Large collection of National Geographic magazines (Grove OX12)
The collection is the yellow blur on the bottom shelf in this photo. A bit old-school, but Nat Geog is famous for its clear prose, wide range of articles, and stunning photos. These date from the late 80s to the early noughties, with a few extra editions. More authoritative than random internet research. Could be handy for school projects for anyone still using real scissors and glue; I suspect a few of these will have bits missing. Or just a jolly interesting read!

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?

Inkjet cartridge refill kit (Grove OX12)
I don't use inkjet cartridges any more. Handy if you don't want to buy cartridges! One colour kit and two separate bottles of black ink.

Olympus film camera (Grove OX12)
About 20 years old. Worked fine last time I used it. Comes with a very old roll of film. Good for a first foray into real film photography.

Finepix camera about 20 years old, with 2GB memory card. (Grove OX12)

headphones, folding (Grove OX12)
Gifted
The cable retracts, and the whole thing sort of folds up. The fabric on the padded parts has lost its shiny surface.

Cupboard sensor light (batteries) (Grove OX12)
Gifted
Takes three AAA batteries. there's a bracket that screw to the wall, then the light clips in. Adjustable direction. Works fine but I've bought a rechargeable one. Switch for on/off/auto. On the auto setting it comes on when it's both dark and it detects movement.

Shed Alarm (Grove OX12)
Gifted
Was supplied with a new shed. Could I guess be used for a lockup garage. Unopened so I have no idea how loud it is.

Greenhouse heater paraffin (Grove OX12)
Gifted
As the cold weather comes in, this could be just what you need to keep the frost off your seedlings! Was working when I last used it but that was years ago. Certainly needs a wipe down! Approx 62cm high by 35cm wide

Small charcoal BBQ (Grove OX12)
Hibachi style, used a couple of times. Fine if you are colling for two people - it's standing on 18" slabs in the picture for scale. I'll wait a day or two before responding.

20mm gravel, about a quarter of a dumpy bag (Grove OX12)
Gifted
Left over from a shed base project and now surplus to requirements. Your challenge will be how to get it home. Unless you can get it into a vehicle you'll need to live close to the south end of Brereton Drive.

sharp sand, about a quarter of a dumpy bag (Grove OX12)

Left over from a shed slab and now surplus to requirements. Your challenge is working out how to get it home; unless you can get it into a vehicle you'll need to live close to the south end of Brereton Drive.

Vax filters (Grove OX12)
Gifted
I suspect they are are this type ; bought in a panic during lockdown and now no longer wanted. If you have a VAX these could be for you!

Toolboxes (Grove OX12)
Gifted
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.

VAX filters type 90 to suit Vax Mach upright (Grove OX12)
Expired
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.

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.

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?

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.
