I could design a little handout and cut them on demand from 1/4 ply.

@evanfort Terrific! Would you PM me your email address? Gotta organize some of this off-channel as some recruits-to-date donāt check Talk. What did you have in mind for a hand out? Sounds interesting. Weāve got 4 lasers at our disposal for 8 hours. (rubs hands together with glee)
@Team_Laser and fellow laser-trained Makers: So far we have @skwurl, Haley, @grahamb, @aysha, @merissa, Evan and myself for OH. 8 hours, 4 machines. Plenty of room for more Laser-ers. Please PM me your email address if interested.
The Plan:
- Help a sister Committee: make laser-engraved blocks for Printmakingās Laser Block Printing class. A set of 26 initials with a generic background. Blocks are 2" x 3.5" out of 1/4" plywood. Rastered at 300s/10p on Donner or Blitzen.
- Make a take-away: cork coasters. Haley is designing an autumn-themed print. We will need either Ikea placemats or a roll of cork.
- Help @uglyknees: making nametags for chairs/vice chairs. Use the Zing.
The Needs:
- Cleaning: Friday, October 5th at 7pm.
- {Placeholder for Evanās idea.}
- Cork: @merissa - would you reply with that link to the roll cork please?
- Plywood: Need someone to pick up and deliver 1/4" baltic birch ply on day. Might need it cut down. Will know size soon.
- @Mrksls2 - I need to get with you re: type & source of dual layer acrylic, settings and file.
- Acrylic:
Need someone to pick up acrylic.Pick up @Mrksls2ās leftover acrylic. - Magnets for nametags:
Will send a link to our Procurement Officer @talkers.@uglyknees has ordered magnets. - Food & drink: because of course. @Scott_Blevins has vaguely hinted that he might have a brisket in his freezer.

What do I need to do?
Do you want me to design the name tags and the file and all that or do you want to use the āteacherā template that someone had? I have the majority of names ready to go. I can buy whatever we need as well.
Want me to but this? https://www.amazon.com/Set-100-Magnetics-Neodymium-BM-2MAG-1/dp/B00CI9XKVC/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1537884715&sr=8-18&keywords=name+tag+magnet+backs
Iāve sent out an email to the Laser OH Crew.
Mark has extra acrylic, enough, he estimates, for 80 name tags.
Nicole has sent a names file and ordered magnets.
Clean-ers on Friday welcome.
More Laser-ers on Open House day welcome.
Magnets came in last night - they are in the teaching cabinet.
What else do I need to do?
@Mrksls2 put his DMS name tag on the shared drive but I havenāt started that yet.

I am FULLY committed to providing SMOKED BRISKET for the Laser Open House Volunteers on Sat., Oct. 6. Iāll happily feed those who in turn āfeedā Team Laser.
Because brisket is a rather time-intensive and involved process, if anyone wants to bring critically needed bbq accessoriesā¦cheap white bread and tortillas, sliced onion, sliced picklesā¦and any fitting side dish (think beans, coleslaw, potato salad) it would be most appreciated. I will make the sauce.
PLEASE reply to this post if any of you fine folks would be willing to bring a side item! That way I know I wonāt need to procure it at the last minute
I can also come to DMS Friday after work to help clean and prep. the Laser area in preparation for Open House on Saturday.
