Got the bright idea to use my tap & die set to add new threads to the rear rod where it broke. Sadly, it’s a non-standard thread (8-36, not 8-32), so I’ve got to wait till an 8-36 tap & die set gets here tomorrow. Let’s hope it works. 🤓👨🔧

Close-up image of the internal components of an electronic device, showing a circuit board with visible wiring, damaged insulation, and solder points. The area includes exposed wires, a connector with gold pins, and a copper casing.
The image shows the back of a Fenix 6S Pro smartwatch with a gold and black finish. It features a white strap and includes details like "Gorilla Glass," "100 Meters," and "316 SS." Small screws are scattered
Sometimes the #prettythings hide the horrors inside. This #garmin fenix6s pro has a battery replacement at some time in the past by a careless tech. Time for some tlc, a new battery, and back to full service. #koolWatchRepairs #repair #aberdeenshire #RepairReuseRecycle #RepairDontReplace #battery

I love getting surprises! This is a lovely patch from @meganpiont.bsky.social as part of a swap on Instagram. Dyed with indigo and inspired by Robin Wall Kimmerer's "The Serviceberry"about the gift economy. My day is brighter!

The battery was going out on my headphones. I've had these things for years and seriously thought about buying new ones. Instead I ordered a new battery and decided to replace it myself.

White stitches on navy blue cloth in the sashiko pattern "hanazashi" or flower stitch
I keep telling myself that with time and practice my stitches will get more even.
Not there yet.
This is a great mending stitch good density on the back side for strength.

Two fabric patches (fabric is red, gold, and black) that have been stitched in gold with the rice stitch on mustard coloured work pants to cover two small holes.
A blue hoodie that has an in-progress Speedweve loom attached with a pink warp and green weft to cover a tear in the fabric.
Finished repairing my friend’s work pants, and am now working on a Speedweve mend on his hoodie. He said he wanted visible, so bright pink and green it is! 🩷💚

A pair of mustard coloured Dickie’s work pants with a large vertical patch of fabric sewn onto the front of the thigh. The fabric is different shades of red with gold, and off-white squared with black rabbits in them. Fabric is sewn down with a series of straight stitches in pale gold running across the fabric.
Mended a friend’s pair of Dickie’s - a long vertical rip from mid-pocket down. I backed this with denim for a sturdy mend, and now these pants can get on with their second life.

I first heard about Speedweve looms years ago, when they were unavailable in the US, so I hunted one down from Ukraine. Still the best mending tool I've used, and they're being made again and easily available.
