Lending rules

2.	Power tools go out for 5 days, hand tools for 14.
3.	Late returns pay $1 per tool per day.

Checking tools back in
Scan the tool's barcode, look it over with the member, and put it on the return cart. Never shelve a tool you have not checked.
Cleaning and sharpening
Wipe blades with a dry cloth. Chisels and plane irons go in the sharpening bin by the bench grinder.
Reporting damage
Tag the tool in red, write the problem on the tag, and add a line to the damage log. Do not try to repair power tools yourself.
