Ideas for how we should use such a facility.

Should NOT be a staging post between the 'space and scrap / disposal except by special arrangement (e.g. the existing wood lathe may go in here)

  • Catalogue everything that goes in. Later we can run off some labels to identify "Hackspace Infrastructure Store" items.
  • Items to move in quickly
    • Woolworths trolley-cage and contents (sort / catalogue later)
    • Stacking plastic chairs
    • Air Cylinder (Russell)
    • IKEA Billy bookcase (main parts - find and add hardware later)
    • Brown ex-bathroom steel wardrobe + shelves (use in ISA for storage)
    • Propane cylinders x 3 + red devil heater (not needed in summer)
    • Ducting tubes and fittings, Vacuum cleaner hose tub.
    • Dexion angle / spur shelving uprights, spur brackets etc.
    • Some of the ex-Maplin multi-drawer cabinets.
    • 'Odd' storage items that will find use in Hackspace-3.0 (green letter trays, non-matching multi-drawer cabinets)
    • Stuff for EMFcamp (fluorescent lighting)
    • Cabbage trays not currently in use.
    • Box of stuff from wiring (incomplete) spray booth.
    • At least one tub full of 'hackable materials' more suited to DIY / infrastructure than hacking. e.g. electrical sockets and switches, plumbing (though piping less so?).
    • Tub of installation electrical wiring materials. (Actually the stuff in the metalwork area needed for completion of the welder wiring there could also move out, except for the items actually needed).
    • Big trolley / fan / motor / aircon
    • Other not kept-in-the-space trollies
  • Items to leave in the 'space for now:
    • Flat-bed trolley (needs repair, will never get done if moved out of sight)
    • At least one flexible trolley (keep the blue folder + one of the red sack trollies?)
    • Some small storage items (lin bins?)
  • Other
    • Some items are probably best kept visible in the space, even though unused e.g. whetstone grinders?
    • John Higham / long-term loan tools? (Need new policy regarding these)
    • Excess tools (Jigsaws, chopsaws), so that in-space storage is more efficient.
    • Tools that are awaiting completion / demand for their installation. (Hotwater bath / powder coat gun)
    • Move the patent racking from members' storage to either the ISA, or for project storage in the Studio. If this is done, the 'other' game console might usefully go in the ISA ready for hackspace-3.0?
  • Space generated
    • Some which is earmarked for the welding gases - by the time these arrive, waste and other stuff not mentioned above will have been moved away)
    • Top of spray booth - could suit some lightweight project storage?
    • Under bench in metalsowrk area (will become filled with more relevant items very soon!)
    • Quite a bit of floorspace (especially end of Myford area) All 'free space needs marking as such - for project contruction (NOT STORAGE) use (Need to get floor-marking tape)


Items In Store

Plastic stacking chairs (spatter-painted)

Air Conditioning unit (Heats / Cools / Dries - ideal for use in the studio over winter)

Large centrifugal fan (dusty area dust management)

3phase 1.1HP motor for above.

Large red air cylinder - Russell's compressed air project.
