Hi,

Is there good literature on how to repair stuff? Just general things, not specific appliances. How to repair wood, how to properly sand wood and metal, how to replace a tile, how to read and analyze circuits, identify faulty parts and correct replacements, etc. I just want to become better at repairing stuff.

There are a wealth of bicycle repair manuals. The ones from the 1960s that I have are remarkably well illustrated.

Home Depot used to sell "Home Owner's Bible" manuals with general knowledge for testing and repairing things around the house.

For bicycle repair, sheldonbrown.com is my go-to, along with YouTube.

Celebrating/talking about repairing stuff, the right to repair stuff, and the intersection of tech and solarpunk ideals.

What does it mean to use what we have, including technology, to try to build a better, more environmentally just world?
