  • Thank you Alden.

• When drilling a hole into a long piece of wood, steel, or anything that can wound you: have the long end of the material to your LEFT as you stand at the drill press.
• The chuck spins clockwise when drilling a hole. If the bit gets stuck in your material and the material spins with the bit, it will hit the post holding up the drill press, not your ribs.

“Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Louis Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresea, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.” – H. Jackson Brown Jr.

• You must be checked out on every power tool / machine at the Makerspace prior to using it. Many of the power tools are a member's personal property that they are sharing with the membership.
• Although you may have used a lathe for 20 years, take the time to be trained on the specific lathe at the Space which you want to use. Many times it is the owner of the power tool that will train you.
