Torrie, That is not a massive lathe and for you to suggest getting rid of the pantograph and the lathe is an insult. Also may I remind you that we are working on donating our Extra tools to Canhax. I agree that we need to do something with the extra table saw, band saws and the 30 or so

I don't think Perry is willing to move the tool to SYNHAK (correct me if I am wrong), he is just offering its use. It is a rather expensive and very large machine (upwards of 15 feet long if my memory serves me), that requires training and great care to be taken when operating. This tool is also

While I would love to have a tool such as this at our disposal, and the associated time savings and ability to make larger projects rather quickly, I feel at this moment it would be under utilized to justify the cost, and the floor space. With that being said, if someone wants to build one on

My understanding was that the pantograph was not going to be a permanent installation due to the difficulty and expense in finding collets/important parts for it. A decent mill however should take it's place. We should take an inventory of all of our tools and decide what we use and don't use.

Devin, Thanks for the update on your condition. Hope you can return to SH very soon. Had my camera, was going to take photos at the accident scene. Did not take any because of multiple comments by others that photos were not needed or were - possibly - voyeuristic. Next time, I will not

[SH-Discuss] wifi gui for RPi

Does anyone know of a decent wifi gui for the RPi ? I am having trouble with Alpha antenna and RPi playing nice together. I am not looking for some obscure, unheard of gui with no documentation. I already have that with this Wheezy distro. I realize that most of my problems are probably my fault.

Is there a way to automate the invite system? If we're going to use consensus to decide things everyone should use slack at least long enough to get an informed decision. I don't think Alex meant for you to take that as anything more than a light hearted jab regarding your dedication to fedora.
