I'll second Naomi's request. I have stuff I'd like to produce, but don't want to spend 10 hours trying to do something that should only take an hour. That and, I like my fingers too.<br><br clear="all">Cheers,<br>

Are you going to run a workshop or something on how to use it? <br><br>I have a few ideas, but I've never been in the presence of a laser cutter and would like enough guidance to assure myself I wasn't going to lop a thumb off and forever be known as Miss Butterfingers.<br>

Now that I've got your attention: are you in a warehouse and have a little extra room for a laser cutter, with proper ventilation? It's for business, so make sure that's okay with your co-tenants, etc. If you have the room, let's talk about what you'd need to house the laser cutter I'm buying. Since this is a commercial venture, I'm not able to house it at Noisebridge in good conscience.<br>
<br>Background: I'm going to be buying a laser cutter soon, and will be renting out time on it to the local Maker/Hacker community. I'm willing to sell time at 25$/hr for the first 200 hours to people who will write me checks now. First check gets to schedule their hours first, and so on. If we don't get your time scheduled, I promise to return or destroy your check. If you need references, I'm pretty sure most of NB will vouch that I'm not going to run off to Tijuana with your money. Once things are settled in a bit, I intend to offer discounts to Noisebridge members and people working on art projects, and want to donate time to Noisebridge as an organization, to make sure Cool Stuff gets done with the equipment. So, be thinking of projects you want to produce using a laser cutter!<br>
<br>Unfortunately, my apartment isn't such a good venue for this operation, so I need a place to put it. That's where all you awesome warehouse-dwellers of SF come in. I'd love to put it in a container at NIMBY or the Box Shop, but, well, they're not convenient for people. So, someplace central would be ideal. If you can help me with space, let's talk.<br>
<br>Thanks, and happy lasing!<br><font color="#888888">-- <br>Josh Myer 650.248.3796<br> <a href="mailto:josh@joshisanerd.com" target="_blank">josh@joshisanerd.com</a><br>
