Resources

Repair information and demonstrations

As you may know, there are lots of video tutorials on Youtube demonstrating how to repair things but you can also go to www.ifixit.com to find lots of resources. This includes textiles and clothing as well as electronics etc. Another way to access the same resource is here Repair guides - Repaircafe

Another useful source of information is www.manuall.co.uk where you can find manuals to most products.
