• We will develop an SOP for access to the Mezzanine
• The woodshop team has voted and agreed unanimously for a $190 petty cash purchase of a ladder, which will be permanently affixed to the mezzanine.

• The woodshop needs to sell the donated combination machine.
• We need to find an acceptable spot to set it up, so that it can be viewed for sale by customers. This may mean temporarily setting it up inside the container.
• Another option would be for the metal shop to allow us some space for us to temporarily setup the machine.

• Nil Items

• 7.1.3 of HSBNE risk assessment:
• User operation manuals are available on site, and on the wiki.
• Add a brochure holder to each machine. Place SOP and manual into it.
• The woodshop would like to purchase a magazine holder for this documentation
• The woodshop is to investigate electrical cable management - e.g. whether the cable needs to be within a conduit, or within cable trays.
• Work has already started to organize the cables along with the airlines
• The woodshop will ask Eris to tag and test the equipment
• The woodshop will investigate the spacing to provide a 1m egress path - The proposal is to use hazard marking tape on the floor to outline the egress path.

* At the end of his current membership billing cycle, Matt will be stepping down from his obligations with the Woodshop team (the end of March). * Airfares between Melbourne and Brisbane continue to be too expensive to allow him to return to Brisbane to use the workshop, making it unfeasible to maintain a membership. * Matt is looking forward to rejoining upon his return to Brisbane in 18 months. * With that being said - the woodshop needs a replacement third member, who is willing take meeting minutes and to provide additional assistance to the team. There will be a forum post shortly with this request.

• The next meeting will be Wednesday the 15th of March at 7:00 pm. The purpose of this meeting is discuss the sale of the Axminster panel saw and the Small Workbench.
• We will prepare the formal proposal for the sale of the items on this meeting.
