===== Site Tour ===== Site tours happen every open night, which is currently Tuesday nights at 6PM. How to run a tour: * Check them off using the Eventbrite app * Ask how they found out about HSBNE * Ask what areas/projects people are interested in * Wait in the car park until the tour starts * Go through the physical space (explain what space is ours) * workshop floor - up to the second pillar * front room * upstairs room * shared areas - bathroom / kitchen * Other areas are off-limits * Go through the FAQ * Tell them they can inspect the space as they wish and let them know you will be at the BBQ if they have further questions or want to hang out FAQ * What is HSBNE? HSBNE is a community workshop / makerspace * Does HSBNE have any staff? HSBNE is run entirely by members * How do machines get maintained? Members maintain all the equipment. Everyone is encouraged to get involved in participating in the club, let us know if you want be more involved. * Does HSBNE supply materials? No, however there are some leftovers materials in the rack that are free to use. HSBNE does supply consumables for the machines such as saw blades. Members occasionally organise group buys. * When is HSBNE open? Members have access to HSBNE 24/7 and we have an open night every Tuesday night. * How did you get all these machines? Through grants, donations and membership fees. * How do I sign up? Go to HSBNE.org and click the signup button. Enter the code from your swipe card, pay the membership fee and pass a short induction that contains some info such as the wifi password. * How much is the HSBNE membership? $23 per week charged monthly (100 per month). Saying the membership rate as a weekly amount instead of monthly seems to make it appear less expensive * How does HSBNE decide what to buy? HSBNE has a meeting every month where we decide how to run HSBNE. Every member is allowed to vote. * Can I bring a friend? Yes, you can have up to two friends working with you. * Can those under 18 sign up? Unfortunately not due to QLD's working with minors (blue card) laws. A parent/guardian can sign up and the underage member can come on-site under the supervision of the parent/guardian. * Does HSBNE run classes to teach XXX? No, though everyone is friendly and will point you in the right direction. We have regular open nights to discuss/work on projects. We would like to run classes, if you are interested in running a class please let us know * Once I've become a member can I use all the machines? Some machines will require you to complete an induction to ensure that you can use the machine safely. * How do I get inducted on machines? See the wiki for how to get inducted on tools. * Do I need to do the induction if I already know how to use the machine? Yes, we need to be able to verify that you can use the machine safely. * How do I get help? The best place to get assistance is via our chat server on Discord. If you ask on Discord you will surely get a friendly response. * How many members do you have? Around 30 at the moment.
