Class on installing Arch linux on laptop encrypted drive
Submitted by Jay Johnson on Mon, 05/04/2020 - 6:11pmWould very much like to learn how to setup up a boot sector on a secondary/non-primary drive(a lot of people have windows PC's with room for second drives), encrypt the rest of the drive, and install archlinux (preferably led by someone who has a bit of experience with these things so that they may be able to answer questions about setting up encryption and Arch.

Continuous Carbon Fiber for Markforged

Workaday Hack - DIY Phone Cradle
Submitted by Robert Narracci on Fri, 04/10/2020 - 11:14pmIf you're working at home (I feel lucky to be doing so...some people aren't lucky enough to be working at home or to be working at all) this 30-60-90 degree cradle can make it easier to manage a phone next to a laptop during video conferencing. The double notch allows portrait or landscape orientation and it should be sized to hold your wetsuited phone snug. Flip it over if you'd like a more dramatic view of your nostrils. Made with 5/4 pine but anything thick enough to not tip over will do fine.
Replacement Bed/Mat for IIP

A 10 minute cloth mask (9"x6" starting size)
Submitted by Kate Cebik on Fri, 04/03/2020 - 2:24pmThis is a fast, simple sewn facemask that includes a nose piece. It is designed for use with the 9" x 6" mask kits, but you can also cut material to 9"x6". This pattern also works at 9.5"x7" for a larger mask. I was able to create a mask in about 10 minutes, and that's with some 7th grade home-ec training and a badging on a sewing machine at MakeHaven. This is written by a novice sewist for novices. You can do this!
Shaper Tool ( Hand Held CNC Router )
Submitted by Jay Johnson on Fri, 03/06/2020 - 11:31amAs the Gerber CNC has been in development for over a year and projects larger than the Shapeoko can handle are inaccessible to members at the moment. A handheld CNC would allow a stop-gap to allow the working of much larger projects than can be contained within a table.
Moreover, as it is portable... it could conceivably be used offsite for outreach events and other engagements (provided that event sites have the proper power requirements).
16" Jointer
Submitted by Steelsen Smith on Thu, 03/05/2020 - 4:24pmFrom Slack:
16” plus the infeed/outfeed length is a game changer; being able to joint wide components post glue-up is amazing
The fundraiser is live! MakeHaven will be matching, so we just need to reach $1000.
