I go by "AJ". "AJ" in my industry (events) is slang for an adjustable spanner. This is not a coincidence. Definitely a spanner, sometimes adjustable.

Nottinghack's current sparky-in-residence, unfortunately not as multi skilled as previous role holders.

I like CNC & 3D printing and metalworking. Not very good at any of it.

Most likely found in a bin. Or a fuse board.

Tools I have and might lend you

• Power drill and driver
• Circular Saw
• Wrecking Saw (Recip Saw/Sawzall)
• Oscillating Multitool
• 4.5in Angle Grinder
• Big (12in?) Angle Grinder
• Jigsaw
• Heat gun
• Crowbar
• Bolt cutters
• MAPP torch and other stuff for soldering plumbing
• Selection of spanners and sockets etc, including crows foot and "sensor" sockets with cutouts
• Peugeot/Citroen Code Scanner (can access special PGA codes over and above a standard ODB scanner)
• TIG welder
• 20mm masonry bit
• Laser tape
• Laser level
• Orbital sander
• Ratchet wire cutters (good for SWA)
• Portable bandsaw (hell yeah!)
• 110V Site Transformer (only a baby one)
• 8 x 4ft CNC router - "RatRider" V1E LowRider V4

This list is not exhaustive.

Hmm. Maybe I own too many tools.

Things I have too much of

And will give away more than happily (you'd be doing me a favour, this is a bit much atm) I guess this is like a reverse wishlist?

• Plywood, normally 18mm and normally anything short of a full board. Generally painted on one side. Sometimes 22mm. Also some thin ~5mm stuff
• Other timber, sometimes. Feel free to give me a wishlist and I'll see what I can get
• LED Tape (most commonly 24V RGBW but sometimes other fun stuff like pixel/addressable and what haveyou)
• Fabric/clothing - various, I don't actively keep a stock of this, try to keep moving it to charity. But can keep a wishlist.
• Most PC related cabling, video (Displayport, DVI - not HDMI sadly) and power (13A to IEC, extension leads, IEC distribution and IEC-IEC). Lots of USB 3.0 A-B for some reason.
• PSUs. PC, weatherproof, wall wart, you name it, I've likely got it.
• Filing cabinet drawer full of HDDs and RAM, unlikely to have anything good or modern.
• VoIP phones
• Mediocre but very usable HD 16:9 Monitors
• Anything and everything related to 3rd gen thinkpads. A large office's worth of PSUs and docks to hand atm...
• 3D Printers - yes, really! Currently have a lab's worth of Wanaho printers to give away... Will need some serious tinkering to be good machines. Definetely good for parts at the very least though.
• Broken server PDUs. Might be easily repairable, also good for salvaging relays and CT clamps if you need them
• Heavy duty castors. Including tri castors and "air rides" - castors with a pneumatic ram so they can be deployed and undeployed. Various other bits of pneumatic badassery also available...
• Logitech USB Webcams
• Various "computer vision" cameras

If you could use anything on this list, drop me a discord (My nickname is set as "Arona 'AJ' " ATM) or a text 07449192971. Don't be shy, no ask is too much, I'm running out of storage space!! I can deliver to the hackspace or potentially to somewhere else.

Things I can dispose of

Mainly from the hackspace, if it would help, but open to helping other people out too. I'm a registered waste carrier but I also do my best to reuse before recycle!

• All scrap wood/cardboard etc, even glued or painted (our industrial woodstove eats it nicely.)
• Anything metal
• Electronics
