Helpful Hint
For a long, happy, healthy membership at the Makerspace: be sure to NEVER use the craft lab scissors outside of the craft lab.
Seriously, these fine cutting tools should only be used where appropriate (e.g. cutting fabric)
If you have questions, ask Kathy H or Karen P.
When it comes to the craft lab scissors it is NOT better to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission.
Topics
Safety Note
Rule and Regulation of the Week
A section from the New Member Pamphlet (on the WIKI): Donations go to the hack-rack, but remember the rule is if you donate something to the hack-rack you must take something away of equal volume. If its something larger or you don't want to take anything from the hack-rack you should post to the public message board first before donating. Only donate if you can find a person interested in the donation.
As the Woodshop Champion wrote on the woodshop door white board: a hack rack is not a dumpster.
