#askfedi anyone has contacts that my friends can reach out in Canada, US, Panama, Colombia, Argentina and Chile on repair cafes? I want to volunteer my time to help coordinate with this initiative
Tiralo? Nin pensalo! O sábado 10 de maio organizamos un #RepairCafé de 10:30 a 13:30 na Cooperativa Árbore (Rúa López Mora, Nº 30, Vigo).

Evento gratuito. Agradécese inscrición para facilitar a organización: https://usem.liberaforms.org/repair-cafe-maio
Today, at Boothstown Repair Cafe I repaired:
One of the Village hall tables - The leg braces had been broken off the rivets again. Straightened the braces and replaced the solid rivets using my 8 ton press.
A pair of shoes - The soles had peeled off at the toe. I glued with contact adhesive and used spots of CA glue around the edge to hold it for 24 hours.
A reconstituted marble resin ornament of a stag - Three of the legs had snapped off. I glued back on with CA glue, reinforcing the hollow parts with epoxy putty. I needed the Dremel, but the battery was flat, so I did fine work with a diamond burr in the DeWalt hammer drill! 
A watch - I removed the back so the battery could be changed.
LED strip lights - a fuseable resistor had blown. Tested and found all the LEDs still worked. Another repairer finished off the repair.
It was quiet today, due to the Bank Holiday weekend I think.
This lawn mower that Richard has been working on needs a new belt.
The owner has been pointed to suitable belts on eBay and is going to purchase one and bring it all along next month to be fixed.
Sarah is doing a great job of fixing a wide variety of items today. She's one of our jill of all trades repairers!
We're thrilled to have Peter with us today, and there's already a queue of teddy bears for him to repair.
Salut Mastodon! Mes parents sont d’accord pour essayer Linux plutôt que changer leur ordinateur Windows qui ne pourra plus être mis à jour. Je vais les aider mais je suis loin. J’aimerais leur trouver des personnes sur Annecy pour les dépanner en cas de problème. Vous connaissez des repair cafés ou ateliers Linux à Annecy? Merci pour les réponses et les repouets

@EarthOrgUK #today is #RepairCafe with probably a couple of beers after.
I'm not sure whether I slept well, but I woke early in the sunshine...

We are heading out to Boothstown #RepairCafe this morning.
Afterwards I will pop over to visit @timpootle to pick up a grease gun.
Thank you, Tim.
We are having dinner with Mum this evening.

We're ready for you at Barry library! We start at 10am so come along with your broken items and we'll do our best to fix them.
Not sure if we can fix it, remember the golden rule: "If you can get it through the doors and it's not a microwave, we'll give it a go!"

@tinker What is a #RepairCafe?
@pineheap - Here is a list of some Repair Cafes across the world. But yeah, trying to spin one up.
It's not difficult to spin one up, I just dont have time right now.
Maybe in a couple of months.
I want a Repair Cafe in my town!!!
I don't have bandwidth to organize one right now... but I could totally volunteer at one - help fix computers and bicycles!
I've reached out to my local hacker meetup to see if anyone is willing to organize it. I'll facilitate.
We'll see.
