any casual woodworkers in need of tools ?  
i have: too many of the same kind of tool and too little shop space.

you have: some esoteric unmet need for small-ish power tools and a yummy coookie recipe.

i've inherited a handful of duplicate tools at my workshop and i'd like to use the space they occupy for other stuff.  there's a couple of small but sturdy old crafstman routers (1/4" collet) with decent bearings and a delta 22-540 portable 12" planer. i'd like to get $75 for the planer, but i don't have any illusions about living large on the income from the routers (ie - willing to trade for some good cookies, a bodacious story, etc).  the routers are easy enough to tote (we're in magoun square) but you'd have to be a dedicated masochist to try to carry the planer very far on foot.

ding me if you think we might be each others' missing piece.

EDIT: the planer has left the building, two routers remain.

Yard sale during ArtBeat next Saturday, 19 Burnham St. (help us choose the best time)  
In the spirit of this year's green-themed ArtBeat, we have decided to take advantage of the Davis hordes and have ourselves a long-overdue yard sale. We are total packrats and have items that run the whole gamut:

The Unusual:

antique furniture (in various stages of refinishing)
weird religious iconography
vintage kitchenware (stand mixers, reamer, green-handled implements from long ago, etc.)
other cool and weird collectibles from people who spend too much time at others' yard sales

The Usual:

books (novels, self-help, a few children's books)
games
kitchen stuff (quite a bit of this, including an old-but-functional Cuisinart 11-cup food processor)
bedding stuff
tchotchkes
clothes and accessories (vintage and contemporary)
some kids toys, including a large train table with storage bins (I'm a teacher, not a mom, so this won't be overrun with kids' stuff)

We will also feature a few Big-Ticket Items. While most things will be "yard sale priced," there will be a few items that we will have firm price attached to them (as we will simply post them on eBay if they don't sell here):

Pottery Barn Schoolhouse chairs
Antique shoe-drying rack from a Lowell factory (we used it to hold shoes, and later to hold towels)
iPods (one old mini, one new nano)
iPod fancy ear buds and docking station

..etc., etc., etc. It really goes on for days. We're at 19 Burnham St. It's a tiny little street in between Powderhouse Blvd and Broadway near the rotary. It's about a 6-7 minute walk from Davis (Holland to Irving to Burnham). The closest landmarks are the Tufts tennis courts and playing fields on the Powderhouse side and the hair salon at the corner of Broadway and Irving.

What we could use right now is some advice on times. We want to overlap with ArtBeat, but also maybe start beforehand, in case people want to come to us first. Does anyone know the scheduled times for the ArtBeat events?

Thanks!

Unlocked GSM phone  
My cellphone died today, and I'd rather not extend my contract to get a new phone. I'm wondering if anyone here has an unlocked GSM (ATT/Cingular and T-Mobile) phone they'd be willing to sell me. I'm not looking for anything  fancy, just maybe your old cellphone.

Need help finding a bed!  
I'm really tired of the uncomfortable futon I'm on right now! I have a really nice queen-size bed frame, but I need a mattress and box spring for it!

Does anyone know where I can pick up a CHEAP queen-sized mattress and box spring around Davis/Porter/Harvard/Central? I went by Sleepy's yesterday, and even their cheapest set was over $500. I just need something to get me by for a few months till I can get out and drop the cash on a nicer mattress.

I also want to avoid the used mattress route if possible, as I really don't like the thought of getting buggies from strangers!

Thanks!

any good recipes for under-ripe mattress ?  
I had to buy a Real Mattress following back surgery.  it got about 3 months of nice, respectful use before it wasn't needed any longer (prefer the futon) and was relegated to the attic.  now i want space in the attic more than i want a nearly-new mattress.  goodwill, salvation army, and the boys-girls club all told me on the phone that they don't take them.  the idea of throwing it out is breaking my  hippy-dippy, recycle-reuse heart.

anyone got any other ideas ?  anyone want it ??  it's an "olympic queen" - 66" × 80".   no box-spring, no frame.  located in magoun sq.

thanks!

Quest For Cool  
I need to procure an air conditioner for the living room before my mom comes to visit in August (I'm giving her my air conditioned room). Before I go hunting on Craigslist, I thought I'd ask my neighbors if anyone has a functioning window AC they want to unload. I can give you $50 for it if you can deliver it. (I don't drive.)
