While this story is directly related to word the Woodshop, this applies to all members and spaces.
Upon walking into the workshop around 3:00 p.m. this afternoon, I noticed it looked different, smelled different, and the air tasted different.
I didn’t hear anything strange, but I noticed it looked fairly cloudy towards the CNC side of the workshop. I could smell more sawdust in the air than usual. And what really turn my head that they was how the air tasted different.
Looking around, I noticed a significant amount of dust all over the big CNC dust collector.
We noticed the bag had been popped open at the very bottom. Instead of collecting dust, it was spewing it everywhere.
Please pay attention to your senses. And intuition. If something smells different, feels different, looks different, tastes different, something is probably different. I will be checking the camera feeds to identify who or what is responsible for the initial pop.
It’s possible there was some accident or natural mishap that caused this, however it’s also possible it was negligently left for someone else to deal with.
In either case, I ask all of you to pay attention to your surroundings and bring awareness to me or the rest of the staff and stewards when anything seems out of place. No matter how big or small, we can submit unlimited problem reports and I do take note of all of them.
