Air compressor

  • Big enough to serve multiple users in multiple rooms
  • Quiet enough for the workshop, or able to be boxed-in with acoustic panels
  • Air lines to other rooms

Workshop

  • Better bandsaw, probably Startrite
  • Planer-thicknesser-jointer

Oscilloscope

A new floor for G1

The vinyl flooring in G1 is rapidly deteriorating. Literally anything would be an improvement.

Hot Water for G1

Servers/Rack

Laser Cutter Ventilation

Ducting from ground floor to roof level. High-power blower. Fittings. Installation costs.

Amateur Radio

[may be purchased via pledge]

  • Radio: Yaesu FT-857D - used £400-500
  • 2m/70cm vertical base antenna
  • antenna tuner

Entertainment

  • HiFiBerry DAC for the Pi that plays music in G1. It's currently using a USB DAC that's meant to be on the table. Pi's inbuilt output is actually a GPIO doing PWM and sounds like ass, hence needing a proper DAC.
