Mostly equipment. See Replenishment Requests for consumables and other things we had, but now need again, and the wishlist for things we want but expect to have to buy.

Tools

• Welder, any sort considered!
• Bandsaw, any working sort considered.
• Spray / sandblasting booth. We could probably make one, if someone wished to volunteer.

Equipment

• A gas oven would be handy. Ours has lost temperature regulation in the main oven; it's gas mark 11 or bust.
• Additional kitchen equipment, especially a masher. Needed more for brewing than cooking currently!
• Brewing equipment, especially a bottle tree
• Graphics cards - RAM quantity is more important than speed.
• Any dressmaking paraphernalia; shears, rulers, patterns, chalk, etc.
• An anvil. Or a comparable chunk of metal. A slice of rail would work well too, even an old sledgehammer head. Or a large drawing pin? Anyone?
• Electrical hand tools and test equipment
• Helping hands
• Kiln. Not something we can use now, but maybe later...

Things we can build

• Lighting - we have panels, just needs flexistands!
• Dust cabinet/spray painting booth. Bonus points if this also serves as an insulated box for fabrication processes using high voltage.
• Sheet metal brake, for folding
• Drum sander attachment for the drill press - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcwZNydHgsA

And as always...

• Wood of almost any calibre
• Hackable & useful junk / components for the communal stockpiles. ( “To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.” --Thomas Edison )

Virtual Things

• Workable membership management software
• 3D printer remote monitoring & management system, allowing use out of hours.
