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.

  • Its great to see this discussion topic still running.  

    I started clearing out our shed last week and turned up quite a lot of stuff that can be recycled or redeployed elsewhere and had some great ideas for upcycling to make some items for the garden.  A few of items that will present interesting challenges are:
    • Several pieces of microwave test gear 

    • Radar jammer off the Ark Royal

    • Equipment to test compasses on Lancasters 


    My husband is a radio amateur and thinks he picked up the latter two items at a great little shop in Lincoln on Steep Hill that sells all manner of military and civlian radio/radar equipment.
