Diyode Community Workshop

We got to attend a day at Canada 2026 in Toronto to check out the latest in fabrication, welding, metalworking, and manufacturing technology.

Here’s a quick look at some of the highlights we spotted on the show floor. Lots of inspiration, lots of cool tools, and plenty of ideas to run wild with back at Diyode. ⚙️🛠️

It was incredible to see some really great demonstrations and have some wonderful conversations with some great companies

What an amazing time at the Waverley Family Fun Night!✨

We were thrilled to bring the Diyode Rocket Program to Waverley Road Public School and spend the evening building, launching, and celebrating with so many enthusiastic young rocket scientists.

A huge thank you to the Waverley community for having us, and to all of the volunteers who helped make the event a success. We can’t wait to launch more rockets again soon! 🚀

What a day! 🎉 Last weekend we had a BBQ for our community to kick off the reopening of our woodshop!

It was wonderful to celebrate with everyone! After many months of permits, inspections, upgrades, and hard work from countless volunteers, it was incredible to see the shop full of members learning, creating, and building again.

Thank you to our woodshop trainer .woodworks, for working his magic on the grill, those who participated in our woodshop training sessions throughout the day, and everyone who put in the immense effort to get our woodshop to this point.

We’re excited for this next chapter and can’t wait to see what projects come out of the space in the months ahead. Keep an eye out for workshop announcements and some upcoming video highlighting our brand-new dust collection system.

Downtown Guelph had a golden egg hunt over the weekend… and we kinda felt left out 😢

So we made our own Golden Egg! 🥚✨

Then we hid it in one shop downtown Guelph!
and inside it? A 1 month membership to Diyode Community Workshop.

To redeem the voucher, be the first person to find the egg and bring it and everything inside to us at 700 York Rd, Guelph. Optimally during our Monday Night Open House . If you can’t make that time DM us or send an email to [email protected]

Find it! Bring it to Diyode! Make cool stuff!

Happy hunting 🔍🥚

We’re excited to host Collective Movement Building with Sundance Commons 🌱

What does it actually take to build a cooperative, collective, or community incubator? Now what about without major funding?

On April 18th, from 12–3pm, Cheyenne from Sundance Commons is sharing a transparent, real-world look at what it took to build a thriving, values-driven organization from the ground up. Starting with no property, no traditional startup capital, just people and a purpose to rally behind.

This session is for anyone thinking about starting something community-focused, interested in discussions around organizing or looking to grow what they’ve already begun.

The session is Pay-What-You-Can and open to organizers, makers, and community builders.

Spots are limited! RSVP through this link - https://forms.gle/G71U7G6reV8uZZb28

Build something together.
