:Our goal is simple: Walk in with an idea, walk out with it in your hand.

===Vision Statement===

=== Maker Definition===
:'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>A maker is someone who defines themselves by their ability to turn ideas into reality through creativity, innovation, and hands-on skills.''' Makers are typically driven by a desire to create and solve problems, using tools, materials, and technology to bring their visions to life. They often have a passion for a particular field or hobby, such as woodworking, electronics, or crafting, and may be self-taught or have formal training in their area of expertise. Makers take pride in their ability to think outside the box and find unique solutions to challenges, often experimenting with new techniques and materials to achieve their goals. They may collaborate with other makers, sharing ideas and knowledge to create something greater than what they could achieve alone. Overall, being a maker is more than just a hobby or profession - it is a mindset and a way of life that values creativity, ingenuity, and hands-on problem-solving.

:Additionally, we have a Slack channel (#job-board) for members to post, discuss, or accept job opportunities either within PPM or from the community.

==Physical Space Safety==
Fire extinguishers, first aid kits, eye washes stations, and exit doors should always be accessible. Please do not place any objects that could obstruct direct access to these safety features!

===Front Door Security===

====Use the peep hole!====
Do not answer the door unless you are confident the visitor is appropriate or you are capable of handling them. People come to the door to ask for money, use your cellphone, or sell you something. Be aware that you are responsible for your safety and the security of the building when you open the door.

====Packages and Mail====
FedEx, UPS, Amazon, USPS,... they all use the ring doorbell to deliver packages. So if you hear the doorbell, please check the peephole and answer it if you are comfortable.

It is fine to have your supply packages delivered to the Makerspace. Have your name added to the address label and look for it near the front door. Don't leave packages around for long.

[[File:Escape Routes.png|thumb|Evacuation plan for 735 E Pikes Peak Ave]]

==Reporting Injuries ==
'''•''' Report any injuries, or near misses, to the Executive Director using an incidence report which can be found on the Safety Board.

==Red Tags==
'''•''' Use a Red Tag, which can be found in the '''[[:File:RED TAG AREA.jpg|red tag area]]''', to designate the broken equipment.

'''•''' Additionally, report the issue in our Slack #red-tags channel.

==Last One Out Rules==
After you have cleaned up and you are ready to head out, check to see if you are the only one in the building.

If so, you are required to check each of the following.

There is a sign posted on both the front and back door for quick reference.

== Using the Space==

=== If I have a question...===
As a new member, you'll be learning the ropes and there is a lot to know! There is not always someone available to help, but the answer you seek is probably detailed in the resources our volunteers (members) have created just for you.

This is the preferred sequence of seeking answers and information.

#'''[https://wiki.pikespeakmakerspace.org/index.php?title=Special:Search&profile=all&search=&fulltext=1 Search our Wiki]''' (If your answer is not here on the Wiki, please let us know!)
#Ask members and Area Captains on Slack
#Use our [https://pikespeakmakerspace.org/Contact '''"Contact Us"'''] form on the PPM website
# Ask a Director

===Equipment Access===
Equipment at PPM is categorized into the following levels:

*Level 1 - '''No training''' required

*Level 2 - '''Training''' and/or equipment *buy-in* required
*Level 3 - '''Required to be certified''' under supervision of a PPM Captain, or by taking a certification course listed on Meetup

Before using the wood shop, metal shop, 3D printers, lasers, or other PPM owned equipment, you must certify by taking a certification course listed on [https://www.meetup.com/pikespeakmakerspace/events/ Meetup].

If you have previous experience with specific equipment, you can be certified by an area leader but we ask that you still "buy-in" (pay for the course) to the equipment to support the maintenance and upkeep of the machines (i.e. saw sharpening, laser lens, print toner, etc.)

===Cleaning Up===

*Always leave the space better than you found it.

*If the trash can is more than 3/4 full, take it out! Don't play Jenga with garbage. If you are the first one to see it getting full, you are the one responsible for emptying it.
*Trash bags can be found in the bathrooms.
*The garbage dumpster is located outside the South door.
*Recycling is collected in 96 gallon totes (2 of them) and are picked up every two weeks.

*Always label your project and make sure it is not in the way of other members.

Guests must be over 18 years old to sign the liability waiver.

Frequent guests are encouraged to get a membership.

===Member Storage===
It is ideal that you to use the space to build amazing things, no matter the size! However, it is a problem when project builds occupy valuable space in a way that prevents others from using the space. We are not a storage facility.

Therefore, please observe the following practices in regards to storing your project and tools.

#If leaving your project overnight or for multiple nights, make sure it is occupying as little space as possible and that is easy for other members to work around!
#Label your project in process with your name, expected "return to work" date, and phone number or contact information!
#Do not, under any circumstances, leave items untouched for more than 30 days. Anything that you leave here must be picked up and used at minimum once per month or it does not belong here!
# Keep your items organized and easy to move.
#Overflowing totes are not OK!

===Dedicated Spaces===
Dedicated Spaces are private work areas and should not be entered without permission.

===Computers and Personal Devices ===
The computer login information and Wi-Fi network credentials can be found on white boards in the space. [On the right of the FIRST AID Supply Cabinet]

Login Password: [Written on white board just to the right of the FIRST AID Supply Cabinet]

==== PPM Computer Rules ====
Please use computers for professional use (no cruising Facebook/ pointless browsing)

Members are not given personal logins or passwords; backup work on an external storage device.

Do not leave any messes in any workspace (anything without a name can be tossed or relocated to lost and found).

==== Share Drive====
The s:/ drive is a shared network drive available on all PPM computers. All you need to do to enjoy it is create a folder for yourself in the drive!

'''''This shared drive is visible to all members. If you need security, do not use this drive.'''''

#Files might be removed automatically after 2 months,
#Do not store files in the main folder directory, and
#Keep your own backup! We are not responsible if your data becomes lost or corrupted in any way!

==Commercial Use==
Pikes Peak Makerspace is a great place to prototype, experiment, and develop your product ideas.

The Pikes Peak Makerspace is based on open source ideals and thus encourages its membership to embrace those ideals as well, however members do reserve the rights to all of their creations.

Wood Shop — SawStop table saw

2023-07-19T16:29:25Z

Lisa: /* Additional Resources */

[[File:Level_3_badge.png|alt=Level 3 badge|left|frameless|100x100px]]

The SawStop Tablesaw is a level 3 tool in the [[Wood Shop| Wood Shop Area ]]. Which requires individual certification before use.

Our SawStop cannot be turned on without scanning the RFID card of a certified member in our TESLA Access system.
 
 
 
 
   
 
== Saw Stop Orientation==

===How to Become Certified===
The SawStop is a powerful and precise table saw with advanced safety features. Only members who have completed the following are permitted to use the SawStop.

# Be a member in good standing that is certified to use the Wood Shop.
# Pass the SawStop Orientation Quiz by clicking this link here: https://forms.gle/rj4KknEj7ZKubrvi8
#Attend an in-person, hands-on SawStop class ($50)

===Getting Started===
'''<big>By using this tool, you accept responsibility for safe operation and agree to pay for brake and blade replacements required due to false activation of the safety system.</big>'''

====<big>Powering on the SawStop</big>====
<big>'''Before using the SawStop table saw, read the [https://www.sawstop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/M_ICS_WEB.pdf user manual] and become familiar with the saw's controls and features.'''</big>
* The SawStop table saw will not turn on without scanning the RFID door card of an authorized user.
*Scan your door card on the TESLA box to enable the saw and wait for the ready-to-operate lights to turn green.
*Use the paddle switch to turn on and off the blade.
*After use, drop the blade into the cabinet, clean the saw, and log off.

====<big>Operating PPM's SawStop Table Saw</big>====

*Do not make adjustments to the saw, adjust the fence, or change the blade without shop Captain approval.
*If the brake trips, contact the Woodshop Captains.
*Ensure the blade guards are kept clean and free of debris.
*Use dust collection.
*Report any damage or issues immediately.

====<big>Operating any Table Saw</big>====
* Make sure you have no loose clothing, jewelry, or hair that will be anywhere near the blade.
*Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and ear protection, and a dust mask.
*Always use the blade guard and splitter (riving knife) to keep the wood from binding and kicking back during the cut.
*Always be familiar with the location of the Emergency Stop Button, and practice reaching for it from your cutting stance to commit the motion to muscle memory.
*Always ensure the saw is off before making any adjustments to angle or height of the blade.
*Always use the folding outfeed table when ripping plywood or long stock.
*Always use push sticks and push blocks to keep your hands at least 4" away from the blade.
*Never reach over the blade or make contact with the blade while it is in motion.
*Never use the zero clearance insert on angled cuts. It is for 90 degree cuts only.
*Never use the miter gauge and the rip fence at the same time.
* Keep the blade height set between 1/8 to 1/4 inch above the workpiece.
*Do not cut too close to the fence.
*No dado cuts. The SawStop requires a special cartridge which we do not have.

====Avoiding Kickback====

*Kickback can occur when ripping boards. Keep to one side of the blade or other depending on the cut you are making. Stay away from standing directly behind the blade.
*You must always use the rip fence, miter gauge, or crosscut sled. Absolutely no free cuts with the tablesaw.
*Use the blade guards and riving knife.
*Miter gauge must be used on the right of the blade when bevel cutting.

====Cleaning up and Shutdown====
*
*Cleaning the saw
**Remove insert and clean around the blade with compressed air.
** Open the access panels (one on each side) and inspect the cabinet for saw dust.
***Clean the cabinet with a shop-vac as necessary.
**Ensure dust collection is unclogged and functional.
*** This can require disconnecting the 4" dust collection hose and shaking it out.
***Ensure blade access panel and dust door is closed (the one with the magnet). If left open, sawdust will fill the cabinet.
*Inspect blade, and notify shop Captain if the blade needs to be cleaned.
*Dust off the surface and clean around the base after each use.
*Don’t leave any scraps - dispose of them in the bin or dumpster.
*Put all accessories (moisture meter, metal detector, miter gauge) back in the appropriate location.
*The SawStop should be perfectly clean and ready for the next user when you are done.
*Log out and clean up after each use or risk losing access to the saw.

====SawStop Captain Duties====

=====Maintenance Inspections=====
* Keep the saw's blade and guards clean and free of debris to ensure optimal performance and safety.
*Check the tightness of all bolts, screws, and other fasteners regularly to ensure that the saw remains securely in place.
*Replace worn or damaged parts as soon as possible to maintain the saw's performance and safety.
*Regularly inspect the saw for any signs of wear, damage, or other issues that could impact its performance or safety.

