Hey sudo ers
Imagine a sudo room where you'd want to sit and hack for hours. A sudo were
you'd want to have enlightening conversations for hours. Read, Build, Saw,
Hang out.
All this can become a reality... if we change the damn lighting!
Is anyone interested in doing something about the slightly depressing
lighting in sudo?
I am. I think that if we change the lighting, it will be a small revolution.
It would be cool to be a group of fabulous people working on it!
I imagine that LED lights instead of the current ones would be great. We
could also scatter some smaller & cute directional lights here and there.
Let's start a light revolution thread!

I'm working on an open sourced learning kit that's more physical than strictly digital
It will help people learn how to use the Sudoroom creatively . I'll be asking people for tips and contributions because I don't know anything !
That's sort of good because having the eyes of s beginner is good for teaching but it means asking a lot of questions

Hi Helen,
the truth is that there is no one in charge of the sewing machines, and if
you feel qualified to work on them and improve them, you should go ahead
and do that. If you can document what you're doing, it will help if you
can either do that on paper by the machines, or preferably by editing the
sudoroom wiki. If you are not familiar with Wiki editing, there are
people who can help you get started with that.
I brought in the Embroidery machine, and I know a little about how it
works, but i'm no expert. We appreciate anything you can do to help get
all the machines working just right.
Note; one of them is a button sewing machine. I think it was mistaken
for a serger (which we do not have, but we want) so I am hoping it can be
returned and we can get a serger instead.
Also we have a very nice "juki" sewing machine that is apparently missing
its oil pan. I think oil pans can be made out of sheetmetal, or bought on
ebay, but anyway that machine would be a good replcaement for the older
machine on the wooden table, if we can get it to work better than that
one.
thanks you for your help!

Hello, I recently was invited to sudoroom to check out the sewing machines
and have tinkered with them a little bit. I've identified some problems,
missing pieces, etc. and want to keep working on/with them, but I'd like
to talk to anyone else who has used them or whoever brought them there. I
look forward to meeting y'all and I'm excited to get involved with the
space.

Here's a link to a few images of a low cost "Tiny Home" concept based on
truck camper RV's which are available for free or very cheap:
https://plus.google.com/u/1/photos/106839673035751587991/albums/60779607855…
The catch is that the jacks used to raise and lower these campers are no
longer functional due to structural issues with the wood frame. So I
devised a way in which the camper can be rolled onto the back of a car
trailer and then rolled off onto a wood platform foundation. You can see
this in some of the attached images.
One advantage of the truck camper is that it is not technically a "RV"
since it has no wheels plus it is less than 120 square ft. So if you have a
property to put one of these on then no permit is required. However, people
absolutely hate these things so I modify it to make it look like a small
shed.
I have two of these tiny homes setup now, one in Marin near China Camp and
another in the NE corner of California on a 10 acre farm. There's also an
image included of a tent cabin which is technically a "fabric covered
agricultural processing structure" in the eyes of the law. The land use is
described as a "Tree Sanctuary" where we rescue small endangered trees and
reintroduce them into the wild, hence the justification for occupying the
property which we own freely with no mortgage or other banking encumbrances.
