Main branch of the Cambridge Public Library has a makerspace in the basement.

They're in Allston now, for the curious

Can you borrow a neighbor’s drill/drill press?

On this topic — not sure if they have a drill press, but you can view their available equipment online. Here’s their website and their equipment list.

No drill press or really any woodworking tools (other than a laser cutter/engraver).

no drill press though

It's called The Hive and It was easy to get safety certified on their zoom class but I've been waiting for a long time tryin to get a space to get certified on a specific device.

It's free and convenient which makes it a bit over-subscribed. I'd get the process started with the safety training and then try to get certified on the tools when you can

This place looks awesome! Pretty affordable memberships too.

Check Rockler since it’s a wood working store they may do that for you.
