So, what exactly is a Repair Cafe'? It's a 4- hour community party of talented local folks that will volunteer their handy skills to repair your broken stuff. Just bring your broken things to the Repair Cafe' and watch and learn as the handy folks do their magic. In the past we have had repairers fix the following...
• Repair lamps–replace switches and cords, tighten wobbly bases
• Repair jewelry (no soldering), replace watch batteries, fix watch bands,
• Replace eyeglass screws
• Repair camping and fishing gear
• Repair furniture, cuckoo clocks, dolls, favorite toys (wooden, metal, or plastic)
• Troubleshoot and/or repair small appliances, electronics, radios, fans, heaters, (de)humidifiers
• Sharpen garden tools, replace wooden handles, repair electric trimmers
• Sharpen knives, scissors, axes
• Mend clothing by hand or sewing machine; repair holey knits; adjust sewing machines
• Replace zippers
• We have even offered the following services...
• A squad of electronic repair folks to tackle more sophisticated electrical and computer issues
