[hackerspaces] List of must haves for Workshop Areas | Wood & Metal

[Altin Ukshini]

Thank you very much for your input - it's very helpful indeed!

Yes we're looking forward to buying these tools from scratch (brand new
ones) with hopefully a budget around 5-6k and on the way renovate
<https://goo.gl/photos/usKpDGcTjpGzEuyj6>part of our hackerspace for this
Workshop area as well.

Labeling is definitely a thing we're looking forward as @dosman suggested,
we've already done something like that with QRcodes before (outdated
example: http://wiki.prishtinahackerspace.org/wiki/Equipment/HP_LaserJet).
Thanks for the Signage link!

All the best,
Altin
