Things We Need
From ipswichmakerspace
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.
Misc
- Carpet (about 3.5*3m square)
- Vinyl flooring (pending, but more offers wouldn't go amiss)
Tools
- TIG Welder
- Pillar drills
- Spray / sandblasting booth. We could probably make one, if someone wished to volunteer. (See section below)
Equipment
- Kiln and potter's wheel
- 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, namely a bottle tree
- Graphics cards - RAM quantity is more important than speed.
- Any dressmaking paraphernalia; shears, rulers, patterns, chalk, etc.
- An air blowing device we can bodge around for the forge - an old hoover would be ideal
- Electrical hand tools and test equipment
- Helping hands
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
- Doming/dapping block & punches, eg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12-DAPPING-PUNCHES-DOMING-BLOCK-25MM-12-DEPRESSIONS-WOODEN-STORAGE-STAND/111460222545
- Flip top stand - could work well for grinders, unless a rotary corner unit is used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXQ707IvutI
- Grinding jig - https://www.instructables.com/id/Knife-Grinding-Jig-1/
- Trolley or trolleys on wheels to contain the Coder Dojo Raspberry Pi kit, including monitors, Pi's resources etc.
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.
