Storage
Please do not store project materials in the metal shop (or other shop areas). Member storage space is provided and large pieces can be placed along the back wall of the member storage area.
Make sure you attach a note with your name on it to all your materials. Materials without a note attached (even if your name is written on the piece itself) may be considered "up for grabs" by some members of our community.
Metal left in the shop will be removed to the scrap bin or the trash.
Material leaning against a wall or on the floor of a work area constitute a safety hazard. We have had problems with material accumulating in the shop to very hazardous conditions. Please consider the safety of the community a higher priority than your convenience.
