- | **<font 12ptfont-family: | + | ===== 1. President’s Report ===== |
- | * | + | |
- | **<font 12ptfont-family: | + | |
- | **<font 12ptfont-family: | + | * I'm very happy with all the really neat updates I've seen, from the Sign Rehab to the Electronics area, to much of the smaller tidying up that several members have done, resumption of orientations, |
- | * | + | * I just completed attending the 2020 Nation of Makers Conference |
+ | * We will continue to operate in conjunction of our local state and city guidelines, and if conditions worsen or whatnot. | ||
+ | * We all need to think about how we will do all this in the near and further future. I’m going to ask all Area Captains & Stewards to look at their space and post how many people can distance 6' or better in their room. As I mentioned above, many places are doing a wide number of options, | ||
+ | * Thank you everyone! | ||

+ | * Darrel had looked into a hackathon type event, and there was interest in holding such an event of our own, ideally in person, so who knows when? | ||

- | * | + | * Nothing to report. |
+ | | ||
+ | * No report submitted | ||
+ | * Arcade - Ed Heron | ||
+ | * JJ Reports: | ||
+ | * The arcade was rearranged and cleaned. It has the same feel as before, just cleaner and less cluttered. Come by and play a game or watch some youtube while taking a break from making. | ||
+ | * Digital Arts - Darrel Knutson | ||
+ | * Printer down right now; still working on it. | ||
+ | * Sought approval for supplies purchase (once the printer is fixed) | ||
+ | * Electronics Lab: Doug McGeehan | ||
+ | * Electronic Storage clean-up is ongoing. Storage room migration is stalled at the moment while I focus on organizing and inventorying our circuit supplies. You can look at the inventory spreadsheet here (it is not complete): | ||
+ | * https:// | ||
+ | * To free up shelf space and avoid disasters, I plan to mount the small parts cabinets to the walls in the lab room. | ||
+ | * Progress on the cabinet mounting is stalled until I can get some help, which I'm not actively pursuing while COVID-19 concerns persist. Meanwhile, I'll use this time to reorganize the contents of the cabinets in a more consistent manner. | ||
+ | * Days since last soldering iron injury: ??? (let's start counting as of today) | ||
+ | * Fiber Arts: JJ Salley | ||
+ | * The room is getting used and people are using the material and yarn in the room! | ||
+ | * Be sure to disinfect before and after using the room. Paper towels and a spray bottle of cleaner is on the counter in the room. | ||
+ | * Other updates from JJ: | ||
+ | * Kitchen: Cleaned the kitchen, including a lot of the cabinets and inside the fridge. | ||
+ | * Entryway: It is important for the entryway to be presentable. | ||
+ | * Handicap parking spots: I repainted the 2 parking spots including the lines. | ||
+ | * Library: I tried to create a nice private workspace and an inviting study space in the library. | ||
+ | * Laser: Craig Goldsmith | ||
+ | * He has not yet purchased ducting to move the ALEPH laser cutter. Hopefully this month | ||
+ | * Remember: only one person in the room at a time! | ||
+ | * Machine Shop: Denis Muradov | ||
+ | * I see that a horizontal bandsaw was bought. Just a reminder, if you buy a bulk length worth of bandsaw blades (50ft or 100ft, etc) I can weld a blade together. This should take an hour. Alternatively another officer with a key (I'd have to drop it off, since the risk of electrocution is real with the blade welder it should not be used by lay people) and training (quick coaching over the phone and youtube) can do it as well. I have done this with a few blades so far. The blades that do not work are the thin ones and those that are only about 1/4 wide for 9 inch bandsaws for scroll cutting. I have tried to weld them but I didn't get anything usable because the welder is meant for bigger blades. Either way, it's an option. | ||
+ | * Stained Glass/Clay: Sherie Pennebaker | ||
+ | * Nothing to report | ||
+ | * Welding: John Murray | ||
+ | * Doug McGeehan has loaned a horizontal metal-cutting bandsaw to the metal / welding shop (a Grizzly 7X12 unit, model G0561) , but it is not yet ready for member use and likely won't be until sometime in July. Authorization to use it will require training and/or a demonstration of competency, which still needs evaluation. A lockout device | ||
+ | * Doug has drafted a training guide for the bandsaw, which John is evaluating. Once that is done, Denis will be invited for his input as well. | ||
+ | * Blades | ||
+ | * Days since last bandsaw injury: 21 | ||
+ | * Nature of injury: Doug pulled a muscle unloading the bandsaw from the truck :( | ||
+ | * Nothing else to report, per John M. | ||
+ | * Woodshop: Jesse Trujillo/Darrel Knutson | ||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | * Building Front Quelab sign repairs: | ||
+ | * I cut out the letters on the laser cutter. | ||
