An Amaco tabletop potters wheel. Works fine, nice and smooth. Shown here after a clean.
A ransom Cuisinart sauté pan. Needed a light cleaning but is now ready to go.
A random PS4, missing the storage drive. We slapped in a scavenged drive and reinstalled the system and it seems to work.
A Giant Cypress hybrid bike that has been neglected a little. It will be tuned up and rehomed.
Four dining chairs that are quite nice solid wood construction. One of them has a broken back frame and maybe some woodworm, so that will need to be investigated.
Small white lamp with weird flowery bud structures on the shade. It is not apparent the future owner of this will like but they will be having no choice in the matter.
Four random lamps. One had a bad switch, which is now replaced. All will be pushed into the lamp supply chain for people with a deficit of lamps.
Two newish Bessey clamps, seemingly unused. Most modern clamps are junky so we are not super interested in them, but the Bessey brand on these made the difference.
Restored vintage ones are still nicer though.
Mongoose Crossway 250 hybrid bike. Had a couple of rust spots here and there and had been left to gather dust but that is cleaned up and now it is ready for a new rider.
A random rocking chair of no great notability. One of the arms was unmoored from the back, but we fixed that and gave it all a coat of tung oil. Looks pretty nice now.
A random Heywood and Wakefield side table from 1955. These are now quite collectable it seems, this one might need a little light refinishing.
A wooden dresser made of really nice hard wood. It is old and a little dinged up. We had to put in new stops at the back of the rails to get the drawers to line up nicely when closed.
This Giant Simple Seven is a seven speed beach cruiser. It needed a new trist shifter and a tuneup but is good to go now.
It is a strange ride, but then we did not test it on or near a beach, so what do we know.
Some random lamps that needed cleaning and testing. All now delivered to a place where people who need them will be able to access them.
A random Dyna-Glo grill by the side of the road with a very nice weather cover. Luckily the wheels were fine so we wheeled it over to the house of some friends who were in need of such an item. There were 3 slices of aubergine inside on the top rack.
Update: they put on a gas bottle and it works fine with nice even blue flames all round.
Joovy Room 2 baby bed or general container, depending on waking state or whatever. Perfect condition, shoud be useful for the impending visit of very small relatives at some stage in the future.
Marins Redwoods mountain bike with that classic Marin frame cross section from the period. Nice bike, rides well after tuneup, and should clean up exceot for the rust on the forks.
Liv Enchant juvenile mountain-ish bike in almost new condition. Very up to date with a one-by gearing configuration.
A Go-Pro Hero 3 with waterproof case. We will be investigating the founda footage at some point. No charging cable so functionality on this not yet tested.
A nice Gary Fisher Napa mountain bike in good condition. Needed air in the tires and had a couple of rusty bolts etc, but is now good to go.
A 30 liter drysack with some random logo on it. Kind of afraid to look it up but no matter.
A weird lamp that is pretending to constructed out of the parts of a croquet set. A little strange and bit of a dust catcher in various ways.
The twist switch is missing the knob so we will be fixing that and passing it on.
A Radio Flyer branded big wheel style device. Useful for impending visit of small relatives.
A chopping board made of laminated maple and mahogany or some such. It was very dirty and had a lot of cut marks on it but it turns out that a thickness planer is really good at cleaning all that up.
Meta-moment, aforementioned thickness planer has appeared on this page.
Four lamps, all with bulbs and all tested as working. Pretty spiffy. They will soon be illuminating homes that are not ours.
A random dining table with an inset tiled top. It needed a clean but is now ready to go and have some dinner served on it.
Clearly it may have been associated with the two chairs we got at the same time and place.
A Mutsy iGo stroller in good condition. After a clean and airing out it is ready for a new home.
Two random matching lamps, and also two lamp shades that serendipitously showed up at the same time. The plugs are a little suspect but we will check them out and then get them into the supply chain for reuse.
The Giant (or at least designed by Goant) Simple Seven is a beach cruiser with a one by seven gearset. It is a nonsense bike, built for form rather than function but we should be able to get this one ridable again and find a home for it.
Four assorted extension cords. Lots of people need these from time to time.
A small belt grinder, all dusty and neglected. As yet untested, it will be a project for somebody at some stage.
Two matching wooden dressers. Cleaned and polished and ready for new homes.
