[MachineShop] MachineShop

[Denis Muradov]

Just a reminder, starting next Sunday I'm keeping office hours 7pm to 9pm
every Sunday. On Sundays with a general meeting, I will go to the shop
after the meeting.

Future notices about this such as reservations and cancellations will go
through the machineshop list serv.

Thanks
