Well, my personal site (UK) for selling and giving away stuff is not getting a lot of enquiries so far. I guess it's just reach.
I have updated it with the next lot of objects though.
Slippers! Vintage Computing! Power supplies! DIY music gear salvage! Headphones! random crap!
If you are in the UK please look!
I am shocked. Shocked. Well not that shocked

Garage sale ebike rebuild project continues. Painted this over the last few days, also clearcoated. Will let it dry for 48 hours before starting to reattach components. Need to invest in parts to get it back on the road, but I want to make sure the electronics all work before the high cost items (battery, tires), which will extend this rebuild significantly... supply chain management... #ebike #bikerepair #biketooter #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle
Did you know the deodorant brand Wild has been sold to Unilever?
It sucks, I liked their product cos it's vegan and refillable. And I didn't wanna get rid of my nice metal case!
ANYWAY turns out Fussy deodorant refills fit in Wild cases perfectly and smell great. Don't buy from Unilever! Support the boycott and support Gaza.

Sharpened surface on one side, just for comparison. No corrosion, single surface. Might be a few burrs I could clean there, but it cuts perfectly. #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle #sharpening
Now wicked sharp! Anyone need a small pile of rags cut into tiny pieces, lol? Now I have a decent pair of sewing shears, AND I have learned how to sharpen them. #sharpening #sewing #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle

Framed a few drawings. I always use secondhand frames, because I prefer re-using old things over buying new. Just a small act of resistance to consumerism.

@twoowls73 Excellent! Tagging for #SolarPunkSunday !

Kid: "no one is going to want that old plastic patio box, you should just throw it away in the trash"
Me: Post on Craigslist... gone within an hour.
(he has yet to learn almost any crap you have can be given away at the right price on Craigslist).

Do you have a running or sports watch that is running out of battery? I am uk based and offer watch battery replacement and button fettling as a service, to keep them out of landfill.
I know that Garmin has excellent customer service, but some people want to keep their existing watches going for longer.
I use quality components from reputable suppliers, get in touch if you want to discuss
Likely, the areas I am gluing may cause problems in the future (when it rains again). But, this table is likely to be used for potted plants! So... not too concerned about it. Also tightened all the screws so it doesn't creak. (To be continued after the glue dries on the repairs). 5/5 #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle #furniture
Also put some teak oil after that. Still have to get all the wood again and under the stuff being glued. I find teak oul takes a few coats to absorb well. 4/x #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle #furniture
After planing and sanding it, this is what it looked like. I was not so concerned about bring it down to fresh wood everywhere... it's just a patio table. 3/x #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle #furniture
