== Top things you should know about the Wood Shop ==

1. '''Woodshop classes are hybrid online and in-person'''. You must take the Wood Shop Safety and Policies Class (Wood Shop S&P) before using the woodshop. Use of any of the power tools that are not hand power tools require certification. All TinkerMill members and members of the public can use hand non-powered and hand power tools. All larger power tools, such as the drill press, chop saw among others can be used after taking a certification class. The ShopBot, SawStop, and Lathe have their own separate certification classes. See the MeetUp calendar https://www.meetup.com/LongmontHackerSpace/events/upcoming for the coming classes.

2. The SawStop table saw is incredibly accurate, powerful and full of safety features. '''It can be used after Saw Stop Certification class.'''

3. '''Every user of the space is responsible for cleaning up during and after your project.''' There is no cleaning service. If you don't clean up your mess another TinkerMill Member will be forced to clean up and you may loose privileges to use the space. Follow the 105% rule - Leave the space 5% better than the way you found it.

4. The Wood Shop is for wood projects only. Do not use any of the tools on non-wood. The general work bench in the main room has tools to be used for other materials.

4KW Laser

2025-04-16T19:22:59Z

|colors =  
 
|captain = Erik Akia
|email = rapidpro@tinkermill.org
|slackchannel = #4KW Laser

<ul><li> $1.33 per minute of laser on time<li></ul></div>
}}

== General ==
We were donated a Mitsubishi ML2512HV 4kw CO2 laser in 2023, members donated to upgrade our power to use it, and we are currently working toward finishing the final phases of that goal. Please be patient with us as it gets powered and as we integrate it into TinkerMill. We’re getting close!

=== Classes ===
Certifications will cost $300 and consist of two classes. The first class will cover computer work, file creation, post-processing, G-code, M-code, and loading .nc files onto the laser. The second class will focus on shop policy, safety, and the operation of the laser with various materials. You will receive the Laser Trainee designation after completing the two certification classes. 

While a Laser Trainee, you must have an approved mentor present when using the laser until you advance to Laser Tech. The mentor will assist you if needed and assess whether you are ready to advance. The criteria for advancement will include safe operation and whether you still require the mentor’s help for essential tasks and information acquisition. We do not expect you to know everything to advance, but you should be able to use the machine safely and approach any issues or gaps in knowledge in a manner that does not endanger you or the machine. The certification fee will cover your first two hours with a mentor during your initial session, and subsequent hours will cost $25 each.

=== Shop Fees ===

All TinkerMill shops are self-funded and do not receive a portion of membership dues. Both members and non-members are required to pay for time spent in the shop and for materials that are used. The shop fees help pay for equipment maintenance and repair, shop supplies, and the purchase of new tools and equipment. The current rates are shown in the Info Box on this page (top-right corner) and are posted on a sign in the shop.

Payments by cash or check can be placed in the blue box in the shop. Please use one of the envelopes provided and write your name, the amount, and that it is for 4Kw Laser Shop before depositing in the box. Payments can also be made electronically via Venmo or at the kiosk at the front office.

The laser usage fee will be based on the laser-on time at $1.33 per minute. This rate may fluctuate as we better understand usage and costs as more people begin using the machine.

=== Donations ===

Cash donations are appreciated and accepted at any time. Payments can be made as described above for shop fees.

Donations of equipment must be approved by the Executive Director. Do not leave unapproved donations in the shop. Unwanted donations may be disposed of at the discretion of the shop captain and may be offered to the membership, donated to charity, or thrown away.

Below are some items that we could use in the shop. If you have any of these items to donate, please contact a shop captain:

== Equipment ==

Below is a list of some of the equipment, tools, and supplies in the 4Kw Laser Shop. The shop has many additional tools and supplies that are too numerous to list.

We are always open to suggestions for other tools and supplies that would help to make the shop more useful. If you have something that you would like to donate, please contact a shop captain or the TinkerMill executive director first to discuss your donation. See the [[#Donations]] section above for more info.

