Gumroad Summary

Row Labels	Count of Buyer	Sum of Sale ($)
New $60 Maker Subscription	17	1020
New $30 Student Subscription	7	504
Old $50 Maker Membership	9	350

• We raffled off two 30 day memberships... let's have these expire on Feb 28. Steve has issued RFID fobs to them.

In the future, we can create a gumroad product for "pay what you want" where buyer can put in $0 and we can put in the 30 day or (X-day) limit. I like this option because it gets their name and email into gumroad and easier to keep up with the gumroad reports? (ref: https://gumroad.helpjuice.com/11169-Creator-FAQ/pay-what-you-want-pricing)

• Members Setting up new space
• A lot of members cranked hard over past month. Thanks to Chuck, Ryan, Jon, Mike, Alex, Josh, and many others. Some have contributed quietly
• Electrical:
  • Status of energizing the new outlets?
• Woodworking Zone:
  • TBD?
  • Idea: Lumber/large project locker for additional rental, perhaps $10-$20/mo. Lockable dedicated storage. Idea suggested by Bret. Wants to build a large-ish coffee table. Will take up space, doesn't want his lumber to get inadvertently used by others, etc
• Hang Printer:
  • BuildTak: We would be asking them to create a custom 48" x 48" build plate for us and donate it, in return for us using it in our videos and publications. Not sure they would go for it, but we can ask. They, of course, would then be able to use our videos to show off how their product is used even in extreme situations....
