I am a retired software and television engineer. I spend most of my time currently designing and building LEGO Technic devices. I also dabble a little in things such as Arduino, NIXIE clocks, electronics, wood-working, steam engines, and programming.
I used to be the trainer for the Tormach CNC milling machine.

Larry Anderson passed away recently from health complications. He joined the makerspace in 2014, and was a fast friend to many of us.
He was instrumental in acquiring our very first *functional* CNC milling machine. Leading the group buy for our Tormach 770, he personally contributed $5000 to the effort and handled the selection of the machine and negotiation with the vendors.
He then developed a training program for members and ran the metal CNC training classes for years afterward. I don't know exactly how many of us were trained by Larry, but I would wager it is in the hundreds.
Other passions of Larry's included Lego, Computer Programming, Electronics, Glass Working, and so much more. He was a true skill collector who loved making.
Larry generously remembered the Milwaukee Makerspace in his passing with a legacy gift, we are honored to have been a positive force in his life.
If you have memories of Larry in or outside the space please share them on the member list!
