Description

Monthly Maintenance Work Day, free! Hooray! What is Monthly Maintenance Day?Monthly Maintenance Day is a day when everyone gathers to observe how we can clean and improve the metal shop! Since this is such a large task, we've broken it down into manageable (maybe?) bite sizes. Below is this month's "theme" and tasks we'll be tackling on project day. In addition, there will be tasks listed that members can pick-up on their own time, and questions to get folks thinking about ideas to improve the space. February is Welder Maintenance Month! Project Day Tasks Cleaning the welders Making note of broken parts Inspecting leads Cleaning carts off, checking tires Inventory spare parts Making parts listsFinding new liners for MIG welders Adding arms to the TIG welder cart to make it easier to hang leads Maybe getting rid of the giant TIG welder Cleaning-up and making user manuals easier to find Individual Member-Friendly Tasks: Organize the spare parts case Clean off magnets Inflate Oxy-Acetylene cart tires Note any issues you're having with any of the welders Questions for Members: What would be the best way to keep user manuals? What would make it easier to report down welders? Does the current gas storage options work for you?Do you think you know enough about the welders? Too much? Don't think you need to? As always, email [email protected] with any questions or answers to anything! Hope to see you Feburary 26th!