=====Hands-on SawStop class=====
Instructors of the hands-on SawStop class will cover the following.
*
*
*
*
*
*

*How to check material for conductivity and avoid false triggers.
* The normal blade guard is used for rips and crosscuts.
*The instructor will show you how to install the riving knife for non-thru cuts or rabbets.
*The limit rod should remain on the blade guard.
*The kickback pawls can be enabled or disabled depending on your needs.
*The blade height should be set so that the blade is 1/8 to 1/4 inch above the wood piece.

==SawStop Flesh Detection==
The 5HP SawStop Industrial Cabinet Saw is a high-quality saw that is designed for safety and performance.

It features a flesh detection technology that can quickly stop the blade in the event of accidental contact with a user's skin.

*In the event of flesh detection, a single use cartridge fires and seizes the blade before the user is injured.
* Both the cartridge and blade must be replaced before the SawStop can be used again.

===Avoiding False Triggers===
Although uncommon, it is possible to have a false flesh detection. '''Users are responsible for the expense of brake and blade replacements required due to false activation of the safety system (about $150).'''

False triggers are caused by conductivity. One way to check if your material is conductive is to hold it against the blade with the saw off and look at the indication lights. If red, it will trigger the blade brake. If green, that part of the material is unlikely to trigger.
#'''Moisture in the Wood''' can cause false triggers in the SawStop's flesh detection technology. To avoid false triggers from moisture, it's important to properly test the moisture content of the wood before cutting and to ensure that the moisture content is below 10%. Here are the steps to properly test the moisture content.
##Use the moisture meter: You will need a moisture meter to accurately measure the moisture content of the wood. There are a variety of moisture meters available, ranging from simple pin-style meters to more advanced meters with digital displays.
## Test several locations: It's important to test several locations on the piece of wood, as the moisture content can vary from one area to another. Aim to test at least 3-4 different spots on each piece of wood.
## Take readings: Place the moisture meter probe on the surface of the wood and take a reading. Repeat this process for each of the test locations.
##Evaluate the results: Compare the readings from each location to determine the average moisture content of the wood. Ideally, the moisture content should be below 10% to reduce the likelihood of a false trigger. If the moisture content is higher than 10%, allow the wood to dry out further before cutting it on the SawStop table saw.
##* It's important to note that moisture meters are not foolproof and can sometimes give inaccurate readings. However, they are still a valuable tool for monitoring the moisture content of wood and reducing the risk of false triggers.
##*By properly testing the moisture content of the wood before cutting and ensuring that the moisture content is below 10%, you can reduce the likelihood of a false trigger due to moisture and ensure a safe and successful cutting experience with the SawStop table saw.
#'''Laser-Cut/Engraved Wood''' can cause false triggers and should not be used on the SawStop table saw. The carbon is conductive and can trigger the cartridge
#'''Treated Lumber''' can cause a false trigger because of the copper used in the treatment.
#'''Metal''' - Hitting a nail, screw, or staple will trigger the cartridge and you are responsible for the $150 replacement cost. Use the metal detection wand to ensure there is no metal in your wood! However, this is no guarantee as non-ferrous metals like aluminum can trigger the flesh detection system. (ie: insulating Styrofoam with a aluminum foil lining)
Access to the flesh detection bypass keys may be requested from the Executive Director.

Wood Shop — SawStop table saw

2023-07-19T16:27:56Z

Lisa: /* Tips */

[[File:Level_3_badge.png|alt=Level 3 badge|left|frameless|100x100px]]

The SawStop Tablesaw is a level 3 tool in the [[Wood Shop| Wood Shop Area ]]. Which requires individual certification before use.

Our SawStop cannot be turned on without scanning the RFID card of a certified member in our TESLA Access system.
 
 
 
 
   
 
== Saw Stop Orientation==

===How to Become Certified===
The SawStop is a powerful and precise table saw with advanced safety features. Only members who have completed the following are permitted to use the SawStop.

# Be a member in good standing that is certified to use the Wood Shop.
# Pass the SawStop Orientation Quiz by clicking this link here: https://forms.gle/rj4KknEj7ZKubrvi8
#Attend an in-person, hands-on SawStop class ($50)

===Getting Started===
'''<big>By using this tool, you accept responsibility for safe operation and agree to pay for brake and blade replacements required due to false activation of the safety system.</big>'''

====<big>Powering on the SawStop</big>====
<big>'''Before using the SawStop table saw, read the [https://www.sawstop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/M_ICS_WEB.pdf user manual] and become familiar with the saw's controls and features.'''</big>
* The SawStop table saw will not turn on without scanning the RFID door card of an authorized user.
*Scan your door card on the TESLA box to enable the saw and wait for the ready-to-operate lights to turn green.
*Use the paddle switch to turn on and off the blade.
*After use, drop the blade into the cabinet, clean the saw, and log off.

====<big>Operating PPM's SawStop Table Saw</big>====

*Do not make adjustments to the saw, adjust the fence, or change the blade without shop Captain approval.
*If the brake trips, contact the Woodshop Captains.
*Ensure the blade guards are kept clean and free of debris.
*Use dust collection.
*Report any damage or issues immediately.

====<big>Operating any Table Saw</big>====
* Make sure you have no loose clothing, jewelry, or hair that will be anywhere near the blade.
*Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and ear protection, and a dust mask.
*Always use the blade guard and splitter (riving knife) to keep the wood from binding and kicking back during the cut.
*Always be familiar with the location of the Emergency Stop Button, and practice reaching for it from your cutting stance to commit the motion to muscle memory.
*Always ensure the saw is off before making any adjustments to angle or height of the blade.
*Always use the folding outfeed table when ripping plywood or long stock.
*Always use push sticks and push blocks to keep your hands at least 4" away from the blade.
*Never reach over the blade or make contact with the blade while it is in motion.
*Never use the zero clearance insert on angled cuts. It is for 90 degree cuts only.
*Never use the miter gauge and the rip fence at the same time.
* Keep the blade height set between 1/8 to 1/4 inch above the workpiece.
*Do not cut too close to the fence.
*No dado cuts. The SawStop requires a special cartridge which we do not have.

====Avoiding Kickback====

*Kickback can occur when ripping boards. Keep to one side of the blade or other depending on the cut you are making. Stay away from standing directly behind the blade.
*You must always use the rip fence, miter gauge, or crosscut sled. Absolutely no free cuts with the tablesaw.
*Use the blade guards and riving knife.
*Miter gauge must be used on the right of the blade when bevel cutting.

====Cleaning up and Shutdown====
*
*Cleaning the saw
**Remove insert and clean around the blade with compressed air.
** Open the access panels (one on each side) and inspect the cabinet for saw dust.
***Clean the cabinet with a shop-vac as necessary.
**Ensure dust collection is unclogged and functional.
*** This can require disconnecting the 4" dust collection hose and shaking it out.
***Ensure blade access panel and dust door is closed (the one with the magnet). If left open, sawdust will fill the cabinet.
*Inspect blade, and notify shop Captain if the blade needs to be cleaned.
*Dust off the surface and clean around the base after each use.
*Don’t leave any scraps - dispose of them in the bin or dumpster.
*Put all accessories (moisture meter, metal detector, miter gauge) back in the appropriate location.
*The SawStop should be perfectly clean and ready for the next user when you are done.
*Log out and clean up after each use or risk losing access to the saw.

====SawStop Captain Duties====

=====Maintenance Inspections=====
* Keep the saw's blade and guards clean and free of debris to ensure optimal performance and safety.
*Check the tightness of all bolts, screws, and other fasteners regularly to ensure that the saw remains securely in place.
*Replace worn or damaged parts as soon as possible to maintain the saw's performance and safety.
*Regularly inspect the saw for any signs of wear, damage, or other issues that could impact its performance or safety.

=====Hands-on SawStop class=====
Instructors of the hands-on SawStop class will cover the following.
*
*
*
*
*
*

*How to check material for conductivity and avoid false triggers.
* The normal blade guard is used for rips and crosscuts.
*The instructor will show you how to install the riving knife for non-thru cuts or rabbets.
*The limit rod should remain on the blade guard.
*The kickback pawls can be enabled or disabled depending on your needs.
*The blade height should be set so that the blade is 1/8 to 1/4 inch above the wood piece.

==SawStop Flesh Detection==
The 5HP SawStop Industrial Cabinet Saw is a high-quality saw that is designed for safety and performance.

It features a flesh detection technology that can quickly stop the blade in the event of accidental contact with a user's skin.

*In the event of flesh detection, a single use cartridge fires and seizes the blade before the user is injured.
* Both the cartridge and blade must be replaced before the SawStop can be used again.

===Avoiding False Triggers===
Although uncommon, it is possible to have a false flesh detection. '''Users are responsible for the expense of brake and blade replacements required due to false activation of the safety system (about $150).'''

False triggers are caused by conductivity. One way to check if your material is conductive is to hold it against the blade with the saw off and look at the indication lights. If red, it will trigger the blade brake. If green, that part of the material is unlikely to trigger.
#'''Moisture in the Wood''' can cause false triggers in the SawStop's flesh detection technology. To avoid false triggers from moisture, it's important to properly test the moisture content of the wood before cutting and to ensure that the moisture content is below 10%. Here are the steps to properly test the moisture content.
##Use the moisture meter: You will need a moisture meter to accurately measure the moisture content of the wood. There are a variety of moisture meters available, ranging from simple pin-style meters to more advanced meters with digital displays.
## Test several locations: It's important to test several locations on the piece of wood, as the moisture content can vary from one area to another. Aim to test at least 3-4 different spots on each piece of wood.
## Take readings: Place the moisture meter probe on the surface of the wood and take a reading. Repeat this process for each of the test locations.
##Evaluate the results: Compare the readings from each location to determine the average moisture content of the wood. Ideally, the moisture content should be below 10% to reduce the likelihood of a false trigger. If the moisture content is higher than 10%, allow the wood to dry out further before cutting it on the SawStop table saw.
##* It's important to note that moisture meters are not foolproof and can sometimes give inaccurate readings. However, they are still a valuable tool for monitoring the moisture content of wood and reducing the risk of false triggers.
##*By properly testing the moisture content of the wood before cutting and ensuring that the moisture content is below 10%, you can reduce the likelihood of a false trigger due to moisture and ensure a safe and successful cutting experience with the SawStop table saw.
#'''Laser-Cut/Engraved Wood''' can cause false triggers and should not be used on the SawStop table saw. The carbon is conductive and can trigger the cartridge
#'''Treated Lumber''' can cause a false trigger because of the copper used in the treatment.
#'''Metal''' - Hitting a nail, screw, or staple will trigger the cartridge and you are responsible for the $150 replacement cost. Use the metal detection wand to ensure there is no metal in your wood! However, this is no guarantee as non-ferrous metals like aluminum can trigger the flesh detection system. (ie: insulating Styrofoam with a aluminum foil lining)
Access to the flesh detection bypass keys may be requested from the Executive Director.

