A dull tool can be worthless.
This could be split into a number of sessions:
Knife, chisel, plane iron type.
"Garden" type .. shovels, axes & hatchets, hoes .. etc
A tool handle making, replacing session for any of the above.

For use with sheet metal an wire. It is different than the shear/brake/roll, in that it uses a gear reduction system to multiply the force on the metal. It is used to compress the metal, giving the user the ability to flatten sheet metal, change it’s gauge, forge it, etc. It is an incredibly useful tool for metal sculpture and jewelry making.

In the sewing section, we would like equipment that allows us to insert grommets into clothing. Grommets are small metal rings that can be used for different types of garment construction, such as lacing. Please make our wishes come true! *cute emoji*

We do not have a food scale in the kitchen area. This would be quite useful for weighing green coffee beans for the Behmor roaster as well as general kitchen use for cooking by weight instead of volume. Could be used for meats, spices, flour, etc. I have had a very positive experience with the Decent Simple Scale.

Buying in bulk can save money, but how do you divide up large portions so they don't go bad before you can use them? A food vacuum sealer!! It will also complement the Sous Vide machine for marinading things like meat, fish or tofu before cooking!

Now that we have the Behmor coffee roaster, the next step to having fresh, delicious, high quality coffee is a grinder capable of consistently producing uniform coffee grounds. The Baratza Encore won't break the bank and is occasionally available for refurbished pricing.

Many people need to get things to and from MakeHaven but often don't have a large car, or only bike. A pickup truck could be used by staff and members to get lumber, transport large scrap and pickup equipment. Ideally this truck would be kept in the parking garage next to MakeHaven.

I think it would open a lot of possibilities if we added castable wax resin to our FormLabs 3B supplies. For example, as a jeweler I do a lot of initial design work with 3D modeling and lost-wax casting. Make Haven doesn't have metal casting equipment, but there are lots of outside casting facilities that will accept shipped models.

These are often rented by the hour at some facilities as they are cumbersome to keep in one's home due to the size and they're also pretty pricey. For the quilting community, it would be a real asset! "

It would be great to have a larger laser, a more powerful laser, and a fiber laser (which can mark metal). This laser is expensive, but it checks all of those boxes: The Epilog FusionPro 48 Dual (120W CO2/50W Fiber).

Very useful for finishing dado or sliding dovetail joints. Veritas has a nice model, very easy to sharpen (https://www.leevalley.com/en-us/shop/tools/hand-tools/planes/router/5260...) but a used Stanley 71 can probably work as well.
