Public Relations report
Shop Status report
We need a pallet jack to move the router. Bruce reported that he's set up external access to our DVR and has provided instructions on the Slack that we can use. Karen reported that she's been going through member storage and has discovered that we have a lot of space available because we had some shop stuff stored there that was taking up space. Some members had 'grossly overreached' the one box per person rule. She's of the opinion that a two-box limit should be sustainable. Taper still has much content here, he's working on a project that may reduce that in the near future. Chris has not responded to an inquiry regarding a saw. She suspects that we may even need two pallet jacks for moving it. We have a new laser, some people have brought in metal working equipment that's tagged. She also reported that a Jointer was donated as well as a sizeable donation from the Kaplans. We have 5 surplus systems that could go out the door as-is and a handful that need work.
