Minutes

Ed asks for time to speak about his initiative to buy two new tools, the lathe he and anna will buy, the mill will be bought with donations- the bridgeport vertical mill, and a metal lathe- ed and anna are going to buy both of them, Z wants the milling machine to be a space project, talked to mike who thought the lathe was a great idea but space needs to be moved around. we do not have the capability to make precision metal projects currently and this initiative will solve that problem.
