Inductions - not enough inductors? Multiple members have volunteered for 3D printer and bandsaw inductoring, needs inductors to have free time to induct inductors, volunteers for laser cutters also available to be sorted out by cirrent inductors. Paper sign up sheets in hacksapce discussed. Bandsaw induction to be investigated to be moved online. Table saw more dangerous than bandsaw should we review online inductions to be discussed at next directors' meeting? List of inductors - not necessary as can reques tinductions on forum and multiple inductros do not want to be harrassed
