I'm looking for someone (or someones) who has time to come to NIMBY this afternoon or evening and help me build dance pads. I finally have all the parts, and I would really, really, really appreciate some extra hands! :)

At this point, there's a fair bit of quite repetitive but also rather precise metalwork to do. Specifically:

measuring for holes in the (steel) frames
drilling the holes
welding nuts into the holes
grinding those welds flat
welding springs to brackets
welding the brackets to the frames
welding adjusting nut brackets in place
cutting polycarbonate (if I can get a table saw today -- we'll see if the library still has one)
cutting corner brace spacers

If you don't weld or you're out of practice, that's totally fine. What I really need is someone who can help with the drilling (it's a lot of holes... like 60 or 70 of them per pad). If you're not familiar with how to drill holes in metal, I can teach you in a couple minutes. Eye and ear protection will be provided, as required. :)

Matt and I will be at Pick 'n Pull til maybe 3-4pm, and we'll be at NIMBY after that. If you're free and want to help out, give Matt's cell a call: 510-672-0735. We have internet there too, so you can also send a tribe message if you feel like it, and I'll get it.
