Space wishlist

From Hack Manhattan Wiki

The space needs work and ideas. The work we can do now and come up with ideas on how to use it later.

We should:

  • More power outlets, possibly more power in general if we're running everything off one 20A circuit. A suggestion was made to have a master power switch to turn off everything on the way out to ensure all soldering irons are off and so forth with one circuit on a UPS/always on and those outlets identified with red paint for the fridge or laptops that are being charged/running something. [We use the Belkin remote control power strips - one switch mounted by the exit shuts everything off. -JL]
  • Curtains! Sounds like a great opportunity to teach sewing...
  • If we build shelves on top of the benches stick LED strips underneath to light up workspaces below?
  • Lowering the tables in the main space
  • Volunteers to do various housekeeping chores to keep the space pretty

The space needs:

  • Ideas on how to make the most of the high ceilings
  • Dual output bench power supplies
  • A vending machine


We want to:

  • Hack electronics
  • Sew, knit, make shoes
  • 3D printing
  • Metalsmithing, carpentry
  • Cut things with lasers
  • Garden and grow things
  • Hang out, socialize, learn from each other
  • Brew beer