Blacksmithing

2021-09-08T02:44:31Z

ErikAkia: /* Equipment & Tools */

The blacksmithing shop is located in the back bay area adjacent to the welding shop. We have several gas forges, a coal forge, several anvils and a power hammer. We are always looking to add equipment and tools when we can. Our group communicates through the #blacksmithing channel on Slack and through in-person meetings advertised on Meetup.com.

== Education ==
===Getting Started===
; Blacksmithing Shop Safety : This basic safety class covers the safe ignition, operation, and shut down of the gas forge; safe use of the hammers, anvils, and other hand tools.

===Course Listing===
; Basic Blacksmithing: This project-based class will teach you basic hammer control and the techniques necessary to make some small, but useful, items.

; Blacksmithing Power Tools : This intermediate class covers the safe use of the power tools in the blacksmithing area including our drill press, angle grinders, abrasive cutoff saw, and band saws.

; Heat Treating : This class teaches you how and when to heat treat steel, how to achieve your desired results, and what happens in steel at the atomic level during the heat treating process.

; Workshops : We offer seasonal workshops and demonstrations by blacksmiths from around the country. These workshops are generally between two and six hours and the topics vary depending on the instructor.

===Teaching===
Teaching is sharing and inspiring others to learn and share. Here are a few ways this can be accomplished:
* Think, Pair, Share
* Mentorship
* Projects
* Techniques
* Open studio
* Certification instructor
Contact the shop captain to learn more, or visit [http://wiki.tinkermill.org/index.php/Teaching_Classes Teaching Classes]

== Equipment & Tools ==
The blacksmithing shop at TinkerMill currently contains:
* Gas forges

ErikAkia: /* Tool and Room Usage */

The TinkerMill has a wonderful and complete woodworking shop. We communicate using Slack in #woodshop for tool repair status and event coordination.

''The wood shop is a great place to learn basic woodworking and more advanced woodworking skills.''

[[File:woodshop.jpg|300px|The wood shop at TinkerMill]]

== Top things you should know about the Wood Shop ==

1. '''Woodshop classes are hybrid online and in-person'''. You must take the Wood Shop Safety and Policies Class (Wood Shop S&P) before using the woodshop. Use of any of the power tools that are not hand power tools require certification. All TinkerMill members and members of the public can use hand non-powered and hand power tools. All larger power tools, such as the drill press, chop saw among others can be used after taking a certification class. The ShopBot, SawStop, and Lathe have their own separate certification classes. See the MeetUp calendar https://www.meetup.com/LongmontHackerSpace/events/upcoming for the coming classes.

2. The SawStop table saw is incredibly accurate, powerful and full of safety features. '''It can be used after Saw Stop Certification class.'''

3. '''Every user of the space is responsible for cleaning up during and after your project.''' There is no cleaning service. If you don't clean up your mess another TinkerMill Member will be forced to clean up and you may loose privileges to use the space. Follow the 105% rule - Leave the space 5% better than the way you found it.

4. The Wood Shop is for wood projects only. Do not use any of the tools on non-wood. The general work bench in the main room has tools to be used for other materials.

== Tool and Room Usage ==
* Find out if the SawStop Table Saw is in use on the https://tinkermill.slack.com/archives/machine-usage slack channel
* Find out if the Wood Shop is reserved: http://wiki.tinkermill.org/index.php/Resource_Scheduling#How_to_View_the_Resource_Calendars. The woodshop can only be reserved for classes. (during covid usage limitations you may reserve usage of the woodshop. Up to 3 people may use the space at one time.)
Checkout MeetUp to find out when the next class or group activity will be held.

== Classes ==

We are building classes that are offered in the Wood Shop. The Wood Shop is built on the idea that anyone can learn wood working and some people have varying levels of previous experience. There are no prerequisite for any class except member orientation for equipment with Tinker Access, SawStop and Laguna Lathe. Please take them in any order you are comfortable with. Classes are taught by volunteers and are scheduled based on volunteer availability. We attempt to offer Wood Shop 101, Wood Shop 201, and Saw Stop Certification at least once a month. Other classes may be offered based on demand. If a class is of interest, contact a shop captain or message on Slack.

