<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">When I got to the machine shop today it looked like someone
was in the middle of a project. There was no one on site so I just cleaned it up.
It took me about 30 minutes. They were cutting stuff on the sherline lathe, the
band saw and the tool grinder. There were parts everywhere. The most time
consuming mess was around the grinder. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">To me this is a pretty obvious example of bad behavior. I was
told who it was. I’m not sure if a suspension from using the machine shop
for a set time period would be appropriate. They are not certified on the lathe
and mill and have been members for a couple of months. <span> </span><span> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I’m thinking the following. Option one. Since there is a
grinder in the welding shop already, and the mess generated by the machine shop
grinder gets everywhere (especially on the tools) and is hard to clean I think it should be locked
up. If I do not hear from anyone this is what I will do. I will put a lock on
the cord much like the locks on the mill or the lathe (I'm assuming this is possible). This means that if people are not qualified
on the lathe and mill they cannot use the grinder – but since it is for
sharpening tooling they should not need to. Option two. Put a lock on the
grinder and the jet band saw. Option three. Put a lock on all corded machinery
in the machine shop. This could also be done with a different combination than
the lathe or mill. The idea with option three is really to get anyone new to go
through basic machine shop orientation, such as safety and etc, rather than
make it a pain to use the machine shop. It's one way to get new people to take safety seriously, with maybe a potential side benefit of the place being slightly cleaner. That, or something else. I’m
open to ideas.</p>
