Language of the Vote

This is a proposal to purchase an English Wheel, to be stored in the Cold Metals area until the area move takes place, at which point its placement shall be reevaluated as the membership sees fit. Sam Abrahamson shall donate 50% of the cost of the machine, and Pumping Station: One shall cover the remaining 50%.

The English Wheel shall require an authorization to use due to the moderate risk of pinch points. Sam Abrahamson shall be the first authorizer and additional authorizers shall be added on a volunteer basis.

The English Wheel model proposed for purchase is the Kaka Industrial F1.2X710 28-Inch Throat English Wheel, priced between $580 and $800 depending on the retailer, not including tax or shipping estimations. The model may be subject to change following discussion by the membership.
