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.
Assets
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 to start.
Some ideas:
- 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 and sponsorships
- Kickstarter and other microlending sites have proven to work for us
