Free: 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.

Free: 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.

Free: sharp sand, about a quarter of a dumpy bag (Grove OX12) Gifted 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.

Free: Greenhouse heater paraffin (Grove OX12) Was working when I last used it but that was years ago. Certainly needs a wipe down! Approx 62cm high by 35cm wide

41d

Free: Pillows and duvet (Grove OX12) Several pillows and a king-sized duvet. All used but in a clean condition. Pet bedding for someone?

41d

Free: Magnifying headband (Grove OX12) Gifted Works fine, I bought a slightly better one from a charity shop! Has two levels of stereo magnification and an extra loupe on one side.

49d

Free: Tent pegs (Grove OX12) Gifted A whole bag of tent pegs - I've bought hardcore ones so these are surplus to requirements.

49d

Free: 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!

49d

Free: 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.

Free: 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.

Free: 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?

272d

Free: Tent pegs (Grove OX12) Gifted A bag of tent pegs; about 18cm long, sturdy. Maybe 20 pegs all told. Get ready for the summer!

Free: 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.

Free: 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?

Free: 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.

Free: Blanket chest (Grove OX12) Gifted Good condition, green leatherette. 93cm x 58cm by 45cm high. Top is very strong so you can sit on it. Not suitable for toy storage because the top might slam shut on fingers. Photos include 1m rule for scale. I'll wait a day or two, preferring folk who live nearby (I'm in Grove).

Request: Plastic binding combs (Grove OX12) Received Does anyone have any surplus plastic binding combs - the kind that you used to see on A4 reports and papers? I've got the machine but I'm slowly running out of the combs! Thanks in advance.
