Member Policies

2026-01-14T14:45:53Z

Jonadair:

== Bylaws and Membership Agreement ==

Your membership is governed by our current Membership Agreement and our Bylaws that are published in [[Member Documents]].

== General Membership ==

age

suspending and rejoining

id

local address

== Family Memberships ==

== Guests ==

=== Kids ===

Kids are welcome in the space but they must be out of the way and not a distraction to other members especially in the woodshop, machine shop, and welding. They absolutely can not freely wander the woodshop while tools are in use. At least have them sit in a chair well away from tool use. Or preferably have them sit in one of the lobby / classrooms.

=== Animals ===

We do not generally allow animals at the space. They are a distraction and hazard to other members and the space can be quite hazardous even to trained humans.

True trained service animals are allowed but we will want to understand what tasks they are trained to assist with. The woodshop, machine shop, and welding are especially difficult environments even for a well-trained service animal.

We want to try to accommodate members' needs and if an animal must be at the space for various reasons, they must be kept in a crate / portable kennel or kept well away from workshops and other members like in the storage areas.

== Behavior ==

In general we expect mostly professional workplace-appropriate behavior from members. We also expect people to follow ''Wheaton's Law'': "Don't be a dick."

Know your audience and be aware of other members. Do not force other members to hear or see things that they don't appreciate just because they are stuck working on a project or using a tool. While we absolutely support the free exchange of ideas, most members don't come to the space to discuss deep topics, politics, pandemics, current events, etc. but to get away from that stuff and work on fun things.

=== Harassment ===

We do our best to enforce our anti-harassment policy but there are clearly grey areas. If you feel that you have been harassed please reach out to a board member and we will do our best to address it but that often involves a conversation and warning to the member involved. We do suspend and cancel memberships in clear cases of harassment.

Your membership agreement defines harassment to include but is not limited to:

* Offensive verbal comments, text, drawings, or other expressions related to race, color, national origin, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, or veteran status.
* Unwelcome sexual content in public spaces. This includes but is not limited to images, video, audio, text, and physical objects.
* Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following.
* Disclosing private personal information without permission. This includes but is not limited to email addresses, phone numbers, and names.
* Harassing photography or recording. Do not photograph people in private situations without permission. No covert photography, recording devices, or hidden cameras are allowed other than those the board of directors has approved for security purposes.
* Intentional disruption of working environment, classes, talks, other events.
* Inappropriate physical contact. Ask before touching another person and treat the absence of a “yes” response as a “no”.
* Unwelcome sexual attention. Do not comment on other’s appearance, body, clothing, etc. without permission.

Hurricane Preparations

2026-01-14T13:50:16Z

Jonadair: added slack channel

The board will make the decision whether to close the space due to weather. For recent storms we have not closed the space but left it to members' individual judgement. This decision will not come until the storm is less than 3 days from landfall.

We do cancel classes and events but often leave it up to the instructor's judgement and comfort level.

There is a <code>#storm</code> channel on our Slack for general storm-related discussion.

== Frequently Ask Questions ==

'''Q: Is the space in a flood zone?'''

Yes. The best guess is that the floor of the building sits at about 11' above sea level. GPS shows somewhere between 3-4 meters. Topo maps show the building right along the 10' line but that was before construction and the building floor is a little above the roadway.

'''Q: Should we cut power to the building?'''

No. We have in the past and it creates more issues than it's worth. If the building has been flooded, nobody should enter until we have confirmed that it is safe.

== General Preparations ==
Whenever a storm forms and has some reasonable potential to impact our location:

* Consider cancelling classes and events
* Move items away from known potential water leaks
** Rollup door in woodshop
** 4933 front door
* Get items off the floor that could be damaged by puddles from roof leak
* Consider tarping high-value tools in case of roof leaks
** Laser engravers
** Embroidery machine
** Sawstop

