Quickstart Guide To Gold- and Silver-Leafing

2013-05-11T18:24:51Z

Kflory: Initial draft. Page is still incomplete while I work on other things for awhile.

PAGE IS WIP, 11 May 2013.

= Description =

This page gives a brief overview of how to apply any metallic leaf to a relatively flat surface. It's aimed at the beginner.

See Kevin Flory or Matt Huber for help with basic techniques. Steampunk Steve may be willing to help with advanced gold-leaf projects, such as how to get good results on a 3-d surface.

|-
|Metal leaf
|Papercraft supplies zone in the southwest corner on top of the bench; drawer labeled "Gold Leaf".
|-
|Adhesive Size
|Box labeled "Painting Media" on the shelf on the north wall.
|-
|Sealer (Optional)
|Box labeled "Painting Media" on the shelf on the north wall.
|-
|Foam Brushes
|Box labeled "Foam Brushes" on the shelf on the north wall.
|-
|Paint Thinner (Optional)
|In dripper bottles on top of the brush credenza near the door, or in bulk bottles on the shelf under the sewing machine.
|-
|Wax Paper
|In the same drawer as the gold leaf.
|-
|}

== Notes On Materials ==

The paint thinner is used for cleaning up adhesive size which goes where it shouldn't.

While these techniques may be applicable to tinfoil, metal foil created expressly for gilding is the only material which is guaranteed to behave. It's extremely thin, and available at Michaels or other supply stores.

==To Request a Change in the Craft Room==
If you would like to see changes in the craft room, feel free to contact Kevin Flory. I'm particularly interested in requests for materials or equipment you'd like to see stocked. I'll also take suggestions on new layouts you'd like to see, although I may not be able to honor all requests.

For minor restocking requests, feel free to leave a note or use the whiteboard by the pencil sharpener.
==To Find Help==
If you'd like to find someone to give technical advice on using a specific machine or technique, or are willing to be listed as someone who can help others, please contact Kevin Flory.

Bob Ross Painting Class 2013-03-28

2013-03-10T19:59:13Z

Kflory:

''Page is IN DRAFT.''

== Summary And Links ==

We're doing a Bob Ross painting class!

Will be held:

Saturday, 30 March 2013
2-4:30 PM (14-16.30 EST)

Yelp Class Link:

http://www.yelp.com/events/ferndale-cmye-craft-night-bob-ross-paint-along-mountains

Eventbrite Registration Link:

http://www.yelp.com/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fevent%2F5558224800&s=d3d3d60a6b79e2c0827e9aa8610a088b2582533d8673a21414ae5ef11c535375

== Schedules, Notes, Other Materials ==

Currently headed up by:

* Matt Ohrlein
* Maddie Winans
* Kevin Flory

Class notes from the Yelp class event:

Material fees are $20 and you will get to go home with a painting made by you! Impress your future dinner party guests with your first landscape realism work. If you have a favorite brush or a collection of brushes, feel free to bring them. Wear clothes you are comfortable getting paint on!

== Materials List ==

The materials below are all based on a class size of 15.

We'll need:
* Easels @ 5 (Task List 4/5, Footnote 1)
* Pallettes @ 15 (Task List 3)
* Paints:
** KF: Paint List Here
* Brushes/Knives (@ 15 each)
** Flats: 2", 1"
** Fans: ??
** Pallette Knife: ??
* Brush Cleaning Jars @ 15
* Newspaper @ Lots
* Paper Towel @ 8 Rolls
* Turpentine @ ?
* Canvas @ 15 (size?)

