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.

    Moving on... My washing machine's pump failed, after 0ver 9 years use. Guess what? Spares are no longer available as the machine is over 5 years old. Anyway, I'd be dubious about repairing it even if a new pump were available, as the motor can't be far behind. I wish they published MTBF times for these components as mine are probably way paste that by now.