Wood Shop

2023-07-08T23:53:37Z

Lisa:

[[File:Level_3_badge.png|alt=Level 3 badge|left|frameless|100x100px]]

'''The Wood Shop Area at Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) consists of'''

'''both Level 2  and Level 3 equipment.'''

Additional training and certification is required to use any of our Level 3 equipment.

'''Wood Shop Area''' hand tools should be marked with '''green''' tape or paint or powder coating.
 
 
   
 
===Wood Shop Policy, Safety, and Orientation===
All Wood Shop users are required to follow all Wood Shop Policies and Safety Procedures.

'''Members are required to pass the Wood Shop Safety Quiz with 90% or better before attending the in-person orientation.'''

Emergency Safety - Review the Wood Shop layout to know the nearest emergency exits, eye wash, first aid kits, fire extinguishers, and breaker box incase of emergency.

*By using Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) you are agreeing to the shop policies and to operate equipment and use the space safely. Personal safety is your responsibility.
*Damage to tools, equipment, the shop itself caused by your actions is solely your responsibility.

Impairment - The use of the Wood Shop equipment requires you to be alert, attentive and focused. Do not use the Wood Shop if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Likewise, ensure that you are well rested and alert.

====Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)====

*Safety Glasses - Safety glasses are required when you are operating hand or stationary powered tools in the Wood Shop.
**'''Additionally, safety glasses are required if you are in the Wood Shop, and someone else is operating powered tools.''' (ANSI Z87.1-impact resistant) safety glasses are required. These are rated for impact protection and have side shields to provide protection from objects coming from the front and sides. Most prescription glasses are not impact resistant or provide side protection. If you use prescription glasses, then put an ANSI Z87-1 goggle over them.
*Hearing protection - Hearing protection is required when you are operating stationary powered tools, or someone else is operating machinery in the Wood Shop. There are two types of hearing protection
**Soft Foam earplugs are available. To get the best protection roll the foam with your fingers to condense the plug. Pull the top of your ear up and back with the opposite hand, and insert the plug into your ear canal. Hold the plug with your finger for 20-30 seconds to let the plug expand and fill your ear canal. Your voice will sound muffled if the plug has a good seal.
** Ear muffs are available. These fit over both ears and have sound attenuating material and soft ear cushion to fit around the ears.
*Respiratory Protection - Particulate filter respirator should be used when significant wood dust is being generated (when emptying the dust collector).
*Shoes - Closed toe shoes are required. If working with heavy lumber, consider safety shoes (steel or composite) to protect your toes if material is dropped.

*Gloves should not be worn when using powered equipment (saws, jointers, drills, etc.) Leather gloves can be worn for handling materials, but not when operating machinery.
*Hair and Clothing - There are many moving parts in the Wood Shop that can get caught and pull you into mechanical equipment. Tie back long hair when operating machinery. Also ensure that sleeves, hoodie strings, and any loose clothing is secured.
*Jewelry - Remove rings, bracelets and any other jewelry that could get caught when operating equipment.

====Hazards====
'''The following are a list of hazards that should be considered while working in the Wood Shop.'''
*Wood Dust - Exposure to wood dust has been associated with a variety of adverse health effects including dermatitis, respiratory effects and cancers. Engineering controls include local exhaust ventilation which removes dust at or near the source. To be effective the dust collection system needs to be maintained. Check and clean the dust collection system to ensure they are working properly. Additionally, particulate filters, or respirators can be worn to protect personnel directly.
*Noise - The machinery in the Wood Shop can exceed 85 decibels in noise. This can impair hearing if you are exposed to it over a sustained amount of time. Noise levels can be reduced by maintaining motors and moving parts in top operating conditions, reducing the speed of operation, ensuring the equipment frames are rigid and isolating noisy equipment on rubber footing. Additionally, hearing protection (ear muffs, and ear plugs) can be used to reduce individual exposure to loud noises while working in this area.
*Electrical Hazards - To minimize the danger of electrical hazards, machines must always be grounded, circuit breakers and fuse boxes labeled, cords, cables and plugs must be in good repair, and outlets and switches must be covered. Report any unsafe condition found by using posting on Red-Tag Issues on Slack and putting a filled out red-tag on the equipment to prevent its use until it is repaired.
*Machine Maintenance - Equipment needs to be properly maintained to function safely. If there is any indication that the machine is not functioning properly, don’t use it. Report any unsafe condition found by using posting on Red-Tag Issues on Slack and putting a filled out red-tag and/or lock-out/tag-out device on the equipment to prevent its use until it is repaired.
*Fire and Explosion - Woodworking facilities contain large quantities of fuel in the form of woods, wood products, sawdust, and flammable materials such as paints, oils finishes, solvents, etc. Sawdust can ignite and burn far more easily than whole pieces of lumber. Regular maintenance must be done to ensure that dust is not accumulating in the area. Electrical panels must be kept clear, fire extinguishers, and exit routes must always be accessible.
*It is important for every user to ensure that they perform effective clean-ups of the equipment and the area to reduce the build up of wood dust, the separation of flammable materials, the proper maintenance of equipment.

====Reporting Issues====

=====Injuries=====
'''If there is a personal injury requiring medical attention, dial 911 and obtain medical treatment. Report any accidents or personal safety issues (including near-misses) as soon as possible with one of these methods:'''
*Call (719)445-6253 and leave a detailed message including:
**Your name and phone number
** Who was injured and their phone number
**Describe the injury, part of body
**Detail what type of medical attention was sought
**Describe how the accident occurred (including the equipment that was being used.
*Send a direct message to an Executive Director on Slack
**Lisa MacNicol and/or Mathew Palfenier
*Send an email to contact@pikespeakmakerspace.org
**Include all the same information listed above

=====Equipment Issues=====
Red-Tag Equipment – If equipment needs repairs, place a red-tag on it and report it via the Pikes Peak Makerspace Slack, # red-tag-issues page. This advises others on the malfunctioning equipment and ensures that actions can be taken to service/repair the equipment promptly.

======[[New Member Orientation#Red Tags|Red Tags]]======
'''•''' Any damage to tools or broken equipment MUST be reported in a direct message to a space leader/Director.

'''•''' Use a Red Tag, which can be found in the '''red tag area''', to designate the broken equipment.

'''•''' Additionally, report the issue in our Slack #red-tags channel.

====Equipment Information====
'''Be knowledgeable about the equipment that you are using.'''

=====Laminated Placards=====
*There are laminated placards with detailed equipment information hanging on each of the large Wood Shop power equipment. These can also be found in the PPM Wiki under Wood Shop- Training (e.g., PPM Jointer Safety and Operations)
*More detailed information can be found on the PPM Wiki/Wood Shop page. Vendor supplied Operation, Instruction, and parts lists can be found as links on that page. Most equipment manuals have specific information on capabilities, maintenance, adjustments, and parts lists. Use the specific equipment manual for setup, changing blades, auxiliary attachments, alignments, and general maintenance.

=====Getting Help=====

* Use the #wood-shop channel on Slack to get help with specific equipment.

*Utilize tutorial videos on-line that provide general information on many of the Wood Shop tools, techniques, and safeguards.

====Dust Collection and Air Handler====
'''Woodworking creates wood chips, dust and fine dust. There are three reasons for dust collection.'''
*Fine particulate matter is a health hazard that can be a respiratory irritant in the near-term, and a more serious health condition with long-term exposure.
*Fire Danger – A Wood Shop without dust collection has combustible dust everywhere, floors, tools, light fixtures, machinery housing, furnaces, electrical boxes. The amount of dust increases the chance for a fire start or acceleration if in contact with heaters, hot fixtures, machine housing, etc.
*Annoyance – True craftsmen work to precision high quality standards. Chips and dust can impact accuracy, joinery, final finishes, and the quality of the final product. Dust in machinery means more maintenance is needed. Plus, people prefer to work in clean environments.

====Reclaimed Materials Usage====
===== Use Metal Detector=====
Scan the Wood for Metal - Use a hand-held metal detector wand on all reclaimed wood stock. It will locate remaining screws, nails and other metal parts. Any identified metal needs to be removed prior to cutting or shaping on woodworking equipment.

=====Upcycled Wood=====
Don’t bring any wood that has lead paint, bugs, or toxic materials to PPM Wood Shop. Paint must be removed prior to bringing to PPM for any up-cycled lumber project. Many pallets are treated with toxic pesticides, such as methyl bromide. Additionally, there can be residuals of toxic chemicals left on pallets, or bacteria from food shipments. Here are some resources about reclaimed wood:

https://earth911.com/health/how-to-safely-use-pallet-wood/

https://rockinwoodusa.com/is-reclaimed-wood-safe/

Recycling wood has ecological and aesthetic value. But, only if it is not exposing you and PPM members to hazardous materials.

====Banned Materials====
The equipment in the Wood Shop is configured with blades and bits for working with the following materials:

*Solid wood
*Plywood
* MDF (medium density fiberboard)
*Upcycled/recycled wood (see caution on use above)

These materials are not compatible with the blades and bits in the Wood Shop:
*Plastics
*Metals
*Composite decking material (e.g. Trex)

=====Paint or Solvents=====
Do not apply Paints or Solvents in the Wood Shop. There are too many combustible materials and the odor is bothersome.

* Use the ventilated room, outdoors, or other location for applying paints or solvent based finishes.

====Check-in/ Check-out form====
'''All woodshop users are required to use the Check-in/ Check-out form when using the shop areas.'''

====Project Storage====
Project storage is extremely limited and therefore must be carefully managed. Keep your project out of the way, and do not leave it unattended for multiple days or it is subject to removal.

'''All projects left in the woodshop must be labeled with green Project Storage tags.'''

====Clean-up====
'''It is said, “Woodworking projects tend to have 3 parts: Plan it. Build it. Clean up after it.”'''

If you do not have time to clean up, you do not have time to build it.
#Clean-up the area and equipment that you used. All equipment should be ready for the next user to walk right up and use.
#Return all hand tools to their proper location after use. If you don't know where it goes, ask an area leader. This rule applies to all areas of our Makerspace.
#Go to the '''Cleaning Sequence''' sheets hanging on the Wood Shop door. More details below.

