[Vanhackspace] Wood Shop

[Jason Woodall]

Awesome thanks for the heads up, I have to say after reading the site, 
and noticing that you have your eyes open for a new location, I have 
been scanning my neighbourhood (Dundas/Victoria) for any appropriate 
locations.

I would love to buy some wood working tools to replenish all the ones I 
have left behind, but really have nowhere to store or use them, so 
haven't bothered.

A shared community space like this is something I've been trying to find 
for ages.  Hope to get out soon.

Was very intrigued by the robot contest.  I still have a rubermaid bin 
full of all my robotics shite from my thesis work on autonomous mobile 
robotics.

Would people be interested in any bits and pieces if I brought this down 
to the site?

ie chips, gates, diodes, capacitors, switches, relays, etc.  Some batteries.

I haven't had any time to use this stuff in years, and would rather 
someone made use of it.
