Some things I'm willing to donate flat out. However, with regards to some tools, I would be willing to let them live there, be used, accept some inevitable level of theft and disappearance, but eventually take them with me in the event I moved away. -Jonlesser 00:18, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Giving Stuff to Node
Two ways to give physical materials to the Node.
- Donations
- Loans
Donations
Donations are items given to the Node outright and are the Nodes to decide how to use. Donors may ask that certain equipment be used in a certain way but ultimate donations are Node property.
Once donated items may be divided into these categories:
- Scavenge/raw material - Items meant for creative reuse: part scavenging, power tool race cars, whatever. Everything defaults to scavenge unless otherwise specified.
- Tools - These items are donated with the intent that they be used in their current or repaired state. Tool items should not be scavenged. If a tool item is to be discarded, some attempt should be made to contact its donor and see if they want it back. Example: a belt sander that should not be made into a power tool race car.
- Other purpose - If an item is needed for a specific purpose (parts for particular workshop, item to sell at auction, etc. ) it should be clearly labeled with such intent.
- Discard. - Why did you leave it here? Too lazy to find a dumpster?
Discard policy
The Node will conduct quarterly(sooner if needed) sweep of items in the space. Scavenge/raw materials will be cut down to a specified space, size constraint. Large items will be evaluated for usefulness (has it been used recently? is there member support for keeping it?). Owners of loaned items should be ready to remove them if needed during these quarterly sweeps. They will be give a reasonable time(TBD) to pick it up.
Loans
Conditional offer of the temporary use of a specific thing. "Here it is, I'll be wantin' it back, so take care of it." Limited to tools for use. Loans should not leave the space except in the possession of their original owner. Tool loaners are responsible for clearly labeling the loaned tool with their name and some indication that it is on loan to the Node and not donated to the Node. The owner of the loaned tool must agree to hold the Node harmless should the loaned tool be damaged, lost, or stolen. Loaned tools may be used by any member, so long as they're able to use the tool safely and without damaging it.
