I have found a few good videos posted about lathe and mill work. I queued up a
list to play them as a class and then will have demo time after. Also I
purchased a wood working book a month or so ago that is the the Perkins room on
the book shelf. It does a great job of teaching proper use and safety. I can
teach a class out of it. Give me some feedback on whats essential and what can
be taught on a case by case basis.
Also when do people want to do this?
Andrew are you responsible for making a list of members with machine room
privileges?
I feel this should be publicly posted so we can all keep an eye on who's
running what and no one can just fib and say they have been trained. Until now
we have just been riding by the seat of our pants, but with all this new and
more dangerous equipment we need to buckle down on training Certs.
We will also should implement a "Oops I broke a tool/used the last piece of"
form. That way we can keep a better eye on how much inventory we are going
through and who is breaking things so they can get better training if they need
it. What about using a vending machine to control this? Just my input,
Devin
P.S. Andrew I picked up a sanding belt cleaning stick, it will be at the space
by Tuesday.

And for the more dangerous stuff, maybe set up a training blitz one day every
month or two with Devin?

We've been growing steadily both in members and equipment over the past few
months. So far we've been lucky and side from a few minor faux pas and clogged
sanding belts nothing major has happened. While reading the article on makers
alliance and think box i noticed they have computer based training systems. we
should implement something along those lines. I Know we have discussed this
before for once we get IDs or badges. I was thinking perhaps have training
cards, in business card form factor, for groups of tool s. So you would take an
online quiz for more common/less dangerous equipment like Sanders, nail guns,
and soldering irons. After quiz completion you get the member on duty to
initial the slot for that group of tools. Equipment like the welder, drill
press and lathe would be their own in person training session each. I would
like to get this fleshed out over the next week so it can be a well thought out
proposal to be officially brought up next
week ie; vote on it in three Weeks.
Thanks for your input,
Andrew
