This wiki page lists a number of tools which we would be interested in making available for use in the space, but which do not currently exist. See the Inventory page for a list of all of the tools which do exist.

We hope that we will eventually be able to acquire many of these tools. Depending on the interests of members, we expect that various items will eventually be the objective of dedicated ledge drives and/or direct purchases via funds available to the space. Others may be acquired through donation or loan. If you or someone you know has something on this list which you would be willing to donate or loan, please makes this known to the other members.
