<div>== The Cutting Table ==<br />
<br />
The cutting table lives under the shelving next to lovelace and babbage.<br />
<br />
It has a lid. <br />
[[File:cuttingtable-lid.jpg|200px|thumb|center]]<br />
<br />
'''When the lid is on, the cutting table may be used like any other table. Please try to keep as clear as the other tables. '''<br />
<br />
'''If it is not being used for cutting, the lid should be on top of the table.'''<br />
<br />
[[File:cuttingtable-open.jpg|200px|thumb|center]]<br />
<br />
The cutting surface is lined with cork. Cork is expensive and tricky to replace. It is also flammable and susceptible to water damage. Therefore the cork is covered with kraft paper. When this gets too dirty or torn, it should be replaced.<br />
<br />
To replace it, either turn the paper upside down so the cutting surface falls out of the frame, or lever it out (use the wrong end of a fork or a butter knife blade.) Remove old paper and rewrap tightly in fresh paper, using drawing pins or masking tape to secure it in place. Reseat the cutting surface in the frame.<br />
<br />
[[File:cuttingtable-covered.jpg|200px|thumb|center]]<br />
<br />
'''When the lid is off, the cutting table is for cutting out fabric with scissors or shears. '''<br />
<br />
'''It is not for cutting with rotary cutter knives or razor blades or hatchets or lasers. There is a green mat for that.'''<br />
<br />
'''NO FOOD or DRINK is allowed on the table in this state.'''<br />
<br />
'''DO NOT put HOT THINGS on it in this state.'''<br />

<br />
Fabric and pattern pieces may be pinned into place with long sewing pins or thumb tacks (drawing pins) or marking pins. Bear in mind that the cork is 2mm thick; after that you are pushing into denser Sundeala. It may be difficult to remove thumb tacks.<br />
<br />
Another technique is to use weights -- large washers or map weights or particularly somnolescent felines -- to keep the pattern pieces and fabric from shifting.<br />
<br />
[[File:cuttingtable-scissors.jpg|200px|thumb|center]]<br />
<br />
Choice of scissors is up to the user. Please remember that pointy scissors (such as those pictured above left and center may dig into the cork and damage it.) Most appropriate are angled tailor's shears as on the right.<br />
<br />
When you are done cutting, please remove all fabric, pattern pieces, pins and other tools, and replace the lid.<br />
<br />
There is a shallow well at one end that will hold small items (Tailor's chalk, pins, shears and the like) with out fear of knocking them off the top while the table is in use. It may be large enough to place a standard sewing machine in.<br />
<br />
There is a rumor of Hackspace-owned tailor's shears. If these turn out to exist, they could live permanently in the well.</div>Wrenhttps://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/w/index.php?title=Equipment/Cutting_Table&diff=24348Equipment/Cutting Table2012-08-21T11:51:54Z<p>Wren: </p>

<br />
DO NOT put HOT THINGS on it in this state.<br />
<br />
(insert picture of the open cutting table in use.)<br />
<br />
Fabric and pattern pieces may be pinned into place with long sewing pins or thumb tacks (drawing pins) or marking pins. Bear in mind that the cork is 2mm thick; after that you are pushing into denser Sundeala. It may be difficult to remove thumb tacks.<br />
<br />
Another technique is to use weights -- large washers or map weights or particularly somnolescent felines -- to keep the pattern pieces and fabric from shifting.<br />
<br />
(picture of scissors)<br />
<br />
Choice of scissors is up to the user. Please remember that pointy scissors (such as those pictured above left and center may dig into the cork and damage it.) Most appropriate are angled tailor's shears as on the right.<br />
<br />
When you are done cutting, please remove all fabric, pattern pieces, pins and other tools, and replace the lid.</div>Wrenhttps://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/w/index.php?title=Equipment&diff=24322Equipment2012-08-19T17:08:04Z<p>Wren: /* Stuff to Make Things With */</p>

<div>== Things You Want ==<br />
<br />
We put in regular orders for electronic [[components]] and keep a large stock in the space, if you wish to use components from the space or want to add something to the next order, [[components|read the components page]].<br />
<br />
If you want the space to buy equipment, books or anything else, add it to the [[Wishlist]] or to the [[Pledges]].<br />
<br />
If you want to buy something yourself, have a look at the [[Suppliers|suppliers page]]<br />

<div>We hold pledge drives for the purchase of items for the space that cannot feasibly be bought using Hackspace funds, or are desired by a minority of members.<br />
<br />
You may pledge whatever you can afford and should expect to have a say on the product selection and purchase. Ultimately, however, pledges are in most cases a targeted donation: the purchased object is then owned by the whole hackspace rather than the group of members who paid for it, and they receive no permanent privileges unless otherwise agreed.<br />
<br />
Once you have paid your pledge, please mark your pledge entry as paid.<br />

