Monday, July 6, 2026 from 7:04pm to 8:04pm

Adrian B, Don C, John N, Steve W. Fred F., Raj U, Bob F, Patrick, Alex S, Jeremy B.

1. Patrick C: A quick update on the foundry upgrades coming in the near future
2. Adrian: CNC Shop upgrade
3. Adrian: CNC Scrap Storage
4. Adrian: Dust collection in basement
5. Raj: Showcase street cleanup sign.
6. Alex S: I took Tom's great class on the CNC metal milling. I'm very excited to use it. Unfortunately it seems a bit underpowered for steel, which is what I work in. There's a lot of repetitive cutting for my projects. So I wonder if there's any discussion of getting a system with the torque to handle some decent steel milling? I would be happy to participate in an exploratory group to look at it. 
7. Alex S: Has there been any discussion about installing fee-based lockers for material and personal equipment storage? Could it be a revenue generator? Is there much call for improved storage?
   

1. Foundry upgrades Mike is adding fill to the outdoor area
2. Additional electric to be installed
3. Adding a Coal forge - new capabilities for foundry members 
4. Bob - Any issue with smoke that we need to be worried about? (esp fire)
5. Patrick - probably won't use it on very windy days.
6. Likely adding a class for the coal forge
7. Team made additional tools for the shop last week
8. Adrian: CNC Shop upgrade
9. Shark CNC upgrade - added a variable speed router to the machine. It’s compatible with the existing software (GRBL). No additional training necessary
10. Adrian: Scrap wood storage - reorganize the sheet goods storage on the south wall (small area) will be cleared up in the next couple of weeks. There is also some square tubing to be evaluated and maybe used in welding.
11. Adrian: Adding a dust collector for the 6090 - new piping to reduce dust in the shop
12. Dust collection: Air quality impacting the users in the CNC, electronics, Jewelry area. Also noise concerns in those areas. Looking at moving an air cleaner to the basement.
13. Bob: is the south basement an option? (Expensive…)
14. Look at bags on the existing units and consider replacing.
15. Raj: Showcase a possible street cleanup sign. Awarded by Tucson Clean and Beautiful and the city (TTRPG and Xerocraft) after three cleanups. 
16. Also: Art show in Sept  - RAj to send a note to Don & Jeremy
17. Alex S: CNC Novatech metal milling power concerns - 
18. Tom is primary on the machine - defer the discussion to fall?
19. Alex is willing to help donate toward a new machine
20. Adrian: They are designing a new metal CNC router - implementation is tbd (David Combs)
21. Cody: Where will it be located? Adrian: basement intent is to use 110v.
22. Alex S: Lockers - Has been previously discussed - 
23. Don Yes - questions about location, cost size and program management
24. John : What about the outside space under the back deck? To the right?  (Fire Exit area. Would need approval for that.)
25. Is there demand? Maybe a survey to ask members what size and possible $$
26. Cody: Space in the yard next to the gate. (Belongs to WAMO? Maybe?  Would need to contact Mike Runde and Wamo)
