Request for 3 months in the basement (Propped up-right next to my box (there is room - I've checked [in fact they're there now since I'm new and didn't know the storage request procedure], but I'm quite happy to put it elsewhere if need-be))

Awaiting training for the laser cutter

***If no one replies to this topic the request will be automatically approved within 2 days.***

Why will this need 3 months? 

Can you not bring in these materials as needed for the project?

Hi Dave,

Sorry I didn't reply earlier. I don't understand how the mailing list works.

3 months because:

1. I don't plan to use the sheets of plywood all at once.
   
2. I don't know when I'll get my laser-cutter training

I can't bring the sheets in one-by-one because:

• I cycling in to the Hackspace to save money on the tube fair and the plywood is too big to carry by bike, but still small enough not to take up much room downstairs.

What should I do now?

Thanks,

Lachlan

Learn how the mailing list works. You can't communicate properly with the hackspace without it. If you have problems with it, just ask.

[Lachlan Stibbard Hawkes]

What about with respect to my storage request. Should I submit another one?

Thanks,

Lachlan

This has mostly been answered already, but to summarise - submit a request, give the details of what you are doing, why the length of time and the size of what you want to store. 

Follow the mailing list so you can answer questions in a timely manner.

And for your specific request, the suggestion was to store it on the wood rack, as it is not good to try and store things between members boxes.

I'd be happier if the request came after you've had the training, as until then, it's not a project that's being worked on, and the hackspace doesn't have space to store every members' supplies.

I don't know how useful this will be, but this is my experience of travelling in/cycling with MDF/Plywood - I get my sheets cut by the supplier to A3 size and either hand carry it in by bus or use an A3 backpack art case when I cycle in.   

It's tricky, but it is possible to plan around when to bring it in to get it cut, with the small risk that the laser will be in use for a while or the medium risk that the laser cuter is down.  Webcams on the laser and tool access (both on the members section of the hackspace site) help mitigate those risks.

I have found that people don't leave quantities of materials in the hackspace as a resource to learn and experiment with.  They tend to bring in small samples, for short periods.  One could think of it as a project to learn how to use the tool, with a small sample of material to use.
