Trespass Warned Persons

2023-08-19T19:43:36Z

Michael Atherton: Creation of Trespass Warning List and linking to KS Statute.

= '''Preface''' =
The following is a list of persons/individuals with trespass warning issued to them by the Board of Directors of MakeICT or by Security due to either 1) board action or 2) keycard revocation. The named individuals are not allowed onto MakeICT property or into the building except as a guest of a Director or Lead Security Officer.

Named individuals are subject to [https://www.kslegislature.org/li_2012/b2011_12/statute/021_000_0000_chapter/021_058_0000_article/021_058_0008_section/021_058_0008_k/ '''KS 21-5808'''] regrading criminal trespass.

There shall be a physical copy of this list made available and posted in the welcome area.

This list will be updated as warranted.
 

=== Membership Responsibilities ===

Members are asked to do the following if a trespass warned individual is on the property and/or in the building:

* Members will notify Security and Board of the trespass. Include the date, time, area of the grounds/building, and the name of the individual.

* Contact Police and notify them of an individual that has been trespass warned. Submit any case numbers given by Police to Directors for follow up

'''''If a member feels uncomfortable contacting police, the minimum acceptable response is to notify Board/Security.'''''

'''''Threats of physical harm or damage of property OR actual physical harm or damage to property MUST be reported to Police.'''''

Members are NOT ALOWED to issue trespass warnings OR falsely report non-warned individuals to Police. Doing so will result in immediate revocation of badge access and any other legal action Police find appropriate.

Members will not allow trespass warned individuals access to the buildings or grounds. Doing so will result in immediate revocation of badge access by security.

Jewelry Area

Michael Atherton: /* General Information */

==General Information==

The jewelry lab is located in the Cold Metal shop at MakeICT. Metal shop authorization is highly recommended before using the Jewelry Lab, but not required. In this lab you can work many precious and non-ferrous metals including solder metal, melting glass, lampworking glass for beads, and cast jewelry. We have most of the hand tools and a good selection of equipment to work with, members provide their own materials for projects. Authorization for the cabbing machine, diamond saws, and centrifugal caster must be acquired before use.

== Area Leads ==
'''Area Leads can be contacted at [mailto:jewelry@makeict.org Jewelry@makeict.org].'''

* Michael Atherton is the Jewelry Lab lead with 5 years experience with jewelry making, primarily precious metals.

* Dean Day is a Jewelry Lab Sub Lead with many years experience in various metalworking.

* Jon Mulnix is a Jewelry Lab Sub Lead with 16 years experience in jewelry specializing in prong setting stones.

* Kim Nguyen is a Jewelry Lab Sub Lead experienced in polymer clay jewelry.
*

==Jewelry Lab Safety==

#You are welcome to use any of the tools or equipment in the Jewelry Lab, with the exception of the Cabbing Machine, Diamond Saws, and Centrifugal Caster without prior authorization.
#If there's something you don't know how to do safely or without damaging the equipment, please ask before using. You can always ask questions on the forum [http://makeict.org/forum ask for help].
#Do not use any machine that is not in good working order. Stop, unplug and leave a note on the machine and notify [mailto:jewelry@makeict.org Jewelry Lab].
#Never assume a tool is properly adjusted; always check the tool prior to use. If you are unsure or are unfamiliar with the tool, treat the tool as if it is out of adjustment.
#Never modify or hack any equipment.
#If something is wrong or a piece of equipment is malfunctioning, leave a note in an obvious place on the troubled equipment and e-mail [mailto:jewelry@makeict.org jewelry@makeict.org].

 

==Resources==

===Supplies===

*[https://www.riogrande.com/ Rio Grande] - Selection of metals, gemstones, tools, equipment, consumables/abrasives, and other supplies. Good primary resource for projects. Free Shipping for orders over $200 and under 10lbs so groups of makers can take advantage to pool purchases.
*[https://www.firemountaingems.com/ Fire Mountain Gems] - Good selection of beads, cabochons, and unique faceted gems not carried by Rio Grande.
*Amazon - Use as a LAST RESORT. Metals are overpriced and questionable. Gems are junk. Good for cheap abrasives for rotary tools. 

