Roundhouse Membership Information
please note: it may take 3-6 weeks to schedule your New Member Orientation & Safety Checkout.
Please be patient, kind, and understanding as we respond to all of our new member applications. We believe in fostering a community of passionate, united makers, and it starts with a few steps to kickstart your membership and ensure a safe and enjoyable experience in our shared space.
Membership is for folks who have previous tool experience and can show proficiency in using the space independently. Members are self-directed users who work independently are their own projects and creations.
If you are interested in becoming a member please fill out the contact form on our website with the shops you are interested in and your previous tool experience. We will be in touch to arrange your New Member Orientation and Tool Safety Check-Out.
Don’t have previous tool experience? Check out some our great classes so you can learn the skills to become a member!
If you are lapsed member and have completed your orientation and safety checkouts, we welcome you to renew your membership here or monthly auto-pay membership here.

Project Storage
We wish we had more space, but we don't yet. That means working on large projects like vehicles, large sculptures, etc, is not possible. Sorry! We do have limited storage for smaller projects on a short term basis. And we have lockers that we encourage you to rent to store your personal items in.
Specialty Tools
Some specialty tools are time and skill intensive, and require special training and advance registration for their use. These include the laser cutter, CNC router and CNC plasma cutter. You must take tool-specific classes to use these, and we recommend reserving these tools in advance. We welcome commercial use of these tools, but charge an hourly rate for tool use going to explicitly commercial purposes.
Youth Members
Youth must be at least 8 years of age to be a member.
Youth members under 18 must have a Truckee Roundhouse Release of Liability waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian.
All youth members are required to attend a new member orientation, shop safety checkout, and follow all Truckee Roundhouse Membership Policies.
Metal and wood shops are restricted to ages 12+.
Youth members ages 8 - 15 must always be accompanied by an adult or guardian who is an active member.
The adult/guardian must be safety checked out in the same shops as the youth, and
The adult must be present to supervise and guide the youth during their activities.
Youth members ages 16 and 17 may use the shops independently, without a parent or guardian present.
Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis with Truckee Roundhouse consent.
