Tools

'''NOTE: If you don't know how to use a machine, no matter the size- find someone who knows their stuff to help you or look it up [maybe here on the wiki ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]. We've had so many people continuously break drill bits, screw heads, crank extractors, coping saws etc. The list goes on. '''

Luckily, we've never had a tool related accident but it would fucking suck if that happened due to "just giving it a go".

Tools Series
This page is what we can consider a series. It's an inventory of the sorts of tools and their uses that we have at Floating City and the sorts of tools we would really like/need to have for the future.

Each tool should have a linked page to give more detailed tips on their maintenance and tips for use. Tools we own will have a * next to them.

Sand Paper*
Here at FC we should hopefully have a variety of sand paper in a variety of grains. Use them to make dat wood nice and smoooooth. The linked page should contain tips and basic info about types of sand paper.

Chisels and Gouges*
Just as a heads up: chisels and gouges are not screwdrivers or crow bars. Seriously. Don't do that shit. Unless you're doing joinery or sculpting this is not the tool for you!

The linked page should contain information on sharpening, uses and learning resources/inspiration for carpentry and joinery.

Metal
'''NOTE: Never use compressed air to clean a machine that works metal. E.g. metal bandsaw or lathe. Those machines are designed to keep metal filings out of many places and compressed air is great at putting metal filings into those places.'''

Welding Machines
See Welding for detail on each of these machines.
