+===== Cause Area Expectations =====
+  * Please leave the area as clean or cleaner than you found it.
+  * Please make sure to put money in the donation tin for consumables.
+  * Please return tools to their homes.
-To reach this goal we have to complete the following items:
+===== Cause Owned Equipment =====
+<nspages tools:blacksmithing -exclude:home -usePictures -h1 -textNS="" -textPages="" -subns -pagesInNs -naturalOrder>
-  - Protect the area/equipment from the weather.
+===== Member Owned Equipment on Loan =====
-  - Establish a viewing zone for observers
-  - 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:
-After each use, the user much:
+===== Ongoing Budgets =====
+Monthly Consumables Discretionary - $100. This is a discretionary budget for the Cause Leader
-  - Ensure that all tools are put away in their designated areas after use.
+===== Current Goals =====
-  - 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:
-  - Tool stock take
-  - Extensive clean
-Monthly takes:
+===== Proposed Classes =====
-  - Space maintenance.
+===== Cleaning plan =====
+When finished using the cause area, members must:
+  - 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
+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.
