Get Checked Out in one shop, or many!
Lowell Makes is a collection of several distinct work areas called “shops.” Each shop can have its own rules or safety check-out processes. You must be trained, or tested on your skills, before you can use the equipment at Lowell Makes. Each shop has specific requirements to get checked out. Pick a shop, ask or read about the requirements, then set up a time to get Checked Out. Information on checkouts is available on the individual Shop Knowledgebase pages here on Notion.
