A View On The Inside

Posted on by admin

There’s been quite a few photos from out the front of the shop, so here’s a few on the inside showing a selection of varied smaller items available.


All donated including the racking


Proper old school tools are there to be bought as well


Various sets available including this one for a dremmel and a router above


Preparing for a spring camping trip or even just some food whilst fishing?


Beginning to gather more angling items


Lathe bits, micrometers and other engineering curios


Tam very much at home at the work bench where tools have been cleaned up and lawn mowers fixed for use again.


This was a wonderful sight on the forecourt today – and we had a fuel pump in stock that was suitable!
 
 Thanks for everyone’s encouraging support and feedback so far!

Doors open!

Posted on by admin

A good opening day at Rough Edges & we shall now be open Weds, Thurs and Fridays from 10am – 2pm.
 
 Mike, pictured on the left, will be managing these initial stages. We’re very grateful to him and the others who have been giving of their time and energy thus far. Also pictured are Lloyd and Tam. Dave the sparky is also a regular face looking after our PAT testing of electrical items.
 


It was great to receive a substantial donation of items today from Tools for Self Reliance in Llanelli and Camarthen, which were surplus to their remit but suit ours. We hope to be able to return the compliment as we receive donated items.
 
 So put the word out – we’re open, looking to sell, looking for volunteers and able to receive suitable items at open times.
 Thanks for your interest.
