Maker Movement / Mending Things

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.

  • To be honest Andy I have not seen the ‘repair shop’ as yet, however it would be great with hints of what products to avoid especially with all the different types of equipment available. Everyone thought the USB port sockets were a great design but there were some unsafe ones produced, not only that but the transformers at the rear of the sockets are on all the time with nothing plugged in! What is the longevity of this? More consumer friendly programmes are needed as everyone needs to learn on a daily basis. Repairing things is great, the question I would be asking is why did they break in the first place?