===Books For Self Instruction===

*Jewelry Making for Schools, Tradesmen, and Craftsmen by Murray Bovin - Covers basics of jewelry crafting and techniques. Published back in 1979 it is a bit dated but a good reference guide or to leaf through to get inspiration for designs.

==Group Ordering==
At least once a month, if there is enough interest to do so, the area lead for Jewelry lab will post an order to metal/stone dealers for membership to try to take advantage of large order discounts for materials and shipping. If you wish to participate in one of these orders you must:

#Submit your request to [mailto:Jewelry@makeict.org jewelry@makeict.org] before the designated time on the calendar and/or forum post, or in person during the event on the calendar.
#*Limitations Apply: Equipment Purchases over $100 ; Gold, Platinum, & Palladium will not be ordered before payment made. Gemstones over $50 a piece will not be ordered before payment made.
#Payment: Payment for requested materials can be made in person on Order Day or upon Pickup, within above limitations. Currently Cash is the only payment methods.
#Receipt of Material: A notice will be made in the forum when the order arrives. Items can be picked up on the next Saturday after the notice ( a Event post will attempted to be made) or on any Maker Monday after delivery.
#*Items not paid for after thirty (30) days after delivery notice being made revert to ownership of the person(s) that made/paid for the group order. Repeatedly not paying for group order items will result in no longer being able to place orders.
#*Items pre-paid for will be held for 1 year. If no attempt is made to pick up the item in that time it will be considered a kind donation to the Jewelry Lab. Thank You!

Michael Atherton: Added three new columns (Condition, Safety, and Authorization), two new rows (Flex shaft 1 and 2) and updated statuses across the board. Added table guide for Status and Condition columns. Added Resource section with links to supply websites for material and a list for helpful books.

==General Information==

The jewelry lab is located in the Cold Metal shop at MakeICT. Metal shop authorization is highly recommended before using the Jewelry Lab, but not required. In this lab you can work many precious and non-ferrous metals including solder metal, melting glass, lampworking glass for beads, and cast jewelry. We have most of the hand tools and a good selection of equipment to work with, members provide their own materials for projects. Authorization for the cabbing machine, diamond saws, and centrifugal caster must be acquired before use.

Michael Atherton is the jewelry lab lead and can be contacted at [mailto:jewelry@makeict.org Jewelry@makeict.org].

==Jewelry Lab Safety==

#You are welcome to use any of the tools or equipment in the Jewelry Lab, with the exception of the Cabbing Machine, Diamond Saws, and Centrifugal Caster without prior authorization.
#If there's something you don't know how to do safely or without damaging the equipment, please ask before using. You can always ask questions on the forum [http://makeict.org/forum ask for help].
#Do not use any machine that is not in good working order. Stop, unplug and leave a note on the machine and notify [mailto:jewelry@makeict.org Jewelry Lab].
#Never assume a tool is properly adjusted; always check the tool prior to use. If you are unsure or are unfamiliar with the tool, treat the tool as if it is out of adjustment.
#Never modify or hack any equipment.
#If something is wrong or a piece of equipment is malfunctioning, leave a note in an obvious place on the troubled equipment and e-mail [mailto:jewelry@makeict.org jewelry@makeict.org].

 

== Resources ==

=== Supplies ===

* [https://www.riogrande.com/ Rio Grande] - Selection of metals, gemstones, tools, equipment, consumables/abrasives, and other supplies. Good primary resource for projects. Free Shipping for orders over $200 and under 10lbs so groups of makers can take advantage to pool purchases.
* [https://www.firemountaingems.com/ Fire Mountain Gems] - Good selection of beads, cabochons, and unique faceted gems not carried by Rio Grande.
* Amazon - Use as a LAST RESORT. Metals are overpriced and questionable. Gems are junk. Good for cheap abrasives for rotary tools. 

=== Books For Self Instruction ===

* Jewelry Making for Schools, Tradesmen, and Craftsmen by Murray Bovin - Covers basics of jewelry crafting and techniques. Published back in 1979 it is a bit dated but a good reference guide or to leaf through to get inspiration for designs.

