ORANGE The Orange Innovation Center started LaunchSpace to create a makerspace for area hobbyists and entrepreneurs. Now the co-founders just need the tools to make it happen, literally.
Brianna Drohen and Alec MacLeod have decided to launch a tool drive to help meet the need for hand tools and small equipment in a variety of shops ranging from woodworking and blacksmithing to cabinetmaking and pottery.
“These donations are vital to engaging the community while providing a diverse selection of tools and equipment to members and workshop participants,” Drohen said in a statement. “The hope is for donations to come from overstocked garages or tool sheds where the equipment may not see heavy use.

It looks like a match made in heaven, bringing together a LaunchSpace woodworking shop in the Orange Innovation Center with a “community build” event to make bed frames for North Quabbin kids. The matchmaker is Scott Hubbard of Orange, who, with his wife, Tammy, have already built 23 beds for children in the region.
