Q3: @MakersHour

What other ways do you use to keep in touch with the Maker or creative community?

A3: I think mostly here, but also I am in a WhatsApp (yeah, I know) group for Repair Cafe folks in Greater Manchester we share chat, and knowledge that helps with the #RepairCafe stuff that comes up.

I am also still with the #WorkingInWood community woodwork group that I helped set up way back in 2017, and we meet up on Thursday mornings at the Community Workshop.
Then there is the Miniatures group that meets up in the evening on the second Monday of the month.

@Maker_of_Things Wow, you were busy! I had a shirt with a partly detached cuff, a slight resizing of a dress, and two ribbon ties to resew onto a dressing gown.
I also resorted the sewing table's stash of cottons, buttons, needles and random fabric offcuts into a shiny new drawer stack so now we can actually Find Stuff Quickly and without stabbing our fingers on a lurking pin!

Great #RepairCafe in #Swansea this morning. On our sewing table we repaired two coats, a dressing gown, a dress, a shirt and a plush toy dachshund!
I was surprised at how busy the room was - really encouraging to see people engaging with the café idea 🤗

At Repair Cafe today I worked on:

A carpet head for a stick vacuum cleaner - it was twisted and jammed. Lube and unjam, easy one to start.

An Evolution 9" angle grinder - A gearbox bearing had exploded, causing the motor brushes to destroy themselves, and then burning out the motor control pack. Scrapped.

A Kenwood Chef - the PCB burnt out. The client found one online and get the replacement for next time.

A fence paint sprayer - the spray plungers her stuck with a bit of paint and some rust. Cleaned and freed up so all working.

Secateurs - Needed a quick adjustment, sharpen, and lube.

Hedge and lawn edging shears - both needed a clean, adjustment, and a sharpen.

A JCB SDS drill - no rotary drive. Everything looks ok, but difficult to see the motion inside the gearbox due to all the grease and it needing to be assembled to test. Out of time, so back to it next month.

Today I woke up groggy,
After a bad night of weird dreams.
I did laundry,
And then went to meet Sue at work.
It must have been National Trash Your Church day yesterday,
The place was a tip!
Went trade shopping at B&Q,
Then went into work.
Did some repairs to damaged wall panels,
That was a lot of filling and sanding.
Put Scout's battery on charge,
We've mostly been driving in Bugsy.
Been chilling out with a book,
It's kinda nice not being online all the time (Sorry, it's not personal.).
We're at Levenshulme #RepairCafe in the morning,
Best get some sleep then.
Amser gwely,
#NosDa.

A 1:12 scale diorama of Harriet's bedsit. It is a grey room with blue woodwork and steel electrical conduits on the walls. It was an office over her workshop. On the left is the back wall with a square window and a blue glazed fire escape door. On the right there is a blue fire door to the stairs, and the front windows seen edge on. Under the front windows is a large chunky pine super king sized bed with a blue patterned duvet. There is a yellow dog bed at the foot of the bed, on the floor. To the left is a round glass topped table and two white Panton chairs. Harriet, a Caucasian woman with dark hair, glasses, and wearing a white tee shirt, is lying in bed reading a book. Daisy, a Caucasian woman with fair hair, and wearing a green tee shirt and black trousers is sitting at the table working on a laptop. Monty Dog, Harriet's grey and black dog, is behind Daisy's chair with a chewy bone in his mouth.
