Workbench notes

Small repairs around the house and what each one took.

A wobbly chair

September 19, 2026

Wood glue and a clamp overnight. Firm again, as long as nobody leans back.

Lamp cord

September 13, 2026

Replaced the frayed cord with a new one and a proper strain relief. It was safer than it looked, but not by much.

Bike chain

August 26, 2026

Cleaned and oiled after a winter outside. It still skips in the smallest gear, so a new one is on the list.

July 31, 2026

Old radio

The volume knob crackled. Contact cleaner fixed it in a minute, after an hour of opening the case.

July 14, 2026

Door that sticks

Planed a few millimeters off the bottom edge. Painted it again so the bare wood does not swell.
