-== How to Use Our Tools ==
-For the vast majority of our tools (listed below), we require you 1. be a member and 2. be certified on the tool before you use it. If Certification Required = Yes on the tool's page here, then please get certified before using that tool.
-You can find the list of people certified on the tool's wiki page or in hard copy near the physical location of the equipment if we haven't migrated it yet. Most folks will certify you if they have time and you ask nicely, as long as they feel qualified to. Right now, our Safety Czar (or Meister) is Dan "MeisterTek" Meyer, so contact him if you're having trouble locating someone to certify you.
