Process for Purchasing Supplies at The Joinery #

As our membership continues to grow, so does the utilization of our tools and supplies. To ensure we maintain our resources and provide a quality experience for all members, we are implementing a new process for purchasing supplies. This process will help manage the increased wear and tear on our tools and ensure everyone has access to necessary materials.

Overview of Changes #

•Introduction of Supply Fees: The Joinery will now provide essential supplies, such as glue and sandpaper, for a small fee. This adjustment aligns us with other maker spaces and shared shops.

•Supply Location: All supplies available for purchase will be located in the drawer cabinet by the loft stairs.

•Payment Process: Members will log their purchases, and charges will be applied to their Club Express accounts at the end of each month.

Step-by-Step Purchasing Process #

1.Select Supplies:

▪Visit the drawer cabinet located by the loft stairs.

▪Choose the supplies you need (e.g., glue, sandpaper).

2.Log Your Purchase:

▪Indicate the quantity of each item you are taking in the logbook placed on top of the cabinet.

▪Ensure your entries are clear and legible for accurate billing.

3.Monthly Billing:

▪At the end of each month, your Club Express account will be charged for the supplies you logged.

▪Keep track of your usage to manage your budget effectively.

4.Lumber Purchases: #

▪For lumber purchases, send a message to Steven via Discord with the specifics of the board sizes you need.

▪Ensure your requests are clear to facilitate timely processing.

5.Future Online Purchasing: #

▪We are working towards rolling out an online purchasing process in the coming weeks for added convenience.

Important Notes #

•Members are always welcome to bring in their own materials or purchase supplies directly from The Joinery.

•This new supply process aims to help defer costs associated with tool repairs and maintenance, which have increased due to operator error and normal wear and tear.
