== Update 6/25/14 Beginning the week after the 4th of July I will begin consolidating/organizing our collection of fasteners into the plastic bins located between the Epilog computer and the Flammables cabinet.

This will be a temporary place for them in order to figure out what we have and what we need. Currently it is spread out in at least 3 places.

From there we can decide on what the best storage option for fasteners will be.

Please send me any ideas you have or solutions you have seen.

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!

  • Power Tools (drills, etc.)
  • Screwdrivers
  • Wrenches

  • Hammers
  • Saws and Cutting Tools
  • Compressor and Air Tools

Consumables:

  • Sandpaper
  • Nuts, bolts and washers
  • Screws and fasteners
  • Tape
  • Glue

Other:

  • Storage and Organization
  • Safety Equipment
  • Woodworking Tools
  • Metalworking Tools
  • Plumbing Tools
  • Electrical Tools
  • Painting
  • Workbench & Saw Horses

Next Steps for the Tool Crib

  • Organize what we have
    • Sort through the Great-Pile-O-Drills
    • Organized storage for safety eqiupment
    • Tote or Tool boxes to organized groups of tools for use
    • Allocation of existing pegboard to large items
    • Consolidation of Screws, Nuts, Bolts, etc.
