- Very impressive, very nice finish
Jim is also doing some cool experimentation with the Haas, using the Haas to generate meshes of points (Jamie is confused about exactly what he's doing but it sounds cool?)
Let Jim know what size of tools you want, metric and english and all the things
Compute Zone
Scanner is back in operation, it is VERY simple to use!
Compute Zone Etiquette:
- Make sure you log out of all your services
- Close all your windows
- Firefox is the Recommended Browser, Recommended by your Local COmpute Zone Coordinator
- Will automatically clear all your history and log you out when you close the window!

No longer a hallway! (now a tanning booth?)

- It's not like he's in charge of them or anything
Kiln/Vacuum Zone
Extension cord for Vacuuform is broken and scheduled for repair.
- Wheel Vacuuform into welding zone (if available) to use.
- Be very careful when moving it, as it has the structual integrity of a styrofoam cup.

Laser Zone
Any focus problems, let Zone Coordinator know

Currently un-wardened, any volunteers?

Leet Lounge Transformation

Vinyl Zone
ZW is not present. SHAME
Welding Zone
Lookit! Shiny new plasma cutter! (applause)
Still hoping for bids on the welders. Looking like we might need to find a different solution. I'll be checking in to another seller, and then scrappers. If anybody knows anybody, i'd like to hear about it.
Wood Shop
Greg is back! :-) (applause)
Saw Stop-now working again!
