[KwartzLab] Does Kwartzlab want a thickness planer?

[Agnes Niewiadomski]

Hi Kevin!

I've never been to the UW Surplus sale...I'm curious, would they have those
old school metal folding chairs? I'm working on a high school production of
Rent and we are looking for a dozen of these (for cheap).

Thanks,

Agnes Niewiadomski
