Hi - This is the thread I was referring to in the committee meeting yesterday. Root thread goes back to mid 2018.
I’d like to suggest we choose another bright visible color for tool marking and have this changed - I doubt my ability to mix and color match 'Powermatic" yellow.
We could have a gallon or so mixed to match and store it in the cabinet. Let me know what you think?
As we all know, at least those that have been here for a least a week, the Space is either haunted and poltergeists move and hide our tools, or we are at some magic crossing point for ley-lines where tools sprout legs and wings and move about and hide themselves throughout the Space. It couldn’t be because someone didn’t put it back.

What colors are the other committees laying claim to? Let me know and send a picture of the color. I’ll send out to all committee chairs so we are in agreement then I’ll compile a chart, laminate them and post around the Space. This way, they wayward tools may better make their way home.
Engraving is also a good way but color can be seen from a distance.
Thanks
