==The Plan== The plan is to cover in our weekly sessions the basics of how to: * use fabrication tools: hacksaw, vise, drill press, bench grinder, lathe * use some basic layout tools (machinist's square, scriber, centerpunch) * create and read dimensioned drawings that fully define mechanical parts * understand and follow safe shop practices With a project-based learning approach, the goal is for people to create things they're excited about using in their day-to-day lives. An initial project we're focusing on is making a small, portable book-press suitable for making pocket booklets. While we'll be going over the use of traditional basic shop tools, we also encourage thinking outside the box. === Additional project ideas / activities for consideration: === * Enclosures for electronics projects (we're a bit limited in this regard until we manage to obtain a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_press brake press] and some other basic sheet-metal working tools. * Vegetable scraper * Artwork & artifacts to spruce up the Noisebridge space (lighting fixtures, space organizing thingies...) * Using a sewing machine to make booklets * Making booklets that describe how to make booklets and tools used for making booklets * Sewing shop aprons & fabric tool organizers * Musical instruments (& then maybe segueing into a Friday night jam session with said instruments)