== Closing the Space ==
When closing the space in the event of a hurricane:
* Cancel [https://www.meetup.com/Tampa-Hackerspace/events/ meetup events]
* Announce closure on email, Slack and social media
* Coordinate members/volunteers show up and:
** Move equipment off of floor (where possible)
** Cover equipment with large garbage bags, plastic drop clothes, tarps, or other plastic sheeting.
** Throw away perishable food items from the refrigerator
** Perform typical lock up procedures
** Lock up
* While away
** Encourage members/volunteers to contribute to crowd sourced shelter database
* After the storm
** Clean up
** Start with critical systems, such as security, and access controls
** Announce space availability on email, Slack and social media

Tools: ShopBot CNC

2025-06-08T02:51:01Z

[[File:shopbot-cnc.jpg|250px|thumb|right|ShopBot CNC]]

== Tool Description ==
The ShopBot is a 3-axis CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) router. It is capable of cutting pieces out of 4 foot by 8 foot sheets of material (i.e. plywood or MDF); Smaller pieces can also be used.

It can make vector cuts (and pockets and drill holes) for shapes like boxes, circles, arcade cabinets, flat-pack furniture, gears, and airplanes; as well as carving 3d models of things like faces, terrain, plaques, ceiling medallions, door panels, or Carbonite prisoners.

== Software ==

=== VCarve ===

We use VCarvePro for layout, toolpath creation, and to save toolpaths with post processing for ShopBot.

VCarvePro can import these formats:
* [http://support.vectric.com/aspire-questions/item/what-vector-file-formats-can-be-imported Vector formats]: DXF, EPS, AI, PDF, SKP, DWG
* [http://support.vectric.com/vcp-questions/item/what-3d-file-formats-can-be-imported-copy 3d formats]: STL, DXF, 3DS, OBJ, SKP, V3M, LWO, 3DM, WRL
* [http://support.vectric.com/aspire-questions/item/can-i-work-image-files These Bitmap formats] can be imported and automatically or manually traced to generate vectors for cutting: BMP, JPG/JPEG, GIF, TIF/TIFF, PNG
* Bitmaps can be converted into 3d models for carving using other tools.
* [http://vector-conversions.com/vectorizing/raster_vs_vector.html The difference between Vector and Raster images.]

Creating or importing vectors in VCarve and assigning them toolpaths is fairly straightforward, once explained. Setting up 3d models requires more tweaking.

Members can get the [http://www.vectric.com/makerspace.html VCarve Pro Makerspace Client] for use on their own computers.
<blockquote>
The Makerspace Client edition will allow users to design from scratch or import their data from other packages and includes the ability to both generate and simulate toolpaths, however it will not save these in a format that can be understood by the CNC machine. To complete this last step though the user can then bring the VCarve Pro files from the Client edition into the Makerspace and save their toolpaths to cut on the Makerspace’s CNC machine using the Makerspace edition of VCarve Pro licensed and installed at that location. [http://www.vectric.com/media/files/products/vcp/makerspace/MakerspaceDocument.pdf (Source and further documentation)]
</blockquote>
Install v11.0 VCarve Trial Version (do not use 11.5). Going to [https://www.vectric.com/free-trial/vcarve-pro https://www.vectric.com/free-trial/vcarve-pro] to will download v11.5 of VCarve Pro Trial Edition. If it is a newer version than that of the hackerspace, see the pinned messages for download links to the correct version(s) (typically from google drive) in #cnc-shopbot channel on THS slack. When prompted to sign up or log in, you can select Download as Guest. Once installed, select "About VCarve Pro Trial Edition..." from the Help menu, then "enter the Makerspace ID" to connect the trial to the Makerspace client. This ID number is also pinned in the #cnc-shopbot channel on THS slack, as a file named <b>THS MakerSpace VCarve Info.txt</b>. This [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwUAs_FY134 video] explains the process.

=== Fusion 360 ===

Many members use [[Classes: Fusion 360|Fusion 360]] for their toolchain (bypassing VCarve). This has been accomplished by going to "Manufacture in Fusion 360 to generate tool paths and export to SBP format." It is recommended you perform an "Air cut", with the router high above your work surface, before performing the actual cut.

