Hi All,<br>
<br>
Deb has asked me to put onto Facebook a fundraising effort to try<br>
to fundraise to purchase some bikes for our members who travel to Zambia<br>
with the goal of leaving it for the Ag Center for their use when EWB<br>
members aren't on site. I have a updated the EWB-HSV FB status to reflect<br>
this goal, if all of you on Facebook could share the status to spread the<br>
word that would be great.<br>
<br>
Note about Sharing Status: If you just click share, you will only be<br>
sharing the Zambikes website and none of the verbage of the status stating<br>
our goals and how-to. Please copy and paste the status onto your own<br>
status when you share.<br>
<br>
Also, it would be great if anyone knows how to track such donations if we<br>
could keep the Facebook updated as to how much we are raising and how much<br>
remaining we need to raise. Does anyone have access to our EWB account<br>
that could track this? I also think it would be great if us members<br>
started off by donated $10 (more or less depending on your own volition) to<br>
get the ball rolling. Please, as stated on the FB page, donate in the name<br>
of Zambikes so that we can track these donations correctly. If everyone<br>
on this email listing donated $10, that's already one bike down! And a<br>
good start to encourage more donations. A friend at work has already given<br>
me $10, and so I'll be going onto our paypal site to donate $20 already :)<br>
<br>
Feel free to email me with any comments/suggestions etc.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Amanda<br>

Chainmail??? I don't know what that is. Is that one of those emails that'll<br>
say "pass this email to 25 people and you'll have good luck for 25 days?"<br>

<br>
We've gotten some very positive responses, and yet we have to close<br>

<br>
We looking forward to seeing all of you at the conference!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<br>
Hello all!<br>
A while back I was working on seriously upgrading the ventilation system<br>
for the laser cutter and electronics lab. I got through the design phase,<br>
but sort of lost steam and interest just shy of actually ordering and<br>
installing the parts, in part due to a temporary hiatus I was taking after<br>
getting 'burned out' playing with the laser cutter (pun intended). Well,<br>
now I'm back at it and the last time I tried to use the laser cutter it<br>
gave off some very stinky vapors, and after my throat started tingling I<br>
was acutely reminded of the need to finish this project. Respirator masks<br>
shouldn't be required attire for the laser cutter room.<br>
<br>
I remember the first time I got really into using the laser cutter I<br>
started to develop a cough after a few weeks, and now sometimes just being<br>
in the fab lab a few hours after someone has been cutting something, you<br>
can just sort of smell the death hanging in the air (only 'mostly'<br>
hyperbole). I addition to the laser cutter, this upgrade would also add<br>
ventilation and fume removal capabilities to the electronics work area and<br>
soldering stations, whose fumes are less pungent and immediately<br>
irritating, but are still not exactly healthy and need to be taken care of<br>
. I know some of us like to joke around about the "delicious fumes" and<br>
whatnot, but in all honesty this is a very real safety hazard that is long<br>
past due to be dealt with.<br>
<br>
My picks for equipment, pricing, and some research notes and links are on<br>
the wiki at the link below.<br>
<a href="https://256.makerslocal.org/wiki/40_Watt_Laser_Cutter#Ventilation_Improvement" target="_blank">https://256.makerslocal.org/wiki/40_Watt_Laser_Cutter#Ventilation_Improvement</a><br>
<br>
For those of you too lazy to click the link, here's the cliffnotes version of<br>
the "Finalized" Materials List:<br>
1x 8" InLine blower Fan @ $120<br>
3x 8" ducting @ $25 each = $75<br>
1x Blower Speed Controller @ $22<br>
Total cost ? $217 ? $30 (for hookers and blow)<br>
<br>
*Anyone who wants to throw some money into the hat to help with the cost<br>
would be much appreciated!*<br>
<br>
I'm hoping to start ordering parts/installing stuff latter this week-ish or<br>
next week.<br>
<br>
*coughcough**wheeeeeeze*<br>
