NB5: Fume Room Project (Jim for John C)

 Issue:  We have recurring issues with Members using odorous adhesives, paints, and resins in general areas.  We also have issues with glue-up and resin projects in the Woodshop.

Solution: 

Establish a new Shop at Leesburg to provide Members a dedicated, clean, well-ventilated, area for resin, glue-ups, can spraying, airbrushing, vapor smoothing 3D prints, and other odor mitigation.

     Our intent is to clean out the room adjacent to Woodturning, duct the spray booth directly out the back of the building, update ventilation & lighting, provide basic PPE, and add a metal shelving rack for short-term drying storage of projects.  The room will also house the flammables storage box that is taking up space in the alcove between the Woodshop & Woodturning.

     Thanks to the generous donation of this spray booth, the largest expense for the buildout of this  Shop has been taken care of.  An equivalent model purchased new today would cost roughly $3000. We’ve also been able to provide a number of smaller items needed to finish the buildout of the Shop at no cost.  Below is a list of components that still need to be purchased.

     Annual operating costs are expected to be quite low.  Members will be responsible for providing their own respirator filters as well as any resins or paints.

     Providing this Shop will also open up the opportunity for new resin and painting related classes that Members and non-Members ask for frequently.

Relevance to Tax Exempt Status: None

Motion: Approve Project Budget of $1500 to come from the Equipment Reserve Fund for purchase of following items to establish Leesburg Fume Room with any remainder to be returned to the Equipment Reserve Fund by May 31st, 2026.
