Recently the Soldersmoke blog posted a link to this great video by The Spirited Man about fixing and repairing things. I only wish I was half as good as this bloke at fixing things.
I am currently doing battle with a salt pool chlorinator that's stopped chlorinating. A call to the manufacturer for a few tips was turned into a sales pitch to buy a new one at $1380. It's so easy to flash the plastic and buy another, but I refuse to do so - yet. I am running out of ideas, but not yet ready to surrender to the evil lords of consumption.
On the plus side this morning I fixed a chair whose canvass seat had rotted away. A piece of MDF board screwed on to the frame, some foam rubber and liquid nails has restored (maybe that's overstating it slightly - let's try 'returned') this chair into service in my shed. A small victory over the evil lords!
Until next time, peace and love.
