I wanted to give everyone an update on the CNC area and what still needs to be done. Once these last items get finished we can have some classes, hopefully towards the end of the month. I know many people are starting to get a little irritated with the cleanliness of the area (me included) so this will give people the opportunity to pitch in and help vs just complain. Below are some items action items that members can pitch in and help with if they have time. If you have any questions please feel free to email me.

below are some links that I have saved for inspiration. I’m not married to any of these ideas and am looking for input.
