Wishlist

The Wishlist is an area to add specific tool and material requests. Tools donated or acquired by HeatSync Labs can be found on the Library page.

Acquisition

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 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.

For cheaper tools Auctions, Craigslist and Cheap Chinese Tools are probably the way to go.