=====Cleaning Sequence (Required)=====
To ensure that the deep cleaning of the space is maintained, all members are required to do a cleaning task from the sequence flip chat.

If you have comments about the cleaning sequence, leave a note on the Check-out form.

==About Pikes Peak Makerspace==
'''Official Logo:'''

[[File:1_to_1_logo.png|alt=|frameless|200x200px]]

• We are a membership composed of Builders, Tinkerers, Engineers, Artists, Entrepreneurs, Designers, and Educators all mashed up and revolutionizing creativity in the Pikes Peak Region. We provide a facility with space and equipment for people to create physical items for fun and for education. PPM also is a place to gather interested people for all manner of classes and instruction.

• We are tapped into and support the Colorado Springs startup community.

• Pikes Peak Makerspace is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
 
 
The famous inventor Nikola Tesla has some local history in Colorado Springs.

In the 1890s, Tesla conducted high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments here. A small plaque on Pikes Peak Avenue just west of downtown Colorado Springs (and only a minute or so by car from our Makerspace) recognizes his accomplishments. These days you might catch a member's Tesla car, other electric car or electric bicycle in our parking lot.

== Mission Statement==
Pikes Peak Makerspace is a community of cooperative hobbyists and early-stage entrepreneurs that empowers members to turn ideas into reality. We strive to provide access to tools and resources to confidently and safely design, develop and make.

Our goal is simple: Walk in with an idea, walk out with it in your hand.

==Vision Statement==
We exist to catalyze positive change, drive economic growth and social progress by empowering individuals to unleash their full potential.

We imagine a future where Pikes Peak Makerspace is the go-to destination for makers* in the Pikes Peak Region seeking access to resources and knowledge, enabling them to turn their concepts into reality.

Through our commitment to fostering a supportive, inclusive, and collaborative community, we will continue to expand our assets and capabilities to meet the evolving needs of the members.

==Maker Definition==
<nowiki>*</nowiki>A maker is someone who defines themselves by their ability to turn ideas into reality through creativity, innovation, and hands-on skills. Makers are typically driven by a desire to create and solve problems, using tools, materials, and technology to bring their visions to life. They often have a passion for a particular field or hobby, such as woodworking, electronics, or crafting, and may be self-taught or have formal training in their area of expertise. Makers take pride in their ability to think outside the box and find unique solutions to challenges, often experimenting with new techniques and materials to achieve their goals. They may collaborate with other makers, sharing ideas and knowledge to create something greater than what they could achieve alone. Overall, being a maker is more than just a hobby or profession - it is a mindset and a way of life that values creativity, ingenuity, and hands-on problem-solving.

Wood Shop — SawStop table saw

2023-03-05T01:14:42Z

Lisa: /* Powering on the SawStop */

[[File:Level_3_badge.png|alt=Level 3 badge|left|frameless|100x100px]]

The SawStop Tablesaw is a level 3 tool in the [[Wood Shop| Wood Shop Area ]]. Which requires individual certification before use.

The saw cannot be turned on without scanning the RFID card of a certified member in the TESLA system.

 
== Saw Stop Orientation ==

=== How to Become Certified ===
The SawStop is a powerful and precise table saw with advanced safety features. Only members who have completed the following are permitted to use the SawStop.

# Be a member in good standing that is certified to use the Wood Shop.
# Pass the SawStop Orientation Quiz by clicking this link here: https://forms.gle/rj4KknEj7ZKubrvi8
# Attend an in-person, hands-on SawStop class ($50)

=== Getting Started ===
'''<big>By using this tool, you accept responsibility for safe operation and agree to pay for brake and blade replacements required due to false activation of the safety system.</big>'''

==== <big>Powering on the SawStop</big> ====
<big>'''Before using the SawStop table saw, read the [https://www.sawstop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/M_ICS_WEB.pdf user manual] and become familiar with the saw's controls and features.'''</big>
* The SawStop table saw will not turn on without scanning the RFID card of an authorized user.
* Scan your door card on the TESLA box to enable the saw and wait for the ready-to-operate lights to turn green.
* Use the paddle switch to turn on and off the blade.
* After use, drop the blade into the cabinet, clean the saw, and log off.

==== <big>Operating PPM's SawStop Table Saw</big> ====

* Do not make adjustments to the saw, adjust the fence, or change the blade without shop Captain approval.
* If the brake trips, contact the Woodshop Captains.
* Ensure the blade guards are kept clean and free of debris.
* Use dust collection.
* Report any damage or issues immediately.

==== <big>Operating any Table Saw</big> ====
* Make sure you have no loose clothing, jewelry, or hair that will be anywhere near the blade.
* Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and ear protection, and a dust mask.
* Always use the blade guard and splitter (riving knife) to keep the wood from binding and kicking back during the cut.
* Always be familiar with the location of the Emergency Stop Button, and practice reaching for it from your cutting stance to commit the motion to muscle memory.
* Always ensure the saw is off before making any adjustments to angle or height of the blade.
* Always use the folding outfeed table when ripping plywood or long stock.
* Always use push sticks and push blocks to keep your hands at least 4" away from the blade.
* Never reach over the blade or make contact with the blade while it is in motion.
* Never use the zero clearance insert on angled cuts. It is for 90 degree cuts only.
* Never use the miter gauge and the rip fence at the same time.
* Keep the blade height set between 1/8 to 1/4 inch above the workpiece.
* Do not cut too close to the fence.

==== Avoiding Kickback ====

* Kickback can occur when ripping boards. Keep to the right of the blade line to avoid injury.
* You must always use the rip fence, miter gauge, or crosscut sled. Absolutely no free cuts with the tablesaw.
* Use the blade guards and riving knife.
* Miter gauge must be used on the right of the blade when bevel cutting.

==== Cleaning up and Shutdown ====
*
* Lower the blade into the cabinet after use and clean the saw.
* Clean the blade guards after each use with compressed air.
* Inspect blade, and notify shop Captain if the blade needs to be cleaned.
* Dust off the surface and clean around the base after each use.
* Close the dust door below the table surface (?)
* Don’t leave any scraps - dispose of them in the bin or dumpster.
* Put all accessories (moisture meter, metal detector, miter gauge) back in the appropiate location.
* The SawStop should be perfectly clean and ready for the next user when you are done.
* Log out and clean up after each use or risk losing access to the saw.

==== SawStop Captain Duties ====

===== Maintenance Inspections =====
* Keep the saw's blade and guards clean and free of debris to ensure optimal performance and safety.
* Check the tightness of all bolts, screws, and other fasteners regularly to ensure that the saw remains securely in place.
* Replace worn or damaged parts as soon as possible to maintain the saw's performance and safety.
* Regularly inspect the saw for any signs of wear, damage, or other issues that could impact its performance or safety.

===== Hands-on SawStop class =====
Instructors of the hands-on SawStop class will cover the following.
*
*
*
*
*
*

* How to check material for conductivity and avoid false triggers.
* The normal blade guard is used for rips and crosscuts.
* The instructor will show you how to install the riving knife for non-thru cuts or rabbets.
* The limit rod should remain on the blade guard.
* The kickback pawls can be enabled or disabled depending on your needs.
* The blade height should be set so that the gullet is above the wood piece.

==SawStop Flesh Detection ==
The 5HP SawStop Industrial Cabinet Saw is a high-quality saw that is designed for safety and performance.

It features a flesh detection technology that can quickly stop the blade in the event of accidental contact with a user's skin.

* In the event of flesh detection, a single use cartridge fires and seizes the blade before the user is injured.
* Both the cartridge and blade must be replaced before the SawStop can be used again.

=== Avoiding False Triggers ===
Although uncommon, it is possible to have a false flesh detection. '''Users are responsible for the expense of brake and blade replacements required due to false activation of the safety system (about $150).'''

False triggers are caused by conductivity. One way to check if your material is conductive is to hold it against the blade with the saw off and look at the indication lights. If red, it will trigger the blade brake. If green, that part of the material is unlikely to trigger.
# '''Moisture in the Wood''' can cause false triggers in the SawStop's flesh detection technology. To avoid false triggers from moisture, it's important to properly test the moisture content of the wood before cutting and to ensure that the moisture content is below 10%. Here are the steps to properly test the moisture content.
## Use the moisture meter: You will need a moisture meter to accurately measure the moisture content of the wood. There are a variety of moisture meters available, ranging from simple pin-style meters to more advanced meters with digital displays.
## Test several locations: It's important to test several locations on the piece of wood, as the moisture content can vary from one area to another. Aim to test at least 3-4 different spots on each piece of wood.
## Take readings: Place the moisture meter probe on the surface of the wood and take a reading. Repeat this process for each of the test locations.
## Evaluate the results: Compare the readings from each location to determine the average moisture content of the wood. Ideally, the moisture content should be below 10% to reduce the likelihood of a false trigger. If the moisture content is higher than 10%, allow the wood to dry out further before cutting it on the SawStop table saw.
##* It's important to note that moisture meters are not foolproof and can sometimes give inaccurate readings. However, they are still a valuable tool for monitoring the moisture content of wood and reducing the risk of false triggers.
##* By properly testing the moisture content of the wood before cutting and ensuring that the moisture content is below 10%, you can reduce the likelihood of a false trigger due to moisture and ensure a safe and successful cutting experience with the SawStop table saw.
# '''Laser-Cut/Engraved Wood''' can cause false triggers and should not be used on the SawStop tablesaw. The carbon is conductive and can trigger the cartridge
# '''Treated Lumber''' can cause a false trigger because of the copper used in the treatment.
# '''Metal''' - Hitting a nail, screw, or staple will trigger the cartridge and you are responsible for the $150 replacement cost. Use the metal detection wand to ensure there is no metal in your wood! However, this is no guarantee as non-ferrous metals like aluminum can trigger the flesh detection system. (ie: insulating styrofoam with a aluminum foil lining)
Access to the flesh detection bypass keys may be requested from the Executive Director.

Wood Shop — SawStop table saw

2023-03-05T00:57:20Z

Lisa: /* Getting Started */

[[File:Level_3_badge.png|alt=Level 3 badge|left|frameless|100x100px]]

The SawStop Tablesaw is a level 3 tool in the [[Wood Shop| Wood Shop Area ]]. Which requires individual certification before use.

The saw cannot be turned on without scanning the RFID card of a certified member in the TESLA system.

 
== Saw Stop Orientation ==

=== How to Become Certified ===
The SawStop is a powerful and precise table saw with advanced safety features. Only members who have completed the following are permitted to use the SawStop.