== To-Do ==
''Last updated 10 March 2013''

1. KF: Verify with MO/MW that current class size is being held down to 15.
* If so, who is responsible for closing the event to new registrations?
* If not, are we doing another session(s)? Such a session would need to be scheduled and go on Yelp, right?
2. ??: Notify other I3 members that the space will be in use.
* Notification needs to include at least 1/2 hour pre-setup and 1 hour cleanup, so time would be from 13.30-17.30 (1.30 PM-5.30 PM).
<div id="PalletteTask"></div>
3. ??: Laser-cut 15 large-size pallettes.
* During our practice session week before last, we decided that the current pallettes are too small. We'll need larger ones.
* We suggested that we laser-cut them. Unfortunately, cutting acrylic is out, and the old pallettes were some sort of clear acrylic-like hard plastic, so this isn't going to be as simple as just copying the old pallettes. We could also use wood or buy cheap pallettes; either way, I'm hazy on the details.
<div id="EaselTask1"></div>
4. Check with Mel that she meant to leave behind her really nice easel, currently unassembled in the art room. If yes, then assemble that baby!
<div id="EaselTask2"></div>
5. Make or borrow 5 additional easels.
6. KF: Prototype cardboard boxes in which paintings can be carried home. Where would we GET sheet cardboard? What would the price be?

== Footnotes ==

<div id="EaselFootnote"></div>
Footnote 1. We currently have 8 table easels left over from the last class, plus two more floor easels in the art room (one of which needs to be assembled before use). That means we'll need to make or borrow 5 more.

''Last updated 10 March 2013''

1. KF: Verify with MO/MW that current class size is being held down to 15.
#* If so, who is responsible for closing the event to new registrations?
#* If not, are we doing another session(s)? Such a session would need to be scheduled and go on Yelp, right?
2. ??: Notify other I3 members that the space will be in use.
#* Notification needs to include at least 1/2 hour pre-setup and 1 hour cleanup, so time would be from 13.30-17.30 (1.30 PM-5.30 PM).
<div id="PalletteTask"></div>
3. ??: Laser-cut 15 large-size pallettes.
#* During our practice session week before last, we decided that the current pallettes are too small. We'll need larger ones.
#* We suggested that we laser-cut them. Unfortunately, cutting acrylic is out, and the old pallettes were some sort of clear acrylic-like hard plastic, so this isn't going to be as simple as just copying the old pallettes. We could also use wood or buy cheap pallettes; either way, I'm hazy on the details.
<div id="EaselTask1"></div>
4. Check with Mel that she meant to leave behind her really nice easel, currently unassembled in the art room. If yes, then assemble that baby!
<div id="EaselTask2"></div>
5. Make or borrow 5 additional easels.
6. KF: Prototype cardboard boxes in which paintings can be carried home. Where would we GET sheet cardboard? What would the price be?

== Footnotes ==

<div id="EaselFootnote"></div>
Footnote 1. We currently have 8 table easels left over from the last class, plus two more floor easels in the art room (one of which needs to be assembled before use). That means we'll need to make or borrow 5 more.

== Schedules, Notes, Other Materials ==

Class and organization currently headed up by:
Matt Ohrlein
Maddie Winans
Kevin Flory

Class notes from the Yelp class event:
Material fees are $20 and you will get to go home with a painting made by you! Impress your future dinner party guests with your first landscape realism work. If you have a favorite brush or a collection of brushes, feel free to bring them. Wear clothes you are comfortable getting paint on!

== Materials Lists ==

The materials below are all based on a class size of 15.

We'll need:
Easels @15 (footnote 1)

Footnote 1. We currently have 8 table easels left over from the last class, plus two more floor easels in the art room (one of which needs to be assembled before use). That means we'll need to make or borrow 5 more.

== To-Do ==
'''Last updated 10 March 2013'''

1. KF: Verify with MO/MW that current class size is being held down to 15.
- If so, who is responsible for closing the event to new registrations?
- If not, are we doing another session(s)? Such a session would need to be scheduled and go on Yelp, right?
2. ??: Notify other I3 members that the space will be in use.
- Notification needs to include at least 1/2 hour pre-setup and 1 hour cleanup, so time would be from 13.30-17.30 (1.30 PM-5.30 PM).
3. ??: Laser-cut 15 large-size pallettes.
- During our practice session week before last, we decided that the current pallettes are too small. We'll need larger ones.
- We suggested that we laser-cut them. Unfortunately, cutting acrylic is out, and the old pallettes were some sort of clear acrylic-like hard plastic, so this isn't going to be as simple as just copying the old pallettes. We could also use wood or buy cheap pallettes; either way, I'm hazy on the details.

Mentorship Process Committee 20130203

2013-02-03T21:05:55Z

Kflory:

NOTE 1: This page is TEMPORARY. Please feel free to delete after three months of inactivity.

NOTE 2: I should have called this the '''Mentorship''' committee page. The phrase 'signup' was on my mind. Sorry for the confusion.

= Mentorship Committee =
== '' Working group for adding mentors to the signup process '' ==

== What's On This Page ==

During a strategy meeting on Sunday 27 December 2013, a group of us identified the need for a mentoring system. (The mentor helps ease a new member's transition into I3.)

Current members of the group are:
* Matt Ohrlein
* Maddie Winans
* Matt Arnold
* Roger Slykhouse
* Jody Raiford
* Kevin Flory

This page is the ''clearinghouse for all things mentorial''--in particular, draft documentation related to mentors.

== Existing Documentation Related To Signup ==

* [[HOWTO Sign up a new member]] Very brief page giving high-level overview of signup procedure. Last edit dates to 2010.
* [[HOWTO Close up the space]] The full, current close-out procedure (gets used at the end of the current signup process)
* [[New Member Orientation]] Gives a long FAQ for new members, but no other signup-process materials.
* [[File:NewMember-2.8.docx|NewMember-2.8.docx]] Membership form.
* [[File:Waiver.docx|Waiver.docx]] Current I3 waiver.
* [[File:I3ParkingTicket.pdf|I3ParkingTicket.pdf]] For possible inclusion in new-member email (not otherwise related).
* [[File:I3ParkingPermit.pdf|I3ParkingPermit.pdf]] For possible inclusion in new-member email (not otherwise related).
* [[File:EquipmentEntryForm.pdf|EquipmentEntryForm.pdf]] For possible inclusion in new-member email (not otherwise related).
* [http://www.i3detroit.com/membership|I3 External Website: Membership] Sets out information a total 'stranger' needs to become a member: when to show up for orientation, membership levels, and payment capabilities.

== Uploaded Files (New Documents) ==

Please note that all documents are DRAFT. What that means is that I wrote them in a very informal tone, and the formatting is maddeningly bad. They're draft, though, so feel free to submit revised versions!

* [[File:Draft_NewMemberEmail.20130203.doc‎|Draft_NewMemberEmail.20130203.doc]] Gives proposed (additional) email to be sent during the (proposed) mentor's portion of the signup procedure.
* [[File:Mentor_BriefJobDescription.20130127.doc‎|Mentor_BriefJobDescription.20130127.doc‎]] Gives a brief overview of the proposed new position. NOT a detailed list of responsibilities; NOT a detailed flow of the mentor's role during the signup procedure.

== Procedure Notes ==

The following are ''very'' rough drafts of the current signup procedure and of the proposed new steps involving a mentor.

What makes this different from current documentation is that these steps are broken up so they can be easily checklisted. In particular, I've tried to call out deliverables when possible.

These steps are given in-line so that anyone may annotate or modify them. If you make extensive modifications, please take a backup of the existing text beforehand (plop it in an email, put it at the end of this page, or attach as .txt file).

=== Current Process ===

Note: “Signer-up” is a cumbersome phrase. So is “person doing signup”. I'm going to riff on one of Nate's phrases and call the responsible person the 'Keymaster'. I will refer to the new member-in-process as the 'Noob', and the mentor as the ... 'Mentor'.