== Materials (what to use, and not use, it on) ==
* Wood (MDF, plywood, hard woods, soft woods (pine, poplar), etc)
* High density foam
* Acrylic?
* Metals can't be cut because the spindle (router) doesn't turn slow enough

== General and Special Safety Considerations ==
'''This is not an exhaustive list!
* '''Always wear safety glasses.'''
* '''Read, understand and follow all warning labels, instructions and safety manuals.'''
* Hearing and respiratory protection are recommended.
* The ShopBot may start and move in unexpected ways. Stay well clear of all moving parts during operation. Warn any bystanders before you command the ShopBot to begin a motion.
* The ShopBot's router may create dust, chips, and larger chunks. These may be thrown from the cutter. Be aware of possible projectiles. Always wear safety glasses.

== Classes ==
* Classes are offered on a regular basis.
* Check meetup for the next scheduled class: [https://www.meetup.com/Tampa-Hackerspace/events/ Tampa Hackerspace Meetup]
* Recommended reading: [https://www.v1engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/LMT-Onsrud-CNC-Prod-Routing-Guide.pdf ONSRUD Cutter LP - CNC Production Routing Guide]

* '''Prerequisites'''
** Students must have the ability to generate toolpaths using one of the supported CAM tools (VCarve or Fusion 360). Generating toolpaths is outside the scope of this class.
*** There are separate classes for VCarve and Fusion360.
** Students must have completed woodshop safety before taking this course.
** This meetup is open to paid members only.

== Pre-Use checklist ==
Before using the ShopBot, you should:
* Ensure that the gantry (y-axis) is square to the rest of the ShopBot frame.
* Zero out your X and Y axises to the desired location.
* Ensure you have the desired bit installed in the router.
* Zero out your Z axis.
* Triple check that your intended cut path will not impact any hold-downs
* Wear hearing and eye protection.
* Activate the dust collection vacuum system.
* Before hitting "Cut Part", do a bladder check.
* "Cut Part". You will be prompted to turn on the router. ("Spindle")

== Post-Use Checklist (cleanup, etc) ==
When you have finished using the ShopBot, be sure that you:
* Return the tool to the traditional [0,0] position in the lower-left corner. Zero the axises if they have been changed.
* Install a standard cutter bit if you have changed to a specialized bit.
* Use compressed air to blow dust off the ShopBot itself, the computers, and the work bench.
* Vacuum or sweep wood chips, debris and dust off the bed and the tool.
* Sweep up dust and debris within 4 a foot area around the ShopBot.
* Return any other tools you have used to their storage location.
* Turn off the ShopBot CPU.
* Turn off the NUC (smaller computer).
* Unplug all electrical cords used and return them to stowed condition

== Tool Use ==
Please take a class or ask for individual instruction

== Tips and Tricks ==
For those who are looking to buy Bits, Here are the current Recommended Bits to purchase for your "Tool Box"

Jonadair: Shopbot CNC

== Summary ==
Shopbot CNC

First Aid

2025-05-27T23:37:28Z

Jonadair: added narcan and glucose gel

== Summon Help ==
The absolute most important thing in any serious injury or medical condition is to summon help. Use the panic buttons at the alarm panels (pick "Fire") or hold down one of the stand-alone panic buttons in the woodshop or metal shop / machine shop. Alternatively you can call 911 - the building addresses are at the alarm panels.

EMS should be able to be at our location within 4-10 minutes depending on which station responds and traffic.

== First Aid Kits ==

There are first aid kits in multiple locations within the space. If you notice that any need more supplies, let us know.

We do not provide many medications. We do provide Benedryl for allergic reactions, located in the 4931 kitchen first aid kit.

We now have glucose gel and Narcan in most of the first aid kits. They are both useful tools that we can use before the paramedics arrive.

If you think someone is having a low blood sugar event and is still conscious, it doesn't hurt to give them the gel just in case. There are also solid glucose tablets in the kitchen kit and usually sodas that will work pretty quickly. Just don't give them to someone that's unconscious and may choke.

Narcan is in case of any suspected opioid overdose. Kind of unlikely here but it can make a real difference in the outcome. It also generally does not hurt to give it to someone "just in case".

== Eye Wash Stations==

There are eye wash stations in multiple locations. If you think you have something in your eye, please use the eye wash kits. They expire and need to be replaced anyways.

