OK, we are fully funded, I’m going to pick this sucker up tomorrow morning. If anybody wants to help me unload and set up at the space, I’ll be there at around 10 AM.
Being as the majority of the funds for this come out of the welding course fund, which basically underwrites the welding shop consumables and incidental tool purchases, if anybody else would like to throw in for this buy (you will get your name on the tool) it would help to keep those funds freed up for other welding shop purchases and projects. I’ll keep pledges open for the next week.
I’m working all morning, otherwise I’d definately assist. Not sure how long the setup will take but I can come to the space in the afternoon if help is still needed then.
Change of plans… it’s ours, but I’m going to bring it to the Hack Space on Monday; I was planning to disassemble it to get it into my car, but that’s going to be more of a pain in the ass than it’s worth.

Many thanks everyone for the support! It is a large purchase and we are grateful to everyone for your donations.
Thanks everyone! I will DM people who have pledged with my email address. I also take cash; if you go this route, DM me and we’ll discuss specifics. Thanks very much for spearheading this and keeping everything organized, @Brad.