Michael Atherton: /* Equipment List */

==General Information==

The jewelry lab is located in the Cold Metal shop at MakeICT. Metal shop authorization is highly recommended before using the Jewelry Lab. In this lab, you can cut stones, polish cabochons, solder metal, melt glass for beads, and cast jewelry. We have most of the tools available, but metals and stones. Authorization for the cabbing machine, diamond saws, and centrifugal caster must be acquired before use. Luke Swearingen is the jewelry lab lead and can be contacted at [mailto:jewelry@makeict.org Jewelry@makeict.org].

==Access Policy==
{{:Jewelry Lab_Access_Policy}}

==Jewelry Lab Safety==

#You are welcome to use any of the tools or equipment in the Jewelry Lab, with the exception of the Cabbing Machine, Diamond Saws, and Centrifugal Caster without prior authorization. If there's something you don't know how to do safely or without damaging the equipment, please ask before using. You can always ask questions on the forum [http://makeict.org/forum ask for help].
#Do not use any machine that is not in good working order. Stop, unplug and leave a note on the machine and notify [mailto:jewelry@makeict.org Jewelry Lab].
#Never assume a tool is properly adjusted; always check the tool prior to use.
#Never modify or hack any equipment.

==What We Need==
Our A-frame press, ring stretcher/shrinker, grinder/polisher, cabbing machine, and stone saws are all on loan from members, and replacing those items with MakeICT-owned equipment should be a priority. The ring stretcher/shrinker in particular has been heavily used, and is a low-end version never really designed for such heavy use.
We are currently in need of many items normally found in a properly-equipped jewelry design and repair shop. Donations of tools, jewelry, materials, and findings are greatly appreciated. We desperately need an assortment of findings and parts for fabricating small jewelry. Silver wire, silver sheet stock, and scrap silver would make it a much better lab. We are also seeking people with experience in jewelry work to teach small classes (usually limited to six people, because the lab is small) in their area of talent, interest, or expertise. If you can give of your time and talent for a class, please contact Luke Swearingen [mailto:jewelry@makeict.org jewelry@makeict.org].

MEMEBERS IN ATTENDANCE:

* Michael Atherton - Vice Chair
* Dean Day
* James Lancaster
* Tom Bloom

 

=== 2x72 Grinder ===

* Mike A. / Rustin A.: Work to completion of project slow/frozen due to outstanding time commitments.
* All parts to complete project present, just need time to cut/weld/fit/test.
* Question about belt material procurement raised. Unknown quantity and grit for grinder already on site, will try to get inventory of grit/type.

=== Insurance Issue ===

* Much discussion around how/why this has hampered the committee.

* James L. had copy of the 2016 West Bend policy in effect during operation of forges at Douglass building.
* Unsure of possible changes/restrictions in place with the current policy.
* James L. would try to obtain the up to date policy language and look for changes/issues.

=== Foundry ===

* Dean D.: Ability to bring up a small scale/size foundry operation in relative short time
* MakeICT currently has very small scale foundry abilities in jewelry lab for lost wax/spin casting.
* Holding off further discussion until insurance matter is cleared up.

== From Original Forum Post ([https://talk.makeict.org/t/forge-commitee-meeting-15may21/11462 Link to Post]) ==

The Forge Committee had their initial ‘getting our poop in a group’ meeting.

In attendance:

<nowiki>*</nowiki>James Seymour

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Mike Atherton

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Shaun Sigley

James Began the meeting reiterating the fact that it is unlikely we will have financial support from the board in the foreseeable future.

The committee is declaring itself with the following members:

<nowiki>*</nowiki>James Seymour - Chairman

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Michael Atherton -Vice Chairman

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Shaun Sigley

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Brett Headford

<nowiki>*</nowiki>David Hanson

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Ian Cazabat

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Rustin Atkeisson

<nowiki>*</nowiki>John Withers

The committee is has come together to hammer out a path forward for bringing a forge program to MakeICT. Ensuring it’s safe use among the membership is our primary focus.

This will include classes, authorizations, preventative maintenance, and requirements for use. We will do this by using a simple coal forge to teach classes with, and use the money we make to build a nicer gas forge.

Mike is going to look into getting a simple coal forge up and running.

James is going to help with the forced air system.

Shaun is going to touch base with Rustin about doing some basic classes in making coal and making a knife from a railroad spike, or file.

James is going to touch base with the woodshop about their scrap generation (to use for coal making) schmooze the board, and… well… this post.
