We held a Hack the Space weekend from 18:00 on Friday 8th February to 18:00 Sunday 10th February (some jobs starting at 13:00). It was all hands on deck improving our space! This wiki page was intended to detail exactly what needed doing so that we were all working towards the same goals. Now that the weekend is over, this page shows what we were working on and our progress.
Many thanks to the many people who gave their time to make this a success.
Studio Flooring Replacement
As many are aware the studio flooring was in desperate need of replacement after many years of surviving. 2019 was time for new flooring. During this time we also reset LPS (Large Project Storage). Below are some of the jobs completed

PAT Testing
- See also: Team:Safety/Portable_appliance_testing
Portable appliance testing needs to be carried out to bring us in line with safety regulations. This job started on Saturday. It is simple to do and needs no special skills beyond being able to properly use and read the test equipment. Demonstrations were available from James Adams or James Taylor of Safety Team and Trustee fame.

One of the toilet seats was broken.

Leaking Tap
The hot tap in the upstairs toilet is leaking. This could do with being looked at before it gets any worse by someone with plumbing skills.

Producing a Checklist of tools
Producing a list of tools is a task that can be worked on if you find yourself alone or you are working on PAT testing during the weekend, (see also Portable Appliance Testing Records at http://nhpat.ocatelle.xyz/login/). There is already a wiki page for this list that can be updated by anyone :)
The wiki page for the list is located here: Tool list
CNC Area

Dust shoe for CNC Mill
This is a low priority task that could be worked on if alone in the space during the shutdown. It will probably require some 3D Modelling skill.
The mill could potentially be fitted with a removable dust shoe that has an attachment for the hoover. Something that looks something like this: http://www.cncrouterparts.com/universal-cnc-dust-shoe-p-396.html
Tool Storage Rack
The collets and tools are currently sitting loose on the stepper controller under the CNC PC monitor. I would like to get some kind of tool rack made to better organise the area. The rack should include provision space for more tools to be added in the future.
