Things we'd love to have. Care to [[Donate]] something to us?

Basic guidelines:
  * If it's bigger than a desktop PC, ask first. Space is limited.
  * We don't want anything from the [[Do Not Want List]].
  * NO CRT MONITORS. PERIOD. 
  * We have more little DC & stepper motors than we know what to do with. We don't have room for your non-functional inkjet printer.

Big items:
  *Laser Cutter/Engraver (we have one now, but the more the merrier...)
  *Rolling Tool Chests 
  *Manual Mill (benchtop preferable to floor-standing at the moment)
  *Metal Lathe larger than the [[Taig Micro Lathe]] we have now.
  ***Modern** computers (nothing older than three years, please)
    * Linux & WebGL-compatible video cards **Highly Preferred**
  *Standalone belt sander or Belt/Disc Sander combo
  *Plasma cutter
  *MIG Welder
  *TIG Welder
  *Sheet Metal Brake/Bender
  
Smaller Items:
  *USB Microscope
  *[[Cordless Tools & Batteries]] - preferably systems we already have if it's Ni-Cd, but Ryobi 18V would be pretty cool as well, given it's multi-chemistry and supported for the last 20 years or so...
  *A decent modern corded drill 
  *A laser printer in good working condition.
  *1/4" and 1/8" shank endmills. Any cutting shape/size.
  *Tool bits in general (dremel, 1/4" lathe bits for the Taig, drills, etc.)
  *Angle Grinders (we have two on hand, more would be nice)
  *angle grinder discs (4-1/2")- any kind
  *Die Grinder, or any other [[Air Tools]] we don't already have.
  *Hot plate suitable for reflow soldering?
