Was talking to Andreas just now at lunchtime, and what he said reminded me of what Ffirebell said, and what I've been thinking also, regarding the making and repairing of things: there never seems to be enough time, resources, enthusiasm, or both.
Therefore is has come to me as did the voice of the Universe booming from the mountaintops that perhaps a combined day/evening of making and doing might be suitable. For example, I have some tools and a workshoppy sort of area plus access to a device testing area. Tools include hacksaws, electric drill, some files, sundry associated bits and pieces. Other people might have ideas, techniques, enthusiasm. Also have big curved sewing needles and a bit of kevlar thread and a few bits of tent poles, a fair amount of bendy steel wire (and some stainless bike spokes) plus some wick, but I would not envisage it being a "give away all my shit" sort of day, more like "bring your toys and materials and stuff, use the space and equipment, and maybe do some resource sharing as well, while listening to music" sort of thing. Could probably go as far as buying a pack of the button-screws that can be used to fix things to staffs, and some dowel, and exhaust-plug-putty, etc. So, what's the feeling on doing something like that in a couple of weeks or so? I would expect a weekend to be best as I imagine it could take half a day to get a decent outcome all round.
