If I knew then what I know now, would I ever have started a Makerspace? I've been running a small space for the last 4 years, and it's lost a lot of its magic for me. I used to have high hopes of inspiring others to create. It's very rarely like that. Many times it's cleaning up others messes, or fighting to grow with no resources. Once in a while though, someone's eyes light up when they see the possibilities in the waterjet or laser or 3D printer... Sometimes it's worth it. Most times it's not.
