There's all sorts of 'petty
bureaucracy'* that needs to be sorted for something like this and
I'd imagine fablab (or any proper teachers) would have a handle on
this to help get it started. I dont know what FabLab or their
governors (a library organisation/charity that has taken over
devon libraries) would think about this (I've sent an email with
the suggestion today) but if there are people who are up for
running this up the flagpole perhaps we can have a look at what we
can do???
*petty bureaucracy - things someone has thought about and made a
form with questions you pretend you dont want to understand.

I think you could really do well with that, eso as there are
those of us in different areas who could possibly help out if
required. If it was run by the fab lab then you would i guess
come under their insurance too.

Looks like Barnstaple Library could get it's own fablab. Spotted this on
spotlight this morning so found a link on the bbc website. I know
there are people here in North Devon.

Considering doing the volunteer 'training' and splitting some time
between Barnstaple and Exeter... !
They're looking for a full-time technician at Barnstaple (paid) .. but I
know I can't commit to that!

I've been wondering about VanLab - ie fablab in a van
that can be take to smaller communities/schools on a
regular basis*. I spoke to Susanne at Holsworthy on
Tuesday and she said the 3d printer they had there was
chosen for its sturdiness and transportability. Needs
some looking into but could be a goer.
* and subsidised by renting to business?