The current steps are:
# New Member Form. Noob reads the New Member Form completely. When done reading, Noob completes the fill-in-the-blanks portions of the form. Noob hands form to Keymaster.
# Payment. The Noob may already have made a payment--either via Amazon or other means (gold dust, Italian lirae etc. in payment box). If not, and if Noob indicates interest in paying via Amazon, Keymaster walks Noob through setting up recurring payment. Otherwise, Keymaster guides the Noob over to the payment box and payment forms (while reiterating how easy it is to use Amazon). Amazon link is available on [http://www.i3detroit.com/membership the I3 external website].
# Tour Kick-Off. Keymaster prints two copies of closeout procedure ([[HOWTO Close up the space]]). Then Keymaster either leads Noob on tour of the space, or (preferably) gets someone else to do it while the Keymaster proceeds with the next step.
## Preferably, as per Nate Bezanson's mail, the person running the tour is a recently-joined member. This method lets the recent join consolidate their own knowledge by passing it on to someone else.
# Key creation. The Keymaster burns a key for the new member.
# Data entry. The Keymaster enters the new member into the CRM (using the New Member Form) and creates a Wiki account. The Keymaster sends an invitation to all three Google groups.
# On completion of the Tour, Keymaster presents Noob with key. The two set up the entry code for the new key.

=== Proposed Changes ===

# Formalize the tour portion. In the new process, the Keymaster never leads the tour him/herself if a recently-jointed member is available. Instead, the Keymaster selects a recently-joined member and asks them to do the tour, handing the closeout-procedure printout to the recent member and the new member. Those two perform the closeout procedure while the Keymaster proceeds with data entry and key creation.
# Formalize and write down the key-burning procedure. On the one hand, we don't need to have everyone know how to do this. But wouldn't it be great...?
# Formalize and write down the CRM entry procedure, Wiki account creation procedure, and the Google Groups invite-generation procedure. As for #2, wouldn't it be great if everyone knew how to do this?
# The big change: Addition of a mentor.

These steps follow 3 or 6 in the current procedure, above. They hinge on the addition of a mentor.

# Keymaster selects someone from a (yet-to-be-defined) pool of potential mentors. Keymaster introduces Mentor to Noob, and explains that the mentor will be handling the next part of the process—introducing the Noob to I3 now that all the formalities are completed.
# Mentor and Noob sit down together—preferably in a nice quiet spot—and pull out laptops.
## Hopefully, the Noob has brought a laptop. If not, he/she can be loaned: 1) the Craft Room machine, 2) Nate Bezanson's laptop, or 3) the dedicated laser cutter laptop, if no-one else is already using it.
## Google Groups invite acceptance. If the Noob hasn't already received a welcome email with links to Google Groups, the Mentor sends one. [The Noob should also have received emails from Google Groups itself upon invite generation.] The Mentor then walks the Noob through acceptance of the invite and the Noob's introductory list posting (see next step in proposed changes).
## Since not all new members have any sort of Google account, the Mentor may also have to walk the Noob through setting up a Google account prior to invite acceptance.
## Noob's introductory list posting.
## Noob's introduction to the Wiki. Mentor reviews the Wiki with the Noob. This should at minimum include searching, and probably a pointer to the Bylaws and to the Zone Warden info on the main page. If the Noob has been granted a Wiki account as part of sign-up, it could also cover basic Wiki operations. The rest is optional.
# Next-steps setup. Now the Noob and the Mentor need to find mutually-agreeable times and venues for at least one follow-up meeting. This is essentially a 'how-ya-doin' check to make sure the Noob is able to find everything and is integrating properly. [No calculus jokes, please.]
# Even more stuff. If the Noob is not totally exhausted by this point, there follows a round of introductions to anyone who happens to be wandering by. There may also be a hands-on—this is especially appropriate if the Noob has a goal in mind. (“I want to build a flying toilet”, for instance, would involve tutoring in the appropriate fasteners for porcelain or an introduction to anyone with quadcopter experience. It might even spawn a group discussion on avoiding negative consequences from waste materials venting into the rotors.)

