Members,
My name is Dave Potts and I am a member of SAPFM and the South Jersey Woodworkers Guild. It is Woodworkers Guild business about which I write this evening, looking for assistance and ideas on how to spend money. Pretty easy, huh?
It seems that we are blessed with extra dues monies in our kitty and wish to purchase 'club tools' for the use of members. A quick round-about presented more questions than answers at our last meeting. I'm looking for guild or club members across the country who may have already found solutions to purchase and distribute 'club tools'.
A few questions follow:
1. What tools did your clubs buy as member assets, i.e. vacuum presses, mini lathe, a drill doctor, dies for creating wood screws and nuts (for workbench vices), or even a club workbench as examples? It seems to me any club asset should fall in the medium to expensive catagory. Tools that may get limited use in ones own shop but considerably more use between 40-50 members.
2. Did any tools really make a hit with your members?
3. How did you store, distribute, and keep track of club assets.
These questions seem to be a great place to start on this project. Any assistance with this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave Potts
