Today was our second #RepairCafe in #RugbyTown in May. Things have, as expected, quietened down a little since we started opening twice a month. Enough items to keep us busy to the end of the session, but not so busy that we have to turn people away. I think that two people did leave without getting their items repaired, but I think that was because they turned up too near to the end of the session. New #repairers joined today too.

I shall confess that I have recently built an adjustable bench top power supply with an old laptop charger and some bits off eBay and I took it with me today to do some real world testing. It passed with flying colours so I'm quite proud of that. (AKA no one died and nothing exploded.)

I'll upload our stats once #RepairMonitor has made them available.

Results from Saturday's #RepairCafe in #RugbyTown. We use #RepairMonitor to log all of our work so that it's captured by Repair Cafe International. This gives us a few stats and thanks to the fact that we have a session on the first Saturday of the month and that we have two sessions per month, we are currently at the top of the Items Through the Door chart. The percentage fixed measure isn't one that we get competitive about. As long as the end of life number is low, then we're happy.

Another 1st Saturday and another #repaircafe in #RugbyTown. This one was quieter than usual. Or maybe we should say less chaotic.

Today's mix included a stereo that was in for its third session and was finally condemned. The processor seems to be fried. One of the few bits we can't replace.

We gave a shovel a new handle. That required planing the handle and adding a bolt. We don't often need woodworking tools, but thankfully we have a Library of Things and that contained a plane.

The most satisfying item for me was a folding pram frame that wouldn't lock in place anymore. Looks like the manufacturing process damaged the riveted hinge pins. We drilled them out and replaced them with bolts and it's as good as new. The perfect example of a design that discourages repair of minor failures by fixing everything together with rivets. #fixer #repair @repaircafe