ErikAkia: /* Tools Requiring Certification */

The TinkerMill has a wonderful and complete woodworking shop. We communicate using Slack in #woodshop for tool repair status and event coordination.

''The wood shop is a great place to learn basic woodworking and more advanced woodworking skills.''

[[File:woodshop.jpg|300px|The wood shop at TinkerMill]]

== Top things you should know about the Wood Shop ==

1. '''Woodshop classes are taught every month'''. You must take the Wood Shop Introduction and Safety class (Wood Shop 101) before using any of the power tools that are not hand power tools. All TinkerMill members can use hand non-powered and hand power tools. All larger power tools, such as the drill press, chop saw among others can be used after taking a certification class. The ShopBot, SawStop, and Lathe have their own separate certification classes. See the MeetUp calendar https://www.meetup.com/LongmontHackerSpace/events/upcoming for the coming classes.

2. The SawStop table saw is incredibly accurate, powerful and full of safety features. '''It can be used after Saw Stop Certification class.'''

3. '''Every user of the space is responsible for cleaning up during and after your project.''' There is no cleaning service. If you don't clean up your mess another TinkerMill Member will be forced to clean up and you may loose privileges to use the space. Follow the 105% rule - Leave the space 5% better than the way you found it.

4. The Wood Shop is for wood projects only. Do not use any of the tools on non-wood. The general work bench in the main room has tools to be used for other materials.

== Tool and Room Usage ==

ErikAkia: /* Classes */ added link to table saw handout

The TinkerMill has a wonderful and complete woodworking shop. We communicate using Slack in #woodshop for tool repair status and event coordination.

''The wood shop is a great place to learn basic woodworking and more advanced woodworking skills.''

[[File:woodshop.jpg|300px|The wood shop at TinkerMill]]

== Top things you should know about the Wood Shop ==

1. '''Woodshop classes are taught every month'''. You must take the Wood Shop Introduction and Safety class (Wood Shop 101) before using any of the power tools that are not hand power tools. All TinkerMill members can use hand non-powered and hand power tools. All larger power tools, such as the drill press, chop saw among others can be used after taking a certification class. The ShopBot, SawStop, and Lathe have their own separate certification classes. See the MeetUp calendar https://www.meetup.com/LongmontHackerSpace/events/upcoming for the coming classes.

2. The SawStop table saw is incredibly accurate, powerful and full of safety features. '''It can be used after Saw Stop Certification class.'''

3. '''Every user of the space is responsible for cleaning up during and after your project.''' There is no cleaning service. If you don't clean up your mess another TinkerMill Member will be forced to clean up and you may loose privileges to use the space. Follow the 105% rule - Leave the space 5% better than the way you found it.

4. The Wood Shop is for wood projects only. Do not use any of the tools on non-wood. The general work bench in the main room has tools to be used for other materials.

== Tool and Room Usage ==
* Find out if the SawStop Table Saw is in use on the https://tinkermill.slack.com/archives/machine-usage slack channel
* Find out if the Wood Shop is reserved: http://wiki.tinkermill.org/index.php/Resource_Scheduling#How_to_View_the_Resource_Calendars. The wood shop can only be reserved for classes.

New Member On-ramp

2019-08-25T22:36:30Z

ErikAkia: add sentence related to slack that recommends installing the app.

== Hi. You're awesome or you wouldn't be here! ==

=== You have unique skills, knowledge and background that we are excited to have at Tinkermill. We can't wait to get to know you. Tinkermill is an exciting place packed with discovery and adventure. As such, it is frequently the case that with so much opportunity new members can feel overwhelmed at first. So, how do you get going? Where is the on-ramp? Here are some pathways that seem to be succeeding in ramping up new folks like you to fully engaged members: ===

