Update 7/30/14

Thank you everyone who participated in this weeks fastener cabinet discussion, and the beginning of the What to Stock discussion. I get the feeling that we will have a much smaller space requirement for storing what we need and keeping that stocked after we jettison some of the things we have.

I plan on putting the fasteners we are weeding out into Limbo in case someone has a need for a project at home.

PLEASE don't put them back!

Rules

Please put equipment back where it came from.

Please suggest any new needed tools. Tool Crib Wishlist

If a tool is worn out or broken, please let the Area Host know as soon as possible, and put the broken tool into the "Broken Tool Bucket"

Safety

Please use tools appropriately. We have hammers for hammering!

Safety equipment such as goggles and hearing protection are available and highly recommended.

Tools Available

I am currently working on coming up with an updated list of what tools we have, and what we need to get to order to fill out our basic tools.

I have created a set of Categories below that I will be using to group things together. That will define our current tool "footprint" and more detailed inventory will show how complete we are.

If there is something missing, please let me know!

Categories of tools:

Corded Tools
Cordless Tools
Woodworking Tools
Metalworking Tools
Screwdrivers
Wrenches
Sockets
Hammers
Saws and Cutting Tools
Pneumatic Tools
Extension Cords

Consumables:

Sandpaper
Nuts, bolts and washers
Screws and fasteners
Tape
Glue

Other:

Safety Equipment
Plumbing Tools
Electrical Tools
Painting
Workbench & Saw Horses
Lighting

Next Steps for the Tool Crib

Organize what we have
- Allocation of existing pegboard to large items
- Consolidation of Screws, Nuts, Bolts, etc.
- Create a Map of what is where and publish
Finish initial inventory
Begin purchasing of needed tools and supplies
