Two interior wooden doors (Sandford, near Crediton)
These doors worked as a pair so they include an overlapping central lip. Painted panelled wood. 1.96m high; one is about 67 cm wide, the other about 68 cm. They have been stored in the dry in a well ventilated outbuilding so are a bit grubby, but nothing that a wash-down wouldn't cure. (The artistic bucket at the bottom is not there to hide any damage, just to keep the doors straight for the photo!)

Alko brand electric shredder H2200 (Sandford, near Crediton)
A venerable product, but the blades are easy to sharpen. The top funnel and the down pipe are joined, and lift off as one from the motor unit.

8" Adjustable clamps (Sandford, near Crediton)
Promised
Like similar makes, the clamp head can be turned round so the device pushes out rather than pulls in. I have ten of these available. If you want a smaller quantity I suggest you take them all, then recycle onwards what you don't want to keep.

Hepsleve Drain "bits and bobs" (Sandford, near Crediton)
Left-overs from a spot of house-building umpty-ump years ago. As well as all the offcuts of straight pipe there are two 45deg bends, three 22.5 bends, two T's and a number of joiners. Useful perhaps for maintenance, repairs - or if all else fails, hardcore for a soakaway?

Electric Concrete Mixer (Sandford, near Crediton)
Gifted
Venerable "Belle" electric concrete mixer. Not been used for some while but stored in an undercover, ventilated space. Yes, there's some cosmetic surface rust on the painted surfaces, but the important bit, the inside of the drum, is very clean. See the photos. I know it works because I tried it this afternoon.

"Logs from newspapers gadget" (Sandford, near Crediton)
This solidly made steel device is a mould into which you can jam water-logged newsprint. Using the two black handles you compact the material until it makes a dense solid rectangular block. Lay the blocks out to dry. They then burn nicely on your winter fires. More detailed instructions included.

35mm slide scanner (Sandford, near Crediton)
Gifted
VEHO "colourbright" VFS-004 35 mm film and slide scanner. Connects to and is powered from Windows PC via USB 2. Little used. It's from 2010, so nearly old enough to get a provisional driving licence, so no guarantees it can be persauded to work in your set up, but if you would like to try - it's yours! Packed in cylindrical container 28 cm x 14 cm dia.

Unused chimney TV aerial (Sandford, near Crediton)

I bought this years ago in an attempt to improve my TV reception, but then I found it wasn't going to help in my particular location. Been stored in the dry ever since.

Battery electric "trimmer" (Sandford, near Crediton)
Gifted
Internal battery charged via USB C port. Interchangeable "shrub" cutter and grass cutter heads. Up to 60 minutes run time per charge. I got it originally as an experiment, and was surprised to find it did actually do what it says on the box - but it's not really suitable for any heavy duty work. Lightly used.

Hedge Trimmer (Sandford, near Crediton)
Gifted
Very little used Draper machine running on 25:1 2-stroke fuel. Works fine, just too heavy (at 5.5 kg) for me to use for any length of time!

Office Chair (Sandford, near Crediton)
Expired
Fabric of seat and backrest in excellent condition. The back rest fixing screw would benefit from some attention (but works). The up/down adjustment also still works but has started a slight leak of its oil. Nonetheless if you want a short term chair, or might use it in a shed or workshop, it would be fine.

MIG Welder (Sandford, near Crediton)
Gifted
A MIG welding machine "MIG 185" operating from ordinary single phase 13A mains power. Although perhaps thirty years old, this has been very little used, and apart from being dusty should be in full working order. (I used it a few times early on but then got distracted by other hobbies) The unit stands 65 cm high on its wheels, 35 cm wide and about 80 cm deep. There's one roll of wire in the machine plus one new unopened roll, two CO2 cartridges and a partial cylinder, gloves and an eye-shield. Please note this item is heavy and it will be necessary to collect in a vehicle (such as a van) with no lip to lift it over. A PDF of the User Guide can be found here:

5 concrete pipes (Sandford, near Crediton)
Expired
These, as you can see from the photos, have been around for while but are in good functional condition. Each 1 m long, about 45 cm internal diameter, 54 cm outside. They are lipped, so can be laid so they join up. The railings in the photo are not there because the pipes are aggressive, but because in recent hot weather sheep have taken to sheltering in them, then get stuck (no reverse gear), and I'm tired of pulling them out! With possible collection in mind, please note these are VERY heavy. There is vehicle access.

Fabric binding straps (Sandford, near Crediton)
Expired
About 30 or 40 fabric straps with a self-locking / easy unlocking type of fastener. Popular in the 70s and 80s. Perhaps useful in the garden shed or elsewhere? Mostly about 24", some a bit longer.
