Lets meet. I can meet this Tuesday, or any Thursday, and I can meet any other time with notice.<br><br>I know there is a "noisebridge needs a laser engraver" list that I may or may not be on (I suspect not) so we should invite them as well because I am sure they have invested brain power in to these problems already.<br>
<br>I know some of the arguments, but if there is a big enough community and enough support, I am sure these problems will go away.<br><br>I want to say that, while Techshop is awesome, the laser engraver is the most used tool there. I invite people to consider the savings they may have if they invest in a laser engraver for noisebridge instead of getting a membership to Techshop.<br>
<br>As far as burning the place down, it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY. These things are as enclosed as a microwave. They aren't as easy to use, and they are compatible with a limited number of materials, but people would have to REALLY FUCK UP to burn the place down with a laser engraver...like engraving gasoline soaked balsa.<br>
<br>Just say'n. Frick'n lasers.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jan 9, 2011 at 10:28 AM, Josh Myer <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:josh@joshisanerd.com" target="_blank">josh@joshisanerd.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Lets have a meeting on this. I have some insight from working at techshop on this, namely what kinds of terms we can have with vendors and why its important.<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>I'd be interested to hear what you've learned; my experience working with the local Epilog vendor were very positive, but it seemed like they weren't going to go out of their way for a smaller client.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We don't really have the resources to do much more than the bare minimum here, which is still enough to do interesting things (up to and including burning down Noisebridge).</div><div><br></div><div>
I'm down for $100, if only to make people stop talking about how NB Needs A Laser Cutter ZOMG.</div></div>-- <br><font color="#888888">Josh Myer 415.230.9791 <-- NOTE: New number!<br> <a href="mailto:josh@joshisanerd.com" target="_blank">josh@joshisanerd.com</a><br>
