The Wishlist is an area to add specific tool and material requests.


==Acquisition==
==General Lab Needs==
Some facts:
*  
*Leasing looks to be impossibly for a business less than 2 years old.  It may be possible to borrow against a single member's credit.  Any takers?
*  
*Corporate donations are few and far between until our 501c3 clears which could take 6 months.
*Current donation drives have been stagnant possibly as a result of their vagueness.
*Kickstarter and other microlending sites look a promising way to fundraise for a very specific goal. 


Lets pick out a list of 'essential' tools in each category.  The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fab_lab Fab Lab] might be a good starting point for this.  For those that are prohibitively expensive, lets choose the ACTUAL tool we ACTUALLY want to buy and post a kickstarter campaign for it.
