Freecycle: Workbenches

Slight change as having spoken to the caretaker about these. I've now been told that the school want to try and sell them. Suggested donation about £15 per bench. If people are still up for this, let me know...

More than happy to pay £15

I remember we got new workbenches at school and there were signs up saying anybody caught graffitiing them would be severely punished.

First day I got caught just after finished a cracker that said 'ANDY JOHNSON SUCKS COCK'. I carved it in with a compass and had just finished inking the carved letters when I got caught. I had to read it out loud to the class. Andy was sitting right next to me. Because of the ink and the depth of the carve they never got it out.

You are the sole reason they will start introducing rubber scissors and compasses in Schools so original comments like this don't magically appear in obvious places

You sound like the teacher that caught me.
That was over ten years ago and to my knowledge they still have metal compasses and scissors.
Needless to say, I had the last laugh.

Hi all,

A few details, will try to measure one, but not a DT teacher, so not really wanting to put the effort in (sorry). They happened to be outside and I thought are they being dumped, so spoke to the DT department who said yes. The new idea re. a donation of £15 each is our business managers and I can assure you that the money will go to the school. I can't vouch for their quality, although they look pretty solid to me. As for the vice, on one table two work, the others are not functioning. Can't say if they can be flat packed, most probably, but they're likely to be old - carbon dating of under table chewing gum required. Lastly, the school site tends to close at 5.30 so pick up would be required before then.
