Tools that need identifying as to owner or status.

  • Clarke CR2 1/2" Router in plastic case under the second workshop bench. Is it a donation to the 'space, or is it a personal item? left behind by mistake (although it look unused)? If it is a donation to the 'space, we can consider buying some tools for the larger collet size, and possibly a larger router table for use with this.
  • Wrought-iron tool kit. Various items, apparently an almost complete kit, but no documentation. This is known to be a donated-to-Hackspace tool, but is unusable without some knowledge about how to use it.
