The Schantz MakerSpace was created for people who share the joy of making things, have a desire to learn or improve their skills, and wish to see the knowledge of craftsmanship survive into the future.
Classes Employees at Schantz Organ Company believe sound craftsmanship is more than just a company goal. It is a passion and a desire to create what few people can even imagine, in an environment that has encouraged this approach for over 145 years.
To keep that passion for skill and craftsmanship alive, the Schantz factory opened its doors to creative, like-minded people who now help us to encourage and teach the makers of tomorrow. Our community is filled with enthusiastic makers who want to bring their creative ideas to life, but lack the necessary tools or experience. We strive to provide educational opportunities and experiences for people who like to build, invent, tinker, and/or learn new skills.
We have something special planned for our next Maker Monday meeting. It is scheduled for Monday Dec, 16, 2024 7-9 pm It will be held at Schantz Organ Co. 626 South Walnut St, in Orrville. On the south east side of our building is the employee parking lot. Park there and enter the building at the south east corner entrance door. Look for the sign. We'll have people there to get you inside to the first floor meeting place. This meeting is going to be a demonstration of our 5'x10' CNC woodworking router, and our new 55"x 36" , 100 watt laser engraver. Rob Baumgartner will be there to demonstrate both machines. We will make and engrave wood cell phone recharger stands and give them away to anyone who comes. In addition we will talk about upcoming classes. We hope to see you there.

At Schantz MakerSpace, we designed a class where students could buy CNC Router kits and, over the course of four weekend class sessions, our instructors helped them through the process of building their machines.
Learn About Our CNC Build Classes Our students have built over 100 3-D Printers and we are now rolling the program into the schools. We have completed workshops at Wooster and Northwestern schools and plan to bring the program to others in the near future.
Learn About Our 3D Printer Build Classes An Arduino is like a little computer chip that controls things like electric sensors, lights and motors. It is the ultimate tinkering tool for a maker. Most people aren’t trained in its programming capabilities to make full use out of it.
