Alfred Chow - Maker of Things on Nostr: Things I repaired at the Repair Cafe raining and awareness gig at Manchester Museum ...
Things I repaired at the Repair Cafe raining and awareness gig at Manchester Museum yesterday.
The pink headphones: They were donated as an example for me to repair. The three wires had been pulled apart so I soldered, hotglued, and heat shrunk a sleeve over the repair. A young woman fell in love woth them and so they were given to her.
A wobbly table: The feet are adjustable, and yet someone wedged it with cardboard. I removed the cardboard and adjusted the foot.
A loose toilet seat: No photo as it was in a toilet. The seat was so loose that it would have been potentially dangerous for someone unsteady. I used an adjustable spanner and tightened up the seat fixings. It was a good seat and fixing system but could have done with nyloc nuts as the plane nuts will just come loose again over time.
I also repaired a mini car tyre compressor, and converted an old head torch from the redundant 4.5V battery to 3x AA batteries with a battery case.
