Maker Movement / Mending Things

Roger B
Having finally received my E&T and read the section on repairing consumer items I wondered how many people here  actually mend/make things?

To start thing off I have attached a couple of pictures of recent repairs I have made. Did it make sense to make these repairs? I think so.

    It's great to see that not everything is just thrown away and that people are making a real effort (and a creative effort) to recycle and reuse.  The BBC have a programme on their mid-afternoon schedules called Money for Nothing where items headed for landfill are given a new lease of life - it would be really good to see some electrical items on there too :)


    My own fixes tend to involve gaffer tape as I don't have the skills of an engineer! :)
