Requisition requests

Consumaterials:

Card and paper, needs an inbox tray for storage. Ikea would be ideal!

Best value mixed colour sets I can find:

White, black & metalised card, and tissue paper, it seems better to get in person from wilko (which I'll do next time I'm passing), until demand requires bulk buys. If people get into pepakura then 220gsm white card will be eaten very rapidly!

Acrylic paints - wilko acrylic 200ml tubes are very good value. A full range would cost £21 (each tube is about £2) but we would 'donation cost' at about say 50p per shot glass (30ml ish) to re-fund that. Example: https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-lets-create-acrylic-paint-cerulean-blue-200ml/p/0415362 - Again I can get when passing.

Halfway decent brush set - I've given us some really basic ones, there's a midrange 15 piece set for £2 in B&M currently which might be worth rescuing.

Sewing / fabric: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Travel-Home-Sewing-Kit-Case-Needle-Thread-Tape-Scissor-Set-Handcraft-Z/282678320996

Data:

Blank CDs, DVDs; I have a fair few which I'll bring in, as does Steve apparently.
low capacity USB sticks ? Might be worth getting some 4gb ones.

Laser:

Some more acorn nuts would be useful, I think we have M8 presently?

Laser switch - I assume it can handle the throughput? Blue cover & green LED is in stock atm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/illuminated-LED-Toggle-Switch-Missile-Style-Flick-Flip-Cover-12V-12-Volt-20A/182870884973?hash=item2a93f4426d:m:m552oksPX4AGrht3XPGChqQ

However we also need a new nozzle to house it in. Reason being we'll have to graft a metal tube onto it to carry the air assist down over that distance. Depending on the 4" one, we may later want a 7.5" as well, which would also need a different nozzle. The effective cutting profile for that would be about an inch! The kerf is wider though, and the beam profile 'rougher'. 4" is a good kerf/depth compromise, it's more like a jigsaw than a sabre saw.

Likely head candidate: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Cloudray-CO2-Laser-Head-Set-for-2030-4060-K40-Laser-Engraving-Cutting-Machine/1513187_32836741034.html?spm=2114.12010612.0.0.68db1f536tgNRp

Tool cart requirements:

Casters
Tool clips
Rare earth magnets

Dealer's choice as to varieties. No rush either as we ideally need to wait until we have our own hand tool set before constructing this. Speaking of tools, please review / add to the workshop hand tool list.
