Description:

Hiyah!

 

I have a collection of gear in various stages of disrepair and a passion for repairing things (however minimal skill). I also suspect that there is a collection of VOC gear that could use some love. If you’re interested, please join me in the clubroom to stitch, tape, glue, sew, paint, and patch away.

 

I happen to own: a functional but not very technical sewing machine, an iso-butane canister consolidating valve, weird fabrics, webbing, patches, threads, needles, maybe some nail polish, lighters, multitools, and an irrational confidence in my totally untrained abilities. I feel like some reasonable craft ideas could be: patching softgoods, consolidating gas canisters, painting your climbing Hardwear for identification, or anything else you can come up with.

 

Totally free to share my stuff but also bring along any other repair tools/machines (sewing machines, irons, grommet punches, paint, etc.) or relevant things you can think of to help you fulfill your inner craftsman spirit!

 

Please swing by and say hello!

 

Personally I need to fix: rips in the side of my backpack, a snapped tent pole, the zipper on the brain of a backpack, refill some gas canisters, a hole riddled puffer, a hole in the fly of my tent and a lack of ground tarp.
