Did you know Hive13 rents our space in the Anchor Building? Did you know our landlord is the Weber family that owns and operates Garden St. Iron & Metal, Inc. next door?    Did you know they will weigh your car before and after you drop off your scrap and pay you cash for that scrap before you leave?  

FAIR WARNING - Just don't leave your car near their shredder by mistake.

Join us on Tuesday, April 23 at 7:30pm when Tyler Weber shares facts, stories, and answers questions about how this well run family business manages to do what they do; sorting and grinding 170 tons of chewed-up metal an hour in their 21st century scrap metal recycling operations.

Members, guests, first-time-walk-ins, and all those interested to learn more are welcome to come to hear his talk.  Come early to see our space, meet folks, and check things out.  Find Us.

Get ready to get your NEON on!  The Hive’s 2nd Tuesday guest speaker program (for February) is proud to bring you Kevin Wallace from our amazing Camp Washington neighbor, the American Sign Museum.  If you don’t already know, these folks run the largest public museum dedicated to signs in the United States!  Their collection covers more than 100 years of American sign history in 20,000 square feet of indoor space.  The museum is a walk through the ages of sign technologies and designs.  It is a SHINING example of the best in Cincinnati and it is just down the street here in beautiful Camp Washington.  Join us as Kevin ENLIGHTENS attendees on NEON, the making of NEON signs, and related processes.  Are you excited to learn NEON?  We are too!

Hive13's national award winning Power Tool Drag Race just keeps rolling along.   Member JimD will be dusting off the track setup and carting it to Greenville,SC for the inaugural race of the 2019 season.  Greenville's makerspace Synergy Mill is collaborating with Hive13 to sponsor the race day at Greenville's STEMfest 2019.  The short track setup will be indoors at the Roper Mountain Science Center on Saturday, February 9.  The track setup will return to the Hive after this race to await the next event.  This year will be our seventh season of racing, and it keeps getting better.

Some will know JimD has  dual membership and shares his time between Hive13 and Synergy Mill.  Members who may want to help with the before and after in Cincinnati, and anyone who might be interested to also be in Greenville on race day, should contact JimD.
