<li>Be respectful of others using this space by following [[Tidy Space Policy|TidySpace]] procedures — always fill out a Parking Request form — Name, phone number, email, and date it each time you work on it.</li>

<li>Respect all the tools — Do not '''''ever''''' put your weight behind a piece you're feeding through any power tool. If you ''ever'' see anyone doing this, it's Ok to correct them. Use your hands or a push stick, if appropriate, to move your piece through — the machine will tell you how quickly it wants to work. '''Only use tools you are certified to use.'''</li>

There is usually a Wood Shop authorization once a week, listed on the calendar. The process begins in a canvas course. Go to https://canvas.pumpingstationone.org/courses/40 and self enroll.  There are readings on safety, processes rules and... of course... all of the stationary tools in the basic authorization.  Study the material and take the quizzes.   

Then book a hands on Authorization session in the Canvas Calendar.  Out of courtesy please email Ralph (rebrendler@gmail.com, Paul (paulvanlake @gmail.com)  or Gary (grnewhouse@gmail.com)as appropriate for questions (to let us know that you are in the pipeline, questions, etc).   

Come wearing appropriate clothing and grab a set of eye protection and ear protection when you arrive.

It's extremely likely that this authorization will meet every Thursday at  7:30 pm ... in the Wood Shop  see the ps:1 google calendar.

Only approved proctors may authorize and for the beginning of this new process, Ralph or Paul will lead your HandsOn session. Proctors are identified on the wiki page for each tool requiring authorization. See generally at the bottom of this page [[:Category:Wood Shop]] for a list.

We need to more closely follow PS1 Tidy Space Policy, things are just too crowded and too many "abandoned" projects are using space that should be for authorized temporary storage (up to 30 days). Michelle DeLeon (pistola13d@gmail.com) and Gary Newhouse(grnewhouse@gmail.com) are working to clear up space for you to store your "masterpieces in process".

 

 

 

This green tag*  should be placed on any item, project or materials used for personal or group projects, which are being actively worked and/or are too large to store in personal locker/shelf space. Items with a properly issued parking permit must not be left on a worktable or in a walkway. Items that are left with or without a Parking Permit may be moved to Temporary Storage by anyone at any time. Members are able to write their own ticket for parking, valid for a maximum of 72 hours unless an Area Host agrees to a longer period of time not exceeding 30 days. Members are able to renew Parking Permits themselves given that they are physically in at PS1 to do so. Area Hosts are able to limit renewals at their discretion if appropriate to maintain organization of Temporary Storage.

 

 

 

 

Red tickets (https://github.com/pumpingstationone/ps1-design/blob/master/export/red-parking-tag.pdf) should be placed on any item, project, or materials found in the space without a permit or with an improperly filled or expired permit. If materials are obstructing a walkway, common work areas or work surfaces, or is otherwise stored in a manner that is a hindrance of the use of PS1 by other members, anyone is able to respectfully move items to Temporary Storage where an authorized person will ticket items if they are unclaimed. As stated above, items must be labeled with a Parking Pass and stored properly when not actively being worked on. Personal storage is exempted from the Parking Ticket process and improperly utilized personal storage is covered in its own section below.

 

 

The ticket can be struck by the issue of a valid parking permit, or in the case of space property, proper labeling and storage. Ticketed material may be moved out of the way or placed in Temporary Storage, but must not be moved to Salvage until the 72 hours after the ticket is issued. The issuer, and/or Area Host, accepts the obligation to make a good-faith effort to contact the person responsible for the material (if known) to let them know their material should be retrieved or marked with a valid parking permit. If the owner is legitimately unavailable to take care of their materials within the 72 hours, the issuer and/or Area Host may make arrangements with the owner at their discretion, but are under no obligation to do so.

 

 

 

Salvage is a clearly marked and well lit set of shelves dedicated to almost-trash. The designated spaces are:

We are in the process of implementing this in the Woodshop. We will make every effort to make this transition as easy as possible .. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

<li>''Projects too large for your locker cannot be left in the shop in a manner that makes any tool unusable. (If you have to store your project in the shop, find an out of the way place for it).''</li>

<li>''You '''must''' follow [[Tidy Space Policy|TidySpace]] procedures and fill out a Parking Request form with your name, phone number, and email on your project and any materials that belong to you. Every time you work on it, write the date on your label so the area host knows you haven't abandoned it.''</li>

<li>''If a project is untouched for 30 days, the project will be considered abandoned and be made available to the membership as scrap or thrown away.''</li>

 

''For best results, have all the materials on hand when you start a project and set aside time to finish it quickly so we don't have projects laying all over the shop, half done, for months.''</s>
