Seriously, communism? You might want to go lookup the definition of that word before you start trying to use it. Maybe, just maybe if you stopped acting like a consumer and started acting like a member you would be better informed, not wonder what happened to things and not always jumping to the insanity based conclusions. The DMS woodshop does not exist for Chris Fazio’s enjoyment and pleasure. It exists for all. It further exists because a few volunteer to keep it going.
If someone took something from the 'Space, and then another member files a complaint with the BoD, and then if there is enough clear and convincing evidence such that 3 of 5 directors agree that actual theft occurred, then in all likelihood the warm and friendly and comforting fist of Communism will almost certainly descend with a loud crunch, just like always.

As far as I am aware there is 1 Japanese saw in the cabinet, no replacements.
There is 1 saw out currently for use.
There is already a plan in place to move the locked saw into use, it’s just going to take some time to develop that solution.

Yea exactly, nobody seems inclined to check cameras, just more of a ehh it might have happened, cause 1 these were not dull bits, these were not old bits, these were not bits with burn marks or anything but flawless bearing, no Nicks no dings in the cutting edge, the powder coat perfectly intact, so these weren’t just “tossed out cause they were old” wherever they went was on purpose with whoever full and well knowing the significance of the bits and the quality of the bits but still it’s just ehh we tossed em,
And hey Freddy, I have literally fully dusted and cleaned the shop before i left EVERY SINGLE time I’ve been there since we re opened from covid, and I’m guess you cant say the same can you! Every single time I’ve been there before I’ve left I’ve taken the air hose blown all of the dust on all the machines and dust mopped the whole entire shop, every single time I’ve been there! But I feel you “volunteering” is a little less thorough that what you claim to be my i dont give a f about the shop level I’m of input! So
That sure is a big decline from when a bod memeber posted when he inventoried last time I had this point brought up
This post by the BoD member from the Last time you brought up the supposed tool hoard and it was found to all be reasonable to store or out and available to use?
After looking through the cabinet there’s a half dozen Japanese saws. The only other tools that are in here are class specific, for maintenance, or there are replacements for tools that are already out.
As stated earlier, there’s an action plan already in place to move the “fine woodworking” tools, like the pull saws, into a centralized location out of the locked cabinet and their other various locations. This will take a few months but is already under way.

Every single thread you start goes from complaints and accusations to you bringinf up again that you are so generous because you sweep, maybe throw in an offer to do something already done or not needing to be done. Can you find a new pattern to try and accuse and bring down the woodshop?

You mean like maintain machines I see that are broken? Oh wait I already do that, so help maintain the tools, check clean the shop, check anytime I see someone who looks like they don’t know what they’re doing I never mind taking my time to show them or give advice or help, check! What else would you like me to do? Seriously I want a very specific list of what else you think I could do, seriously make a list. Cause I’m assuming it’s not gonna be a long cause I’m already doing most of what you claim I’m not
You know, you probably shouldn’t do this. That’s how dust explosions happen.
Kudos for you cleaning up.

Well good for you for helping keep the shop clean and running, thanks. Thanks to everyone else that also does the thankless work. Maybe the adjustment that needs to be made is to not accuse everyone for theft, miss management or intentional whatever communist plot, etc.
If you need a professionally maintained fully stocked, everything working and tuned to the nth degree, you will always be disappointed at DMS. But for $50-$60/month it is pretty damn good for me. You probably do not remember when we had one jigsaw and one screw driver.
Most committees at DMS are run as best efforts by well intentioned people.

And then someone used the jigsaw to cut the screwdriver in half as a hack because they needed just an inanimate metal rod to use as an award.
So then we just had a jigsaw.

They then sharpened the screwdriver on the concrete floor in the warehouse to make an ice pick.

If you have a good idea of when they disappeared, you could pass that on to the folks who can do so. “Sometime in the last 3 months” probably won’t get anyone too excited about reviewing the DVR, though.

WHAT!! A constructive suggestion/approach, instead of just a bunch of self-serving whinging!? What the…
Step into my office and shut the door, please.

@Team_Moderators please close this thread. This is becoming a finger pointing session and is unnecessary.
As stated above, I have the missing router bits and if anyone wants to pull some bits out of that pile and put them back into circulation they can message me and we will get it taken care of.
Thanks.

There was a comment further up about how people could chip in on some good bits and share them, if only there were a way.
Personal storage bins in the galley
Plus something like this https://www.amazon.com/Jssmst-Large-Cash-Combination-Lock/dp/B07ZR4GRQY
Y’all share the combination amongst yourselves and rotate the bin the box is stored in
Doesn’t seem that hard.
