** Decide what belongs and what goes away
** Create a mini-limbo for the lounge?

=== What have you been hacking ===
=== What have you been hacking ===
 
** Will is getting stuff to make the fridge smart with a Wii Fit board and a Raspberry Pi. It'll notify Will about what runs out in the fridge.
* Shelly has a few more drawings for her dragon coloring book
* Brian has plans to build a vacuum-forming machine
** Trying to figure out where it would live - maybe in the old hot metals spot because of power
** It needs some clearance when on, but can roll into the wall
** Also discussed safety features like a deadman switch
** Does it need ventilation? If that area ends up with a paint booth, ventilation could be already built in
*** Also considering a portable fume extractor in general for the space. Expensive.
**** There's one for the laser that didn't end up working so well. Weak. Could it be blocked? Holes in the hoses? Ron worked on it a bit.
* Ron welded back together the vertical frame for the panel saw
* Plasma cutter was malfunctioning, torch issues
