DO NOT DESPAIR! REPAIR!

Look around your house. Do you have a sweater with a sleeve unraveling, a bicycle with a bent frame, a dull knife, a necklace whose stones have come unstrung? A prize shrub with mysterious spots? Don’t despair, repair!

Come to the third Sheffield repair workshop, Sat., June 8, from 10am to 1pm at the Bushnell-Sage Library. At least 12 fixers with a variety of skills will be waiting to assist you.

If you know the specific replacement part your item needs, buy it and bring it, but make sure you can return the part as not everything can be fixed at the workshop.

The crew of fixers includes
Sandra Alden and Brittany Ebeling
(textile mending but no zippers replaced);
Paul O’Brien, Neal Chamberlain, Jim Miller and Rick Sweeney
(tinkering with small electrical items that need wiring, switches,
sockets);
Ben Webb (bicycle repair, E-bikes diagnostics, tires);
Jim Kelly (sharpening knives, axes, clippers);
Tom Ingersoll (horticulture advice--bring photos);
Lynne Posner (jewelry repairs including new wires, restringing);
and Thad Kubis (digital photography workshop offered each hour, with time to practice).

Others may join us. If you want to volunteer as a fixer or helper, or for more information, call Jenny Russell 229-2549.
