We love to make things in the Gilbert lab.

We have soldering and electrical equipment and a Tormach CNC mill. Campbell Scientific dataloggers are included in many of our products.

Don't reinvent the wheel, below is a list of projects that you are welcome to use as inspiration. This list includes many completed projects, but we are slow in documenting them, so if you want more info please contact Matthew
