VHS Equipment Review - Part Five (Boiler room area)

If a decision is made to retire the tools that have ??? sign:
I can take/hack the Dewalt Cordless Drill and Mastercraft 4.5” Angle Grinder and Powerfist Dremel (to see if Scorbot can grip them).

Pt. Roberts HAM Radio Club & Hackspace would be pleased with the Jobmate 7.25” Circular Saw, Light Drill Press, Milwaukee Drill & Black & Decker Corded Drill.

Although I would say to keep the bearings, I have no planned use for them; I just like making tools/machines/jigs.

If @Majicj has a good use for them, I’m all for it.

Also, I don’t quite see it on the list (missed it) but please keep the motors and that aluminum face plate.

I would keep any power tools including jig saw, grinders, dreamel, circular saw. Have a spare tool never hurt. For example we have 3 Dreamel tools and Mastercraft is broken. So if you wanna free up some space this is a good candidate. Personally used yellow dreamel, angle and bench grinders myself. And what kind of metalpresses we have? I would keep those.

My opinion is it’s easy to get rid of the spare tools then buy a new ones. If tomorrow one of the tools we have in double quantity will break, will VHS buy a new one right away? Or some member who need it the most has to step up and do it? I would ask to think about it.

Okay, spent a number of hours cleaning out the boiler room area. I hauled out several garbage cans of wood and plastic offcuts. Special thanks to @mike for helping sort the wood, and @Dmo for looking at the scrap metal.

The area by the boiler room door is now designated a TidySpace Walkway (admin:tidyspace [Vancouver Hack Space]). Please don’t store any materials there as they will be moved.

Everything with a name on it or that looked like a completed project went into Member Storage.

Please check the photos and retrieve your stuff.
