4TH Annual Repair Café! MARCH 15TH, 1-4 PM. Fun, Waste reduction and Functional Tools!
Sponsored by Denman Island Climate Action Network (DICAN) and the Recycling Centre.
If you are into maintaining, sharpening and repairing your tools and equipment, mark your calendars for Sunday, March 15th, 1-4 pm at the Recycling Centre, 5901 Denman Road.
Six expert Denman Islanders provide a wide range of services, ranging from sharpening, diagnosing, demonstrating, teaching and repairs. Most of these experts return year after year to enthusiastically participate.
Over the years, Graham Hayman, Peter Marshall and Michael Rapati have demonstrated chainsaw and garden tool sharpening resulting in like-new action. Michael Rapati and Mits Narusawa help you to figure out why that electrical device has stopped working, teaching basic repairs and new life for small appliances and musical instruments. David Scruton removes broken handles from tools (not easy) and provides some handles for tool heads and wheelbarrows. Many wheelbarrows become useful again after learning from and repairing with David. Peter Marshall brings many, many tools in order to make your neglected tools work again, such as frozen pole pruners and bicycles. And Remi Skolney fixes anything from a diesel heater to a computer and things mechanical and electronic.
This year, we are pleased to welcome Ron Smith, from Red Deer, Alberta, a certified auto mechanic with over 50 years of experience. How did we manage this? Confession: he is Lisa Pierce’s uncle, who is quite keen to participate during his visit.
In advance of the Repair Café buy any parts you know you need (from our friendly, local hardware store), gather up those broken or dull tools and join us for a swell time.
