Issue: The steel of the three bowl gouges in the Woodturning Shop have been spent down to the base and can no longer be sharpened or used.  These bowl gouges are for member use and are also used for the bowl turning classes.  The Woodturning Shop does not have a maintenance budget because the shop steward did not submit a budget to the treasurer.
Solution: Purchase three new bowl gouges for the Woodturning Shop.  
Relevance to Tax Exempt Status: None
Motion: Move to approve $340, allocated from the Equipment Reserve Budget, to purchase three new bowl gouges for the Woodturning Shop, to be spent by 07/31/2026, with any remaining funds to be returned to the Equipment Reserve Budget.

NB5: Replacement Replacement slab roller for the ceramics studio (Bo for Glenda)

Issue: The ceramics shop has been steadily growing over the past 3 years. One of the more heavily used tools is the slab roller. The one we originally purchased was small and low cost to get the studio started. It has seen a lot of love over the years and is breaking down. The handle connection is stripped, the roller guides are plastic and have broken, been fixed, and broken again. It was not meant for the level of use we are seeing now.
Solution: Purchase a higher end slab roller that can handle the regular use of the space and is large enough to meet the needs of the members.
Relevance to Tax Exempt Status: None
Motion: Allocate $1400 from the equipment reserve for a Shimpo 30 inch slab roller, with shipping, for the ceramics studio. All remaining funds will be returned to the general fund by October 31.
