Additional topics raised

• Nick has the lift mounting location taped out on the floor
  • Intends to install columns Friday
  • Wiring can happen shortly after that

• dust collector - Allyn has taken a preliminary look at supplies needed to finish this out
  • if we install outside, a Rubber Maid closet would be an easy way to protect it (in the alley way)

• The Squink discussion has resolved to be a 3D printer acquisition project [1]
  • Joe & Max interested in leading this project, want to acquire a higher end printer
  • It would take 12 months for us to accumulate enough dues funds for this (assuming $2k, and after we fund the current project of the dust collection system)
  • May consider additional fundraising methods for this too
