Line 23: + + − The new cage will be centrally located between Wood Shop and Cold Metals in space currently taken up by three large metal shelve units. It is going to measure seven feet wide and extend twelve feet out from the wall occupying eighty-four square feet of floor space. The current cage is approximately forty-eight to fifty square feet, and the large metal shelves, thirty-six square feet. This adds up to eighty-four to eighty-six square feet; therefore, no net loss in floor space by replacing the old cage and shelves with this new cage. + + + +

Therefore, no net loss in floor space by replacing the old cage and shelves with this new cage.
We are going to use one inch square steel tubing to build shelf frames six feet high; the shelves, half inch sanded plywood four feet wide and eighteen inches deep. The walls of the cage are going to consist of three eight foot high by four foot wide half inch plywood bolted to three shelf units lined up and bolted to the floor. A four foot wide aisle, running between the two sets of shelves, will provide enough room to move heavier equipment, such as the kiln, in and out of the cage,

The build is going to be done in two phases. We construct three of the proposed six shelves and swap them with the large shelves; then fill the new shelves with the stock in the current cage. Staggering the build gives wood shop and machine shop the opportunity to move equipment to accommodate the full cage.

The initial estimate cost for the materials is $750 for 520' of steel tubing and $300 for twelve sheets of eight' by four' half inch plywood. Additional money is needed for delivery costs and to buy saw blades and welding consumables. Any money left after the cage is complete can go towards the purchase of additional part bins, tool chests or other enhancements that would be useful.
