Hi everyone! New member here. Sorry in advance if the following questions and/or suggestions are old hat by now.
Ive been using the wood shop for a couple weeks now and I’ve noticed its not very tidy generally speaking. I was thinking a voluntary clean up time once a week might be an idea to keep it more organized? Or we could schedule just one to happen soon and we can try to upkeep it. Having sharpie lines on the wall outlining the tool that lives there is a pretty good system we could implement (obviously I volunteer myself to help with any of this). If there already is a clean up schedule let me know! Im there.
The next thing I wanted to bring up is the table saw. I have seen people do some insane/life threatening things while I’ve been in there- cross cutting free hand with no sled, not holding the wood down all the way thru the cut, ripping rough lumber thats isn’t flat or straight, etc. Not sure the solution there, just making it known because I don’t want anyone to get hurt. I think maybe some people are using the room without having taken the training, or maybe they’ve forgotten things.
Anyway, Ive really been enjoying the space and getting to know everyone! Hope this message isn’t taken as a complaint, because Im really grateful to the dms:)
