Posted: 11 Oct 2020 Lockers for rent |
|
The shop managers moved tools and supplies out of the last two lockers on the back wall of the shop. Each locker is divided into two rental spaces and available for annual rent by any member. The rent is $120 per calendar year and must be paid for the entire year at time of rental. Lockers rented after January 2021 will be prorated for the remainder of the year. Lockers can be shared by two or more members who wish to split the yearly cost. See the monitor on duty to rent a locker or ask any board member about the program. The lockers are useful to store supplies and tools frequently carried to the shop. All proceeds from the locker rental support the shop's budget.

Posted: 13 Mar 2020 New Policy for Power Sanders |
|
We have seen numerous cases where the life expectance of the sandpaper used on the various power sands is cut short. You may have had the experience of bringing your project to one of the stations only to find the sandpaper is not useable and you have to delay your project or look for a less than desirable alternative method. While there is no full proof way to manage this, we are implementing a new policy for all the power sanding stations. It requires that when you complete your operation on a power standing station, you clean the sandpaper with a sandpaper eraser. We have purchased erasers for each machine, so when you finish your project, clean the sandpaper. If you have questions on how to use the sanding eraser, the monitor will assist you. We all enjoy our shop and the sanding stations help achieve our desired goals. Let's make sure everyone has a great experience. |
