To purchase a new furnace for the space as per discussion on metal space page.

Alot of people are asking about this including new members and having the equipment for casting projects would be very useful as the one we have is a unit which is not only terrible in regards to fuel consumption, it also required pouring hot metal from a height due to its design (unit is one piece, crucible cannot be remover and the whole unit needs to be tipped to use.)

Myself of course, And others have shown interest on slack.
