Free: Precision Mitre Saw 550mm (Highworth SN6) Gifted This is sold under various names but this description is from Toolstation where they're sold new for ~£50: "Workshop saw for the accurate cutting of various angles or mitres on picture frames, architraves etc. Solid diecast saw table with four adjustable chrome plated guide rods. Extra material vice clamp for use with short workpieces. 550mm 14tpi wood blade." As you can see the blade is a bit rusty but that'll wear off when it's used. This is good for the ocassional jobs but not really practical for lots of cutting!

Free: Maxpedition ''Jumbo Versipack' dark green (Highworth SN6) Gifted Manufacturer's description: "Purposefully designed, the multi-functional Jumbo has a quick release buckle and tuck-in flap for immediate access to multiple pockets & dividers, a spacious rear compartment with Hook-&-Loop interior for CCW, a paracord cinch pouch fitted for 32oz/1L water bottle or radio, and a quick-release ergonomic shoulder & waist strap for fluent mobility." I've been using this one for more than 10 years and it's still got life left so a shame to throw it away. The main zip sometimes doesn't close properly and the inside flaps (added extra to keep the interior covered) are a bit frayed but other than that it's perfectly servicable. New cost more than £80 so I'd like to request that whoever takes it makes a donation to Freegle running costs via their website. I'll wait a few days before deciding who gets this if there's more than one reply - thank you for you understanding.
