[sudo-discuss] sudo shop 2.0

[hol at gaskill.com]

not sure how much has been done since tuesday (couldn't make it to the
meeting last night but didn't see it mentioned in the meeting minutes)
but what are peoples' thoughts on setting up our new and improved shop?
what are some additional capabilities we want? how should things be
arranged spatially? alot is still being figured out with CCL as far as
where things will go and whatnot so we should be staying in touch with
them and scheming up a storm! a long bench w/outlets across the whole
back wall would be pretty sweet and usable interchangeably by both
groups 

i would like to bring in some metalworking tools now that we have a nice
concrete floor. ventilation and dust collection will require attention.
I propose the far back corner of sudo room's loosely designated area to
nucleate the heavy machinery cluster since that will be out of the way
and unlikely to conflict. i can bring in a welder, a tiny lathe, and a
tiny milling machine next week if that's desirable. other heavy machines
that might be beneficial include an abrasive saw, a plasma torch, a
sheet metal brake, etc. has anyone scouted the availability of 220V
power? 

we could greatly benefit from agreeing on how the shop space is to be
used as a group with many diverse objectives, where tools go when not in
use (wood shop, metal shop, 3d printing shop), designate a few areas to
be kept clear when not in use, etc. that was a perennial problem at the
last spot which i think arose out of honest doocratic repurposing of the
space, but could be improved upon by intentional layout so that the shop
stays maximally usable for everyone. 

cheers
