+===== Workshop Rules=====
+There are some specific rules related to use of the specific workshop areas of the Hackspace:
+  * **__Never__ store anything the workshop areas.** This includes your project, materials, waste, or donations. Ad-hoc storage is simply not appropriate in this environment, because of the potentially hazardous nature of the machinery.
 ==== Woodshop ====
-There are some specific rules related to use of the Woodshop and woodworking at the hackspace:
+  * If you're doing woodwork, you must do it in the Woodshop, This is to prevent rest of the space getting covered in sawdust.
-  * If you're doing woodwork, please do it in the Woodshop so that the rest of the space doesn't get covered in sawdust.
   * Our bins don't accept wood, MDF, plywood, etc, so you need to take all your waste wood away with you. The only exception to this rule is bagged sawdust.
-  * Never store anything the Woodshop. This includes your project, materials, waste, or donations. Ad-hoc storage is simply not appropriate in this environment, because of the potentially hazardous nature of the Woodshop machinery.
+  * If you are using a machines which is connected to the dust collection system, or if you are using using a hand-held sander, you must use the dust collection system.
-  * If you are using the machines hooked to the permanent extraction, you must use the extraction too.
+  * If the dust collector is full, bag up the waste and put it into the building's skip.
-  * If you are using machines that aren't hooked to the permanent extraction, you must use the mobile extractor.
+  * Sweep up and bin any remaining sawdust, and put tools away in their correct places.
-  * If the extractor you are using is full, bag up the waste and put it into the building's skip.
+==== Metalshop ====
+  * If you're doing metal work, you must do it in the Metalshop. This is to prevent the rest of the space getting covered in oil, swarf, etc.
+  * Our bins don't accept large pieces of metal, so you need to take this kind of waste waste away with you. There are some material-specific bins by the lathe for swarf, chips etc.
