This safety note is from Mike T (aka Sparky)
- Wear eye protection in the shop areas and when working on projects. Mike was removing nails from boards for reuse. His safety glasses prevented a serious eye injury as they blocked a flying nail.

From the Shop Rules and Safety section of the member handbook:
- You must be checked out on every power tool / machine at the Makerspace prior to using it. To be checked out on a machine, see an area trainer, the area champion, or the owner of the machine. One of these members must train you on the equipment before you can use it.
- There are NO exceptions. Just because you used a lathe, doesn't mean you know how to use a specific lathe at the Space.

Carl S: FUSION 360 classes are now held at NORWICH (moving from Lenox) at 7 PM. Classes can be attended in person, or virtually (Carl will send you the link). Thank you Carl.
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY:

No heavy equipment in the newly paved parking lot for the next few months as the asphalt hardens. Pls reach out to Tom G, Dan J, Jake B or Rudy if you need to use a fork lift outside the building to load/unload. Do NOT attempt to use the fork lift outside the Norwich building.
