Why/how this will be good to have

To expand into and make the Metal space a nicer and safer envirioment a cleaner looking and well laid out workshop. This will make the place a better working place for all.

A group of us met in the space to discuss what needed to be done. A floorplan was surveyed and drawing created. The final layout of equipment is work in progress

• To delinearate the workshop from existing tenants a division a partition would be needed, this will be made up from storage racking and workbenchs and dividers. We have some storage but will need some more.

• The floor will be painted (probably slate grey) starting with the bay furtherest from the door.

• The walls will be cleared of superfulious wiring and other bits and then painted

• Tool storage on the walls

The plan is arrange the workshop into areas:

   Machining area:    Harrision Lathe, milling machine, Elliot drill bench 
   Fabrication area:  Air comprerssor and tools, cut off saw, grinder, assembly bench 
   Welding area:      Mig, Tig and arc welders, welding bench
   Hot metals area:   Forge, anvil, casting equipment
   CNC machine area:  Space should be allowed for the CNC plasma cutter when it is functional