# Be a member in good standing that is certified to use the Wood Shop.
# Pass the SawStop Orientation Quiz by clicking this link here: https://forms.gle/rj4KknEj7ZKubrvi8
# Attend an in-person, hands-on SawStop class ($50)

=== Getting Started ===
'''By using this tool, you accept responsibility for safe operation and agree to pay for brake and blade replacements required due to false activation of the safety system.'''

==== Powering on the SawStop ====
'''Before using the SawStop table saw, read the [https://www.sawstop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/M_ICS_WEB.pdf user manual] and become familiar with the saw's controls and features.'''

* The SawStop table saw will not turn on without scanning the RFID card of an authorized user.
* Scan your door card on the TESLA box to enable the saw and wait for the ready-to-operate lights to turn green.
* Use the paddle switch to turn on and off the blade.
* After use, drop the blade into the cabinet, clean the saw, and log off.

==== Operating PPM's SawStop Table Saw ====

* Do not make adjustments to the saw, adjust the fence, or change the blade without shop Captain approval.
* If the brake trips, contact the Woodshop Captains.
* Ensure the blade guards are kept clean and free of debris.
* Use dust collection.
* Report any damage or issues immediately.

==== Operating any Table Saw ====
* Make sure you have no loose clothing, jewelry, or hair that will be anywhere near the blade.
* Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and ear protection, and a dust mask.
* Always use the blade guard and splitter (riving knife) to keep the wood from binding and kicking back during the cut.
* Always be familiar with the location of the Emergency Stop Button, and practice reaching for it from your cutting stance to commit the motion to muscle memory.
* Always ensure the saw is off before making any adjustments to angle or height of the blade.
* Always use the folding outfeed table when ripping plywood or long stock.
* Always use push sticks and push blocks to keep your hands at least 4" away from the blade.
* Never reach over the blade or make contact with the blade while it is in motion.
* Never use the zero clearance insert on angled cuts. It is for 90 degree cuts only.
* Never use the miter gauge and the rip fence at the same time.
* Keep the blade height set between 1/8 to 1/4 inch above the workpiece.
* Do not cut too close to the fence.

==== Avoiding Kickback ====

* Kickback can occur when ripping boards. Keep to the right of the blade line to avoid injury.
* You must always use the rip fence, miter gauge, or crosscut sled. Absolutely no free cuts with the tablesaw.
* Use the blade guards and riving knife.
* Miter gauge must be used on the right of the blade when bevel cutting.

==== Cleaning up and Shutdown ====
*
* Lower the blade into the cabinet after use and clean the saw.
* Clean the blade guards after each use with compressed air.
* Inspect blade, and notify shop Captain if the blade needs to be cleaned.
* Dust off the surface and clean around the base after each use.
* Close the dust door below the table surface (?)
* Don’t leave any scraps - dispose of them in the bin or dumpster.
* Put all accessories (moisture meter, metal detector, miter gauge) back in the appropiate location.
* The SawStop should be perfectly clean and ready for the next user when you are done.
* Log out and clean up after each use or risk losing access to the saw.

==== SawStop Captain Duties ====

===== Maintenance Inspections =====
* Keep the saw's blade and guards clean and free of debris to ensure optimal performance and safety.
* Check the tightness of all bolts, screws, and other fasteners regularly to ensure that the saw remains securely in place.
* Replace worn or damaged parts as soon as possible to maintain the saw's performance and safety.
* Regularly inspect the saw for any signs of wear, damage, or other issues that could impact its performance or safety.

===== Hands-on SawStop class =====
Instructors of the hands-on SawStop class will cover the following.
*
*
*
*
*
*

* How to check material for conductivity and avoid false triggers.
* The normal blade guard is used for rips and crosscuts.
* The instructor will show you how to install the riving knife for non-thru cuts or rabbets.
* The limit rod should remain on the blade guard.
* The kickback pawls can be enabled or disabled depending on your needs.
* The blade height should be set so that the gullet is above the wood piece.

==SawStop Flesh Detection ==
The 5HP SawStop Industrial Cabinet Saw is a high-quality saw that is designed for safety and performance.

It features a flesh detection technology that can quickly stop the blade in the event of accidental contact with a user's skin.

* In the event of flesh detection, a single use cartridge fires and seizes the blade before the user is injured.
* Both the cartridge and blade must be replaced before the SawStop can be used again.

=== Avoiding False Triggers ===
Although uncommon, it is possible to have a false flesh detection. '''Users are responsible for the expense of brake and blade replacements required due to false activation of the safety system (about $150).'''

False triggers are caused by conductivity. One way to check if your material is conductive is to hold it against the blade with the saw off and look at the indication lights. If red, it will trigger the blade brake. If green, that part of the material is unlikely to trigger.
# '''Moisture in the Wood''' can cause false triggers in the SawStop's flesh detection technology. To avoid false triggers from moisture, it's important to properly test the moisture content of the wood before cutting and to ensure that the moisture content is below 10%. Here are the steps to properly test the moisture content.
## Use the moisture meter: You will need a moisture meter to accurately measure the moisture content of the wood. There are a variety of moisture meters available, ranging from simple pin-style meters to more advanced meters with digital displays.
## Test several locations: It's important to test several locations on the piece of wood, as the moisture content can vary from one area to another. Aim to test at least 3-4 different spots on each piece of wood.
## Take readings: Place the moisture meter probe on the surface of the wood and take a reading. Repeat this process for each of the test locations.
## Evaluate the results: Compare the readings from each location to determine the average moisture content of the wood. Ideally, the moisture content should be below 10% to reduce the likelihood of a false trigger. If the moisture content is higher than 10%, allow the wood to dry out further before cutting it on the SawStop table saw.
##* It's important to note that moisture meters are not foolproof and can sometimes give inaccurate readings. However, they are still a valuable tool for monitoring the moisture content of wood and reducing the risk of false triggers.
##* By properly testing the moisture content of the wood before cutting and ensuring that the moisture content is below 10%, you can reduce the likelihood of a false trigger due to moisture and ensure a safe and successful cutting experience with the SawStop table saw.
# '''Laser-Cut/Engraved Wood''' can cause false triggers and should not be used on the SawStop tablesaw. The carbon is conductive and can trigger the cartridge
# '''Treated Lumber''' can cause a false trigger because of the copper used in the treatment.
# '''Metal''' - Hitting a nail, screw, or staple will trigger the cartridge and you are responsible for the $150 replacement cost. Use the metal detection wand to ensure there is no metal in your wood! However, this is no guarantee as non-ferrous metals like aluminum can trigger the flesh detection system. (ie: insulating styrofoam with a aluminum foil lining)
Access to the flesh detection bypass keys may be requested from the Executive Director.

==Commercial Use ==
Pikes Peak Makerspace is a great place to prototype, experiment, and develop your product ideas. When it comes to production runs, the priorities of the organization may require limiting access to the equipment for commercial ventures. The organization exists as a hackerspace and is not designed as a production shop.

The Pikes Peak Makerspace is based on open source ideals and thus encourages its membership to embrace those ideals as well, however members do reserve the rights to all of their creations.

==Loaning of Tools & Equipment To The Makerspace==

##Terms or conditions of the loan
#As the owner, if you must be contacted for others to use your tool, you must clearly document this requirement on the tool.
#If a personal item on loan requires training to be used, training sessions must be offered at least once per month or the item will be subject to removal.
#Equipment is loaned subject to the understanding that it is preferable for PPM to own their equipment, rather than borrow it. PPM may seek to buy equipment in order to replace loaned items, which are then returned.
#Loaned items may be returned at any time, by request of the owner or as determined by the Shop Operations Committee.
#PPM is NOT responsible for maintenance of loaned equipment, but may maintain it as determined by the Shop Operations Committee.
#PPM is NOT responsible for the damage, theft, or loss of equipment. However, efforts will be made to provide reasonably secure storage.

==Commercial Use ==
Pikes Peak Makerspace is a great place to prototype, experiment, and develop your product ideas. When it comes to production runs, the priorities of the organization may require limiting access to the equipment for commercial ventures. The organization exists as a hackerspace and is not designed as a production shop.

The Pikes Peak Makerspace is based on open source ideals and thus encourages its membership to embrace those ideals as well, however members do reserve the rights to all of their creations.

==Loaning of Tools & Equipment To The Makerspace==

##Terms or conditions of the loan
#As the owner, if you must be contacted for others to use your tool, you must clearly document this requirement on the tool.
#If a personal item on loan requires training to be used, training sessions must be offered at least once per month or the item will be subject to removal.
#Equipment is loaned subject to the understanding that it is preferable for PPM to own their equipment, rather than borrow it. PPM may seek to buy equipment in order to replace loaned items, which are then returned.
#Loaned items may be returned at any time, by request of the owner or as determined by the Shop Operations Committee.
#PPM is NOT responsible for maintenance of loaned equipment, but may maintain it as determined by the Shop Operations Committee.
#PPM is NOT responsible for the damage, theft, or loss of equipment. However, efforts will be made to provide reasonably secure storage.

==Commercial Use ==
Pikes Peak Makerspace is a great place to prototype, experiment, and develop your product ideas. When it comes to production runs, the priorities of the organization may require limiting access to the equipment for commercial ventures. The organization exists as a hackerspace and is not designed as a production shop.

The Pikes Peak Makerspace is based on open source ideals and thus encourages its membership to embrace those ideals as well, however members do reserve the rights to all of their creations.

==Loaning of Tools & Equipment To The Makerspace==
Members can give generously to PPM by donating or lending tools or equipment for use in the space.

When equipment is loaned, the following conditions apply:

## Name of owner
##Equipment being loaned
##Serial number if available
##Terms or conditions of the loan
#As the owner, if you must be contacted for others to use your tool, you must clearly document this requirement on the tool.
#If a personal item on loan requires training to be used, training sessions must be offered at least once per month or the item will be subject to removal.
#Equipment is loaned subject to the understanding that it is preferable for PPM to own their equipment, rather than borrow it. PPM may seek to buy equipment in order to replace loaned items, which are then returned.
#Loaned items may be returned at any time, by request of the owner or as determined by the Shop Operations Committee.
#PPM is NOT responsible for maintenance of loaned equipment, but may maintain it as determined by the Shop Operations Committee.
#PPM is NOT responsible for the damage, theft, or loss of equipment. However, efforts will be made to provide reasonably secure storage.

==Prohibited Items==

The Captain serves as the main point of contact for the program area or tool.

If you are interested in becoming a captain, please contact the Executive Director or a member of the Board of Directors.

Please see [[Shared Tools and Map|Shared Equipment]] for the current directory of PPM Program Areas.

