At the front of the shop, you might see that we have a slowly growing pile of items for the woodshop. These are upgrades for existing tools we have in there, and I'd like to make sure everyone knows before I make too large of a move.
The three tools I've been looking at are the jointer, belt/disc sander, and bandsaw. At our next member's meeting, I'd like to get approval on using our Space's KMS rewards points to offset the cost of a new bandsaw, along with deciding what would be done with the old tools. If all seems well, I could have them in place by the end of that weekend, November 9th
Part of this upgrade will include a flip-top cart for our thickness planer and belt/disc sander (either old or new) This is what we are working on with Enbridge, along with a helical cutterhead for the planer. We would just need less than a sheet of plywood, following the common designs you can see online, I have a set of locking casters for that in one of the boxes up front. I'd like to have the cart ready for Enbridge to build/assemble by the end of next weekend is well.
After that, I think in November I'll run a few nights of workshop re-orientations for any members who wanted to familiarize themselves with the Industrial Arts room, and showcase the recent changes.
