@SKT said in Repairs & Modifications:

“tedious” and “meditative”

You hit the nail on the head

Probably slightly more meditative since it's easy to space out and not think about anything else while you are doing it.

Edited…

@GraemeE this came out rad, nicely done

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic thanks man

[Danimal506]

@GraemeE Very cool!

[Mizmazzle]

@GraemeE hell yea dude. So cool to bring back a piece from the dead like that and give it new life. Bet you learned couple tricks along the way…or at least hopefully less thumb pokes as time went on.

[GraemeE]

@Mizmazzle definately feels satisfying to save it from near death.

My thumb however is quite sore.....

I think as I learn more I am going to have to invest in a few tools - finger protection is first on the list

[GraemeE]

Got my next project lined up - just need to find an old pair of of wrangler jeans to cannibalize so I can match the broken twill

@GraemeE worked his magic on these two hoodies! Can’t wait to wear these more!

Unfortunate superglue incident
Mischief managed?

[GraemeE]

These are going to take some serious blood, sweat and tears but I promised a friend I could keep them alive for her for at least a few more years

[Brock]

Wow! Yea those need some love! Can’t wait to see that pocket irl. Now to get it back on the jacket

Just starting to see signs of a blowout on a pair of 17oz 666s so I'm testing out this method to see how well it contains it

@GraemeE Your work is inspiring. I’ve been playing with the idea of repairing a few items that are needing attention and this is pushing me in the right direction. Well done!

[GraemeE]

@Denman-John thank you - that's the exact same scenario that kicked me in the butt to learn how to start fixing my stuff

It's practical and relaxing (expect for the finger pokes)