== To-Do ==

* Produce draft documents: Job descriptions for mentor and "signer-up". (It's in quotes because I can't think of a better name. This is the person who does all the initial paperwork and coordinates the noobie's walkthrough. Name suggestions welcome!)

* Product draft document: A clear writeup of the signup procedure, setting forth both how it exists at the current time and our proposed change (the mentor).

# Next-steps setup. Now the Noob and the Mentor need to find mutually-agreeable times and venues for at least one follow-up meeting. This is essentially a 'how-ya-doin' check to make sure the Noob is able to find everything and is integrating properly. [No calculus jokes, please.]
# Even more stuff. If the Noob is not totally exhausted by this point, there follows a round of introductions to anyone who happens to be wandering by. There may also be a hands-on—this is especially appropriate if the Noob has a goal in mind. (“I want to build a flying toilet”, for instance, would involve tutoring in the appropriate fasteners for porcelain or an introduction to anyone with quadcopter experience. It might even spawn a group discussion on avoiding negative consequences from waste materials venting into the rotors.)

Mentorship Process Committee 20130203

2013-02-03T20:59:22Z

Kflory:

NOTE 1: This page is TEMPORARY. Please feel free to delete after three months of inactivity.

NOTE 2: I should have called this the '''Mentorship''' committee page. The phrase 'signup' was on my mind. Sorry for the confusion.

= Mentorship Committee =
== '' Working group for adding mentors to the signup process '' ==

== What's On This Page ==

During a strategy meeting on Sunday 27 December 2013, a group of us identified the need for a mentoring system. (The mentor helps ease a new member's transition into I3.)

Current members of the group are:
* Matt Ohrlein
* Maddie Winans
* Matt Arnold
* Roger Slykhouse
* Jody Raiford
* Kevin Flory

This page is the clearinghouse for all things mentorial--in particular, draft documentation related to mentors.

== To-Do ==
* Produce draft documents: Job descriptions for mentor and "signer-up". (It's in quotes because I can't think of a better name. This is the person who does all the initial paperwork and coordinates the noobie's walkthrough. Name suggestions welcome!)
** Kevin Flory, in process
* Product draft document: A clear writeup of the signup procedure, setting forth both how it exists at the current time and our proposed change (the mentor).
** Kevin Flory, in process
* A flowchart of the signup process, created from the above. (We already ''have'' plenty of documentation on the signup procedure; the purpose of the writeup is to act as input for the flowcharting phase.)
** Kevin Flory, in process
* A version of the close-out procedure with checkboxes, for use on a clipboard
** Kevin Flory, in process
* A version of the close-out procedure, expanded with explanations (and other materials--possibly maps), for use by new members
** Kevin Flory, in process

== Existing Documentation Related To Signup ==
* [[HOWTO Sign up a new member]] Very brief page giving high-level overview of signup procedure. Last edit dates to 2010.
* [[HOWTO Close up the space]] The full, current close-out procedure (gets used at the end of the current signup process)
* [[New Member Orientation]] Gives a long FAQ for new members, but no other signup-process materials.
* [[File:NewMember-2.8.docx|NewMember-2.8.docx]] Membership form.
* [[File:Waiver.docx|Waiver.docx]] Current I3 waiver.
* [[File:I3ParkingTicket.pdf|I3ParkingTicket.pdf]] For possible inclusion in new-member email (not otherwise related).
* [[File:I3ParkingPermit.pdf|I3ParkingPermit.pdf]] For possible inclusion in new-member email (not otherwise related).
* [[File:EquipmentEntryForm.pdf|EquipmentEntryForm.pdf]] For possible inclusion in new-member email (not otherwise related).
* [http://www.i3detroit.com/membership|I3 External Website: Membership] Sets out information a total 'stranger' needs to become a member: when to show up for orientation, membership levels, and payment capabilities.

== New Files ==

Please note that all documents are DRAFT. What that means is that I wrote them in a very informal tone, and the formatting is maddeningly bad. They're draft, though, so feel free to submit revised versions!

