Open Shop

Reminder 1 - bring your own supplies to Open Shop - blue tape, glue, double-sided tape, pencils, etc.  Disposable items are generally not supplied by the Guild for personal use.  

Reminder 2 - that old boy scout rule applies to the shop as well - leave it cleaner than you found it.  Just a reminder to clean the tools you worked with - tool, floor, innards etc.  It's always nicer to come in to a clean shop than one left messy.

and DID YOU KNOW - that you can look at the shop activity on the Guild website?  You can see if there's space at an open shop that may have been full, but cleared out within 2 hours. If you're going to be more than 30 minutes late for an open shop slot, you can see if the SA is still there. (they stay for 30 minutes and if no one shows, they can leave).  check it out here: Shop Cameras
