Wish List

There is interest in learning the fascinating traditional joinery used by Japanese woodworkers.
This could be a beginner & an advanced level presentation. Both hands on.

I love the view of the rocks out the windows, and noticed some have plants growing. What if we expand that and create a green growing wall. Ideally one of the windows could be converted to an access door.

Our Tormach is decent, but not great. The Tormach 1100mx, a Haas, or something similar would be a huge improvement.

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).

As you come down the stairs the floor looks pretty bad. It would be cool if there was some painted maker themed crest painted.

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.

Why we do not have Adobe: A license is $330.00 per machine/ per year. If we install on the 4 computers plus 2 of the laser cutters that is $2,000 per year for the software.

Wouldn't you love to be able to carve a spoon on a lazy Sunday morning on your porch? Or whittle a walking stick by the campfire? If MakeHaven had a set of simple hand carving tools in the lending library you could!

To start out with, we could just get a simple pair of a knife and a hook knife. That'd be enough for spoon carving and some simple whittling.

Analog photography is totally rad and magical! Watching a print develop before your eyes never gets old. Let's have a space in Makehaven that affords members the ability to process their own black and white or color film and make prints using real photographic chemistry!

Hand planes are intimidating to work with if one doesn't know how. I own a few and never know if I have it set up properly or not. People can bring their own planes and use the Tormek to sharpen their blades.

There are so many random tutorials out there for it, but in the end, they are not cohesive - from beginning to the point where it is useful for working with on our CNC machines. It would just be great to have someone to make the process more clear.

Used with wood turning lathe for coring multiple bowls from larger wood blanks. Safe, effective way to maximize full potential of lathes capabilities.
A 9 inch and 11.5 or 13 inch knife would allow three bowls to be cut from one blank.

Sometimes the 3D printers are all busy, and other times they are all free. Sometimes they appear to be busy, but will all be done printing in ten minutes. It would be nice to be able to track the progress of prints across the entire farm using something like OctoFarm or similar.

Creates channels, ridges, and flanges to stiffen and minimize vibration in sheet metal parts or even just to decorate them---think truck bed floors and auto body panels. Stiffening allows for thinner gauges to be used and cheaper lighter sheet metal parts to be made.

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.

As 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.

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.

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.

I have an idea for MakeHaven

Install two conduits along side of the building near the windows near the laser cutters going straight up to the roof level… one conduit for ac Power 220vac two phase. 50 Amp service. The second conduit, much larger and wider for all kinds of other cables….

VCarve and OMAX are both platform-specific software with their own set of idiosyncrasies and payment packages. Fusion360 is ostensibly free and can design for most of the machines in the space - but there is a lack of in-depth training available. Why not see if an adept member can volunteer some time for a class?