==Committees==
Pikes Peak Makerspace is a volunteer driven creative space. Everything good that happens is because a member or a committee saw the potential and took the initiative to make it happen.

#The Committee chair person will be responsible for maintaining the list of committee members and providing reports on the status and activities of the committee.
# There is no limit to the number of committees a member can serve on.
#If the number of committee members drops below 5, the committee will have a grace period of 30 days in order to recruit enough members to remain active.
#Each committee is expected to communicate activities to members via Slack, signage, or the wiki. The following information should always be kept current and available for all members to see.
##The name of the committee chair
##A list of all active members

==Commercial Use ==
Pikes Peak Makerspace is a great place to prototype, experiment, and develop your product ideas. When it comes to production runs, the priorities of the organization may require limiting access to the equipment for commercial ventures. The organization exists as a hackerspace and is not designed as a production shop.

The Pikes Peak Makerspace is based on open source ideals and thus encourages its membership to embrace those ideals as well, however members do reserve the rights to all of their creations.

==Loaning of Tools & Equipment To The Makerspace==
Members can give generously to PPM by donating or lending tools or equipment for use in the space.

When equipment is loaned, the following conditions apply:

#All loaned equipment must be marked or labeled with the owner's name and two or more points of contact.
#The owner must contact the Shop Operations Chair so that they can record the following information:
## Name of owner
##Equipment being loaned
##Serial number if available
##Terms or conditions of the loan
#As the owner, if you must be contacted for others to use your tool, you must clearly document this requirement on the tool.
#If a personal item on loan requires training to be used, training sessions must be offered at least once per month or the item will be subject to removal.
#Equipment is loaned subject to the understanding that it is preferable for PPM to own their equipment, rather than borrow it. PPM may seek to buy equipment in order to replace loaned items, which are then returned.
#Loaned items may be returned at any time, by request of the owner or as determined by the Shop Operations Committee.
#PPM is NOT responsible for maintenance of loaned equipment, but may maintain it as determined by the Shop Operations Committee.
#PPM is NOT responsible for the damage, theft, or loss of equipment. However, efforts will be made to provide reasonably secure storage.

==Prohibited Items==
PPM members are prohibited from carrying, making, or cleaning firearms inside of the space. Additionally, firearm parts, ammunition, and modifications may not be done inside the space.

Objects that may be perceived as firearms must be cleared with the Executive Director and/or the Board of Directors.

==Commercial Use ==
Pikes Peak Makerspace is a great place to prototype, experiment, and develop your product ideas. When it comes to production runs, the priorities of the organization may require limiting access to the equipment for commercial ventures. The organization exists as a hackerspace and is not designed as a production shop.

The Pikes Peak Makerspace is based on open source ideals and thus encourages its membership to embrace those ideals as well, however members do reserve the rights to all of their creations.

==Loaning of Tools & Equipment To The Makerspace==
Members can give generously to PPM by donating or lending tools or equipment for use in the space.

When equipment is loaned, the following conditions apply:

#All loaned equipment must be marked or labeled with the owner's name and two or more points of contact.
#The owner must contact the Shop Operations Chair so that they can record the following information:
## Name of owner
##Equipment being loaned
##Serial number if available
##Terms or conditions of the loan
#As the owner, if you must be contacted for others to use your tool, you must clearly document this requirement on the tool.
#If a personal item on loan requires training to be used, training sessions must be offered at least once per month or the item will be subject to removal.
#Equipment is loaned subject to the understanding that it is preferable for PPM to own their equipment, rather than borrow it. PPM may seek to buy equipment in order to replace loaned items, which are then returned.
#Loaned items may be returned at any time, by request of the owner or as determined by the Shop Operations Committee.
#PPM is NOT responsible for maintenance of loaned equipment, but may maintain it as determined by the Shop Operations Committee.
#PPM is NOT responsible for the damage, theft, or loss of equipment. However, efforts will be made to provide reasonably secure storage.

==Commercial Use==
Pikes Peak Makerspace is a great place to prototype, experiment, and develop your product ideas. When it comes to production runs, the priorities of the organization may require limiting access to the equipment for commercial ventures. The organization exists as a hackerspace and is not designed as a production shop.

The Pikes Peak Makerspace is based on open source ideals and thus encourages its membership to embrace those ideals as well, however members do reserve the rights to all of their creations.

==Loaning of Tools & Equipment To The Makerspace==
Members can generously provide tools or equipment for use in the space, either by donating them outright or by loaning them.

When equipment is loaned, the following conditions apply:

#All loaned equipment must be marked or labeled with the owner's name
#The owner must contact the Shop Operations so that they can record the following information:
##Name of owner
##Equipment being loaned
##Serial number if available
##Terms or conditions of the loan
#Equipment is loaned subject to the understanding that it is preferable for PPM to own their equipment, rather than borrow it. PPM may seek to buy equipment in order to replace loaned items, which are then returned.
#Loaned items may be returned at any time, by request of the owner or as determined by the Shop Operations Committee.
#PPM is NOT responsible for maintenance of loaned equipment, but may maintain it as determined by the Shop Operations Committee.
#PPM is NOT responsible for the damage, theft, or loss of equipment. However, efforts will be made to provide reasonably secure storage.

== Prohibited Items ==
PPM members are prohibited from carrying, making, or cleaning firearms inside of the space. Additionally, firearm parts, ammunition, and modifications may not be done inside the space.

Objects that may be perceived as firearms must be cleared with the Executive Director and/or the Board of Directors.

==Donations==
THIS POLICY TO BE UPDATED
# ''Donations of usable items must be approved by the committee in charge of the location in which the item will be stored/used.''
# ''A "freebie shelf" is available for items that are free to use/take for all members. The shelf will be periodically cleared by the Ops committee.''
# ''Donations for the "freebie shelf" will be accepted so long as there is available free space in the designated area, and as long as it does not conflict with rule #5.''
# ''Donations for the "freebie shelf" that do not fit cannot be left in the space unless approved by the Ops committee''
# ''The following items will not be accepted for donation:''

##''If the project is deemed successful, accomplishing the stated goal, any unspent allocations will be returned to the committee fund in charge of the project, unspent donations will be returned the contributors according to the proportion of the donation.''
# ''Donations of motor vehicles must have written approval of 3 board members.''

==''Finances''==
''THIS POLICY TO BE UPDATED''
#''No authorization or allocation can be made in excess of the moneys available in the General Fund.''
#''Unless an exception has been given by the Board of Directors, funds which have already been allocated for spending from the General Fund may be spent from the line of credit as long as interest is not accrued and an outstanding balance is not kept.''
#''All profits from the sales of items are placed into a related committee's fund (the committee responsible for the item, if applicable) at the Treasurer's discretion.''
#''Refunds for membership dues paid within the last 30 days can be authorized ONLY at the discretion of the Treasurer or President.''
#''Pikes Peak Makerspace must receive a written invoice or receipt prior to payment for any services or goods. This only applies to vendors who regularly provide a written invoice (or receipt) to their customers.

==Commercial Use==
Pikes Peak Makerspace is a great place to prototype, experiment, and develop your product ideas. When it comes to production runs, the priorities of the organization may require limiting access to the equipment for commercial ventures. The organization exists as a hackerspace and is not designed as a production shop.

The Pikes Peak Makerspace is based on open source ideals and thus encourages its membership to embrace those ideals as well, however members do reserve the rights to all of their creations.

==Loaning of Tools & Equipment To The Makerspace==
Members can generously provide tools or equipment for use in the space, either by donating them outright or by loaning them.

When equipment is loaned, the following conditions apply:

#All loaned equipment must be marked or labeled with the owner's name
#The owner must contact the Shop Operations so that they can record the following information:
##Name of owner
##Equipment being loaned
##Serial number if available
##Terms or conditions of the loan
#Equipment is loaned subject to the understanding that it is preferable for PPM to own their equipment, rather than borrow it. PPM may seek to buy equipment in order to replace loaned items, which are then returned.
#Loaned items may be returned at any time, by request of the owner or as determined by the Shop Operations Committee.
#PPM is NOT responsible for maintenance of loaned equipment, but may maintain it as determined by the Shop Operations Committee.
#PPM is NOT responsible for the damage, theft, or loss of equipment. However, efforts will be made to provide reasonably secure storage.

== Prohibited Items ==
PPM members are prohibited from carrying, making, or cleaning firearms inside of the space. Additionally, firearm parts, ammunition, and modifications may not be done inside the space.

Objects that may be perceived as firearms must be cleared with the Executive Director and/or the Board of Directors.

==Donations==
THIS POLICY TO BE UPDATED
# ''Donations of usable items must be approved by the committee in charge of the location in which the item will be stored/used.''
# ''A "freebie shelf" is available for items that are free to use/take for all members. The shelf will be periodically cleared by the Ops committee.''
# ''Donations for the "freebie shelf" will be accepted so long as there is available free space in the designated area, and as long as it does not conflict with rule #5.''
# ''Donations for the "freebie shelf" that do not fit cannot be left in the space unless approved by the Ops committee''
# ''The following items will not be accepted for donation:''
## ''CRT monitors''
## ''Paint''
#''Donations to a project are only spent on that project and are spent prior to any DMS allocated money to the same project.''
##''If the project is deemed unsuccessful all remaining funds will be returned to the source.''
##''Allocated money will be returned to the source fund, if more overages remain the money will be returned to the contributor in proportion to their donation.''
##''If the project is deemed successful, accomplishing the stated goal, any unspent allocations will be returned to the committee fund in charge of the project, unspent donations will be returned the contributors according to the proportion of the donation.''
# ''Donations of motor vehicles must have written approval of 3 board members.''

==''Finances''==
''THIS POLICY TO BE UPDATED''
#''No authorization or allocation can be made in excess of the moneys available in the General Fund.''
#''Unless an exception has been given by the Board of Directors, funds which have already been allocated for spending from the General Fund may be spent from the line of credit as long as interest is not accrued and an outstanding balance is not kept.''
#''All profits from the sales of items are placed into a related committee's fund (the committee responsible for the item, if applicable) at the Treasurer's discretion.''
#''Refunds for membership dues paid within the last 30 days can be authorized ONLY at the discretion of the Treasurer or President.''
#''Pikes Peak Makerspace must receive a written invoice or receipt prior to payment for any services or goods. This only applies to vendors who regularly provide a written invoice (or receipt) to their customers. If a best effort is not made to provide the treasurer with a written invoice (or receipt) from the respective vendor:''
##''Pikes Peak Makerspace will not provide payment for the respective goods or services.''
##''If the transaction was already purchased with funds belonging to the Pikes Peak Makerspace, the amount of the respective transaction must be refunded to the Pikes Peak Makerspace.''
#''All property purchases equal to or greater than $500 and having an useful life of one year or more are to be capitalized.''
#''All individual items purchased for less than $500 and having a useful life of less than one year are to be expensed.''
#''Only current procurement officers are allowed to have an active DMS credit card.''
##''After changes in procurement officers, it is the responsibility of the Secretary to ensure the credit card company's records.''
#''Only the current President, Secretary, and Treasurer are allowed to be authorized signers on DMS bank accounts.''
##''After a change in President, Secretary, or Treasurer, it is the responsibility of the Secretary to ensure the bank's records are updated.''

