Workshop & Equipment
A look at the tools and equipment aboard Tabisuru Makers Lab, and what you can make with them.
Bring the tools of making to your town!
The base is a Honda Acty, a kei truck. I built this one-of-a-kind mobile workshop entirely by hand — putting up the frame, adding insulation, attaching the outer walls, and installing power and workbenches. Park it wherever I arrive, and it instantly becomes a place for making. Not being tied to a location — being able to make anywhere — is Tabisuru Makers Lab's greatest strength.
The build is documented on YouTube.
See how the workshop came together on YouTube. I also share my travels and making adventures!
Tools and equipment aboard Tabisuru Makers Lab
I travel with all kinds of making tools.
*I change the onboard equipment depending on the workshop or event, so not everything is always on board.

A fast, high-resolution 3D printer that can print in multiple colors.
