The vinyl cutter and screen press are still self funding tools regardless of committee sponsorship.[/quote]
Grand-fathered in, because you are a founding member, and you set up a mechanism by which those tools can be self-funded. However, my understanding is that the Board doesn’t want any more orphaned tools; they want all tools to have a sponsoring committee.
I’m curious if anyone has set up a funding mechanism and repair oversight for the vacuformer in the absence of a committee? I’m not aware of any.

Its not a personal project requiring sponsorship like the freeze dryer.[/quote]
The vacuum freeze-dryer is not a personal project, as it isn’t a project, at all. It’s another tool that happens to be owned by a member and on loan to the Space.
It’s three-phase, instead of one-phase, but Stan is working on that. It can be made compatible.
