I made this yesterday night , the reels spins freely , quiet please about it 
The top is not glued to provide access inside.
Four or more of this are going to live on the electronics benches
@admins @lasertechs I used a 3mm plywood from the lasers materials , but this is a space project, how does it works?
Can you PM me so that when I update the ledger I remember to add it (so it doesn’t look like we are short)?
@directors not 100% sure on the process for using laser materials shop for in-space projects.
if it makes the book keeping easier, you can charge it to the Electronics consumables…?

In general, it would probably be easier all round if we bought in separately for in-space stuff, but in practice that’s not always feasible so personally happy for this sort of thing to come from the shop if it’s what’s needed to get it done. Happy to be led by @naxxfish on this one though.
At the moment the way I’m managing the shop is there’s a ledger - I buy the materials, then claim that back with a reciept. Then periodically I empty the cash box and BACS the appropriate amount to the SLMS account.
So in terms of actual money, the space has already purchased the materials. According to the ledger, though, if people use materials without paying for them it looks like we have a loss. We should record that something has been used for a space project, otherwise we’d end up assuming any loss is due to space projects, and wouldn’t know if we’re running to track or not. Also, it’d be a good way to use space money without authorisation (probably not the best thing).
I think I’d be happier if I could record when these things happen with a director’s approval, just so it doesn’t look like I’m stealing money 
Nice! Very smart. I don’t know if you’re a Laura Kampf fan, but if you check out her YouTube channel she built something similar with inbuilt cutters. Maybe an improvement for the next couple?
(also, thanks … I’m now binge watching her videos… !)
From an accounting pov, it probably makes sense to get you a pre paid card
Laura Campf’s vids are excellent - she also does occasional collaborations with Adam Savage (check out one day builds on youtube if you’ve not seen them, his recent stuff is awesome) and Jimmy Diresta.