== Bleeding Control Kits ==

For traumatic injuries, there are two Bleeding Control Kits, located in the woodshop (island in center with the first aid kits and panic button) and in 4931 above the tool cabinets / safety station. These have gloves, EMT shears for cutting away clothing, gauze dressings, and a tourniquet.

With any serious bleeding, key points are:
* Call for help
* Apply pressure to the wound ('''except eye wounds or suspected skull fractures''')
* Elevate the wound above heart level
* Have the injured person lie down and elevate their legs if possible to help prevent shock

This is the kit we have: [https://www.narescue.com/public-access-individual-bleeding-control-kit-nylon.html kit]

This is the instructional sheet (included in the kit): [https://www.narescue.com/downloadable/download/sample/sample_id/2521/ instruction sheet]

This is a demonstration video of a similar kit: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01PuOvMduj0 demo video]

== AEDs ==
We have two AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) for cardiac emergencies. They are located just inside the front doors of 4931 and 4935. If you think someone is possibly having a cardiac issue, please call for help and use these devices. If you have another person tell them to "grab the red AED bag next to the front door". It is very important to move quickly and deploy the device. The device is automated and will not harm someone even if they are not having a cardiac issue.

To use the AED, open the case and press the power button. It will speak voice instructions. There are contact pads in the upper half of the case.

Each AED has a secondary pouch attached with a few additional supplies: a CPR mask for rescue breaths, EMT shears if you need to cut away clothing, gloves, a safety razor if hair prevents attaching the contact pads, and paper towels if moisture prevents applying the pads.

Instructional video for a similar device: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckUvaQ-z4xA video]

Online / Hybrid classes are available for First Aid, CPR, and AED. One provider is
American Red Cross, offering online courses wirh local hands-on skills sessions to
attain certification: [https://www.redcross.org/take-a-class First Aid / CPR / AED training]

Jonadair: /* Safety */

[[File:sawstop.jpg|250px|thumb|right|SawStop]]

The SawStop 10" Professional Cabinet Saw (PCS31230) is a professional-grade table saw with an integrated emergency stop that fires whenever the spinning blade begins to make contact with skin.

The SawStop user manual is on [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E9h2LLiTHFc0PChRQjX8cFL4M4HHeta4/view?usp=sharing Google Drive].

==Safety==

* Read and follow [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E9h2LLiTHFc0PChRQjX8cFL4M4HHeta4/view?usp=sharing the manual]
* Understand the basics of [http://www.startwoodworking.com/post/tablesaw-primer-ripping-and-crosscutting table saw operation]
* Don't crosscut using the fence - use the miter gauge (or a sled)
* Use the blade guard with splitter or the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riving_knife riving knife]
* Use a push stick for narrow cuts
* Wear appropriate protection: safety glasses and possibly hearing and dust protection

==SawStop Safety Brake Feature==

Be aware of the SawStop's safety brake feature. It works by detecting an electrical charge draining from the blade assembly, so as soon as the spinning blade makes enough contact with a person's skin / blood, it drops the blade down and throws a block of aluminum into the blade to stop it.

This can accidentally be activated when sawing wet or other electrically conductive materials or if the blade hits a nail or screw.

Each activation costs about $100 for a new safety cartridge and $80 for a new saw blade. We set aside a budget to periodically replace these because accidents happen. But if we determine that the safety feature was activated without a good reason, we may ask the responsible party to cover the replacement cost.

HP Designjet-T1100ps printer-leebcs writeup

2025-02-13T20:10:26Z

Jonadair: Jonadair moved page HP Designet-T1100ps printer-leebcs writeup to HP Designjet-T1100ps printer-leebcs writeup

I used my Ubuntu 18.04 Linux laptop and the wider (old looking) HP Designet-T1100ps printer. I can't vouch for any other combination, but some of this will still apply.

The printer is/was in the middle of the whiteboard wall in the large room in 4931.

There is/was a roll of 42 inch "regular" paper on it. There is/was a roll of photo paper in a box under/behind that printer if you really need glossy.

Be aware that some of the colors may be flakey and not "true".

