Status: in progress, Tim

All of our drills (bits) currently sit in a single box. We should have a storage system for making it easier to find the right type and size, and to see what we have or what is missing.

• Make or buy an organiser:
  • Multiple holes for each size of drill (because one drill of each size is not enough for a hackerspace)
  • Sections for HSS, brad-point and masonry
• Audit the drills. Dispose of bad ones. Sharpen where possible. Identify what we need to purchase for replacements/spares.
• Identify a suitable drill sharpening system to keep the drills in good condition.

We have permission from Summerhall to install a fan in the external wall. There are two sections where previous vents have been bricked-up, and one of these should be opened and a fan installed.

• Plan how to remove the bricks safely and without damaging the rest of the wall.
• Source a suitable fan.
• Do the work…
• Clean/repaint as required.

The extract vent is currently located in the left corner as you enter the room. It should be relocate to the tile above the rear of the server rack, to better capture the hot air. We have an extra length of flexible hose that should enable this.

G11:

• Fit PIR sensor and door-closed sensor to G11 [Tim]

G8:

• Arrange disposal/re-homing of the desks [Al]
• Build an air filtering system to capture dust (since G8 doesn't have extraction or a window)
  • Fit an external extractor fan (permission has been granted by Summerhall)
• Build a dust extraction system to capture dust from the power tools
• Purchase and install sensitive smoke alarm(s) to warn us before we cause a building evacuation
• Build a standalone workbench (either 150x75cm or 180x75cm)
• Fit shelf under right-section of new workbenches (40cm depth, wall-mounted)

• Design a test pattern for checking/calibrating the laser cutter
• Update OpenStreepMap to identify all the local takeaways
• Sort the PC parts and peripherals
• Make some door wedges