----

* Take the New Member Orientation. Really. It is the best place to start and goes over all this info plus lots more. Check the [https://www.meetup.com/LongmontHackerSpace/events/ MeetUp calendar] for the next one.
* In fact, take some time to explore the events scheduled on the calendar. Follow the links for descriptions. Many are free and some have a charge to cover instructor time, shop fees and materials. Some are for the sole purpose of certifying you to use equipment. Some are for projects you can make. Some are just opportunities to explore the possibilities. You can set up a Meetup too, by the way.
* Come to the Tuesday evening weekly meetings at 7:00. Introduce yourself and tell us a bit about what excites you. This is a great step in finding a kindred spirit and/or an initial path to take where you can engage further.
* Join [https://tinkermill.slack.com/ Slack]. Then bookmark it or install the slack app on all your devices. Look through the channels available. Join an interesting channel. Ask a question, make a comment. Start a new channel for an unrepresented topic. It is a very active place. It uses your Tinkermill email address, so check that account from time to time. For help with Slack check out [[SLACK 101]].
* Actually, joining in is the key to getting involved at Tinkermill. Whatever draws you in, show up, listen, inquire, share, teach. That is the best way to experience the culture.
* Be open to serendipity. It happens all the time here.
* Volunteer.
* Did I say volunteer? That's what members do. It is really fun even (especially) if you don't know anyone yet. There is a [https://tinkermill.slack.com/messages/C3YJQL9UJ/details Volunteer channel on Slack] where things needing attention get posted. There are also white boards scattered around that list what volunteers can do to help out a shop. There is most certainly something you can do and in the end, it feels good to contribute to the Tinkermill community.
* Contact the captain of a shop you're interested in. You'll find some sort of poster at each shop with contact info for the captain. There is also contact info at the [http://wiki.tinkermill.org/index.php/Shop_Captains Shop Captains wiki page].
* Come to an Admin meeting held the second Sunday of every month at 11:00. Open to all members.
* Come to the Sunday afternoon Open Houses from 2-4PM. Maybe tag along on another tour. Share your excitement about being a new member.
* Spend a bit of time at shops where someone is doing something. Ask them what they are doing.

'''It is an exciting and active place. Share your enthusiasm. We look forward to seeing you around.'''

ErikAkia: Added another video to the jointer section.

There are no pre-req for this class. During this class we will build one side of a picture frame using some of the more advanced tools.

Taking a standard stock piece of hardwood, we will use the joiner to obtain a flat side, the plainer to get a defined thickness, the router to obtain a wood profile and the drum sander to obtain a smooth finish. The goal of the class is to create a profiled board from which to create a picture frame.

Please watch these videos and read the articles linked in this handout before the class to gain the basics of these tools. During the class we will go over some the tips and tricks for our tools and get hands-on experience.

ErikAkia: /* Top things you should know about the Wood Shop */

The TinkerMill has a wonderful and complete woodworking shop. We communicate using Slack in #woodshop for tool repair status and event coordination.

''The wood shop is a great place to learn basic woodworking and more advanced woodworking skills.''

== Top things you should know about the Wood Shop ==

1. '''Woodshop classes are taught every month'''. You must take the Wood Shop Introduction and Safety class (Wood Shop 101) before using any of the power tools that are not hand power tools. All TinkerMill members can use hand non-powered and hand power tools. All larger power tools, such as the drill press, chop saw among others can be used after taking a certification class. The ShopBot, SawStop, and Lathe have their own separate certification classes. See the MeetUp calendar https://www.meetup.com/LongmontHackerSpace/events/upcoming for the coming classes.

2. The SawStop table saw is incredibly accurate, powerful and full of safety features. '''It can be used after Saw Stop Certification class.'''

3. '''Every user of the space is responsible for cleaning up during and after your project.''' There is no cleaning service. If you don't clean up your mess another TinkerMill Member will be forced to clean up and you may loose privileges to use the space. Follow the 105% rule - Leave the space 5% better than the way you found it.

4. The Wood Shop is for wood projects only. Do not use any of the tools on non-wood. The general work bench in the main room has tools to be used for other materials.

== Tool and Room Usage ==

Classes are taught by volunteers and are scheduled based on volunteer availability. We attempt to offer Wood Shop 101, Wood Shop 201, and Saw Stop Certification at least once a month. Other classes may be offered based on demand. If a class is of interest, contact a shop captain or message on Slack.
