Hi, I'm Guy - it's my fault all this. That's not me on the left by the way and I don't know those people above either. We just needed some images. ;-)
I’ve been fixing (breaking) stuff since I was a kid. Can’t help it. I’m just not satisfied if I don’t know how something works, what’s inside or how to get into it. This has helped me fix a lot of stuff.
Recently I’ve moved to Dumfries and I wanted to join a group where I could put those skills to use. I couldn’t find one. I asked around and found that some people at the Stove Project and MSQ had been thinking about a repair café/repair shop for a while, but hadn’t had the time to put anything in place.
Err, ok – I’ll do it. So here I am, asking you to help get this thing setup.
Let’s see what happens…