* [[File:Draft_NewMemberEmail.20130203.doc‎|Draft_NewMemberEmail.20130203.doc]] Gives proposed (additional) email to be sent during the (proposed) mentor's portion of the signup procedure.
* [[File:Mentor_BriefJobDescription.20130127.doc‎|Mentor_BriefJobDescription.20130127.doc‎]] Gives a brief overview of the proposed new position. NOT a detailed list of responsibilities; NOT a detailed flow of the mentor's role during the signup procedure.

== Inline Documents ==

The following are ''very'' rough drafts of the current signup procedure and of the proposed new steps involving a mentor.

What makes this different from current documentation is that these steps are broken up so they can be easily checklisted. In particular, I've tried to call out deliverables when possible.

These steps are given in-line so that anyone may annotate or modify them. If you make extensive modifications, please take a backup of the existing text beforehand (plop it in an email, put it at the end of this page, or attach as .txt file).

=== Current Process ===

Note: “Signer-up” is a cumbersome phrase. So is “person doing signup”. I'm going to riff on one of Nate's phrases and call the responsible person the 'Keymaster'. I will refer to the new member-in-process as the 'Noob', and the mentor as the ... 'Mentor'.

The current steps are:
# New Member Form. Noob reads the New Member Form completely. When done reading, Noob completes the fill-in-the-blanks portions of the form. Noob hands form to Keymaster.
# Payment. The Noob may already have made a payment--either via Amazon or other means (gold dust, Italian lirae etc. in payment box). If not, and if Noob indicates interest in paying via Amazon, Keymaster walks Noob through setting up recurring payment. Otherwise, Keymaster guides the Noob over to the payment box and payment forms (while reiterating how easy it is to use Amazon). Amazon link is available on [http://www.i3detroit.com/membership|the I3 external website].
# Tour Kick-Off. Keymaster prints two copies of closeout procedure ([[HOWTO Close up the space]]). Then Keymaster either leads Noob on tour of the space, or (preferably) gets someone else to do it while the Keymaster proceeds with the next step.
## Preferably, as per Nate Bezanson's mail, the person running the tour is a recently-joined member. This method lets the recent join consolidate their own knowledge by passing it on to someone else.
# Key creation. The Keymaster burns a key for the new member.
# Data entry. The Keymaster enters the new member into the CRM (using the New Member Form) and creates a Wiki account. The Keymaster sends an invitation to all three Google groups.
# On completion of the Tour, Keymaster presents Noob with key. The two set up the entry code for the new key.

== Proposed Changes ==

# Formalize the tour portion. In the new process, the Keymaster never leads the tour him/herself if a recently-jointed member is available. Instead, the Keymaster selects a recently-joined member and asks them to do the tour, handing the closeout-procedure printout to the recent member and the new member. Those two perform the closeout procedure while the Keymaster proceeds with data entry and key creation.
# Formalize and write down the key-burning procedure. On the one hand, we don't need to have everyone know how to do this. But wouldn't it be great...?
# Formalize and write down the CRM entry procedure, Wiki account creation procedure, and the Google Groups invite-generation procedure. As for #2, wouldn't it be great if everyone knew how to do this?
# The big change: Addition of a mentor.

These steps follow 3 or 6 in the current procedure, above. They hinge on the addition of a mentor.

