Did you know that some phones have a thermal imaging camera?

This one has been rescued, refurbished, and will be used to repair more phones!

(PS: footprint is in pink!)

Summer sewing, had me a blast!

Holiday project - coffee grinder deconstruction.

The motor has rusted, so it's heading to e-waste, but was a fascinating tear-down.

TOOLS:
1. Socket set + flathead screwdriver for blade removal

2. Philips screwdriver to remove 3 screws

3. Flathead screwdriver for levering and pushing bits out

While not the easiest to take apart, it was definitely better than an older model I also took apart.

Maybe designers are learning to make products more repairable?

SUMMER CHALLENGE! How many ice-block/cream sticks can you collect & wash?

They are great tools for applying super-glue & grease, and fun for building with!

(PS: this collection is at least 3 summers-worth)
