Wishlist

This is a list of random junk which I'm looking for, for various projects. In the spirit of http://uk.freecycle.org/, I like to recycle things where I can. I also have a box of odds and ends, so if you're looking for something electrical or mechanical, let me know as I might have it :)

  • Fire extinguisher/air tank
    • Doesn't have to work, but should be airtight
      • Ideally not a CO2 extinguisher
      • To be used as a 100psi air compression chamber
  • Arc welder/welding supplies
    • For welding steel, etc.
  • Fishing rod
    • For use as a portable antenna mast
  • USB WiFi adapters
    • Must have an external antenna connection
    • Ideally compatible with a recent ARM linux kernel
  • Bike brake pads
    • For my FreeCycle bike
  • Electronic igniter/spark source
    • Could be a Piezo Igniter from a BBQ, cooker or lighter
    • Could also be a disposable camera flash (I can give you the film intact)
    • Will possibly be used to make a pie cannon
    • You can play with the pie cannon
  • Lighting gels
    • Offcuts for photography/party lighting
  • Storage box with lid
    • Must be weatherproofable
    • Minimum dimensions 50x30x20cm

I will almost certainly use these items for the good of other people, and/or to teach new skills. If you can help me with any of them, I'll be super grateful :)
