Declutter Your Man Cave
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Give a man a fishing net and teach him how to use it and you feed him for a lifetime” This well known saying could never be more relevant than when used to describe the work carried out by Tools For Self Reliance
Which is why Chelwood Bridge Rotary Club have chosen the “Tools For Self Reliance Cymru” (TFSR) Charity as one of its International projects. Our aim is to collect items for TFSR and transport them to their workshop for maintenance before they ship them to Tanzania.
This is a great opportunity for you to recycle those unwanted tools that are taking up space in your garage and put them into the hands of people who will once again put them to use and by doing so help change their lives.
Although all tools and Sewing machines are welcome, the information below given to us by TFSR is a guide and lists items most useful to those they send the items to.
Sewing machines, preferably older solid machines like the black Singers (all types)
Industrial sewing machines
Overlockers
What we really do not need are the really cheap plastic cased ones.
Anvils
Leather working tools
Good quality planes, vices, chisels
Electrical tools and meters
Metric spanners
Any tools made of brass, or brass items as they sell well in the UK at events and help fund the cost of sending the other tools.
Copper and brass scrap is also valuable, including electric motors.
Electric tools can be useful, but preferably the better makes, not the cheap diy ranges which do not last in a busy workshop.
Machinery can be valuable, but please ask first.
Collection Date; Information will be announced shortly.
