Description

I’m excited to tell you it’s the first full Dumfries Repair Shop event on Thursday – yes, that’s Thursday this week!

The event will run between 19:00 and 21:00 (at the Stove Cafe) and if you turn up between 18:30 and 19:00 the lovely people at the Stove will have food available for you.

We have planned so far

  • An intro to the Repair Shop roadmap.
  • Our ‘Foundations’ talk this month will be about fuses, plugs and basic testing (I know, racy).
  • I’ll be giving a demo on inspecting and opening an object for repair.
  • We have a sewing machine and basic tools available.
  • We’ll have a number of items to inspect/repair.
  • If we have enough repairers, we can set up a number of items being fixed and people interested can watch/gain experience.
  • There will be plenty of time allocated to look at and hopefully fix stuff.

If you have an item you’d like to have fixed – please bring it along (or let me know if you can’t attend, I could pick it up). You could have a go at fixing it yourself or work with somebody else to go through the process.
