Back at the @LabB #RepairCafe today. Fixed a zipper on a boot by adding a stop a little below the top of the damaged zipper. Assisted with teardown of some electric devices (cheap electric kettles are horrible). Glued and taped together a laptop that had been dropped by a child. Fixed a power cord on an electric heater. Fixed another heater by blasting dust out of it. Fixed a string trimmer that had wrapped up a piece of loose wire. And first time I have fixed a sewing machine with a hammer.

Toot

@clew @LabB The owner of the machine had a replacement part for a stripped gear that was fixed on the end of a metal shaft, and it would not come off. I ended up pounding the shaft out of the gear. We tried pulling on it and prying on it, and it just needed more force.
