No one will be upset at you for breaking something if you were using it safely, but they will get upset if you knew it was broken and didn’t say anything as that’s time lost we could have been fixing it for everyone else.

* Point out '''scrap wood''' area - feel free to use anything there, or leave behind useful cutoffs.
* If your cutoffs aren't useful, please dispose of in the '''black bins''', cutting any large piece down to fit if needed. When full, these need to be taken down to the dumpster. Although it can sometimes be one of the assigned chores, it's everyone's responsibility to empty full bins and full garbage cans as needed as well everywhere in the lab
* Basic PPE is available - safety glasses, face shields, ear muffs and disposable ear plugs. Feel free to bring in your own as well. Safety is your responsibility, but we very strongly recommend the use of PPE.
* Most tools now have dust collection - please make sure the right gate is open for your tool and the collector running.
* Please clean up after yourself - all tools should be clear of debris and the floor around the tools should be swept. All hand tools should be put away, and benches left clear when you're finished. If you altered a tool from what would be the "default" setup, please put it back to the default set up (e.g. leaving the mitre saw at 90 degrees, table saw safety guards replaced if they were removed, etc), ready for the next person to use.
* Tools from the woodshop are marked with red and white striped tape and shouldn't be removed from the woodshop. If you do find a tool marked with that tape outside of the woodshop, please return it to the woodshop

== Miscellaneous ==
* Please check with the appropriate teams before dropping off donations. Although donations are often welcome, we need to make sure we know what we have, how to use it, and make sure we don't already have too many of the same thing.
* You are welcome to bring your own tools, but please do label them with your name. Tools should be stored in your own locker (or studio, or member storage shelf but only for the duration of the project not on an ongoing basis). Unlabeled tools forgotten at the lab often get put away with other tools.
* Please check with the appropriate team if you would like to ''lend'' a tool to the lab. We try to discourage lending tools to the lab as tools at the lab can get a lot of wear and tear even if used properly and may break. The lab generally won't take on that liability. We also need to make sure the tool is safe for the lab, etc.
* We do permit members in good standing to suspend their membership temporarily by applying for hiatus. Hiatus must be for a minimum 2 months and approved by the board. Please remember to take all projects with you and clear out your locker before starting hiatus. See [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fWqbG-ILOSnU2m2kcqFf-KtbMe7vOqHO/view?usp=sharing Hiatus Request and Withdrawal Guidelines]
* When you join you the lab you would have been added to slack and two mailing lists. The Announce mailing list is required and we do our best to keep the number of messages there to just the absolute bare minimum. The Members mailing list is optional. It's quite a bit noisier as it's where all the new member applications are sent to. If you would like to unsubscribe from the Members mailing list, you can do so via the link at the bottom of every message sent to the mailing list.
* Slack is by far our primary form of communication. Please browse the channels and add join the channels for the tools and rooms you use so you don't miss anything. We do still send the most critical of messages via the Announce, but you will be missing everything from people showing off their cool projects, people helping each other find materials, people getting help for specific tools, etc.
