There’s still no TechShop planned for Austin, but check this out if you’re interested: Austin Local Fab survey!

Unfortunately, I just got word that TechShop Austin, and six other planned locations, have been delayed until 2009. It’s a bummer for Austin makers, but the schedule was a little too aggressive for the TechShop crew; instead, they’ll be focused on a new headquarters in Sunnyvale, and bringing up the Portland and Durham locations.

Just saw this last night, TechShop Austin is scheduled to open this summer (2008)! I haven’t had access to a decent shop in a few years. I can’t wait to play with all the toys a TechShop should have!

I’ve been trying to find out more about the Austin techshop – just heard about it for the first time today. Heard any updates recently?

Hi Eric. Unfortunately, I haven’t heard anything about it since the announcement that the opening date would be slipping.

I have been in touch with Jim Newton about opening a TechShop in Dallas/Fort Worth…If you have any interest in D/FW (or San Antonio,Houston or Bryan/College Station for that matter) Please drop me an email

I would also be interested in a D/FW (mostly D) Tech Shop.

Did the Austin location open? I am interested in opening one in Houston.

Sadly, no. An Austin location never opened, and feel off the roadmap AFAIK.

For Glen and B — Did anything ever come of the Dallas Tech Shop idea? My parents just relocated there and I’d like to get them connected.

Anyone still interested in bringing a TechShop to Austin? We have a real chance of getting it done in 2012…

I think there’s still a fair amount of interest, and there have been a few groups who have a least explored the idea of launching something similar.
