A general list of things we need to bootstrap our space in terms of tooling. There is a separate page for electronics components.

Please add to the list below, including any prices as this will help us target which things we can afford to buy. If a tool is available in the space, please mark it in the list below as "Available in the space". If you can provide a tool, please note as "Xxx will bring to space" (and eventually as "Available" when it arrives).

Items marked with a single heart (♥) are proposed for a first round of donations and (eventually) a pledge to cover purchasing them as a set. More expensive items are marked with double hearts (♥ ♥) and if people are interested in them could eventually be proposed for individual pledges.

Some example prices are included below (typically for Gamma, home-use quality) for reference. The tools may eventually be purchased elsewhere, of course, if better price and similar quality or better quality and similar price prevails...
