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.

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.

Would 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.

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.

Sometimes when I want to head over and use a machine that requires a buddy, I show up and no one is in the space. It would be nice to be able to check in quickly and save myself a potential drive.

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.

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!

Ever have the hunkering to make a large batch of tortillas?? How about homemade croissants? Roll out some pizza dough? We have a pasta roller, but the limited width makes it hard to do large batches or laminated dough. There are some nice tabletop 19" versions on etsy! Or some ambitious person could make one??!?

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….

The woodshop and metalshop can be quite loud, even when wearing proper hearing protection. Sound-absorbing panels will reduce the noise level. More research needed to determine the best placement (closest to which equipment, walls vs. ceilings, etc), panel type (foam, cotton, fabric stretched over wood frames, etc), aesthetics, and cost.

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).

I'd like to propose a few more workshop/classes on some of the textile tools available at the space. The rug tufting class has to be one of the most successful operations at MakeHaven - why not have some special training available for CNC Embroidery and the knitting machine?

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?

Used with wood turning lathe for coring multiple bowls from larger wood blanks. Safe, effective way to maximize full potential of lathes capabilities.

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.

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.

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.

If we had 2x Form Wash units, we would go through much less IPA. The 1st would be a pre-wash, to get off most of the residue, and the 2nd would be the final wash. The 1st could get really dirty before needing replacement, and the 2nd would stay clean for a long time. https://formlabs.com/store/post-processing/form-wash