==Commercial Use==
Pikes Peak Makerspace is a great place to prototype, experiment, and develop your product ideas. When it comes to production runs, the priorities of the organization may require limiting access to the equipment for commercial ventures. The organization exists as a hackerspace and is not designed as a production shop.

The Pikes Peak Makerspace is based on open source ideals and thus encourages its membership to embrace those ideals as well, however members do reserve the rights to all of their creations.

==Loaning of Tools & Equipment To The Makerspace==
Members can generously provide tools or equipment for use in the space, either by donating them outright or by loaning them.

When equipment is loaned, the following conditions apply:

#All loaned equipment must be marked or labeled with the owner's name
#The owner must contact the Shop Operations so that they can record the following information:
##Name of owner
##Equipment being loaned
##Serial number if available
##Terms or conditions of the loan
#Equipment is loaned subject to the understanding that it is preferable for PPM to own their equipment, rather than borrow it. PPM may seek to buy equipment in order to replace loaned items, which are then returned.
#Loaned items may be returned at any time, by request of the owner or as determined by the Shop Operations Committee.
#PPM is NOT responsible for maintenance of loaned equipment, but may maintain it as determined by the Shop Operations Committee.
#PPM is NOT responsible for the damage, theft, or loss of equipment. However, efforts will be made to provide reasonably secure storage.

== Prohibited Items ==
PPM members are prohibited from carrying, making, or cleaning firearms inside of the space. Additionally, firearm parts, ammunition, and modifications may not be done inside the space.

# ''A "freebie shelf" is available for items that are free to use/take for all members. The shelf will be periodically cleared by the Ops committee.''
# ''Donations for the "freebie shelf" will be accepted so long as there is available free space in the designated area, and as long as it does not conflict with rule #5.''

Pikes Peak Makerspace is a great place to prototype, experiment, and develop your product ideas. When it comes to production runs, the priorities of the organization may require limiting access to the equipment for commercial ventures. The organization exists as a hackerspace and is not designed as a production shop.

The Pikes Peak Makerspace is based on open source ideals and thus encourages its membership to embrace those ideals as well, however members do reserve the rights to all of their creations.

==Commercial Use==
Pikes Peak Makerspace is a great place to prototype, experiment, and develop your product ideas. When it comes to production runs, the priorities of the organization may require limiting access to the equipment for commercial ventures. The organization exists as a hackerspace and is not designed as a production shop.

The Pikes Peak Makerspace is based on open source ideals and thus encourages its membership to embrace those ideals as well, however members do reserve the rights to all of their creations.

==Loaning of Tools & Equipment To The Makerspace==
Members can generously provide tools or equipment for use in the space, either by donating them outright or by loaning them.

When equipment is loaned, the following conditions apply:

#The owner must contact the Shop Operations so that they can record the following information:
##Name of owner
##Equipment being loaned
##Serial number if available
##Terms or conditions of the loan
#Equipment is loaned subject to the understanding that it is preferable for PPM to own their equipment, rather than borrow it. PPM may seek to buy equipment in order to replace loaned items, which are then returned.
#Loaned items may be returned at any time, by request of the owner or as determined by the Shop Operations Committee.
#PPM is NOT responsible for maintenance of loaned equipment, but may maintain it as determined by the Shop Operations Committee.
#PPM is NOT responsible for the damage, theft, or loss of equipment. However, efforts will be made to provide reasonably secure storage.

==Commercial Use==
Pikes Peak Makerspace is a great place to prototype, experiment, and develop your product ideas. When it comes to production runs, the priorities of the organization may require limiting access to the equipment for commercial ventures. The organization exists as a hackerspace and is not designed as a production shop.

The Pikes Peak Makerspace is based on open source ideals and thus encourages its membership to embrace those ideals as well, however members do reserve the rights to all of their creations.

==Loaning of Tools & Equipment To The Makerspace==
Members can generously provide tools or equipment for use in the space, either by donating them outright or by loaning them.

When equipment is loaned, the following conditions apply:

#All loaned equipment must be marked or labeled with the owner's name
#The owner must contact the Shop Operations so that they can record the following information:
##Name of owner
##Equipment being loaned
##Serial number if available
##Terms or conditions of the loan
#Equipment is loaned subject to the understanding that it is preferable for PPM to own their equipment, rather than borrow it. PPM may seek to buy equipment in order to replace loaned items, which are then returned.
#Loaned items may be returned at any time, by request of the owner or as determined by the Shop Operations Committee.
#PPM is NOT responsible for maintenance of loaned equipment, but may maintain it as determined by the Shop Operations Committee.
#PPM is NOT responsible for the damage, theft, or loss of equipment. However, efforts will be made to provide reasonably secure storage.

== Prohibited Items ==
PPM members are prohibited from carrying, making, or cleaning firearms inside of the space. Additionally, firearm parts, ammunition, and modifications may not be done inside the space.

Objects that may be perceived as firearms must be cleared with the Executive Director and/or the Board of Directors.

==Donations==
THIS POLICY TO BE UPDATED
# ''Donations of usable items must be approved by the committee in charge of the location in which the item will be stored/used.''
# ''A "freebie shelf" is available for items that are free to use/take for all members. The shelf will be periodically cleared by the Ops committee.''
# ''Donations for the "freebie shelf" will be accepted so long as there is available free space in the designated area, and as long as it does not conflict with rule #5.''
# ''Donations for the "freebie shelf" that do not fit cannot be left in the space unless approved by the Ops committee''
# ''The following items will not be accepted for donation:''
## ''CRT monitors''
## ''Paint''
#''Donations to a project are only spent on that project and are spent prior to any DMS allocated money to the same project.''
##''If the project is deemed unsuccessful all remaining funds will be returned to the source.''
##''Allocated money will be returned to the source fund, if more overages remain the money will be returned to the contributor in proportion to their donation.''
##''If the project is deemed successful, accomplishing the stated goal, any unspent allocations will be returned to the committee fund in charge of the project, unspent donations will be returned the contributors according to the proportion of the donation.''
# ''Donations of motor vehicles must have written approval of 3 board members.''

==''Finances''==
''THIS POLICY TO BE UPDATED''
#''No authorization or allocation can be made in excess of the moneys available in the General Fund.''
#''Unless an exception has been given by the Board of Directors, funds which have already been allocated for spending from the General Fund may be spent from the line of credit as long as interest is not accrued and an outstanding balance is not kept.''
#''All profits from the sales of items are placed into a related committee's fund (the committee responsible for the item, if applicable) at the Treasurer's discretion.''
#''Refunds for membership dues paid within the last 30 days can be authorized ONLY at the discretion of the Treasurer or President.''
#''Pikes Peak Makerspace must receive a written invoice or receipt prior to payment for any services or goods. This only applies to vendors who regularly provide a written invoice (or receipt) to their customers. If a best effort is not made to provide the treasurer with a written invoice (or receipt) from the respective vendor:''
##''Pikes Peak Makerspace will not provide payment for the respective goods or services.''
##''If the transaction was already purchased with funds belonging to the Pikes Peak Makerspace, the amount of the respective transaction must be refunded to the Pikes Peak Makerspace.''
#''All property purchases equal to or greater than $500 and having an useful life of one year or more are to be capitalized.''
#''All individual items purchased for less than $500 and having a useful life of less than one year are to be expensed.''
#''Only current procurement officers are allowed to have an active DMS credit card.''
##''After changes in procurement officers, it is the responsibility of the Secretary to ensure the credit card company's records.''
#''Only the current President, Secretary, and Treasurer are allowed to be authorized signers on DMS bank accounts.''
##''After a change in President, Secretary, or Treasurer, it is the responsibility of the Secretary to ensure the bank's records are updated.''

==Using the Space==

=== If I have a question... ===
As a new member, you'll be learning the ropes and there is a lot to know! There is not always someone available to help, but the answer you seek is probably detailed in the resources our volunteers (members) have created just for you.

This is the preferred sequence of seeking answers and information.

# Check the Wiki*
# Ask members and Area Captains on Slack
# Use the "Contact Us" form on the website
# Ask a Director

<nowiki>*</nowiki>If your question is not on the Wiki and it should be, please let us know!

=== Equipment Access ===
Equipment at PPM is categorized into the following levels:

* Level 1 - No training required

* Level 2 - Training and/or equipment *buy-in* required
* Level 3 - '''Required to be certified''' under supervision of a PPM Captain, or by taking a certification course listed on Meetup

Before using the woodshop, metal shop, 3D printers, lasers, or other PPM owned equipment, you must certify by taking a certification course listed on [https://www.meetup.com/pikespeakmakerspace/events/ Meetup].

If you have previous experience with specific equipment, you can be certified by an area leader but we ask that you still "buy-in" (pay for the course) to the equipment to support the maintenance and upkeep of the machines (ie. saw sharpening, laser lens, print toner, etc)

=== Cleaning Up ===

* Always leave the space better than you found it.

* If you see the trash can is more than 3/4 full, take it out! Don't play jenga with garbage. If you are the first one to see it getting full, you are the one responsible for emptying it.
* Trash bags can be found in the bathrooms.
* The garbage dumpster is located outside the South door.
* Recycling is collected in 96 gallon totes (2 of them) and are picked up every two weeks.

* Always label your project and make sure it is not in the way of other members.

=== Paying for Consumables ===
Things like woodglue, 3D print filament, blue tape, sheet stock for the lasers, etc are not free. Use the QR codes throughout the space, this link [https://ww.bit.ly/ppmstuff www.bit.ly/ppmstuff] , or a cash box with a note about what you used paperclipped to the cash.

