Re: Build Space

3450 will be building out of a pair of rooms at our school. They are exclusively ours. We have 2 lofted storage spaces, a small shop room (ironically our mill and lathe are NOT in it) and a "class room" without any desks. We also have a small office and a closet in the hallway between the rooms.

As for tools: Mill, Lathe (both older than any of our mentors but well maintained and in great condition) 3 drill presses, 1 2-ton arbor press, a vertical and horizontal band saw, and a wide variety of hand tools.

My only problem with our shop is that our heating is a little funky. We got the rooms from the school because they weren't in use. Don't know why but the heater doesn't seem to work. It stays above freezing but the average temps are close to 50. If we can't fix it over the winter break we will be investing in some space heaters. (IMHO, a safety related expense)
