Fixing things ‘a way of life’ for Repair Café volunteers
Steve Lawrence holds a bottle of glue in one hand the shard of a porcelain dish in the other. He uses a knife to scrape and smooth the chipped edge. He meticulously applies the glue, grabs a shred of tape and attaches the shard to the rest of the dish.
“And it’s fixed,” he exclaimed.
He next reaches for a set of kitchen knives and an electric sharpener.
“Once we get this knife sharper fixed, we can sharpen these knives,” he said as he wondered over to another table and set down the appliance for repair.
