<p>not sure how much has been done since tuesday (couldn't make it to the meeting last night but didn't see it mentioned in the meeting minutes) but what are peoples' thoughts on setting up our new and improved shop? what are some additional capabilities we want? how should things be arranged spatially? alot is still being figured out with CCL as far as where things will go and whatnot so we should be staying in touch with them and scheming up a storm! a long bench w/outlets across the whole back wall would be pretty sweet and usable interchangeably by both groups</p>
<p>i would like to bring in some metalworking tools now that we have a nice concrete floor. ventilation and dust collection will require attention. I propose the far back corner of sudo room's loosely designated area to nucleate the heavy machinery cluster since that will be out of the way and unlikely to conflict. i can bring in a welder, a tiny lathe, and a tiny milling machine next week if that's desirable. other heavy machines that might be beneficial include an abrasive saw, a plasma torch, a sheet metal brake, etc. has anyone scouted the availability of 220V power?</p>
<p>we could greatly benefit from agreeing on how the shop space is to be used as a group with many diverse objectives, where tools go when not in use (wood shop, metal shop, 3d printing shop), designate a few areas to be kept clear when not in use, etc. that was a perennial problem at the last spot which i think arose out of honest doocratic repurposing of the space, but could be improved upon by intentional layout so that the shop stays maximally usable for everyone.</p>
<p>cheers</p>
