MakeHaven Newsletter
The idea is to create a monthly newsletter we can send to interested individuals to give them digestable chunks of progress happening at MakeHaven. The content could include:
Printing on Wood Signage Mural/Collage
The idea would be to take Ben's experiment/prototype as inspiration/guidance with the original Makezine blog post and create a large piece of wall art/signage for the space.

Tool envy -- Shapeoko
I love robots. I love computers. And Im starting to love tools the more I get to try to improve on my n00b skillz. So when I get a chance to see tools and computers together that I can have access to in my own house, garage, or makerspace that I am happily a member of, I think this may deserve a look as something to add to the space.
