Pin looms are small, affordable introductions to weaving that are quite capable of going from tiny and simple projects to much larger objects and garments when pieces are connected. Not terribly expensive, a ton of good resources out there on learning, and a fun way to expand our textile offerings without taking up much space.

Cost would vary based on size and quality of looms and number of books purchased.

Could potentially be a great collaboration project with our woodworkers and save cost!

I'd like to learn how to sharpen a rip saw and crosscut saw.

We have belt sanders in the metal shop that are 1" but not in the wood shop. The 6" belt sander is great for taking off a lot of material and shaping but not good for fine detail and finishing. We have the same issue with the oscillating sander where the rounds and the belts tend to be lower grit sand paper that is good for shaping but not good for finishing. A 1" X 42" belt sander would allow us to use the same belts we sell for the Machine Shop in the wood shop and make getting finer grit and finish sanding on small or awkward shaped projects easier.

More reliable. This is the set NHFPL has: https://www.usabuttons.com/the-machine-250/ and with this cutter: https://www.usabuttons.com/cutters-2/

"BitRunner allows Carbide Motion to control power to your router without the need for you to reach for the power switch each time a program ends or each time a tool change is required.
This new version of BitRunner includes a new lockout pendant so you can manually disable the router during bit changes for additional safety.
Standard vs. Deluxe

We can easily make carts for the TIG and Forge, but each one needs different things and shouldn't really be right next to each other. Having a single cooler isn't really great for the hot work space, and a second cooler would mean we could just make custom carts for all of their related stuff and allow them to be positioned for working.

Very useful for welding circles! https://www.vevor.com/welding-positioner-c_10058/50kg-80w-rotary-weldin…

The space & especially the equipment would benefit of having their own space. This will make sure the machines are kept clean & working properly for years to come. Also fabrics will stay cleaner & free of allergens. Upgraded sewing machines would also benefit the space because they are more versatile.

There are so many random tutorials out there for it, but in the end, they are not cohesive - from beginning to the point where it is useful for working with on our CNC machines. It would just be great to have someone to make the process more clear.

Our current brewing system is.... quirky. Liam and I are able to get good beer out of it but it's hard to clean, and hard to learn. A new all in one brewing system is relatively inexpensive and should be able to make batches quicker and with less to learn.
