Oh my goodness!! Yes we are interested. What we will do is see if it’s used and if so talk about buying a more “substantial” one. Thank you so very much!! It will be a great addition to the offerings of this most diverse room.

Have you been to Clampett Paper’s “sample room”? They have several types of binding equipment there - and I am sure they wouldn’t mind binding something for you as a one time gig (If you like I can call and ask) - they have three full timers staff the sample room
Some of the gear there is even older than me !
For those interested in paper there are over 3000 examples - plus they offer a “paper school” that is free.

I gotta get over to that place. I don’t really have anything to bind. I just felt it could be a good universal tool for members to have access to. I’m not exactly sure how many people will use it but we will give it a go and see how it rolls. Everyone is so nice.
Ps Ayden lost a tooth this morning!

Just in time for summer. He will be squirting his friends in the pool with his new found super power.

Clampitt paper is definitely worth a visit for those interested in paper. The sample room has a bunch of different examples about how paper products are used.
I took their free “Paper University” (a one day course) about a decade ago and they really went deep into the uses of paper for printing and display.

I took their Paper School last Feb - pretty interesting and a tour of the Dallas plant. I had my sales rep invite PandaBob and his wife as well. It was a good experience and the catered lunch was great.

This morning I dropped by and donated the spiral wrap punch and binding machine. Along with it came a nice assortment of plastic spiral binders in several sizes, booklet covers, and booklet tabs. You are now in business to create some professional brochures. Enjoy.

I saw the binding machine in CA tonight and the pile of combs and cover paper you donated. That was wonderfully gereous of you and I’m sure it will come to great use! I’m seeing a Makers of DMS calendar in the future somewhere…we have the blue screen background wall, lighting, cameras, photo printers and now the binding equipment! Let the model search begin!!!

Do you know where to get the plastic spines for this machine? I have a ~120 page document I’d like to bind.
Most Office Supply stores have these plastic splines. Also, check the CA Room because I gave them a bunch of these splines of various sizes.

Richard, this worked great! I’ll put a $20 in the CA tip jar for some larger splines (largest one was approx 7/8" which worked for the # of pages I had). Perhaps we can get an assortment of sizes 1" and larger?
Good call. I will look into it.
I find this request odd, as I find it easier to simply search for “papal” when you want to use payal for any of the established donation points. It returns the Fund QR Codes wiki page, and they’re all right there.
Nevertheless, I went ahead and added the URLs as well as the QR codes for the CA fund, the Vinyl Cutter fund, and the wide-format printer fund to the CA wiki entry under a Donating Funds header.
The wide format printer fund APPEARS to go to Steve Reeves ( @pandabob ). I’m not sure if that is still as intended, but I left it this way, as that is how it appears in the Fund QR Codes wiki page.

How is this odd? If you want to donate to the 3d fab -dismember- (damn you autocorrect) filament fund, do you go to the commons area at DMS?
This was not obvious; I went to the committee page and expected a link. I didn’t expect all donation links to be on one page.

It is if you are looking for “paypal”.
Meh. Just different ways of arriving. Sometimes the train beats the bus. Sometimes the bus beats the train.
Anyway, they’re done this way with the intention of making it easy for printing and hanging, poster style. They were never intended to be used in the fashion you invoked. I can see your logic; it just seems odd, since NONE of the committee pages have that info, as far as I know. Except CA, now. Probably should do the others, too, since I’m sure you’re not the only person thinking it. Project for another time…
