Old Business: Changing bylaws: Was reviewed ASM Storage membership paid back dues and will also be paying for Swag table (389) and portaband (going back to Nov agreement for purchasing of tools). Paypalled $1700, Create account on rivercitylabs.space, paid thru a year. CD has been taken care of. 3K laser tube fund. Paperwork in treasurer cabinet. Rolls over in Sept. BY then, we will have 11,500 from CAT donation, may get another 3k CD at that time. Will reevaluate 4 months vs 8 months. Alternative = purchase laser tube in 2 years and designate remaining dollars as general fund. Treasurer's report: still $1100/month extra. Quickbooks eliminated. 1116 over this month, still in black. For tracking, PNC CD 1 is listed on the financial report. Will be updated regularly for transparency. Amazon business account set up = free shipping. Email purchases to Heather. Dust collector is done! Ventilation for plasma cutter still needed. Next on the list for logistics New Business: Tail stock on lathe not operational. Last time a cylinder hone was used to fix, no longer a fix, needs replaced. This falls under “broken tools” etc. Full assembly is expensive, Don pricing. After markets aren't cheap but might be better than originals. Even Grizzly is offering aftermarkets instead of originals on their website for $850. Mike offered to drive to WA to go get it. The lathe itself is operational, after Harrold resurfaced it, it is very accurate. Just the tail stock that needs replaced. 2.5 inches of travel at a time. Pricing obtained prior to members' meeting next Thurs. Milwaukee air compressor $289 Amazon. 18V, 2G, 2H air compressor. Home Depot $389, FF $349. Want to purchase out of ASM reimbursement money. Motion made. Motion passed. IGNITE fliers cost 1k/$20. $21 makes 2500 if made in-house. Motion passed. Walking foot for sewing machine purchased – will fit Singer too, purchase on Amazon. More user- friendly on bigger pieces of material. $28.96 IGNITE sign-up: 54 badges made for people who've said they are going to IGNITE. If that's the case, we need to sign up for morning/afternoon shifts. Getting gondolas like engineering day. Current rumor is that our spot is in front. Makers in front, commercial in rear. If true, we will be BUSY. List and confirmation to follow. We will also need help Fri, we usually meet at 2p, waiting on confirmation. Roger will be person for additional wiring. Al bringing track. Venting welding and plasma area: sever solutions proposed. Discussed among metalworkers that this is extreme overkill and cost which is unnecessary. Furnace swirl cage fan can be mounted with a hole out the side of the building. Like the dust collection system, a hose that can be put on the area you're working in that would remove the air from where you're working and blow it outside. Want to get a dust collector for the chop saw. It does not limit the saw and sucks 2x what the existing one does. Mike offered to purchase plasma cutter. Motion made to sell for the $500 to Mike. Motion passed. Sewing machine covers: Harbor freight sells large pieces of sturdy fabrics. Roger has rubberized fabric material we could use. Roger donating. Bill had mentioned last month about having machines go through some routine maintenance. Waiting on info.
