Trärummet

Trärummet rules and recommendations

Rules

• Keep the door close at any time. Wood dust can damage the machines in the metalrummet.
• It is forbidden to work with pressure treated wood in the room for health reasons.
• You are only allowed to work with woods and some plastics in Trärummet. Metal, stone, bricks and anything else is forbidden to work with in the room.
• Always use some form of dust collection when working with the machines (not mandatory for the drill press and only when your are sanding a piece on the lathe).
• Always clean up (benches and floor) as soon as you are done and before you leave. This is a general rule for the makerspace, not just this room.

Recommendations

• Attend a wood workshop intro before using machines that you are unfamiliar with.

• Use eye protection and where applicable ear muffs when using machines.
• Keep long hair, loose clothing and any kind of straps, cords, jewelry etc. tucked away when using machines. If the catch in a spinning machine it can end really badly.
• Do not use gloves with the machines, if they get caught it will end badly before you can react.
