Free: Stained Bamboo Rod (Ditmas Park, Brooklyn) Gifted 73d - Roughly six feet long. Pictured with hand to show scale. It is light and hollow, but reasonably strong for what it is.

Free: Sound Absorbers (Ditmas Park, Brooklyn) 73d - If you’re interested in these, you probably already know that they are NOT “soundproofing.” Soundproofing (i.e. construction measures to resolve your neighbors’ noise complaints, or to keep their incessant Zoom aerobics classes, loud TV, barking dogs, etc. out of your space) involves serious building. The items posted here are damping devices for making a room less echoic (so, like, turning a small room into a decent-sounding podcasting studio or vocal booth). One of the items pictured is no longer available. Here is a list of the rest: Two burlap-wrapped wood frames housing a 2-foot by 4-foot by 2-inch-thick Auralex foam absorber. Two open wood frames housing similar Auralex foam Two two-foot square sheets of 1⁄8-inch plywood with same-size Auralex foam absorbers affixed to them with silicone caulk (this method of adhesion is not as strong as Auralex Tubetak Pro, but it holds, and it makes removing the foam much less of a hassle) An empty wood frame for mounting 2-foot-wide by 2-inch-thick Auralex foam absorbers to the wall or ceiling Three loose, 2-foot by 2-foot by 2-inch-thick Auralex absorbers One more 2-foot by 2-foot by 2-inch Auralex absorber in two pieces (cut to fill the empty wood frame neatly) Two loose 4-foot by 2-foot by 2-inch Auralex foam absorbers Three additional absorbers made by affixing 2-inch by 2-inch Auralex corner fills to 1⁄8-inch plywood with silicone caulk NOTE: Most or all of the foam was, at some point or another, Tubetaked into place, as can be seen by the paint patterns on the back. It was all, however, carefully removed with an emphasis on preserving the foam. The foam is not in mint condition. Some of it looks near-new on the front side, and some of it looks so-so, but it is all intact and works like new for its intended purpose.

Free: Three MDF panels, different sizes (Ditmas Park, Brooklyn) 83d - The pictures are probably enough to decide if you want these, but here are some more specifics: The rough dimensions of the panels are… 19.5” x 91.75” 20” x 91.75” 39.25” x 92” They are all ¾” thick. As you can see, they have some small, coarsely filled holes where bolts used to pass through them. I’ll be bringing the panels via elevator, so expect the multiple trips to take some time. I will do all the carrying to your pickup vehicle. Inquiries seeking the whole lot, as opposed to individual pieces, will be given preferential treatment. Without detailing my system of setting priority for potential takers, just rest assured that I take appointments seriously and will be ready at our agreed time and in our agreed place.

Free: Lumber: some cut, some as purchased (Ditmas Park, Brooklyn) Gifted 83d - There are some things in the attached picture I’m not giving away, but I would like to give you the 2 x 4’s and 2 x 6’s, and maybe some other lumber I don’t remember is in there. FYI, the ceiling in the picture is eight feet high, so that should give you a rough sense of lengths. Some of the pieces have a few screw holes, but they’re in good shape overall and I’m pretty sure they’re free of all snags like nails and screws at this point. I’ll be bringing it via elevator, so expect the multiple trips to take some time. I will do all the carrying to your pickup vehicle, and I’ll do my best to have it bundled up in advance for the smallest number of trips. Inquiries seeking the whole lot, as opposed to individual pieces, will be given preferential treatment. Without detailing my system of setting priority for potential takers, just rest assured that I take appointments seriously and will be ready at our agreed time and in our agreed place.
