Fairfax County Repair Café<p>Boo! It's Repair Cafe! 👻 We're bringing repairs to Thomas Jefferson Library on Saturday, October 11th.

@thejessiekirk @tillybridges Pretty shure #3M sells similar products with #RD40 / DIN EN148-1 screw mount.

  • I'm just not familiar with their product line, unlike #Ekastu which I can vouch for from experience.

#Dräger should also be available globally but they are an asshole company actively working against #RightToRepair and #DMCA'd #RepairManuals for #MedicalDevices like Ventilators, so I'm not gonna buy nor recommend them at all!

  • As for #shipping and #customs, that's something out of control for said companies. I could try to "parcel-proxy" for you if you don't trust #BorderLinx but #Trump's #Trariffs basically result in shipments being halted.

#Boston: #ArtisansAsylum in #Allston hosts a free, public #Fixit Clinic on Thursday Aug 28 starting at 630pm.I hope to attend - Is anyone else interested to join?

eventbrite.com/e/artisans-asyl
"We're excited to partner with Peter Mui and the existing #FixitClinic network and the City of Boston's Environment Department to bring you Artisans Asylum's inaugural Fixit Clinic!

Fixit Clinics are do-it-together community-based exploration workshops staffed by volunteer Fixit Coaches who generously share their time, tools and expertise to consult with you on the disassembly, troubleshooting, and repair of items.

Bring your broken belongings -- electronic gadgets, vital appliances, cherished toys, bicycles, fabric items, jewelry etc.-- for assessment, disassembly, and hopefully repair! Fixit Coaches will be available for consultation: we will provide workspace, specialty tools, and guidance to help you disassemble and troubleshoot your item. Whether you fix your item or not, you'll learn more about how it was manufactured and how it worked, ready to share your new-found confidence and insight with your friends, neighbors, and the community at large."

EventbriteArtisans Asylum's Inaugural Fixit ClinicBring your broken treasures -- appliances, toys, bicycles, gadgets, clothing, etc. -- for assessment, disassembly and possible repair.

The local library is doing the Repair Cafe!!! This is an initial event. Im hoping we can do something like this monthly once we get it going!!!

Repair Cafes are community events where people bring things to get fixed and maintained for free. Volunteers come to hang out, talk shop, and work on folks' items.

This is a mutual-aid event - So folks might be good at fixing bicycles but arent as good at mending jeans. So they might bring their jeans to get patched and then help tune a bicycle!

While my library has asked if I can help with desktop support (which I'm more than willing to do), I actually really like working on bicycles! So I let them know I could do that, too.

I'm at my bandwidth with creating and organizing things with the Free Fridges and Food Rescue, but I absolutely can join an volunteer on the days of if all I have to do is show up, hang out, and tinker on some repairs!

THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!
