KINGSTON FARM AND GARDEN CO-OP

TOOLS FOR LOAN

TOOL USE FREE TO CO-OP MEMBERS
although a small donation to the Co-op is suggested, so we can cover any expenses
in maintaining and replacing tools, and eventually acquire more tools. (A tractor would be nice...)
At this time, most "loaner" tools are available to Co-op members ONLY. (Live traps are the exception.)

The majority of the tools are owned by Co-op members, not by the Co-op.
When you borrow a tool, be sure you ask how to use it.
After that, out of consideration to those members generous enough to offer the use of their tools,
be aware that you use the tools at your own risk.

TOOLS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE:
FENCING
  • a metal fence post pounder (heavy-duty, with D-ring handles welded on courtesy of Erik Schoenberg)
  • a manual metal fence post extractor (makes the job easy!)
  • a manual post hole digger
Here's Kinley using
the fence post pounder
at the Giving Garden.
Here's what the manual
post hole digger looks like
WOOD CUTTING
  • splitting wedges in various sizes
WINE MAKING
(For use under supervision by the owner) -
  • Manual grape crusher / destemmer
    (No, you don't use your feet. I know, we're no fun at all.)
  • Large manual basket press
  • Wine filter (provide your own filter papers)
  • Wine bottle drying racks
  • Manual wine bottle corker
FIELD MAINTENANCE
  • Pasture drag chain harrow (~ 7.5 x 7.5 feet)
MISCELLANEOUS
This is what the mover's dolly looks like.


Most tools are on loan to Kingston Farm and Garden Co-op members only! (Live traps are the exception.)
Contact Paul at 360-809-3467 or phughes962@centurytel.net to arrange a loan!

Also contact Paul if you have tools which you would be willing to loan to other members,
or donate to the Co-op outright.
