We have around 12 large metal sheets available, measuring 2.5 x 1m. They’re very heavy but we haven’t weighed them. They are magnetic but we’re unsure exactly what type of metal.

For collection from Open Eye Gallery (19 Mann Island, L3 1BP) ASAP.

sold

I’ve got two power amps I don’t need, as all my PA gear now has them built in. Both are 19″ rack enclosures, one is 1U high and is 75+75w, and the other is 2U high and 250+250w.

Might suit best if you were putting together a permanent installation.

Hello all I am looking for a quantity of wooden cotton reels (or even corks in quantity) and green thin plastic or green silicon. I live and work in Wirral (based at Wellington Road Art Studios) but do come into the central part of Liverpool fairly regularly by train and can meet to collect.

I have been using these materials for making flower models and recently taught a workshop in this and had a really great response of people wanting to do it but need to replenish my stock.

The green I had was donated by a sign writer years ago but obviously making flowers we used lots of green for the leaves! it was thin but flexible, green plastic bags would not cut it/do the job. As you can see from the photo, the green edges of Vitalite would do it too if you go through vast quantities of this or even the green mushroom boxes.

for more images go to my blog https://abscraft.uk/2024/02/12/new-day-recycling-workshop/ or pinterest https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/600808406567852628

Many thanks, Alison at info@abscraft.com

Acoustic guitar available, frets are very worn and many notes don’t sound correctly. The guitar body still looks fine and could be re-fretted. Ideal for theatre prop.

Collection only, Crosby area.
