spacewise I'm just back from a look around a certain disused large brick
facility on Riccarton road with the initials A.H., and Spacecraft was
going through my mind - there may be some possibilities there but there
are also hurdles to be overcome.

Slightly on-topic: it would be cool to see something like this
happening again... Christchurch probably needs this now more than
ever...

Kerry
I've been in touch with Richard from http://www.makers.org.nz/ who is
setting up a maker space in Wellington.
We've discussed a conversion of 40ft shipping container and turning it
into a maker space lab here in Christchurch. The project is in a
scoping stage and I am hoping we could get a bit of funding to get the
project up and running.
One side of the project I would like to figure out is who is going to
"carry a torch" to make the project sustainable in a long run. Apart
from that, there is a few other questions:
- what should be organisation structure? do we need one?
- what about safety in such environment (ie. using tools that should
be operated by persons who know what they are doing)?
- how to control access to the lab?
- how to pay for new tools? donations?
- how to do training for people who have no experience working in a lab at all?
Cheers,
Marek

I suggest starting with a definition of the scope first and then that
will define how complex things will be.
If it is on private land then that could answer some of the questions.
Liability would fall on the property owner if it is on private land
and there are insufficient waivers etc in place.
The level of training will also depend on what you consider a lab to
be. A few simple tools is pretty low-key and can be quite informal and
people will donate spare tools. It gets a lot more serious if you have
welding kit, table saws, lathes etc.
