>> to fundraise to purchase some bikes for our members who travel to Zambia
>> with the goal of leaving it for the Ag Center for their use when EWB
>> members aren't on site. I have a updated the EWB-HSV FB status to reflect

>>
>> Note about Sharing Status: If you just click share, you will only be

>> our goals and how-to. Please copy and paste the status onto your own
>> status when you share.
>>
>> Also, it would be great if anyone knows how to track such donations if we

>> to
>> get the ball rolling. Please, as stated on the FB page, donate in the
>> name
>> of Zambikes so that we can track these donations correctly. If everyone
>> on this email listing donated $10, that's already one bike down! And a
>> good start to encourage more donations. A friend at work has already
>> given
>> me $10, and so I'll be going onto our paypal site to donate $20 already :)
>>
>> Feel free to email me with any comments/suggestions etc.

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