Free: Toolboxes (Grove OX12) Two wooden toolmaker's toolboxes. Both came from freegle and I've not yet found them a use. Maybe you can! Feel free to take either or both. They are completely different provenance, but both are wooden, painted, and would benefit from some TLC. The black one is 41x16x33cm and the greeny one is 50x21x28cm. The internal drawers are just wood-on-wood sliding. The green one has some sort of fittings in the lid so has been customised to fit something at some point. Each one has a space inside beneath the bottom drawer.

Free: VAX filters type 90 to suit Vax Mach upright (Grove OX12) Promised I got these during lockdown with a thought to make a filtered air supply. Of course like so many other lockdown projects it never happened - ah, happy memories. Two sets, unbranded but I'm pretty sure they are "Pre & Post Motor HEPA Filter Set for Vax Type 90 Mach Air Upright Vacuum Cleaner", judging by images on ebay.

Free: Odd double screw thread window stay (Grove OX12) Gifted Very heavy, steel I think with a gold-coloured finish. You turn the loop on the end and it opens about 30cm (12 inches) - could be used for a greenhouse or shed window?

Free: Tent pegs (Grove OX12) Gifted A bag of tent pegs; about 18cm long, sturdy. Maybe 20 pegs all told. Get ready for the summer!

Free: Collection of twist drills suitable for wood or soft metals (Grove OX12) Gifted I bought these online, they claimed to be high-speed steel but they won't drill mild steel. Believe me, I've tried. They'd be fine for wood or for soft metals like aluminium or copper. Sizes are 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.2, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7.8, 10 mm. Several of each - see photo. I'd rather get rid of them all in one go. Please say why you want them; I'll wait a few days before I respond.

Free: Used duvet and pillows (Grove OX12) Expired Five large pillows and one king-sized duvet (in box); surplus to requirements. All are clean but used. Any takers for animal bedding etc before I take them to the dump?

Free: SIP 140 Stick Welder (Grove OX12) Gifted My old arc welder. It claims to go up to 140 Amps. it's AC, so okay for welding mild steel about 3mm to about 10mm. I'm happy to show you how to use it, but only take this if you understand the hazards involved (arc flash, electric shock, heat). Not really suitable for welding car body panels. I have progressed to a TIG machine, so this is now surplus to requirements.

Free: Blanket chest (Grove OX12) Gifted Good condition, green leatherette. 93cm x 58cm by 45cm high. Top is very strong so you can sit on it. Not suitable for toy storage because the top might slam shut on fingers. Photos include 1m rule for scale. I'll wait a day or two, preferring folk who live nearby (I'm in Grove).

Request: Plastic binding combs (Grove OX12) Received Does anyone have any surplus plastic binding combs - the kind that you used to see on A4 reports and papers? I've got the machine but I'm slowly running out of the combs! Thanks in advance.

Free: Camping toilet (Grove OX12) Gifted Our friends gave it to us for emergency garden use by guests during lockdown. If it's been used at all it's not very often. Cover is dusty as it's been sat in the garden shed since 2020. Otherwise, as new. I'll give it 24 hours before responding, favouring people who live nearby (Grove/Wantage).

Free: Wooden Garden Arbour, new (Grove OX12) Gifted Bought for a project but not used. It's never been assembled. Comes complete with fastenings and instructions. The package is 170cm high by 60cm wide by 25 cm thick, and jolly heavy. It could be split into smaller parts. It's a while since we bought it, but the instructions name it as a Forest Green Parisienne Arbour - I've included a screen shot of a product by that name but I can't be sure it's exactly the same.
