   many of us are already into repairing what we have, not only to save money, but because we care about what we own.

   many more people are interested in repairing what they have, but don't really know where to start.

   i really enjoyed this mini-doc on repair in japan. it highlights many different kinds of tinkerers and artisans, from electronics to umbrellas to kintsugi:

   if you're new to repairing things, there are an overwhelming number of places to start, and it will appear impossible on your first go. i've been taking apart things since i was 3 years old, and can safely say: you will break more than you fix, and eventually learn how to fix what you break! but the real joy is in the learning process of understanding how it all works.
