Hey all, Bit of a long shot question: I am looking for a bandsaw, to split a couple of thick planks in two. Until today I never needed a bandsaw, so I don't own one...Has anyone on here a bandsaw at home, or know a friend/family member in Aberdeen(shire) who would allow me to use theirs for 10 minutes? It would need to be a bandsaw with cut depth of approx 125mm. Cheerio, Wouter

Membership Induction on the wiki

by Dave Hibberd

Hi Friends! We've had quite a few new faces pop into the space over the last few weeks (I count 7 new-ish faces last night?), and I think it's worth getting brushed up on how we run! I've made some changes to the induction page on the wiki, feel free to take a look and make some more changes! https://wiki.57north.org.uk/admin/membership_induction I'd really like to firm up our open and close procedures and make sure that we follow them - I'm as guilty as everyone else at leaving the space a bit untidy. Hopefully by having a defined set of actions and spaces to check on at the end of each open evening / other session, we can keep the place tidy, welcoming and usable for ourselves. A QR code or list on the way out would help as a reminder, maybe. I'd love to label each table/major working area. Midder - is this a good use for the vinyl cutter? Longer term, I wouldn't mind a model of our space so we can have a map on the wiki of various areas. I am going to hit Tesco buy some cleaning and organisational stuff tonight while I 3d print some stuff - surface disinfectant, more surface wipes, a mug tree. Is there anything else trivial that people want bought to make life a little better? Cheers, H -- Hibby MM0RFN

Outer spaces in Aberdeen, installation project idea, dunno

by Andy Gaskell

Hi Y'all The Outer Spaces organisation is doing more in Aberdeen this year. There are micro commissions... https://outerspaces.org/opportunities/aberdeen-micro-commissions ...which, for the TLDR, you can get ~£1000 of funding and some space, like a city centre office floor, a high street shop, a retail unit in a shopping centre and a whole office block in Dyce So I did sort of wonder if we could come up with an idea. Perhaps an interactive thing of electronics, sound, lights and mechanical curios, exhibition & venue thing, in an empty shop on Union Street? Not sure really. There is more general info at... https://outerspaces.org/opportunities/ https://outerspaces.org/opportunities/curator-in-residence-aberdeen Some fiends have some great studio space across from the Northern Hotel, via the Outer Spaces scheme. --

Hello all I'll be in again, I'll be working on getting the vinyl cutter going and if people want an introduction to the laser cutter, I can do that also.

Re: [57north-announce] 13th Consular Convention for Control & Prohibition of Pandemics

I plan to swing by, it might be 9ish by the time I get on - down at Mum's this weekend. Tom said he might get on later but he's got a whisky tasing first - what a difficult life!
