Tools for ship fitting out

During the crossing to Berlin, our man on board and the crew of the tugboat advised me on what tools I would need for the rest of the refit. Some items I’ll only need for the refit itself, whilst others I’ll need two of during the refit phase so that several helpers can work at the same time.

It would be a great help if I could borrow some of these items from September to April, or even get them as a gift. Perhaps you know people who are currently downsizing or clearing out their homes – for example, older people – and who would be delighted if their belongings were put to good use.

If you can / would like to help out here, please let me know soon – on Monday I want to pop into Bauhaus to pick up the things I need most urgently for the near future.

Update 27 August: I’ve already received quite a lot. The items still missing are marked in bold.
