(This page is a combining of the Needs list & Wish list pages from the old wiki.)

Being a volunteer non-profit organization, member dues pay the bills. However, that also means that anything & everything in the space was hard won, whether bought with with those dues (which are needed to pay the rent), donated by members & non-members, or scrounged about! Any assistance appreciated!

These are the consumables - things that regularly need replenished. We may have plenty on hand, we may not, you might want to check to see what is most needed.

• Kreg Pocket Hole Jig
  • Pocket hole screws
  • Pocket hole plugs

• Metal ducting for venting the laser cutter; the current flex hose is good, but metal ducts would be better

• Floor Buffer - for the many many tile floors in this new building. Thanks Darren!
• Mop bucket w/wringer THANKS to Jeremy
• Dust mop - the large flat one that the workers use at Wal-mart, but only 2 or 3 feet wide; so much of the space is tiled, this will come in handy.
• Chairs (We need stackable or folding chairs for the Core, and less broken/sad office style chairs and stools for workshop and library/electronic/office areas)
• Tables - Thanks Darren!
• small recycling bins - the blue ones that many offices have by the desk-side trash cans. These would be for the same thing here: so people can drop recycling in the room they are, rather than having to walk multiple rooms away to toss something in the big recycling bins in the Core
