What is being asked for

Why/how this will be good to have

Many members feel that keeping the metal space running is:

   - important as it is the primary interest of many members
   - easier than arranging for secure storage and its costs, and the     eventual logistical issues of finding a new space with less inertia/interest
   - feasible, now that we have more ownership of the space and can address safety concerns (access, equipment inductions- basically, a clean start)

How does the hackspace benefit: Generally, the feeling is that while not all members use all tools actively, having access to as broad of a set of tools and workspaces possible is many members' reason for joining- see recently those such as Dan and Ned. Members in favor agree that this represents a good short-term, and good enough medium/long term option while we await the main hackspace move, with the goal to be to find a place that can accomodate both the hackspace and metalspace equipment. The short notice to vacate is especially beneficial.
