Line 89:
=== At front door ===
* [ How to open door ]
* [Demonstrate fire alarm]
===
* [Toilets - unisex, cleanliness, clean running water]
* To your left there are a wide variety of tools, typically things that you might have at home or be able to buy at a DIY store▼
* [Storage - policy on wiki, good practice. don't be surprised if we throw your stuff away]
* They are smaller than some of the other tools, yet still pose a hazard▼
* [How to use a fire extinguisher]
* Please make sure you know how to use them▼
=== First aid kit and PPE ===
* [Eye-wash station, basic first aid, bleeding control kit]
* [PPE - check gloves for holes before using, including purchase missing items]
* A lot of tools here make dust so above the benches there's an air cleaner, please turn it on whenever you're working down here, the remote is by the door. It uses next to no power so it's OK to leave it running on the timer when you leave.▼
* By the door is the honesty box [point it out], most tools are free to use but usage fees for those downstairs tools that have them go in there.▼
* If you're using a lot of nuts, bolts, sandpaper, other small consumables then consider donating a few pence but it's not compulsory unless you're using a hell of a lot▼
* Here we also have the drill press, it's a high powered 3-phase machine and will quite happily wrap you around the spindle if you get careless with it▼
* This is the Boxford CNC Mill, it's a complicated and expensive tool, and we ask that you attend a familiarisation session before trying to use it. To be honest you're probably more of a threat to it than it is to you, but it's still possible to get hurt if you use it wrong enough.▼
=== In workshop, by chemical store ===
Line 122 ⟶ 114:
* We are not licensed to store explosives, toxins or pre-cursors – this includes chemicals such as higher concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. Please do not bring such chemicals into the space
* Top tip – when you open the cupboard, step back for a moment to let the fumes escape, else you will get a face full of fumes
=== Chopsaws / tool inductions===
* Opposite the sink and chemical cupboard we have the chop saws and the linisher
* This one [points to left one] is for metal, the other one is for wood
* They throw sparks or chips around the workshop, if mis-used they can throw your entire work piece at you, inductions are required for the chopsaws but not the linisher
* Under the chop saws here [points it out] is the store for scrap timber. If you have offcuts big enough to be useful please put them here, if you want to use something here they're free-for-all, take whatever you need but please consider a donation if that's a lot.
=== Planer/thicknesser and bandsaw ===
* [induction req'd, clear up your dust and make sure suction works, don't put your hand inside]
* [at bandsaw - access control, two levels of induction - please do second if you'll make heavy use, awesome but dangerous]
=== In workshop, in loading bay ===▼
* Here is the tablesaw – another powerful and high precision piece of equipment.▼
* The hazard here is pretty clear – it has a large spinning blade in the top.▼
* It has dust extraction fitted, which will collect much of the dust the you will create - please use it▼
* Again, we ask that you do not use the tablesaw unless you have had a familiarisation session ▼
* The distribution units are here on the wall. Around the workshop you may have noticed the red emergency stop buttons on the walls, if pressed they shut off all power to all the sockets down here but not to the large 3-phase tools. If you trip the power, you will have to reset with the key [point to key].▼
* [e-stops are now functional]
* Also, here is the light switch for the loading bay, next to the e-stop▼
* There are blue scheppauge vacuums around [find one] that are ment specifically for wood dust – as well as a variety of other vacuums and brooms. Please clear up all of the dust that you make before you leave.▼
=== Wood lathe / reductive work working===
* [Here's a way of making vast amounts of dust v quickly]
* [Air cleaner, sweeping, leave 15mins to clear up your mess]
=== In workshop, by stairs ===
* Here is the welding equipment, the forge, the compressor and the blasting cabinet, along with a bottles of gas▼
* If you are unfamiliar of the risks associated with using them, then again, we can provide training, the forge and welder require it.▼
* Please keep the space at the bottom of the stairs clear of objects▼
* [FORGE]
=== In workshop, at fire exit ===
* Here is the fire exit - please keep the space in front of it clear▼
[demonstrate opening]▼
* The fire escape route is round the back of the building, and round the side. Don't flee in the wrong direction. Don't get caught on the barbed wire.▼
* Please keep the escape route clear of objects▼
* Behind the sign there is barbed wire. If the sign is missing, there is a risk that you might get caught on it, so take a sharp left if you have to flee the building▼
=== In workshop, by lathe ===
Line 138 ⟶ 164:
* By the side of the lathe here [points it out] is the store for metal offcuts and larger bits are kept under the sticking&slipping shelves. If you have offcuts big enough to be useful to people please put them here, if you want to use something here they're free, take whatever you need.

=== CNC mills===
▲=== In workshop, in loading bay ===
▲* This is the Boxford CNC Mill, it's a complicated and expensive tool, and we ask that you attend a familiarisation session before trying to use it. To be honest you're probably more of a threat to it than it is to you, but it's still possible to get hurt if you use it wrong enough.
▲* Here is the tablesaw – another powerful and high precision piece of equipment.
*[expand e.g. interlocks]
▲* The hazard here is pretty clear – it has a large spinning blade in the top.
▲* It has dust extraction fitted, which will collect much of the dust the you will create - please use it
=== Sewing machines, remote controls===
▲* Again, we ask that you do not use the tablesaw unless you have had a familiarisation session

=== In small machine room ===
Line 163 ⟶ 188:
* You will need to take training on the laser cutter before you can use it. This is in part to protect what is an expensive piece of equipment, but also because it is a fire hazard – it burns through things with a laser-beam
* Please do not leave the laser cutters unattended when they are working. It can catch fire.
* [Expansion req'd]
=== Main room upstairs ===
* Finally, here is the main room. In here we have soldering irons and reflow stations, they get hot. Please make sure that you pick the soldering irons and heat guns by the right end. Be aware that knocking the heat gun off its cradle may cause to to start blowing very hot air
* [Reflow oven - don't sniff it, don't turn on unless inducted, don't use it to cook pizza]
* The 3D printer and hot-glue guns are also kept in this room, neither is likely to cause a fire but they could injure you if you're not careful with them. Hot glue is obviously hot and can burn skin. The 3D printer has parts that get up to 260C as well as numerous pinch points where a finger could get caught.
* Nobody should ever be leaving live circuits unattended, and should give clear warning if they're working with mains power