I should probably mention that 42 inches is BIG!Recent discussions in the member meetings have talked about getting rid of this printer and adopting one of the other 2 that are next to it.. So the HP Designet-T1100ps might disappear at some point.There is a long USB cable connected to the printer. All I had to do was plug the usb into my laptop and it just found the driver and was ready to go.

I recommend sitting on the far side of the table and running the USB across so that there is room to pull the printer out from the wall, and so that you can more easily watch (glance up at) it while it is printing.

You will need room to walk behind and in front of the printer.Any of these cause the printer to go through a several minute long cleaning and testing process: Power on; start a print; finish a print; load paper; unload paper; paper jam; yell at the printer; breath too heavily on the printer. It's not that it's sensitive, it just takes a long time, be patient and plan to spend 90 minutes messing with each print. The printing itself seemed surprisingly fast, everything else is slow. Avoid doing the things mentioned.The HP Designet-T1100ps printer has a built in cutter and will cut your print job off when it is finished (with it's post print cleaning).

There is a "basket-thing" between the legs that folds to the front that will catch completed print jobs. Multiple consecutative print jobs do not require the printer to clean itself before cutting and releasing your job. This is probably so it is not turned off after a print but before it can finish self-cleaning.Ink: The policy was "Ink on this printer is expensive. Please donate $X per linear foot of your print job."

However, recent discussion have talked about getting rid of this printer. If we keep the printer and buy more ink, I'm willing to contribute $, but if we're getting rid of it, I am just helping to use up the last of the ink.
Please act as you see fit.

There is a control panel on the top front of the printer. Features like load/unload paper are available there. It also tells you that the paper jammed and to reload it.
NOTE: After you load paper, the control panel wants you to specify the type of paper: photo/heavy/regular/etc.
The new paper is rolled on tubes. There are blue "plugs" that go into the tubes and allow the machine to hold the paper on it's spindle. Make sure the paper is rolled snugly on the tube.

There is a lever on the left top side (looking from the front) of the machine that needs to be operated during loading/unloading. The control panel will tell you this.
Don't drop the photo paper on the floor.If you get a crinkled/torn paper jam or are loading paper, you will probably need to cut the end off first.

I recommend:
* Unload the paper.
* Close the printer lid.
* Pull the paper up over the top of the printer. There are slots that go across the top of the printer that are perpendicular to the paper.
* Use a razorblade riding in these clots to cut the paper straight, all the way across.
* The printer WILL complain if the corners of the paper are messed up. I tried with scissors but my corners weren't square enough, so I used my utility knife. The cut doesn't need to be completely straight, '''but it does need to be square'''
* Loading the paper wasn't hard, but I kept holding my breath, not sure if it worked. Because it took a while and that cleaning cycle.

* The control panel menu has an option to cut the paper. So if you load a ragged, jagged edge, use this option to cut a clean one.

Once I got the driver installed and the paper loaded, I went into the printer properties:
You probably don't want to scale or resize anything. Minimal margins.

= Printer options: =
* Set a custom media size. The paper on the machine is 42 inches wide, and i set the length to...something stupid like 100 inches.
* Paper source is Roll.
* I'm not sure about any color settings.
* I removed top/bottom blank areas, thought you might need it depending on how your image is setup.
Job options:
* probably don't scale to fit (edited)

Software:
I use the GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program. It is an open-source alternative to Photoshop. You would probably do similar things in photoshop.

= Existing document: =
Open your existing large image file in Gimp.

* Image menu --> properties: Verify the size, both in pixels and print size. One of the dimensions will need to be 42 inches or less. Either the height or the width can ultimately be 42 inches. We can rotate it. (see below)

When scaling or resizing, there is a padlock icon. :lock:/:unlock: When this is on/locked it will preserve the width to height ratio. For these operations, you probably want it ON/locked/:lock:Check the edges of the image. There may be undesired whitespace (or non white space) near the edges that you don't want to print.

You can use the rectangle selection tool to select the portion of the large image that you want to print.

