Agenda for 12-20-2016
Chair: Charlie Rysenga
Approving agenda
Motion to approve agenda by Charlie Second by Matt Carpenter and another person who I did not see but spoke with a deep male voice
Introductions
Experienced Members
- Charlie went first. He likes to blink things and burn things with lasers.
- Kevin likes to paint. He got dragged into caring for the craft room and all that entails.
- James has been a member for a little while, likes to play with the big CNC machine, preferably jumprope or cats cradle.
New Members & Guests
- Brian Peplinski is a new person. He likes to make costumes and props.
- Nathan is fairly new. He is making christamsy things and likes to make things for kids. Joined to make things for a playroom.
- Erica just moved here and is a new person. Wants to meet people.
- Alex says hello. He is not a member and likes to woodwork. He is likely the unknown person who seconded the motion above.
Show and Tell
- Matt walked out. Oops.
- Kevin is embroidering a scarf. Charlie is now wearing the scarf. He looks magnificent. It is satin. He looks like a pastor.
- Brian has the beginning of a foam helmet for a Gundam suit.
- Nathan is making picture frames on the laser cutter, as well as ornaments. Is prototyping them out of cardboard. Had to make 1800 of the cardboard ornaments. Is making a mirror for his sister.
- Charlie feels inadequate.
Old Business
- NONE
New Business
Charlie lost his train of thought and should read the minutes.
Announcements
Letterpress
- We had a few members learn to print during the Holiday letterpress party. Photos of some of the finished prints, including "made at i3" gift tags, are on Facebook. (Thanks, Jan!)
- Open-house style seems to work pretty well for internal classes/training. Next one may be Valentines again in late Jan/early February.
- In the late spring, we could organize a public-facing make-and-take class that consists of both sandblasting designs onto glassware and printing coordinating drink coasters. Any volunteers to assist?
- Ashley needs to get laser trained for image transfer to linoleum blocks, which should make it more accessible to people not interested in hand-carving.
- Next tasks: update wiki with operational details and guidance, figure out solvent rag disposal process.
- Should have put this in budget request, but upon reflection from Sunday's event... we could REALLY use a heavy-duty (bulk) paper cutter/guillotine.
- Kevin is asking about a guillotine. Morbid. Bezanson has a guillotine cutter he would like to give to the space.
Sandblasting Class
Compute Zone/Media Lab
- New Years Eve party. Apocalypse theme, bring food, booze. Music and games will be provided. Come here, come all.
