Congratulations to our new zone champions and thank you to everyone who submitted new zone ideas!

Zone updates
CNC Zone
- Pallet changer was removed and sold for scrap. Too old for any resale value.
- New member Christian Sam doing some really cool machining for his business Archangel Steel
Craft Room
- Sewing: Hot steam iron located in classroom is ready for member training. It's a commercial iron so training is required. The sessions should be short. See Jan to schedule a time.
Electronics Lab
- Some time ago, Charlie pointed out that the cutters sucked.
- Several varieties of cutters are taking their sweet time in shipping, but most have arrived.
- Expect them in the zone in the next week or two.
Injection Molding
- Fielding questions from several members regarding projects for molding
- Going to put the big molder up "for parts" sale. If no bites then will be sold for scrap.
Welding Zone
- Lots of intro to TIG and MIG classes have been happening. They happen when you contact the ZC (Jody, welding@i3detroit.org) and ask for them.
Wood Shop
- A stern and polite reminder:
- Do not leave tools covered in sawdust
