Wood for sale / woodwork tables for sale

[Sarah Hill]

Hello. As previously Education for All is once again advertising furniture for re use. For those who do not know, we are a small clearance company / charity located in Corby, Northamptonshire. We clear entire primary and secondary schools and recycle or reuse over 95%. We have a 50,000 square foot warehouse here full of used school furniture which we send to developing countries or re use here in the UK either giving it to other charity projects or selling in to raise money for shipments.

We have many big bulky school science tables which are made of Iroko (the tops) and Beech (the legs). We are selling these for £6 a full table or £3 for either the legs or the top. You will need to pick them up and dismantle them yourselves where necessary.

We also have a lot of woodworking tables and woodwork vices. They are all ex-school so are a bit worn. There is either ones with 2 vices attached (20) or larger ones with 4 vices (£30). We have also removed vices for individual sale (£15)

If your interested and want to pop along and have a look around then please ring Heather on 0845 833 3878. We are open 8-5 mon-thurs (until 2pm on a fri).

Does anyone in the leicester area want to club together & hire a van??

 

[wizer]

Depends on your definition of 'south'. I am happy to 'chip in' to a collective pickup and central distribution. i.e us in the south get together and organise a van or truck to go pick up what we need then deliver back to a central point where members can come and pick up their goods. Does that make sense? Someone else can do the maths, but it must be better than all of us using petrol to get up there and back.

Any pictures of the woodwork benches and vices?

 

[Chems]

Ahhh that will be for me! Corby just up the road.

Stig, look at Wizer's post, it's all in the link.

I wouldn't mind a trip, I'm looking for a bench at the moment. I was going to build one but this could save me the time. Is anyone else from Suffolk interested in going as well. Could combine the trip.

I read through the post from last time and wondering did any one get any of the benches and were the tops and vices any good? I didn't see pictures of the benches, just of the Iroko tops cleaned up.