* Image menu --> crop to selection: will crop the entire image to just the portion you have selected

* Image menu --> canvas size: To change the size of your canvas
* Image menu --> print size: set the size the image will print as. One of your dimensions has a max length of your paper width.
* Image menu --> Mode: Lets you change the image to grayscale if you don't want color
* Image menu --> Scale image : Lets you rescale the image to a larger or smaller size. Click "scale" to perform this operation. If the size is wrong, Ctrl-Z/undo will undo it. Remember to lock the aspect ratio :lock: when scaling.
Remember: Either the width or the height can be the paper width.

Use the above tools to resize it so that either the width or the height is the paper width (42 inches)If the image is wider than it is tall, use

* Image menu --> Transform --> Rotate 90' clockwise/counter-clockwise: rotate the image 1/4 turn. It doesn't matter with direction you choose.

Test print your layout: Test the layout by printing only 1 or 2 inches tall of this image. For this test print go to

* Image menu --> canvas size: unlock the aspect ratio :unlock: and change the height to either 1 or 2 inches tall. Keep the width at 42 inches.
* Image menu --> Print size: Verify it will only print 1-2 inch in height
* File menu --> Print: make sure the HP-Designjet-T1100ps is selected

Page setup: Make sure the paper size shown is 42 inches wide and some large number tall. if not, you may need to create a custom paper size.
Job: No cover page!!
Print or Print Preview.

The job will take a couple minutes to transfer to the printer.
The printer will then take a few minutes to pre-clean itself.
The job will take a comparably short time to print, probably 1-2 minutes.
The printer will take a few minutes to post-clean.
The printer will cut your job and your thin strip of paper will fall down.Verify that your job looks like it will be correct.
Check that the width is the desired width and not, say 50% or 25% of the desired width.
Check that the color is kinda acceptable.

Now in Gimp, pressing Ctrl-Z/undo should undo the last operation, restoring your document size to the full height.

* Image menu --> canvas size: verify it is the full height
* Image menu --> Print size: verify it is the full height

=Print it!=

* File menu --> Print: make sure the HP-Designjet-T1100ps is selected

Page setup: Make sure the paper size shown is 42 inches wide and some large number tall.
If not, you may need to create a custom paper size.
Job: No cover page!!
Print or Print Preview.

Check that the "catch basket" at the front of the printer is open to catch your job.The job will take a couple minutes to transfer to the printer. The printer will then take a few minutes to pre-clean itself. The job will take a slightly longer time to print, probably 4-10 minutes. The printer will take a few minutes to post-clean. The printer will cut your job and job will fall down. (edited)

=New document:=
Create a new document that is 42 inches (the paper width) wide, and however long you need. You may get a warning about it being a large document and using a lot of memory.Draw your image. Or open something. You can open multiple images and copy-paste parts into your final product. This is left as an exercise for the user.See notes above about resizing.
Perform a test print as above.
Final print as above.

Board of Directors

2025-01-28T01:52:47Z

Jonadair: /* Elections */

Inspiration Labs Inc. is the not-for-profit corporate entity that operates as Tampa Hackerspace (d/b/a). The board of directors is currently made up of seven people. The duties of the directors vary per our bylaws and agreement between the board members.

== Current Directors ==
The current directors are:

* President: Alex Wingeier
* Vice President: Jon Adair
* Executive Director: Scott Boake
* Director or Operations: Peter Harshberger
* Director of Strategy: Bruce Sharp
* Director at Large: Paula Sandusky
* Director at Large: William Stillwell

== Nominations ==

Each seat is up for (re)election every three years on a staggered schedule of 2-3 seats per year. We start taking nominations early in April and they are due one week before the Annual Meeting the first Tuesday of May. To be eligible, you must be a member in good standing for the previous consecutive six months.

== Elections ==

The actual election process depends on the number of nominees per open seat when nominations close.

If there are exactly as many accepted nominations as there are available board seats, no voting is required and the results are known ahead of time.

If there are more accepted nominations than there are available board seats, we collect votes to determine the outcome.

This has not yet happened, but if there are less accepted nominations than available board seats, things get a bit complicated. We will take nominations at the Annual Meeting and vote during the meeting if necessary. If there still aren't enough nominations, the current holder of that board seat may continue to hold it or appoint their own successor. If the seat still isn't filled, the President may appoint someone to that seat.

