New Equipment for Space: A separate cooler for TIG and Forge and Carts 
|
We can easily make carts for the TIG and Forge, but each one needs different things and shouldn't really be right next to each other. Having a single cooler isn't really great for the hot work space, and a second cooler would mean we could just make custom carts for all of their related stuff and allow them to be positioned for working. Cost: $500.00 |

Space Infrastructure: Sewing room with one or two newer sewing machines |
The space & especially the equipment would benefit of having their own space. This will make sure the machines are kept clean & working properly for years to come. Also fabrics will stay cleaner & free of allergens. Upgraded sewing machines would also benefit the space because they are more versatile. Cost: unknown |

New Equipment for Space: New easier to use Brewing System 
|
Our current brewing system is.... quirky. Liam and I are able to get good beer out of it but it's hard to clean, and hard to learn. A new all in one brewing system is relatively inexpensive and should be able to make batches quicker and with less to learn. Cost: $2,150.00 |

New Equipment for Space: Tube Notching Machine 
|
In order for two tubes of metal to be welded together successfully, one needs to have a precise hole cut in it. This machine does that. Bicycles, geodesic dome structures, roll-cages, and aircraft frames all require tubes to securely fastened at irregular angles. Cost: $3,595.00 |

Not Right Now - The answer is "no" but we may reassess in the future.
Research Required- Maybe, lets look into it and understand more.
Planned - We intend to make it happen but may be lower priority or waiting on funding.
In Development - We are actively working to make it happen right now.
Implemented - It or similar has happened, fully or in significant part.

Spiral mixers are efficient and effective dough mixers. They differ from the planetary (or KitchenAid) style in two very important ways. First, there is an agitator arm in the center of the bowl that prevents the dough "riding" up the hook, getting stuck, forcing you to stop the machine and slide it back down. Cost: $1,500.00 |

That'd be enough for spoon carving and some simple whittling. Cost: $100.00 |

Our current brewing system is.... quirky. Liam and I are able to get good beer out of it but it's hard to clean, and hard to learn. A new all in one brewing system is relatively inexpensive and should be able to make batches quicker and with less to learn. Cost: $2,150.00 |

New Equipment for Space: A separate cooler for TIG and Forge and Carts
|
We can easily make carts for the TIG and Forge, but each one needs different things and shouldn't really be right next to each other. Having a single cooler isn't really great for the hot work space, and a second cooler would mean we could just make custom carts for all of their related stuff and allow them to be positioned for working.

New Equipment for Space: Tungsten Grinder for TIG Electrodes

When you're TIG welding it's usually important to have a sharp and clean tip on your tungsten electrode. To keep from getting contaminated welds from grinding on a grinding stone used for other things, it's best to use a specific grinding wheel for welding tungstens. It's also helpful to have a jig for getting the right angle. Cost: $120.00 |
