SUMMARY:Mahone Bay Repair Café
DESCRIPTION:It’s been less than a month since our last Repair Café event in Riverport and our next event is already coming up! Join us at the Mahone Bay center\, on Saturday May 2nd\, from 1pm until 4pm. Here’s what you can expect this time: \n⛺ Camping gear: This is our new repair table! Camping gear is expensive and it can take a beating when you’re in the backwoods. Bring your damaged packs\, torn tents\, sleeping bags that won’t zipper shut\, etc. and we’ll try to help you get one more season from them. Note that because this Repair Café is an indoor event we cannot work on camp stoves or other fuel-burning devices. \n\n\n\n\n🚲 Bikes: it’s also the season for biking! Three fixers will be there to try to help fix or adjust your bikes. As you may expect\, we don’t have spare parts for everything that can be replaced but we have a few (eg. a couple of tires\, some brake pads). \n🪡 Sewing: Clothing mending\, knitting and various small sewing repairs will be provided. Sewing machines and an ironing board will be made available for the fixers at the event. \n🔌 Small appliances: our team of fixers will attempt to repair your electrical household items\, like small appliances\, or table lamps\, etc. Bigger products won’t be repaired\, as it would be logistically challenging given the limited scope of the event. Also\, recent electrical household items with electronics (screens\, etc.) are typically more difficult to repair than older electrical items\, but feel free to bring any small electrical items along – we can at least take a quick look! \n💍 Jewelry: a jewelry repair table will also be set up at the event! Broken links or clasps will be repaired\, re-stringing of beads\, or gluing of separated cabochons (or similar) will be performed. Not-broken but “poor fit” improvements may also be possible (e.g. chain extensions can allow too-small jewellery to be lengthened; extra large jump hoops can be added to improve ease of attaching clasp). \n💻 Computers: if your computer runs Windows 10\, you’ve probably stopped receiving security updates. More than one billion computers are in this situation. One way to solve this problem is to use an alternative system (Linux) as explained by this campaign. We’ll be providing this service at the repair café\, we’ll bring with us a laptop that runs Linux so that you can give it a try yourself\, and external hard drives to make backups if you wish to do this migration. If your laptop has a hardware problem\, we’ll also be looking at it. \n🪑 Furniture: feel free to bring a small furniture item (like a broken chair or stool for example)\, or a broken wooden toy or other small item\, we’ll see what we can do to fix it. \n🔪 Knife and tool sharpening: Given the massive success of this station in Riverport (about 100 tools and knives sharpened on that day!)\, this popular station will be back in Mahone Bay! We will sharpen any straight or curved steel knife or tool (garden tools\, woodworking tools although we won’t have the equipment to sharpen planer or jointer blades) but not ceramic ones. We might try to sharpen micro-serrated edges\, if needed. We can do most scissors and shears as well. \n♻️ Angela from Region 6 Solid Waste management will join us too. She will provide information and insights on reduction\, recycling\, reuse and compost! \nSee you there 🙂

SUMMARY:Riverport Repair Café
DESCRIPTION:Our next Repair Café event is coming up! This time\, it will be held at the Riverport community center\, on Saturday March 7th\, from 9am until 12pm. \n  \nHere’s what you can expect (the paragraphs below will be updated as we get more info from our team of volunteers):  \n🪡 Sewing workshop: the main focus of the event\, as there will be many fixers at this station. Clothing mending and various small sewing repairs will be made possible. Also\, our fixers will also be providing advice on thread skills (including embroidery) and quilting. Reference books will be made available for consultation. Finally\, feel free to bring your sewing machine if it is broken: one of our fixers will be able to have a look at it. \n\n\n\n\n💻 Computers: if your computer runs Windows 10\, you’ve probably stopped receiving security updates. More than one billion computers are in this situation. One way to solve this problem is to use an alternative system (Linux) as explained by this campaign. We’ll be providing this service at the repair café\, we’ll bring with us a laptop that runs Linux so that you can give it a try yourself\, and external hard drives to make backups if you wish to do this migration. If your laptop as a hardware problem\, we’ll also be looking at it. \n🔌 Small appliances: we will try to repair your electrical household items\, like small appliances\, or table lamps\, etc. We won’t be able to repair bigger products\, as this is not possible logistically. Also\, recent electrical household items with electronics (screens\, etc.) are typically more difficult to repair than older electrical items\, but feel free to bring any small electrical items along – we can at least take a quick look. \n🎸 Music instruments: we’ll provide basic setup of electric guitars or bass guitars\, which involves action regulation (adjust height of strings to improve playability\, adjust neck relief for straightness)\, intonation (bridge adjustment\, to play more in tune) and pickup height adjustment (improve playability). In addition to guitars\, one of our volunteers knows about violins: feel free to bring yours if it needs some attention. \n💍 Jewelry: a jewelry repair table will also be set up at the event! Broken links or clasps will be repaired\, re-stringing of beads\, or gluing of separated cabochons (or similar) will be performed. Not-broken but “poor fit” improvements may also be possible (e.g. chain extensions can allow too-small jewellery to be lengthened; extra large jump hoops can be added to improve ease of attaching clasp). \n🪑 Furniture: feel free to bring a small furniture item (like a broken chair or stool for example)\, or a broken wooden toy or other small item\, we’ll see what we can do to fix it. \n🔪 Knife and tool sharpening: we will sharpen any straight or curved steel knife or tool (garden tools\, woodworking tools although we won’t have the equipment to sharpen planer or jointer blades) but not ceramic ones.