===Guest Policy===

====Guest Permissions and Liability Waiver====
As a member, you signed our liability waiver when you created your membership. If you would like to review the waiver, visit [https://Www.bit.ly/ppmwaiver www.bit.ly/ppmwaiver]

Anyone visiting the space for any reason other than a basic tour must sign the liability waiver at [https://Www.bit.ly/ppmwaiver www.bit.ly/ppmwaiver]

* '''This is important for all the below reasons:'''
** It communicates that all guests are responsible for their own safety
** It makes guests consider the "no lifeguard on duty/ swim at your own risk" aspect of the place they are entering
** It gives us (the member signing them in) an opportunity to talk about safety with the guests

Guests may not operate equipment owned by Pikes Peak Makerspace.

Guests must be over 18 years old to sign the liability waiver.

Frequent guests are encouraged to get a membership.

===Member Storage===
It is ideal that you to use the space to build amazing things, no matter the size! However, it is a problem when project builds occupy valuable space in a way that prevents others from using the space. We are not a storage facility.

Therefore, please observe the following practices in regards to storing your project and tools.

#If leaving your project overnight or for multiple nights, make sure it is occupying as little space as possible and that is easy for other members to work around!
#Label your project in process with your name, expected "return to work" date, and phone number or contact information!
#Do not, under any circumstances, leave items untouched for more than 30 days. Anything that you leave here must be picked up and used at minimum once per month or it does not belong here!
#Keep your items organized and easy to move. Overflowing totes are not OK!

===Dedicated Spaces===
Dedicated Spaces are private work areas and should not be entered without permission.

=== '''Computers and Personal Devices''' ===
The computer login information and wi-fi network credentials can be found on white boards in the space. [On the right of the FIRST AID Supply Cabinet]

Login Password: [Written on white board just to the right of the FIRST AID Supply Cabinet]

====PPM Computer Rules====
Please use computers for professional use (no cruising Facebook/ pointless browsing)

Members are not given personal logins or passwords; backup work on an external storage device.

Do not leave any messes in any workspace (anything without a name can be tossed or relocated to lost and found).

==== Share Drive ====
The s:/ drive is a shared network drive available on all PPM computers. All you need to do to enjoy it is create a folder for yourself in the drive!

There are 3 rules:

# Files are removed automatically after 2 months.
# Do not store files in the main folder directory.
# Keep your own backup! We are not responsible if your data becomes lost or corrupted in any way!

'''This shared drive is visible to all members. If you need security, do not use this drive.'''

How To Slack

2022-12-18T14:59:25Z

Lisa: /* What is Slack and Why Do We Use It At Pikes Peak Makerspace? */

== New Members Start Here to Get Started With Slack! ==

=== What is Slack and Why Do We Use It At Pikes Peak Makerspace? ===
Slack is a messaging program used to communicate with members associated within an organization. Pikes Peak Makerspace uses Slack to communicate with all its members about up-coming events, potential jobs to bid for on our job board, to showcase the amazing things that get made in our space, and so much more! Slack is the '''official communication solution''' for the makerspace, so if you’re not apart of it you’re missing out!

'''''Not convinced? Watch [https://youtu.be/phzp_HU2lOg this video] on why you should get onto Slack! (COMING SOON!)'''''

=== How Do I Get Access to Slack? ===
After you register for membership and set up payment through Join It (our membership management software), you will automatically receive an invite, via email, to the makerspace’s Slack workspace. '''So check your email!''' It may be possible that the invite landed in your spam box.

'''''Having trouble? Watch [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2xSJiGDHZY this video] on how to access your Slack account! (COMING SOON!)'''''

=== Should I Introduce Myself on Slack? ===
That’s a great question and '''YES''', you absolutely should! In fact, we have an automated workflow in place that will make introducing yourself super easy and fun!

'''''Want a step by step guide?''' '''Watch [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryJMsNSZIyQ this video] on how to introduce yourself on Slack! (COMING SOON!)'''''

=== What Resources Are on Slack That Can Help Me as a New Member? ===
There is a '''#new-members''' channel that is dedicated for new members. It has great resources on where to start, how we operate, and a great place to ask those inevitable "dumb" questions.

'''''Want a tour of the #new-members channel?''' '''Watch this video on how to view resources on Slack as a new member! (COMING SOON!)'''''

== Channel Rules, Names and Descriptions ==

=== Channel Rules and Good-To-Knows ===

* As a new member, you automatically get joined onto the #general, #random, #showcase, #red-tags-issues, #new-members, #job-board, and #events channels. However, there are other public channels that you can join. We don’t assume that you are interested in every machine or equipment we offer, so you can pick and choose which channels you’d like to be apart of!
* '''Please be mindful of which channel you are posting to!''' We try to keep the discussions based on the descriptions given for each channel. Below is a list of all our public channels created in our Slack workspace. Your post or question should fall into one of the channels below, however, when in doubt, post to the #general channel. This channel is used for general conversations.
* If you need to speak with a director or captain directly, you can send them a direct message on Slack. Some are comfortable with being texted directly or by their personal email address. However, please ask first! As a rule of thumb, Slack is always a safe first option to get in contact with someone at the space. (Even more reason to get on Slack!)

=== Channel Names and Descriptions ===

==== Public Channels ====
#'''#events:''' to plan and organize events and communicate with volunteers regarding event details
#'''#job-board:''' channel to post, discuss, or accept job opportunities either within PPM or from the community
#'''#random:''' non-work banter and water cooler conversation (remove? no one uses it as intended….)
#'''#red-tags-issues:''' channel to announce and discuss repair for equipment and tools that have been red tagged or announce other issues
#'''#showcase:''' channel to showcase your work and receive well deserved praise from your peers!
#'''#general:''' community-wide announcements and makerspace based matters
#'''#new-members:''' channel to answer questions from new ppm members
#'''#ppm-wiki:''' channel to discuss the development of our Wiki
#'''#vending-machine-project:''' channel to discuss the development of "Beverly", our vending machine

==== Workshop Areas ====
#'''#3d-printing:''' channel to discuss topics of or ask support for 3D printing machines
#'''#cnc-machine:''' channel to discuss topics of or ask support for the CNC machine
#'''#electronics:''' channel to discuss topics of or ask support for electronics
#'''#fusion-360:''' channel to discuss topics of or ask support for Fusion 360
#'''#large-format-printer:''' channel to discuss topics of or ask support for the large format printer
#'''#laser-cutter:''' channel to discuss topics of or ask support for the BOSS & Zing laser cutters
#'''#metal-shop:''' channel to discuss topics of or ask support for the metal shop
#'''#vinyl-cutter:''' channel to discuss topics of or ask support for the vinyl cutter (remove; add to another channel? no discussions at all…)
#'''#wood-shop:''' channel to discuss topics of or ask support for the wood shop

== Basic Slack Functions ==

=== How do you... ===

==== ...mention someone or mention everyone in a channel? ====
If you want to direct a message to someone within a post, you can use the @ symbol and the member's Slack username.

For example, If you wanted to ask the administrator to add you to a private channel, you could post this in the ''#general'' channel,

''"Hi! Can I be added to the Tesla access project channel? '''@PPM Administrator'''"''

That message will directly notify the member! (You could also send the member a direct message!)

If you wanted to message everyone in a specific channel, you can use the '''@everyone,''' '''@channel, or @here:'''

* @everyone -> notifies everyone in the #general channel
* @channel -> notifies all members in a channel
* @here -> notifies only the active members in a channel

'''Please use tags like this cautiously!''' They are big noise makers in Slack and members get annoyed when they are being hit with messages constantly and worse if they are not very important.

A good example of when to use the above tags is when there is a machine down or broken equipment in a work area and you want to notify the right people. We can send a post in the ''#red-tags-issues'' channel like this,

''"Hey '''@channel'''! The band saw is red-tagged due to the blade being off alignment. Our wood shop captain is working on getting it fixed. Please do not use until repaired! Will post here with repair updates".''

==== ...join a channel ====
As a member you can see and join all public channels for this workspace. Feel free to search through the public channels listed on the left side navigation bar and choose to join which channels you want! Need more guidance? Here is a [https://slack.com/help/articles/205239967-Join-a-channel link] on how to join a channel.

==== ...mute or leave a channel ====
Getting too many notifications? Here is a [https://slack.com/help/articles/204411433-Mute-channels-and-direct-messages#:~:text=%5B%23channel%20name%5D.-,Open%20the%20channel%20you'd%20like%20to%20mute.,toggle%20next%20to%20Mute%20Channel link] on how to mute channel notifications. Not interested in being in a channel anymore? Here is a [https://slack.com/help/articles/201375146-Leave-a-channel link] on how to leave a channel.

The famous inventor Nikola Tesla has some local history in Colorado Springs.

In the 1890s, Tesla conducted high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments here. A small plaque on Pikes Peak Avenue just west of downtown Colorado Springs (and only a minute or so by car from our Makerspace) recognizes his accomplishments. These days you might catch a member's Tesla car, other electric car or electric bicycle in our parking lot.

==About Pikes Peak Makerspace==
'''Official Logo:'''

[[File:1_to_1_logo.png|alt=|frameless|200x200px]]

• We are a membership composed of Builders, Tinkerers, Engineers, Artists, Entrepreneurs, Designers, and Educators all mashed up and revolutionizing creativity in the Pikes Peak Region. We provide a facility with space and equipment for people to create physical items for fun and for education. PPM also is a place to gather interested people for all manner of classes and instruction.

• We are tapped into and support the Colorado Springs startup community.

• Pikes Peak Makerspace is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
 
 
The famous inventor Nikola Tesla has some local history in Colorado Springs.

In the 1890s, Tesla conducted high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments here. A small plaque on Pikes Peak Avenue just west of downtown Colorado Springs (and only a minute or so by car from our Makerspace) recognizes his accomplishments. These days you might catch a member's Tesla car, other electric car or electric bicycle in our parking lot.

==About Pikes Peak Makerspace==
'''Official Logo:'''

[[File:1_to_1_logo.png|alt=|frameless|200x200px]]

• We are a membership composed of Builders, Tinkerers, Engineers, Artists, Entrepreneurs, Designers, and Educators all mashed up and revolutionizing creativity in the Pikes Peak Region. We provide a facility with space and equipment for people to create physical items for fun and for education. PPM also is a place to gather interested people for all manner of classes and instruction.

• We are tapped into and support the Colorado Springs startup community.

• Pikes Peak Makerspace is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
 
 
The famous inventor Nikola Tesla has some local history in Colorado Springs.

In the 1890s, Tesla conducted high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments here. A small plaque on Pikes Peak Avenue just west of downtown Colorado Springs (and only a minute or so by car from our Makerspace) recognizes his accomplishments. These days you might catch a member's Tesla car, other electric car or electric bicycle in our parking lot.
