Current wishlist
This page is a hybrid of the old Council Grant page, which was mainly core items for about £2k, and the current/Lottery Grant wishlist, which is more optimistic and includes infrastructure. Once Things have Settled, the Wishlist can then be reconfigured, taking any recent developments into account.

Page Intent
(The items linked here are probably the lowest available price, but due to the quantity of data I've been digging through I cannot do exhaustive searches on everything so this is not currently certain.)
Where possible, tools are emphasised over materials. The idea is to increase the range of our abilities, via either new avenues or extending capabilities of current equipment. The table has delusions of being a spreadsheet and does almost clever things. Edit carefully if you have to!
Awaiting research & costing
Lathe tools. At the least, a roughing gouge of our own would be prudent. Some existing long-term loan tools need TLC. The table saw needs a new blade, Jon had to buy a new chop saw fence recently, and the belt sander needs a new belt. The bandsaw needs shooting. Interlinked smoke detectors. Jimbo had some suggestions there. More cameras are needed for downstairs CAT5 too New laser tube for Selene, ideally 40W or close A3 laminator A3 printer kiln Forge construction materials Anvil Anvil tools Plasma cutter! Water extinguishers, C02x2

Workshop materials
As in materials for running workshops, to get people interested. Ideas have so far included laser box making, silver jewellery casting, and resin casting (David).
First priority is working out what workshops we wish to run. Second is if we want to bother explicitly costing them, or just fund them from the float & repay that from the day's fees. We do however need enough stock material and equipment on hand for the process.
Resin has been costed now. Laser boxes require absolutely nothing new - hopefully this can be a regular workshop if it goes well.
Silver casting; gas, a blowtorch, a crucible, and an old saucepan full of sand are all we need. There are a few other cheap bits but no need listing them.
The Wishlist Proper
Usage: Budget category is for accounting/overview purposes, and automatic totalling. By the same token Cost is cleaned line cost eg 3 * goggles at '£3-5ish' == 3*4 == £12. For specifically costed items that only one are needed of, this is a duplicate of Price.
Options:
Workshop T&E (Currently: PPE, additional tools/measures.) Workshop Machinery (Currently: bobbin sander. Planer/thicknesser, bandsaw need costing. Potentially radial arm drill also, price depending.) Workshop T&E Other (Stuff we borrow that we should probably own, eg replacement hand tools) Main Room T&E (Includes another god-tier soldering bay, CR10S, bench PSU and the laser airflow modification) Maintenance and Improvement (Currently gas fitting, which needs costing. Air filter and the workshop shelves would be good to have too) Essential Materials (wood, filament, resin, screws, glue, solder, etc.)
Some tools span room usage or purpose, eg calipers are used for more than woodwork, gloves all sorts, but until category numbers need adjusting I'm using which room it'll be stored in as the delimiter. Big Things are usually at the base of their section.

Item | Type | Budget Category | Description | Rationale / Notes | Price | Cost | URL |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Depth gauge | Measuring | Workshop T&E | Calipers for depth. | For making sure that the table saw or router really IS set for exactly X mm. Calipers with depth gauges aren't ideal for this as both the body and needle are too narrow; a gauge rides the highest points of the router bit / saw blade and spans the recess it emerges from. | £16.99 | £16.99 | https://www.amazon.co.uk/Trimmer-Router-Digital-Measuring-40141500/dp/B0713TZRP6/ref=sr_1_3?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1516207783&sr=1-3&keywords=digital+depth+gauge |

Angle gauge / inclinometer | Measuring | Workshop T&E Other | Calipers for angles. | Dead handy for attaching to saw blades or tables (eg drill press, sander, bandsaw) to make sure that it actually really IS 90 / 45 degrees, not just 'roughly'. Much time and hair is saved. | £16.59 | £16.59 | https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tacklife-Protractor-Portable-Pocket-Size-Inclinometer/dp/B072KGHZY9/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1516207657&sr=8-4&keywords=digital+angle+gauge |

Rasp and file set | Tool | Workshop T&E Other | For subtractive handwork, especially on woods and metals | Since we have none to speak of, other than Adam's 2 knackered old woodrasps, and one veteran square edge metal file. With fishing on Ebay or Amazon prime only offers this will be cheaper than Draper purport. It's a lovely set. | £20-60 | £40 | https://www.drapertools.com/product/44961/200mm-Soft-Grip-Engineers-File-and-Rasp-Set-(8-Piece) |

3D Printer | Equipment | Main Room T&E | A reliable & accurate 3D printer | CR10S is probably the optimal choice. A CR10 alone is about £50 cheaper. Photon & Ender 3 also worth considering. | £379.88 | £379.88 | https://www.amazon.co.uk/Creality-3D-Aluminum-Upgraded-High-precisio/dp/B076BRF8S6/ |

Essential Materials | Subtotal: | £subtotal | |||||
Total | £tree.fiddy |
Note that the resin materials will pay for themselves, the workshops will charge enough to cover the usage, and over time will net more paying members.
Workshop T&E Other are hand tools that we already have, but only due to loans. Ideally we need to start owning some of the core stuff outright.
Disregarding those two figures, the total drops by £632.60 - currently to £2594.75.

