I like to tinker with and fix stuff. If something breaks, I will try to fix it rather than throw it away. I'm also guilty of taking in broken/unwanted items and trying to fix and find new homes for them. On this blog I'll describe various things I've made/fixed/hacked over the years. Hopefully it'll give some of you ideas of things you can make or re-use.

Table Saw
This one didn't work out quite so well. I rescued a table saw from a skip outside someone's house (don't worry, I asked). When I got it home, it turned out to be broken. I stripped it down to the motor, where I discovered that the gear attached to the shaft had sheared right off. No way to replace it, as far as I could tell, so I gave it to someone else (having explained the fault to him). I think he was going to salvage a few parts and scrap the rest.
