The woodshop and metalshop can be quite loud, even when wearing proper hearing protection. Sound-absorbing panels will reduce the noise level. More research needed to determine the best placement (closest to which equipment, walls vs. ceilings, etc), panel type (foam, cotton, fabric stretched over wood frames, etc), aesthetics, and cost. Perhaps we can perform a crude test by hanging blankets on the walls.

Magically sew binding (e.g. grosgrain) to the edge of fabric!

I'd be most interested in the 3/4" size, but could poll #textile to see what other people want.

I have an idea for MakeHaven

Install two conduits along side of the building near the windows near the laser cutters going straight up to the roof level… one conduit for ac Power 220vac two phase. 50 Amp service. The second conduit, much larger and wider for all kinds of other cables….

For lending library and for use in digitizing art. With setup in media room for digitizing.

Computers for common use with beefy capabilities appropriate for running high end CAD programs.