== Voting ==

Votes are now collected electronically via our website. Details will be sent soon after nominations are closed. Two members validate and tally the votes. The numerical results are not shared with anyone else.

== Bylaws ==
Our [[https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CLakxhGL9uPPWLCuys5ho9BIYf1DRbZO Bylaws]] provide additional information.

Class Laptops

2024-12-03T23:24:38Z

Jonadair:

We have a set of laptops available for classes. They are stored in a rolling laptop cart in the 4935 big classroom.

Please help keep these laptops in a set, ready to use for class. Return them to the proper, labeled place after use.

There is a set of 10 Dell Latitudes running Windows 10. They're a mix of a couple models but are all i5 or i7 and have SSDs and at least 4GB of RAM. Many of them now have dead CMOS batteries and may require either hitting F12 or editing the boot settings when they're first powered on. They need to boot in EFI mode, not legacy BIOS mode.

There is a set of 6 Lenovo Thinkpads (SL510 / R61) and 3 Dell Latitudes running Ubuntu 20.04 (LTS). They are mostly Core 2 Duos or Celerons, have spinning hard drives, and 3-4 GB of RAM. Note that many do not have a functioning battery and will often have a BIOS error on startup. Load the default BIOS settings and things should be fine. The Thinkpad SL510s may show a BIOS password error on startup which is the same issue - load the BIOS defaults and that error goes away.

Hurricane Preparations

2024-09-27T01:20:19Z

Jonadair: added storm links

The board will make the decision whether to close the space due to weather. For recent storms we have not closed the space but left it to members' individual judgement. This decision will not come until the storm is less than 3 days from landfall.

We do cancel classes and events but often leave it up to the instructor's judgement and comfort level.

== Frequently Ask Questions ==

'''Q: Is the space in a flood zone?'''

Yes. The best guess is that the floor of the building sits at about 11' above sea level. GPS shows somewhere between 3-4 meters. Topo maps show the building right along the 10' line but that was before construction and the building floor is a little above the roadway.

'''Q: Should we cut power to the building?'''

No. We have in the past and it creates more issues than it's worth. If the building has been flooded, nobody should enter until we have confirmed that it is safe.

== General Preparations ==
Whenever a storm forms and has some reasonable potential to impact our location:

* Consider cancelling classes and events
* Move items away from known potential water leaks
** Rollup door in woodshop
** 4933 front door
* Get items off the floor that could be damaged by puddles from roof leak
* Consider tarping high-value tools in case of roof leaks
** Laser engravers
** Embroidery machine
** Sawstop

== Closing the Space ==
When closing the space in the event of a hurricane:
* Cancel [https://www.meetup.com/Tampa-Hackerspace/events/ meetup events]
* Announce closure on email, Slack and social media
* Coordinate members/volunteers show up and:
** Move equipment off of floor (where possible)
** Cover equipment with large garbage bags, plastic drop clothes, tarps, or other plastic sheeting.
** Throw away perishable food items from the refrigerator
** Perform typical lock up procedures
** Lock up
* While away
** Encourage members/volunteers to contribute to crowd sourced shelter database
* After the storm
** Clean up
** Start with critical systems, such as security, and access controls
** Announce space availability on email, Slack and social media

Jonadair: moved consumables here to donations section

There are lots of ways to help, here are a few: jump in on one of our current projects to improve the space for everyone, teach a class, help out with "behind the scenes" administration, donate money or supplies.

'''If every member volunteered just 4-6 hours per month, our space would be even more awesome than it is now!'''

Class Laptops

2024-08-15T01:42:02Z

Jonadair:

We have a set of laptops available for classes. They are stored in a rolling laptop cart in the 4935 big classroom.

Please help keep these laptops in a set, ready to use for class. Return them to the proper, labeled place after use.

There is a set of 10 Dell Latitudes running Windows 10. They're a mix of a couple models but are all i5 or i7 and have SSDs and at least 4GB of RAM.

