Hello Swansea Hackspace mailing list,

As you may already know, our new workshop (funded by The National 
Lottery Community Fund) is nearing completion!

We are very excited to get things up and running, but there are some 
decisions to be made. We have some budget remaining for equipment, 
tools, and consumables, and we would like as many suggestions as 
possible for how these funds should be allocated.

Please can you either submit your suggestions by email, through this 
Google form link (https://forms.gle/KMEioFB9UpwyzrHN7) or via the 
workshop-tool-suggestions channel on our discord 
(https://discord.gg/rSyTWUA)

After we have gathered a list of tools, we will begin the process of 
narrowing them down and making decisions, with member consultation. For 
now we just want as many ideas as possible.

Tool suggestions can be specific ""Tormach 1100MX"", or generic ""CNC 
Mill"". If you don't give a part number, the directors will pick one for 
you!

Tools can include large powered things eg. drill press, small hand tools 
eg. chisel set, or anything in-between, even consumables. Post as many 
ideas as you want.

We will be taking suggestions until 23:59 17th November.


We'll sign off with some pictures to show off the current state of the room:
