I’ll do a quick ping on Slack, just to see if we can catch anybody who isn’t checking Talk. I think we should be OK to start locking down the bookings for this Sunday as of noon tomorrow, and then the rest of them the next day.
I think I’m going to have to add a few more days, but I want to wait until I’ve run a round of classes before I do that, just to make sure everything is running smoothly.
I would really like to do this. Thank you!
Please put me down for Oct 11th 1:30pm (or any time that day)
oops, could I move to the 4:30pm slot rather than 3pm? I just realized that’s the same weekend as Ludum Dare, which ends at 3pm.
Ooooh I’m interested if there’s any available slots
@Metal_Janet - Are the slots for this Sunday confirmed? Should I transfer the workshop cost over to you?
@sampath Yes, the priority group has had a chance to book on this round, so we’re going to go ahead call all bookings confirmed; you’re in the clear to do the e-transfer.
If you experience symptoms related to COVID-19 or are required to self-isolate, and need to cancel the lesson, let me know and I will refund the course fee in its entirety. We will re-book once you’re healthy and in the clear.
If there are any slots left, I’ll take one. I’m probably flexible!
I’d be interested in October 4th if there is one more slot left. Let me know. Thanks for setting this up.
@Metal_Janet I would like to do the welding workshop. Let me know if you plan to have classes in October/November.
Put me down for 3:00 pm on October 4th thanks …
What’s the procedure from here ?
At some point before the booked time, e-transfer me $80. janet.mader@gmail.com, use the password welding (you get the discounted rate because you helped with the metal shop build.)
If you have any symptoms of Covid-19 or are required to self isolate, and must cancel your booking, let me know and I will refund the money, and we’ll re-book once you’re healthy and in the clear.
Provided you’re healthy and not required to self-isolate, show up at the Hack Space at a little before 3 pm on October 4.
Stuff to bring/wear:
-Natural fibre clothes, crew-neck or button-up for preference.
-sunscreen
-a cloth or paper mask (we will not be able to maintain 2m distance during the lesson)
-closed toed shoes or boots, ideally leather, canvas also acceptable, we can work with synthetic if we need to, NO SANDALS.
-a bandanna for your hair is generally a good idea, long hair should be tied back.
-A water bottle
Hey, since you’re one of the priority people who helped with the build-out, you’ve got right of first refusal on the October 4 1:30 pm slot. If you’d rather book for later, let me know and I’ll pass the spot to the wait-list.
Edited to add: this is WAY more interest than I was expecting, we’ll definitely be adding more days for October/November. Stay tuned, I’ll try and announce dates/times early next week.
I’m totally game for October 4th 3:00 and I’m transfering the money now

Waitlist:
Once the dates/times for the future workshops are sorted, we can start locking down names to time slots.
So there we go, @Metal_Janet. I hope this puts all the info you need in one spot. Note that the folks I have marked with “*” at the end of their name are regular members, those with “**” at the end of their name are not currently VHS members, and those with nothing at the end of their name are priority/work party members. Let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help.
Cheers,
Mike.
I still need to pay @Metal_Janet for the course but am also waiting to be reimbursed for the fees I paid to dispose of the scraps I took to the Vancouver transfer station. Instead of vhs reimbursing me could that be applied to my course fee? I have the receipt for $20
Awesome, thanks very much for all your help on this @Cantina_Dude.
(For the record, and this doesn’t affect anything, just giving credit where it’s due, but @Lantana is also a priority group person, because she was involved in one of the earliest metal shop builds, but she’s a friend so I’ll work out booking with her directly… again, anybody who’s helped with a metal shop build or work party that isn’t listed here, please PM me and I’ll make sure you get the perks you’re due, sorry for my rusty memory.)
@Hekseskudd that sounds fine to me; send me $80 and bring the receipt with you on the day; I’ll take it out of VHS’s share of the course fee.
Please add me to the wait list…
amazing