<div>'''This pledge is OVER. We have a cutting table.'''<br />
<br />
To kickstart working on [[Textiles|textiles]], the hackspace needs something along these lines: http://www.notmartha.org/tomake/cuttingtable/ <br />
<br />
This is a DIY version of a professional cutting table, which is used by costumers and tailors to trace patterns, lay out and cut fabric. I don't have enough flat table space with 360 degree access at home, and I'm guessing many others interested in sewing don't either. I could also, with some care, be used to block knitting.<br />
<br />
It needs to be slightly modified to suit the hackspace: it must be storable (since taking up an entire table all the time is unfeasible. I propose building a top sheet consisting of a backing layer underlying cork, to be wrapped in kraft paper in- or ex-situ, which can be clamped onto one of the tables when needed. The clamps will be dedicated to this equipment. <br />
<br />
The best solution appears to be mounting it to the ceiling using a of pulley system and storing it flush against the ceiling (but in such a way that no lights are blocked.)<br />
<br />
I am not sure what material is best to use as a backing; there doesn't seem to be an equivalent to homosote in the UK. It needs to be available as a single piece the size of a table, be sturdy enough to survive being stored flat in the wood pile, and be light enough to be moved around by one person. Note: Phil kindly found us a large, free, piece of Sundeala.<br />
<br />
Sundeala: 900 mm x 1200 mm. This seems like a close enough fit to bgin with (buying a larger piece of backing board will require More Money)<br />
<br />
The tables are 750 mm x1500 mm x 32.5 mm.<br />
<br />
Budget:<br />
http://www.corkstore.co.uk/bb13-cork-roll---55mm-x-122cm-x-24m-279-p.asp 122cm x 240cm x 5.5mm. (this will yield surplus cork!) £94.70<br />

<br />

I have a roll of paper just like that - I realise it's a consumable and more will be needed but I could donate enough for 2 or three re-wraps to get it started. --[[User:Artag|Artag]] 18:27, 7 January 2012 (UTC)<br />

Awesome. I'll be sorting out plans and finding the sundeala somewhere in the space tonight, provided work doesn't intervene. --[[User:Wren|Wren]] 12:08, 10 January 2012 <br />

<div>The hackspace needs something along these lines: http://www.notmartha.org/tomake/cuttingtable/ <br />
<br />
This is a DIY version of a professional cutting table, which is used by costumers and tailors to trace patterns, lay out and cut fabric. I don't have enough flat table space with 360 degree access at home, and I'm guessing many others interested in sewing don't either. I could also, with some care, be used to block knitting.<br />
<br />
It needs to be slightly modified to suit the hackspace: it must be storable (since taking up an entire table all the time is unfeasible. I propose building a top sheet consisting of a backing layer underlying cork, to be wrapped in kraft paper in- or ex-situ, which can be clamped onto one of the tables when needed. The clamps will be dedicated to this equipment. <br />
<br />
The best solution appears to be mounting it to the ceiling using a of pulley system and storing it flush against the ceiling (but in such a way that no lights are blocked.)<br />
<br />
I am not sure what material is best to use as a backing; there doesn't seem to be an equivalent to homosote in the UK. It needs to be available as a single piece the size of a table, be sturdy enough to survive being stored flat in the wood pile, and be light enough to be moved around by one person. Note: Phil kindly found us a large, free, which I hope remains in the workshop.<br />
<br />

The tables are 75 cm x150 cm x 3.25 cm.<br />

<hr />
<div>We hold pledge drives for the purchase of items for the space that cannot feasibly be bought using Hackspace funds, or are desired by a minority of members.<br />
<br />
You may pledge whatever you can afford and should expect to have a say on the product selection and purchase. Ultimately, however, pledges are in most cases a targeted donation: the purchased object is then owned by the whole hackspace rather than the group of members who paid for it, and they receive no permanent privileges unless otherwise agreed.<br />
<br />
Once you have paid your pledge, please mark your pledge entry as paid.<br />

If you want to start a pledge then use this [[Guides/Running a pledge|handy guide]].<br />

<div>[[File:redsands.jpg|300px|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
The Redsands Sea Forts are WWII relics located in the Thames Estuary. They've recently been opened up for visitors.<br />
<br />
We want to visit them. They are awesome.<br />
<br />
==What==<br />
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maunsell_Forts<br />
* http://www.project-redsand.com/history.htm<br />
<br />
==When==<br />
We're not sure yet, but it's looking like it'll be in 2011 due to weather conditions.<br />
<br />
==Where==<br />
Kent. Somewhere. We'll get a bus or something.<br />
<br />
==How==<br />
The Project Redsand trust have recently started giving tours.<br />
<br />
The boat trip will cost approximately £29 per head. If you wish to board the forts (optional, apparently) there is an additional charge of £35 per head payable to the Project Redsand Trust (a registered charity), making the total charge around £64 per head. (''We're going to check this, because it seems a lot.'')<br />
<br />
Read more here: http://xpilot.project-redsand.com/<br />
<br />
==Who's going==<br />
We need 12 people to book the boat. If there's loads of people we'll try to organise more than one trip.<br />
