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.

    I feel inspired reading some of the stories, as a non-technical person that works with technical people (at the IET) I have gained enough confidence to do some minor make do and mend things.  Since lockdown started I have changed two switch plates (light switches), fixed the oven, ordered spare parts for the kettle and diagnosed a fault with a heater that I had to return (but got replacement for as it was missing bits).


    My inner engineer now looks at things and sees if it can be fixed, or if I can reuse it :)
