- | The main purpose of the blacksmithing area is to provide a self maintained and intuitive area to practise the art of blacksmithing, metal forging and sand casting. | + | ===== Member Owned Equipment on Loan ===== |
- | To reach this goal we have to complete the following items: | ||
- | - Protect the area/equipment from the weather. | + | ===== Ongoing Budgets ===== |
- | - Establish a viewing zone for observers | + | Monthly Consumables Discretionary - $100. This is a discretionary budget for the Cause Leader |
- | - Clean and organise the area | + | |
- | - New hanging tool rack | + | |
- | - Set up a gas forge for aluminium smelting along with a larger crucible (preferably 2L+) | + | |
- | - Build fume extraction hood | + | |
- | To maintain a clean, safe and organised smithy, there will be some small tasks that members will have to complete: | + | ===== Current Goals ===== |
- | After each use, the user much: | ||
- | - Ensure that all tools are put away in their designated areas after use. | ||
- | - The anvil is covered to protect it from rain. | ||
- | - Embers are either put out, or scuttled | ||
- | - Clean up any mess caused by work | ||
- | Weekly tasks will include: | + | ===== Proposed Classes ===== |
- | - Tool stock take | + | ===== Cleaning plan ===== |
- | - Extensive clean | + | When finished using the cause area, members must: |
- | Monthly takes: | + | - Ensure that all tools/equipment is put away in their designated areas after use. |
+ | - The casting furnace is covered to protect it from rain. | ||
+ | - Clean up any mess caused by work | ||
+ | - Gas cylinders are removed and locked in cage | ||
+ | - donations for fuel/consumables use left in donations tin/ through spacebucks | ||
- | - Space maintenance. | + | Weekly tasks will include: |
- | As for requests for the space the forum will be checked on a daily basis and all purchases with an overall price of $50 will be decided in a vote. | + | - Sweeping the floor |
+ | - emptying bins (steel recycling/aluminium recycling/rubbish) | ||
- | Meetings will have to be announced and will happen on Tuesdays when announced. | + | Monthly tasks: |
+ | - stocktake of fuel | ||
+ | - stocktake of tools | ||
+ | - identification of improvement areas | ||
- | Appointment classes: Inductions on the blacksmithing and forging equipment. | ||
- | Monthly classes: How to draw and round a steel rod How to make a rail-road spike into a fire stoke. How to cast sand moulds | + | Meetings will be announced with 7 days notice, and will happen on Tuesdays. |
- | Inductions can be held by any inducted member of the smithy, but other classes for now will be hosted by Geoffrey Lean. | + | Inductions can be held by any member who has been inducted on the relevant equipment, in line with the cause operating policy. |
- | Future prospectives: Shed: Install a gutter Casting: Casting box + trays Ramming tools Cutters and Risers High temperature forges such as: Induction furnace Oil forge Smithing Power hammer Horizontal gas forge Misc Increase tooling (tongs for smelting) | ||
- | Ideally we would also like to move into building an oil forge or induction furnace. This would allow us to melt/recycle higher temperature metals such as bronze and steel. |
