Freecycle is a wonderful community group. Its offers lots of resources for upcycling and repurposing.
Recently a large ‘mixed box full of stuff from a garage’ was offered and I just had to have it.

The box was from a house clearance, and was full of old electronic components, resistors and wire. These reels of vintage wire are perfect are a lovely colour and will fit perfectly into a future project.
