Bio: I'm a member of the hackspace because I enjoy using my hands to fix and create things, which I don't get an opportunity to do at my desk job.

I'm pretty good at software and ok at mechanical stuff, but don't know very much about EE.

Ideas for cleanup/workshop advice sign copy:

"Don't be the one jerk who left a mess! What would your old mum think?" "Remember to stop 10 minutes early and tidy." "Working slow is faster in the long run." "Henry the hoover is hungry. Please feed him. And help him if he needs to poo." "Clean up like you have a date coming over!" "Taking good care of tools is like giving extra money to the hackspace." "Hacking is about creativity, not sloppy work."

Things I have done at the hackspace:

• Made a new guard for the bench grinder.
• Re-wired the plug for the dust fan/pump used for the scroll saw.
• Helped Mentar troubleshoot the robotic arm. Most credit due to him :)
• Used the laser cutter to produce a board and pieces for Game of the Amazons
• Sorted miscellaneous screws, nuts, and bolts.
• Took apart, cleaned & re-oiled, and put back together the Mini Lathe.
• Worked on fixing the Mini Lathe motor. Almost there, I think!
• Helped to restore Cremer Street to get the deposit back.
• Built some shelves in the
