I thought that would take all weekend. My garage is not that big, it was just very untidy. It also has lots of things in the "might be very useful one day" category.
I found about one dozen sky hooks, and about six very large spiders, they have legs about two feet long, and were in a terrible tangle.
Lots of brackets, and some hinges, (bought lots of the wrong size) and misc bits of wood. I could probably practice my carpentry skills, and build a cupboard along the lines that Picasso wood design.
Hilldodger, I did not find your penny farthing. However, bearing in mind inflation since 1885, it might be that the two pound coin and the five pence are more what you are looking for?
