Getting Started

Hello!

Thank you for volunteering to take on the care and upkeep of one of the wood shop tools. It's a great way to help the wood shop, and the commitment can be as little as one hour a month. For this type of volunteering, we actually have a title already established called a Resource Manager.

Resource Managers are responsible for a specific tool or resource in the shop. They check up on it at least a few times a month, do maintenance on it depending on a schedule provided, and post information up regarding new or important things about the tool.

Tool Manual: To find your tool manual, look on the PCMS Members google drive folder under Tool Manuals. If it doesn't exist yet, please find one and upload it!

Regular check-in: We'd like to see if you can plan a regular time each month to inspect and clean your tool.​ Is there a time this can happen? If you need to keep things flexible that is fine, but we still plan at least a week ahead to keep it organized.

Maintenance Log: When you check in on your tool, be sure to log it each time on our maintenance log posted on the door to the wood shop!

Learn your tool: If you need to learn more about the tool, I recommend reading the manual we have for it first. Looking for videos on how to use the tools is also good. WoodWorkWeb has a lot of good video tutorials on how to use equipment.

Let us know when you can get started! If you need any help feel free to ask me or a more experienced wood shop user.
