Helpful Hint
- This week's Helpful Hint is from a number of active members:
- Screws were invented by the Greeks in the 3rd century BC. And they still frustrate us
- If the hole you are putting a screw back into to, is too large:
- Carl S says to cut off a zip tie and stick it in the hole, then cut any zip tie hanging out after you put in the screw
- Rick the Handsome Landscaper suggests rolling up a piece of paper and putting it in the hole. To quote Rick “you always have paper”.
- Bob R suggests putting a toothpick in the hole.
- Additional screw tips:
- Need to get the screw to go in easier: put soap on the threads
- Need a screw to never come out: put glue on the threads
Topics
- Maker Fair scheduled for September 24-26. The MMS level of involvement is TBD. Fair being hosted by MSOE
- CALL TO MEMBERS: A link has been shared with members if you would like to display a project or sell your wares at the Faire,
- Please sign up to volunteer! Members also received that link.

- Thursday, August 19th: Board of Directors meeting will be held at 7 PM at our Lenox building. All MMS members are invited to participate.
Safety Note
- This safety note is from Bob R: wear shoes in the shop. Steel toed shoes are even better. To quote Bob “I have seen some nasty injuries on the shop floor where I worked when something gets dropped”.
Rule and Regulation of the Week
- Tools at the space were donated or are someone's personal property. Use with care; as if it is your own.
