Got any old 8mm film reels or photo slides you want to get rid of?
Nigel, who uses old audio tapes for community health projects, has put this request on the audio cassette tape page and I thought it was worth featuring more prominently:
Hi everyone, I am now after any old 8mm film reel or any old and unwanted home movie footage on video or film.
Also any old photo slides as we need them for a film project we are doing but it has to be your images such as old family stuff as we cannot use any copy written stuff.
Doesn’t matter what of and from where as we will use bits if you know what I mean.
Send to me at ACT,West House, Lombard Street West, West Bromwich, West Midlands B70 8EG.
So if you’ve got some stuff hanging around, send it over ;)

Wendy Russell from She’s So Crafty (HGTV) created bases and pots withthis side of film. Removing the film from the reel roll up (in the same flat shape as it was on the reel).
Use double sided tape to stick the end down
Holding the film with you finger tips carefully push the film outward near the centre. The further you are from the exact center the wider will be the diameter of the bottom of your finished bowl or vase.
Shellac the inside and out. This is not a waterproof or food safe final product.
I´ve seen in a spanish web how someone created a lamp with old photo slides or films. I liked the light through the slides holes!

I’ve started a MEDIA RECYCLING PROJECT in Oxfordshire because I’ve got quite a few tapes I’ve recorded over the years and I don’t want to put them into the Landfill or PAY to have them recycled – so if you live in or around Oxfordshire… drop me an e-mail! OR we can collect if you’ve got enough tapes (Within a reasonable distance or course!)
We are collecting all types of “Media” – Video & Audio tapes, Computer disks, Floppy disks, cds, dvds, reel to reel, 8mm, records, etc. to be recycled. We erase the tapes (Degauss), strip them down to separate the different types of plastics, shred them then sell the plastic to companies to make new items!
Any profit we make we will be giving back to the community
