Free: Computer Monitor (Edgiock B96) Promised HP Compaq LA1951g Monitor screen. 19inch diagonally. This is an older-style screen with max resolution 1280 x 1024. It has a number of connectors on the back, but the only one I have had any success with is the 15 pin VGA port (yellow circled in the photo). **update** apparently, the larger port in the middle is a DVI socket, which many tower and desktop PCs use for their video output. The small square socket next to the 2 x USB sockets is a USB socket like the one on some printers. it is so you can use the screen as an extension USB and plug (e.g. ) USB sticks into the screen instead of the computer. ** thanks to two users who have provided more info** As you can see from the last picture, I can run an identical screen OK from my laptop using a cable from the laptop's mDP port to the screen's VGA port. Mains cable supplied, but you will need to provide your own VGA cable, to connect to whatever computer you are using it with. Collect any time by arrangement. Big drive, easy pull in.

Free: 240v Electric motor (Edgiock B96) Gifted Good working order, a 240v electric motor removed from a defunct saw bench. Motor body approx 8cm diameter. Cable has been cut so needs a new mains cable. Could be used to power a lathe, saw, or some other project. If required I can also give you a start/stop switch unit, with wires attached. Seems a shame to take it to the recycling centre. Collection any time by arrangement - wide drive, easy pickup.

Free: Black & Decker Chop Saw (Edgiock B96) Gifted Bench top 240v circular chop saw by Black and Decker. You will have to buy and fit a new blade, but otherwise this is in good working order. The table rotates to permit accurate mitre cuts. It has a dust extraction port, and will run from a normal 13a mains socket. The pictures show the saw as you will get it, with no blade fitted. The size of blade you will need is 305mm diameter, with a 30mm hole. This is a standard size you can get anywhere online, or Screwfix, or similar. I will explain to you how to fit it. Note the central bolt that holds the blade on is a left-hand thread, as indicated. I have put one picture of it with a saw blade fitted, to show you how it will be, and to give you an idea of what the blade looks like. It is designed to fit on a table, Workmate or workbench (white table in the picture is NOT included). NOT for selling on. Please explain why you want it. Easy pick up from wide pull-in drive. Should fit into any car boot.

Request: Old tables, bookcases etc (Edgiock B96) Expired Hi. I'm looking for any old unwanted brown furniture, in any condition - broken, damaged, stained etc. I dismantle it, strip it down to the bare wood and then make new, medieval-style furniture, chests and boxes for Living History and reenactment groups.

Free: Spinning Wheel (Edgiock B96) Gifted Our lovely old Dutch spinning wheel. We bought it new when we were living in Holland in 1987 and used it for years, producing our own handspun knitting wool from raw sheep's fleece. Spinning is a very therapeutic and enjoyable pastime. We haven't used it now for some years and decided it is time to pass it on for someone else to enjoy. Complete and in working order. We may have some other spinning bits to add to it. Easy pickup, wide drive to pull in and turn.

Free: Flat melamine Table Top (Edgiock B96) Gifted This is a very serviceable table top (no legs, needs 2 trestles or similar). 1500 x 800 x 30mm thick. White(ish) and very sound. It's a good flat piece of board, very sturdy. Would make an excellent surface for art or craft work, dressmaking etc. Or an extra work surface in a workshop. I think it may have come originally from Ikea. Probably best to check it will fit into your vehicle before you collect. Easy pick up - wide drive to pull in and turn.

Free: Old Singer Treadle Sewing Machine (Edgiock B96) Gifted A lovely vintage Singer Sewing Machine. This is the old "built-into-a-table" type, with a manual treadle to drive it. The whole machine folds down neatly into the table, leaving a flat tabletop. As far as we know this still works, when last used. We salvaged it from Mother-in-Law's house clearance some years ago and kept it for sentimental reasons. Now we've decided its time to pass it on. It's a lovely old thing - do remember it is a manual (foot treadle) machine - the only electric thing on it is a small light above the sewing deck. Its a bit cumbersome to carry but not too heavy, and it should fit easily into a smallish hatchback. It probably belongs in a museum, or as a display piece in a dressmakers, but you could even use it as a sewing machine. They are often turned (gasp) into coffee tables. Easy pick up - wide drive to pull in and turn. Fair offer policy applies (names in a hat if more than one reply)

Request: Old wooden furniture. (Edgiock B96) Expired I rescue old unwanted, tatty or broken brown wood furniture - tables, bookcases, cupboards etc. Anything made of solid wood (not chipboard or veneer) - usually dark brown and often oak or similar wood. The pictures show the sort of things I want - doesn't matter if it is incomplete, broken, stained or scratched. I carefully dismantle and clean up the wood, then re-make the pieces into medieval-style furniture, mostly for reenactors. Look online to see things I have made from reclaimed oak: or YouTube channel "Orphaned Oak". I am keen to collect any item of such furniture you may be getting rid of, or is lying in the back of the shed/garage unloved and unwanted. I am retired and this woodworking is my hobby. I am based near Astwood Bank and can collect more or less any time to suit you. Thank you for reading this request
