I can't find the exact blog entry but the link above comes close. |
The county where I live offers (offered, back in the Before Times) Fix-It-Fairs where people could bring their broken things, furniture, appliances, tools, what have you, to a place like the fairgrounds or some other largish site where volunteer Fixers, previously recruited, were ready with their own tools and materials to take a crack at getting them working again. I'd signed up to be one of the volunteer Fixers, then pandemic.
Recently, there has been an effort by the same county office to offer *virtual* fix-it-fairs. I said I'd be willing to try to help in that way too. Just yesterday the list of broken things was sent to us volunteers: As a pilot version of a virtual Fix-it Fair, we partnered with a volunteer-run Tool library to help them fix some of their tools. They are eager to learn how to detect the problem and fix it. They sure have a bunch of basic tools to attempt a repair. Quote:
I've talked people down from the tower, so to speak, but these look ... challenging. I would approach the prospect of guiding a stranger through the process of fixing a wood chipper that smokes when turned on with extreme caution. I shudder at the endlessness of the list of how that could go wrong. I like fixing stuff. I like helping people. I'm good at it. But this seems like an extra degree of difficulty that I'm not prepared to undertake. I wish them luck though! |
I had a wood chipper that made the most horrendous noise when turned on.
It wasn't until I took it to the mechanic that I found out that chippers are just loud. :p: |
Ever wonder how to top a Royal Palm tree?
