Lathe salt/pepper class: need access to sign up

Woodshop
1

Hi,

I am looking to get access to this class for myself and my friend for 1/21/2025: Events |Dallas Makerspace Calendar

We are both DMS members, and are taking the Wood Lathe 101 - Lathe Safety and Orientation on 1/14/2025. Would it be possible for both of us to register for the salt & pepper shaker class if we will have taken the orientation beforehand?

In general, is there a way for the system to know if you’ve signed up for a prereq that takes place beforehand?

Thanks!

Login to whoami.dallasmakerspace.org which will show your “assigned groups” (authorizations.)

The automated system will not let you sign up for a class for which you have not actually net the prerequisites. Haveing signed up for the prereq is not enough. Contact the instructor to see what they are willing to do.

Also: you don’t have access to member-only categories because Talk doesn’t recognize you as a member.

To get access you should use the member profiles system. Dallas Makerspace members (primary or family/add-on) in good standing may request access to Members Only categories (e.g. Issues & Requests ) by following the instructions here:

Classes are not guaranteed to grant you permission. Not that it happens often, but it is possible to not get approval/sign off from the class if you fool around/ don’t actually prove you paid attention.

Also because all teachers are volunteers and sometimes classes do have to get canceled last minute for medical, tools down, etc…

So the calendar only cares about what you currently actively have applied to your account and not future classes or pending permissions. (And there’s no easy way for us to allow the calendar to do this)