- Blacksmithing (awaiting information on possible donations/loanations/purchase opportunities) Anvil, heavier the better - cheap Chinese have reputation of being made of cast iron, ie. non-heattreated and soft, don’t go that way. East-Europeans etc. are usually OK. The anvil needs a proper block under it, and ideally a horn. Railway track can be used to make smaller specific-purpose anvils. Some anvil tools are needed, cutting wedge and iron plate for hot-cutting. Hammers & tongs - more the merrier - and for once, here diversity is a good thing! Minimal core; 1kg, 1,5kg and a 2 kg straight peen blacksmiths hammers, a couple smaller ball peen hammers and some basic tongs should suffice for a start. Mole grips/clamps also handy. Working tables, at least one with a metal surface. Need to think about weatherproofing. The actual forge. Probably gas powered tube-forge for efficiency, no reason we couldn't make another size later if needed. A few vices are a must. Some literature about the craft would come handy too A power hammer would be amazing, and save us pissing the neighbors off.
- Sharable with the metalshop: Some sort of fixed grinder - stone or belt sander. Fixed vertical drill. Loanations available though. Loads of hand tools, angle grinders of different sizes, files, metal brushes, pliers, hack-saws, etc. Protection stuff, goggles, respirators, earmuffs, maybe panzers or coveralls too. Table mounted sheet metal cutter? Brake/folder combi maybe?

- Still to cost: Workshop consumables Wood glue Super glue Duct tape Sandpaper Sanding sponges; Festool ones seem good WD40 3-in-1
- Kitchen etc - cleaning materials - teabags / coffee - blueroll
- Wood dyes, paints? Steve said some were missing - if I know which we can replace them? Spray paint is always useful eventually. A good ebony dye would be very nice.
To research / add:
Passive air filtration. Bloody useful and it could be considered under a few grant budget headings as accountancy requires. http://www.axminster.co.uk/jet-afs-500-air-filtration-system-310483 £304.25 - or one twice as effective for £90 more - http://www.axminster.co.uk/jet-afs-1000b-air-filtration-system-310481 £394.04 Other options are certainly available. Filters and mounting gubbins will also be needed for whichever is chosen.
Screen printing equipment has been suggested. Digital and/or oldschool? This is a beast I am unfamiliar with. Space is also a factor. A 'starter kit' seems to be about £60, but is mostly consumables. If someone with time and preferably subject expertise could research this I'd appreciate it, I'm oversaturated with research as it is and it's not one of the areas I've worked with (unbelievable but true).
A 'better' front door camera. Awaiting thoughts from Jon. We have potentially been offered a free replacement from Sir James, uncertain as to timeframe or quality though.
Long-term consumables may be worth investing in. In particular, paints, wood dyes and finishes spring to mind. On a related note, also paintbrushes.
Resin paraphernalia.
Building infrastructure
The Under Rafter shelves
Total: $blocktotal Ply, assume 18x1220x2440mm 5 * £34.99 ; £174.93 (a lot of flat surface to cover here) CLS, 3 * £2.50 ; £7.50 Casters, assume 8 bays * £4.29 pack 4 casters ; £34.32 Screws, 500 * 1; £4.99
CLS: 45cm * 7 * 2; 6.3m / 2.4m = 3 beams; £7.50. If we need support under, 2 * 5.6 = 11.2 / 2.4m = 5 beams; +£12.50
Plywood: 80cm * 120cm * 6 = 2 sheets, 5.6m * 80cm = +3 sheets. Technically can do 2 sheets but the joints would be everywhere.
It might be worth giving each 'bay' a plastic or fabric curtain to stop dust getting back there, otherwise boxes and such will become dust traps. This may potentially affect air movement and thus damp issues though. Prices are from Wickes. Are we limiting this enterprise to one side only? Assuming so for now.
Main Room Additions
- Sharpies.
- More drawing equipment - I've equipped us with basic geometry and stationery, but curve rulers would be excellent.
- Cutting mats
- Metal rulers with nonslip backing
- Actual scalpels, and a more rugged general craft knife
Craft 'starter kits'
To expand options. Note that many of these tools are cross purpose.
- Leatherwork
- Wirework
- Sculpting/waxwork
- Casting
- Papercraft
- Painting/finishing. Brushes, pallets and solvents etc.
- Fabric/textiles.

Wilko disallow online shopping for some pointy things, so an awl and Stanley knife are also needed. We need an actual tool storage device too - I'm considering building a mobile toolstand rather than having things in a semi-organised heap on the floor.
Current total £165.25.
I'd suggest that we keep the current toolbags around for now, but that any tools used from them are made a note of. After a while we'll build up a clearer picture of what else we need to add to ours.
