Scissors sharpening (beehaw.org)
I’m trying to learn how to sharpen scissors. I’m using a draw-filing technique. I’m not sure where I’m doing right or wrong. Anyone has any input? It’s a little better than it was but it’s definitely not as sharp as it could be. Gonna try attach some pics....

Put together a DIY air quality monitor! (beehaw.org)
With how bad air quality has been this year, I grabbed myself a DIY AirGradient kit so I can monitor air quality in my living space. It was easy to assemble and only required a little bit of soldering knowledge. I’m definitely not proficient enough at soldering as many components ended up crooked on the board. Still works...

Chair repair--looking for advice (lemmy.cafe)
I have an ancient and rather ugly office chair which I love to pieces. Unfortunately, on Thursday morning, the chair attempted to make that literal, as I sat down and heard a nasty splintering sound. Now, I got this thing secondhand, and it’s always had a vertical split up one wooden leg. My brother had run four large carriage...