There is a set of 6 Lenovo Thinkpads (SL510 / R61) and 3 Dell Latitudes running Ubuntu 20.04 (LTS). They are mostly Core 2 Duos or Celerons, have spinning hard drives, and 3-4 GB of RAM. Note that many do not have a functioning battery and will often have a BIOS error on startup. Load the default BIOS settings and things should be fine. The Thinkpad SL510s may show a BIOS password error on startup which is the same issue - load the BIOS defaults and that error goes away.

First Aid

2024-08-13T20:37:08Z

Jonadair: /* AEDs */

== Summon Help ==
The absolute most important thing in any serious injury or medical condition is to summon help. Use the panic buttons at the alarm panels (pick "Fire") or hold down one of the stand-alone panic buttons in the woodshop or metal shop / machine shop. Alternatively you can call 911 - the building addresses are at the alarm panels.

EMS should be able to be at our location within 4-10 minutes depending on which station responds and traffic.

== First Aid Kits ==

There are first aid kits in multiple locations within the space. If you notice that any need more supplies, let us know.

The only medication we provide is Benedryl for allergic reactions, located in the 4931 kitchen first aid kit.

== Eye Wash Stations==

There are eye wash stations in multiple locations. If you think you have something in your eye, please use the eye wash kits. They expire and need to be replaced anyways.

== Bleeding Control Kits ==

For traumatic injuries, there are two Bleeding Control Kits, located in the woodshop (island in center with the first aid kits and panic button) and in 4931 above the tool cabinets / safety station. These have gloves, EMT shears for cutting away clothing, gauze dressings, and a tourniquet.

With any serious bleeding, key points are:
* Call for help
* Apply pressure to the wound ('''except eye wounds or suspected skull fractures''')
* Elevate the wound above heart level
* Have the injured person lie down and elevate their legs if possible to help prevent shock

This is the kit we have: [https://www.narescue.com/public-access-individual-bleeding-control-kit-nylon.html kit]

This is the instructional sheet (included in the kit): [https://www.narescue.com/downloadable/download/sample/sample_id/2521/ instruction sheet]

This is a demonstration video of a similar kit: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01PuOvMduj0 demo video]

== AEDs ==
We have two AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) for cardiac emergencies. They are located just inside the front doors of 4931 and 4935. If you think someone is possibly having a cardiac issue, please call for help and use these devices. If you have another person tell them to "grab the red AED bag next to the front door". It is very important to move quickly and deploy the device. The device is automated and will not harm someone even if they are not having a cardiac issue.

To use the AED, open the case and press the power button. It will speak voice instructions. There are contact pads in the upper half of the case.

Each AED has a secondary pouch attached with a few additional supplies: a CPR mask for rescue breaths, EMT shears if you need to cut away clothing, gloves, a safety razor if hair prevents attaching the contact pads, and paper towels if moisture prevents applying the pads.

Instructional video for a similar device: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckUvaQ-z4xA video]

== Training ==

Online / Hybrid classes are available for First Aid, CPR, and AED. One provider is
American Red Cross, offering online courses wirh local hands-on skills sessions to
attain certification: [https://www.redcross.org/take-a-class First Aid / CPR / AED training]

Jonadair: /* Tools */

We require a basic orientation and checkoff class [[Classes: Woodshop safety]] before using '''any''' of the tools in the shop.

The ShopBot CNC, SawStop table saw, miter saw, jointer, planer, and bandsaw require specific certification before use.

'''Please''' refer to the tool manual if you are at all uncertain on proper and safe usage.

Appropriate safety gear is available and '''required''' for tool usage. Safety glasses are '''required''' whenever shop tools are in use -- not just for the tool operator. Hearing protection is suggested for most tools but is '''required''' for the ShopBot and other routers.

Jonadair: /* Tools */

We require a basic orientation and checkoff class [[Classes: Woodshop safety]] before using '''any''' of the tools in the shop.

The ShopBot CNC, SawStop table saw, miter saw, jointer, planer, and bandsaw require specific certification before use.

'''Please''' refer to the tool manual if you are at all uncertain on proper and safe usage.

Appropriate safety gear is available and '''required''' for tool usage. Safety glasses are '''required''' whenever shop tools are in use -- not just for the tool operator. Hearing protection is suggested for most tools but is '''required''' for the ShopBot and other routers.
