There's another grinder, that Celeste brought in for Gonner, that should
have no restrictions on its' use. Not sure where it ended up (I thought in
the welding area). It's an old craftsman, I think.  In addition, Alexis
asked me & Darren if we were trained to use the machine shop bandsaw, and
we both said no. I told her she could cut aluminum on the wood use shop saw
(while I don't know Gonner's opinion, this is a standard practice, and
recommended by many, not just me), and Darren brought up the abrasive wheel
metal chop saw in the welding area.  I showed her how to use the abrasive
chop saw & she did do some cutting of stuff she was about to melt.  Do you
recall when she made the mess with the machine shop bandsaw?  I think we
talked with her Wednesday afternoon.
