Laser Cutter

Big Scary Laser

We got our laser cutter.

So far:

  • Cardboard dinosaur
  • Laser sign
  • Pedobear sign
  • Hackspace keyrings

See a video here.

As we're back in black the space paid for the rest of the pledge and VAT. The understanding is that we'll make plenty back by offering cutting services to people in the area.

A large number of keys for operating the machine will be cut, but it cannot be used without a safety induction (it's too easy to break).

Furniture

A load of very nice chairs were donated by Artag. These are worth £350+ each new.

Russ will be ordering the wood for the worktops some time this week, so we may be building these on Bank Holiday Monday (30th).

Vinyl Cutter

Result of Muz

Muz has got the vinyl cutter working, with some prior help from Artag.

Arcade machine

The arcade machine now has freeplay enabled. Mameification will follow in the next few weeks.

Door

Neil and Mark finally got the door system working. Please call Mark if you have trouble getting it open.

Lockpicking

Steffen sent us some locks and picks to play with while we await the delivery of the sports sets. There was lockpicking throughout the Tuesday meeting, but the main workshop/training session is on Monday 30th from 2pm.
