KwartzLab Junkyard is tomorrow (Saturday the 10th) from 1 PM to 7 PM!  Come out to KwartzLab (283 Duke St W, Unit #106) to see what we Makers have been hoarding

Remember, everything you see here is donate-what-you-can/donate-what-its-worth and all proceeds go to the KwartzLab Big Tool Acquisition Fund!  We use that fund to help us acquire Big Tools like Laser Cutters, 3D printers, and CNC mills.

There’s a lot of great stuff here, and I saved the best for last, so make sure to read all the way to the bottom…

Let’s get started, shall we? (pictures below the fold)

The Junk by The White Wοlf

One Maker’s Trash is another one’s Treasure.

• Where: KwartzLab
• When: September 10th, 2011 – 1 PM to 7 PM
• What: A bunch of stuff that you can have!

Looking for the last piece for a project?  Like scavenging though others’ stuff to find useful tidbits?  Do you go to garage sales in hopes of finding a cool thingy?

Then come out to KwartzLab Junkyard on Sept 10th from 1 to 7PM and see what’s up for grabs at KwartzLab!

You see, makers are also sometimes hoarders.  Many of us have stuff we bought for projects that we never used, or just stuff we don’t want anymore.  So we’re going to put it on the tables and you can come and take it!

There’s only one thing we ask in return: That you donate whatever you think it’s worth to you to our Big Tool Acquisition Fund.  We won’t haggle.  Our BTAF is currently working on getting us a laser cutter, and there will be more after that!

So come on out and see what you can find!
