I like the idea of blackboard for the shop, anyway, where particulate in the<br>
air is sort of a given anyway. And we need plywood for in there anyhow, for<br>
shelves and whatnot. So, I say an emphatic "yes."<br>

PS, I happen to know that lots of elementary schools have big chalkboards<br>
gathering dust in their basements because teachers no longer use the<br>
"lecture and notes" method on 8 year olds quite as much; if we wanted one,<br>
it might be as simple as asking... but we definitely want the plywood.<br>

Given the sporadically appearing needs last Tuesday for somewhere to<br>
draw/write while talking, it seems to me we'd do good to have at least one<br>
whiteboard/blackboard on the premises.<br>
<br>
Personally, I'm much in favour of blackboards on principle - however, on<br>
this account, I think that at least both the photographers and the<br>
allergics/asthmatics should have definite veto-rights.<br>
<br>
One item that speaks in favour of a blackboard is the existence of<br>
chalkboard paint:<br>

(or similar)<br>
<br>
Below, I've quoted an email that just arrived on the Palo Alto Freecycle<br>
list: there's a pile of plywood sheets free for the (organized) taking in<br>
Redwood City. If we want and/or need plywood (for instance to paint<br>
chalkboard paint on), I'll be happy to tag the plywood for pickup myself.<br>