# Keymaster selects someone from a (yet-to-be-defined) pool of potential mentors. Keymaster introduces Mentor to Noob, and explains that the mentor will be handling the next part of the process—introducing the Noob to I3 now that all the formalities are completed.
# Mentor and Noob sit down together—preferably in a nice quiet spot—and pull out laptops.
## Hopefully, the Noob has brought a laptop. If not, he/she can be loaned: 1) the Craft Room machine, 2) Nate Bezanson's laptop, or 3) the dedicated laser cutter laptop, if no-one else is already using it.
## Google Groups invite acceptance. If the Noob hasn't already received a welcome email with links to Google Groups, the Mentor sends one. [The Noob should also have received emails from Google Groups itself upon invite generation.] The Mentor then walks the Noob through acceptance of the invite and the Noob's introductory list posting (see next step in proposed changes).
## Since not all new members have any sort of Google account, the Mentor may also have to walk the Noob through setting up a Google account prior to invite acceptance.
## Noob's introductory list posting.
## Noob's introduction to the Wiki. Mentor reviews the Wiki with the Noob. This should at minimum include searching, and probably a pointer to the Bylaws and to the Zone Warden info on the main page. If the Noob has been granted a Wiki account as part of sign-up, it could also cover basic Wiki operations. The rest is optional.
# Next-steps setup. Now the Noob and the Mentor need to find mutually-agreeable times and venues for at least one follow-up meeting. This is essentially a 'how-ya-doin' check to make sure the Noob is able to find everything and is integrating properly. [No calculus jokes, please.]
# Even more stuff. If the Noob is not totally exhausted by this point, there follows a round of introductions to anyone who happens to be wandering by. There may also be a hands-on—this is especially appropriate if the Noob has a goal in mind. (“I want to build a flying toilet”, for instance, would involve tutoring in the appropriate fasteners for porcelain or an introduction to anyone with quadcopter experience. It might even spawn a group discussion on avoiding negative consequences from waste materials venting into the rotors.)

Craft Room Inventory: 20121110

2012-12-22T20:43:48Z

Kflory:

IN-PROGRESS, 2012-11-24

[[#MaterialsDiv|Skip To Content]]

== '''Document Purpose''' ==

There's a task (on the task list [[ToDo]]) to clean up the craft room. However, part of the problem with carrying out this task is that the craft room is simply crammed with cool stuff. Most of it isn't out-and-out trash; when you get seriously crafty, the border is permeable.

We don't have enough space for all this stuff. To help the group pare things down, I'm going to start an inventory of what's in here. That'll make it a lot easier to decide what's junk and pitch it, and then organize the remaining stuff for optimal use.

== '''Document Status''' ==

This document is '''in-progress'''. I have been cleaning, labeling, and inventorying in the Craft Room as I have time. The document is ''neither exhaustive nor complete''. Please contact Kevin Flory (419-234-6200) for details on the work I've done so far.

== '''Schedule''' ==

Inventory is planned to conclude Tuesday night. I'll have a tentative plan--what goes, what stays, and where to store what stays--posted to the mailing list by Wednesday 20:00. All concerned parties, I apologize for the short notice! As stated below, any damage I do should be reversible.

'''No actual disposals will take place until at least Saturday + the grace period (1 week).''' If I need to, I will empty my own member storage to hold the [proposed] trash until the grace period has expired. However, due to space restraints during cleaning, it may not be feasible to leave all items out on the work counters with a parking permit for a full contiguous week, as required by the [[Standing Rules Rewrite 2011-03#Handling Abandoned Property at i3Detroit|Standing Rules]] on disposing of orphaned items. I will be posting lists of items planned for disposal to the mailing list, to this Wiki page, and as a physical list in the craft room.

== '''Don't Trash It, Bro!''' ==

See [[#ProjectsAndRandomUnlabeledStuff|below]] for the current [non-final] list of trashables. If you wish to claim a trashable--or think that it should continue to live in the craft room--you should do one of the following:
# take it from the lost and found
# contact me directly
# write a note, attach it to the item, and leave it out on a workbench in the Craft Room.

No known maintenance info...except for the standard rule of acrylic paint: Never, never, never let paint dry in the brush after use. It ruins standard brushes, and I'm guessing it would ruin an airbrush, especially if there are any moving or adjustable parts which come in direct contact with paint.

I need to take more photos and post them along with a link or two to some sort of airbrush how-to. I've never used one myself, so until I've accessed that content and played around with the airbrush, this page will remain a stub.
