Collaboration possibilities

Do-something days

There were up to 7 members at a time tackling issues during the night from October 13th to 14th, here are some things we got done:

  • hung some boxes by the scroll saw and sorted dowel pegs in there (excess put into the storage room)
  • fixed some clamps that could come apart by riveting their ends, put some with missing handles by the wood lathe [issue #76]
  • mounted the new projector to the ceiling of the common room [issue #72]
  • used screws or other simple methods to hang various hand tools on the workshop wall boards
  • tried a high-power LiPO battery for the DeWalt cordless drill - works great, now we can continue with the charger etc! [issue #12]
  • added tons of equipment photos to the wiki, also some GIFs coming soon (for more "wanted" photos, see the README of our issue tracker!)
  • tried to improve to common room lamp situation - result after long hours on the ladder: three fixtures with broken capacitors taken down for repair, another broken one still at the ceiling [issue #60]

Cleaning Saturday

Keep it open for everyone, together it is more fun and much faster.
