Brogan does not wish to be a weenie… however….
Brogan brought to light some questions regarding the working habits and practices of selected clan members as they pertain to tool use, safety issues, etc. specifically mentioned was the lathe and band saw. It was pointed out that while these tools are useful and fun to work with, that they are inherently dangerous. Certain liability questions were raised in light of the fact that the shop is Aonghus’ place of business. The first concern however, is the safety of all members of the clan.
Resolution: Erlan motioned to appoint Brogan the “Safety Nazi”. Motion passed. Brogan will hold a shop safety/tool use class in the near future. The class will focus on lathe use. It was also determined that if any clan member is seen to be misusing or improperly using a tool, they will be directed not to use that tool until they have been properly instructed in its safe use, and have been checked out on said tool.
Monus brought up the issue of including medieval
paraphenalia, etc., in his and Colin’s hobby shop business, and asked all clan members to give some thought towards giving workshops to people who may not have any knowledge at all about medievalism. Momus stated that any clan member giving such a workshop would be compensated for their time and effort. Momus and Colin announced that they intend to merchandise at next year’s Pennsic event.
