Collection of sewing odds and ends in drawers (Dundon TA11)
Gifted
This was part of my late mother's collection of sewing bits and pieces, some scavenged some bought new. I'd rather see it used than in the tip! Drawers included.

Corner cupboard (Dundon TA11)
It's old and a bit tatty but full of charm. Pretty sound and solid though. We had it in our bathroom for a while but since we've moved house we don't have a place for it. Approx dimensions are 1130 high, 680 wide, 340 deep in the middle. Finished in a blue crackle glaze. Expect a few dings and small scratches because it's been stored in the shed.

Water softener (Dundon TA11)
This is a mains water softener which I had installed in my last house. The water where we are is pretty soft so we don't need it. It is probably well over 20 years old and hasn't been used for 10 years.... It works by softening the water and automatically backwashing the filters at regular intervals with the salt. It does not make the water salty! It is simple to install and takes standard water softener salt which I used to buy from Pure Choice Ltd, which used to be based in Shapwick.

Outboard motor (Dundon TA11)
Gifted

Net making stand (Dundon TA11)
Hand weaving nets is a surprisingly simple and satisfying pastime. This stand gives a base to hold the net while you make it. Comes with two net needles. Instructions on YouTube!

Any odd bits of scaffolding? Any clamps, tubes, flat bases for the vertical tubes to standing? I'm building a sculpture and I need a bit of scaffold to reach the higher bits. I need short bits, long bits anything... single items welcome! Thanks in anticipation...

Request:
Insulation sheet (e.g. Cellotex) or hot water tank cover. (Dundon TA11)
Expired
I'm looking for Cellotex style insulation sheet to box in and insulate a water cylinder. Anything over 50cm X 100cm and any thickness, but ideally 100mm. If anyone has one of those covers for hot water cylinders that would help too. Thanks!

Mitox long reach hedge trimmer for spares (Dundon TA11)
Gifted
Mitox 28LRH long reach hedge trimmer. Sadly defunct. For spares only. I couldn't get it to start so I stripped it and broke off an engine mounting lug. It is not a viable repair for me and I've replaced it with a battery version. The blades were recently replaced and it has had very little use.

Bath taps - Armitage Shanks - unused (Dundon TA11)
Expired
I presume they are 3/4", found them in a box of my father's stuff while tidying up. The blue cap falls off so I suspect it's sticky has come unstuck.

Electric hedge trimmer with very short lead... (Dundon TA11)
Gifted
This was my father's, seen a bit of use but still works and looks OK. He had a way of pruning the lead so it is pretty short. Not sure how he managed it....

Grinding disk 6" (Dundon TA11)
Gifted
Probably old as the hills so at your own risk! That said it I used it about 4 years ago..... It came from my father's bench grinder which was too cracked and broken to be usable.

Grinding disk, course, 8" (Dundon TA11)
Gifted
This came with my new grinder (Screwfix about two years ago) and is surplus... and probably not the best quality. Unused.

Petrol hedge trimmer (Dundon TA11)
Gifted
I had it running a year or so ago but I've not used it or tried it since. (Bought a battery model.) Blades are not bad.

Mitre hand-saw (Dundon TA11)
Gifted
A good bit of kit, was my father's. The blade is rusty after a few years of inactivity but would probably clean up. If not then you could buy a new one. I've already got one so passing this one on....
