Happy new year folks!
I know the workshop was incredibly busy this past month with folks preparing for holiday gifts and markets. There is much evidence of projects and materials left over in the storage area with many dated in December, as well as October and even earlier from 2024.
The short and “sweet”: We need to start making room for the expansion. Please clear out your temporary projects soon or update your tags if necessary. I will have to stick to the 7-day rule and will start removing old projects in the next few days. This includes all project storage, sheet storage, and vertical storage.
Longer version:
This is a courtesy reminder that storage is allowed for 7-days from the time the ticket is placed. If you are still working on your project, update your tag and consolidate. If you think you may have left something behind, come grab it at your earliest possibility.
In the next few days I will have to start removing old projects beyond that 7-day mark. This storage area will need to have a walkway to go through to the new side of Asmbly. This will likely cause some storage shortages in the near-term, however we will have more storage space available in the woodshop side once the metal shop equipment can be moved over.
Clear out is still in progress. There’s a number of pieces of wood with no label or tags on them. It’s possible they are supposed to be lumped with other projects , it’s possible a tag fell off.
Especially panels! Unfortunately these are too large for the scrap area so when the time comes I’ll likely need to break these down and discard them .
Either case, if you have storage here please ensure it’s properly labeled and I can read your hand writing
There are a few pieces of very nice looking wood here, mesquite maybe, and I can’t read the number. They are almost 3 weeks overdue and will be moving to scrap soon.
Thank you to everyone else who has cleared out your materials. We are working on a good storage solution as the expansion work is happening.
Hey Rolo does the expansion impact the loft storage? If so it would be good to know when since I’ll temporarily store parts up there for projects after the CNC. Also I’ve got (2) UV coated 1/2" Baltic birch panels stored in the panel area I’ll be cutting on Friday morning, one is tagged and still under the 7 day window. It would be good to know more about when the loft and storage areas are shuffled/offline and what does/doesn’t get affected by the expansion.
Great question! The loft storage is specific for stewards or for members paying for extra storage. The loft storage area is not affected by any expansion plans (or other plans) at this time. If you have access to this then continue using without question.
The only storage area affected at this time will be the temporary 7-Day project storage, the sheet, goods, storage, and possibly the vertical storage.
As soon as there is room to start moving a few things next door, that will open up some space for the sheet goods storage on the wood shop side. As long as there is a valid 7-Day tag (or exception) on sheet goods, I will make sure they move along with any storage changes.
