Hey all,
It’s sort of bittersweet but my wife took a job in New Jersey this summer and we are going to be moving there in October. But as comes with something like that, I have a lot of material hanging around from various projects over the years that I am under spousal pressure not to move with, so if anyone is interested you are welcome to any of them. (Or if they would go well in the community material pile(s) I can bring them over but in that case let me know so I don’t just dump a bunch of junk and run.) But here is a brief list of what’s available, with some crude pictures as well. If more specifics would be helpful just ping me (i’ll put a note on slack as well).
Wood:
- Baltic birch plywood. There is at least a full 5x5 each of 3/4’’, 1/2’’ and 1/4’’, plus partial sheets of each width. (The second one was often almost half price…)
- A bunch of regular plywood, various widths and sizes.
- A couple of 10’’ 2x6’s plus I think at least one full length 2x4.
- Lots of scrap hardwood that is either planed on one side or planed+thicknessed. Mostly ash but some shorter lengths of cherry and I think a few pieces of walnut.
- 4 spare drawers. 3 from an old ikea table that are still sturdy and one solid maple from an old side table.
Aluminum:
- 1 sheet of 1/4’’ thick aluminum plate, roughly 2’ x 3’ (see picture)
- 1 ~3’ length of solid 1 1/4’’ square aluminum (in the wood scrap picture)
Steel:
-
A bunch of random pieces of scrap steel <2’’ long, various shape/sizes. (see picture)
-
A couple pieces of ~4ft angle iron (roughly I think 1 1/2’’ x 1/4’’)
-
4 piece of steel square tube, 1 1/2’’ wide by I think 3/16’’ or 1/4’’ thick. (see picture)
-
Some 3/4’’ shafting material, plus a few other pieces of stainless rod 2-3’ long.
I also have an unopened 6000btu window air conditioner. I was going to put that on craigslist for $50 but if anyone needs that and can pick it up I can probably be talked down. If the hive itself needs that I will donate it.
Anyway, it’s been a delight being part of the community the last four years and I regret not being able to make it over there more often with various kids being born and pandemics passing through. I’ve learned a ton from you all and have enjoyed every minute of it. Let me know if you want any of the stuff!
