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.

Notes:
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 input
David has promised a resin kitlist. He's also suggested a casting workshop at some point this year. Some discussion is needed as to what balance of materials we should get there. Some expire over time, but are cheaper bought in bulk. My leading suggestions are either that we buy perishables from David as needed, or if demand allows us to buy in bulk, sell him anything that's likely to expire soon so he can use it before it does.
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 requires little more than we currently have, other than the resin itself, and PPC, eg nitrile gloves & more labcoats. 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, and starting on replacement hand tools.) Workshop Machinery (Currently: bobbin sander. Planer/thicknesser, bandsaw need costing. Potentially radial arm drill also, price depending.) Main Room T&E (Includes another god-tier soldering bay, CR10S and some filament) 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.
Please do not change table structure. Javascript automatically updates '£subtotal' fields based on cell position/indexes.
Specific input needed:
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. Crimper. Our current one is useless, someone suggest a known good brand please. Woodstock, paints and finishes. Any more needed?
Item | Type | Budget Category | Description | Rationale / Notes | Price | Cost | URL |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Angle gauge / inclinometer | Measuring | Workshop T&E | 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 |
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 |

- 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.
- Kitchen etc - cleaning materials - teabags / coffee - blueroll
- Catering expenses for volunteer workers is allowable in some grants. Point to consider for working party days.
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.
A sewing machine. My efforts to rescue a normal one have yet been fruitless.
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.
The grinder is currently pretty useless. We could expand it with a range of wheels to allow cleaning, abrading, sharpening and polishing - we also need to fit a guard and mount the thing though, it likes to go for a walk and spit firey sparks about the place. https://www.machinemart.co.uk/c/grinding--polishing-wheels/?p=1&c=30&s=pricelowhigh
Resin paraphernalia. Aside from a load of pots and mixers, we'd need scales, gloves, and sheet foam to make the moulds from. Long-term consumables here are things like dyes, mould release agents, of which only a small amount is used per cast. Also plaster of paris and a ton of bandages / rags / paper would be a sensible stock item. They're cheap and used for exomoulds and mean much less resin actually needs to be used per item. We would also need expendable paintbrushes here too.
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.
An oven
I'm going to say £150 as a working figure; feel free to be more specific.
We're in need of a gas plumbing quote. Am happy to babysit engineers if/when they need to inspect the place.
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.
