TO DO LIST
THINGS YOU CAN BRING THAT WOULD HELP
- “Shoe Box”-style plastic boxes. Nicer ones from Home Depot or even dollar store ones. We're not picky. If we had 20 of these show up, I'm sure we'd find a use for at least 20 more.
9 Volt batteries3.5“ SATA Hard drives or even SSDs. Big enough to host a reasonable Linux install. DBAN or otherwise securely erase them if used, please.Duct Tape- Pie-in-the-sky request: Another nice rolling tool chest like our Craftsman one? If somebody craigslists one for $50 or less, I'll reimburse you (only applicable one time. Include screenshot/printout of ad)
General Space Infrastructure
- General cleanup
- Empty garbage into dumpster (all of the cans, so we can fill them up again)
- Tidy all workbench surfaces
- Shelf organization/labeling
- Keep generally similar things together. If something's in the wrong place, get it to the right (or at least a more correct) place.
- Contain loose things into containers where possible
- LABEL BOXES/CONTAINERS/SHELVES: just use a piece of masking tape & a Sharpie.
- literally work on anything on the fixme list
- Reorganize sign in table so stuff doesn't go flying when the garage door gets opened?
- Use the new Vinyl Cutter to make a magnetic sign for the outside door.
Shop Zone
- Replace the belts on the Shopsmith Mark V.
The Table Saw has broken off of its stand. Repair or do something about it- Maybe build it into a rolling stand with foldable outfeeds? That would be slick…
- Repaired for now. If you have to move it, get a friend's help. DON'T DRAG IT AROUND.
- Drill bit sorting(ok, probably not, but it does drive me crazy)
- Priority: really low, unless it's driving you crazier than me.
- Tool organization
- Rolling carts/stands for some bench tools (Miter saw, especially) - need to keep bench space free for the eventual 4×4 CNC Router.
- Better stand/mount for the Disc Sander?
- Better organization inside the gray bench cabinets in general
- Electrical wiring for the “new” 220V stick welder (convert its plug to a dryer-style plug for the outlet by the garage door?)
- There are plugs in the box of electrical fitting stuff
- Move the yellow folding welding tables up onto the Pallet racks - they're taking up space another tool could use
- Build a nice fence for the Enco Drill Press
- Measure T-slot nuts for the Enco Drill Press. See of additional ones are available, or maybe make some.
- Actually implement dust collection. Do we need parts? Identify them so we can get them.
- Dust collection cart is basically complete. Ports along the benches are started.
- Figure out ID of Wye adapters on hand. Do we have PVC of appropriate OD to fit them? Use ball valves as blast gates? Make blast gates?
- 1 1/2” Schedule 40 pipe (i.e. 1.9“ OD) should work
- Should we get rid of/move aside the Delta dust collector in light of this? It's taking up space and not getting used.
- Moved it over with all the other vacuums
- Move the really big clamps off of the green tool shelf shelves. Either attach a mount to the sides or maybe the wall behind the press.
- Wilton Vise repair
- Figure out the exact model the broken Wilton vise is
- Good News - it's a 535 (I think). Bad News - I can't find an appropriate spindle nut.
- Cast one in epoxy? or just toss the vise out?
Electronics/Digital Zone (general)
- Fastener Organization & labeling
- Install a set of standardized tools onto laptops
- Arduino IDE
- Cura
- SignBlazer Elements (it's effectively free…)
- Pronterface (handy for debugging DIY printers)
- Inkscape (useful for designing stuff for the vinyl cutter)
- Other software?
- Maybe first get all of these installers onto a USB stick, so they can be done all at once.
- Investigate box on the wall where an additional outlet could potentially go.
Computers/Digital Fabrication
- DesignJet needs a new Yellow/Matte Black printhead. (ebay - $23 or b&h for a lot of $$)
- Printhead came in, but now the printer wants to work before actually putting it in?
- Also, this printer really needs a dust cover, since it gets completely clogged up with dust and debris when not in use.
Separate/organize USB cables by type (A/B, Mini, Micro, etc.)- MaxNc Y axis repair- problem with the motor-leadscrew coupling?
Electronics
- Organize components better
- Organize electronics tools better
- Some little plastic bins would be helpful for this (one for solder, one for desoldering tools, etc.)
- This has been started. Need more bins.
- Figure out power supply pinout for prototyping station. Fabricobble a replacement or otherwise find one.
AV Stuff
- Go through pile of donated audio cables w/cable tester and see what's working and what isn't
- Make repairs to cables that don't work, or make list of needed connectors if parts aren't available.
- Figure out condition of donated microphones - parts needed? parts available?
The Website
- Want to design a website? Have I got a job for you…
This Wiki
- Update entries that need updating
- Delete entries that need to be deleted
- Add entries that need to be added (use the Tool Submission Form for Equipment)
- Add photos to Equipment entries? (Good for a first timer!)
- Add/Update instructions for Equipment entries
Miscellaneous
- Inventory First Aid supplies. Make list of recommended additions and/or replacements for anything missing.
Long Term/Not any time soon
- More/better shelving?
- More improved use of vertical space? (not sure how to accomplish this without stairs/ladders)
- Any new shelving project should have a budget, rough drawing, and an explanation of where it will go…
- Move the big refrigerator over by the big table/robot?
- Gets it out of the painting guy's way, keeps it out of our way, and we can offer its use up to MOOS as well.
- Thinking this over again, this may really limit us electrically (I suspect all the outlets along the wall might be on the same circuit…)
- Build a wheeled cart for the Casting Furnace?
- We'd need cast iron/steel casters. We should have sufficient steel tubing?
- Priority: low, needs good weather (due to welding) or done offsite.
