== About Me ==
Name: Anne Harrison

Location: Cambridge

== Work ==
Not working at the moment, mostly due to ill health, hoping that being involved with makespace will help me build some stamina, confidence and skills.

== Interests ==
I studied computer science but haven't programmed in seven or eight years and I'm not sure if I want to! I'm generally a lot more interested in creating physical things than doing things on a computer. I did woodwork at school but beyond that my practical experience is limited. I've done a lot more in the more arty crafty side of things, whilst in the US I learnt to quilt and I'm good friends with my sewing machine. Deep down I know I'm not a designer or innovater i'mmbetter at taking other peoples ideas and figuring out how to make them faster or stronger.

== Projects ==
I make beadwoven jewellery and I plan to make some clasps at makespace. I'd love to get involved with group stuff.

Anne:

Do you need to learn, grok, grasp, make, dig, instrument utilize something and searching for a skill, knowhow, here you might find the person who has it. And why not share what you know ?

Equipment/ToolClasses

2013-05-13T14:33:23Z

Anne:

[[Equipment|Equipment]] / Tool Classes

= Tool Classes =

All tools in Makespace are classified into the following three classes. The tools will be marked with coloured stickers, tape, tags or paint.

Before using a tool, be sure to identify what class the device is in.

== RED ==
- High risk of personal injury or moderate or higher risk of damage to equipment from untrained use -

'''Induction Mandatory.'''

This category are devices where there is a high risk the operator will do more damage to themselves than can be fixed with a plaster or that the equipment represents a high barrier to entry that will result in equipment damage if used by an un-inducted operator.

The device is '''NOT TO BE USED''' unless you have been through and passed the induction plan for the device.

== ORANGE ==
- Low to moderate risk of personal injury -

''Training optional, but you must feel confident in the use of the device and have read the related wiki page.''

''If you are in any way unsure, you must stop and ask for help.''

These are the types of devices that most Makespace members will likely already be familiar with and have used at some point; Jigsaws, power drills and soldering irons being examples. If a member is unsure how to use a device, then structured training will be available. Members can be ‘asked’ to attend training if they are seen to be struggling, but the expectation is people will know their limits and be responsible and ask for help.

== GREEN ==
- Negligible Risk -

No formal safety training offered.

Devices that represent low to no risk. If you need help with one of these, just grab the nearest member and ask.

== Unmarked ==
Unmarked items are probably green, but if you're uncertain, check the wiki. Use your common sense!
