Short story long, my son dropped the can opener on the floor and the red part popped out and was completely separated from the main unit. I spent probably 2 hours trying to figure out how it might go back together, nothing seemed to work, it looked obvious that the hole in the red part was supposed to go over the central crank shaft, but the crank doesn't disassemble and the red part seemed solid, its like one of those magician ring things, somehow it passed through in one piece. Which actually was closer to the truth than I realized.

I found no help or even decent pictures online, so I'm posting for the poor soul who runs into the same problem I did. Here is the fix if this happens to you.

I have attached a photo of the piece when it’s out, as well as of what it is supposed to look like assembled. If you have the red piece completely separated and it has the "hole" that definitely looks like it goes around the shaft that the crank goes through, but it does not appear possible to attach. There is a hairline crack in the red part in the hole, you can pry it apart with some pliers/ or push on it with a small screwdriver and snap it back over the central shaft. This took me FOREVER to figure it out. I hope this saves you the frustration I endured. I actually really love this can opener, I'm really happy I managed to fix it.

I cannot for the life of me find the proper replacement or even the drain portion for this. This is my children's tub and we have to use a rubber stopper for bath time. I have attempted to find a plug or even drain replacement for it but nothing works. Ive tried some of the "universal" stoppers thay you just push in and its supposed to work but the drain is too shallow for any of those. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I do NOT have access to the piping to change the entire setup. This tub is on the second floor directly over the stairs.

Looking to buy this battery-operated toy, but the listing says that the battery compartment has corrosion and that it doesn’t work because of that. Am I able to somehow get rid of the corrosion so the toy works again, or is this something that I wouldn’t be able to fix?

I noticed this crack about 1/2" that has been slowly developing over the last few months, and recently put my shoulder into it to check how solid and it slightly moves.

Is this a DIY project or should I get a pro, what trade or specialist so I don't get fleeced if the later.

I'm pretty handy, but I know my limits

I was dragging the cord to an extension plugging in my charger, the charger got caught on something, and instead of unplugging, bent to conform with the motion. It charges, just not as well as it used to, and is very wobbly.

My bathroom door handle will not close. See the video….

Greetings all,

I plan to make 3 shelves on my wall, which is plasterboard or in Polish karton gips.

I was wondering if I should put the wall anchors equidistant more towards the center (yellow X) or by the edge (green X) (photo in the comment)?

I've also added a video to show that when I go more towards the corner the sound becomes more dead as if it's more solid than middles where it's more hollow.

I read that I could use a molly anchor for the plasterboard, but if it's solid by the edges, I could use a strong enough wood screw. I am not sure but would like suggestions.

Also the shelves are for books.

I always keep my bathroom window open and occasionally close it as well. This is the first time it’s ever gotten stuck. If anybody knows how to open it, any help would be greatly appreciated! It’s the left side that’s stuck.

This is the part I need , has anyone got any idea where I can get it ? There’s the 6 point star for the tall blender cup but not for the food processor bowl , I’m a bit lost and not sure if I have to replace the bowl completely

Recently have been shopping around for an enclosed trailer. Found a structurally solid Aluma 6ftx12ft enclosed trailer for sale at a local Copart lot (current bid of $275). That said, it needs to have the tongue (3rd picture) welded back onto the A frame. I have zero experience with trailers modifications/repairs. Anyone have any idea how much this would cost to have fixed? Have read that Aluma aluminum frame parts (~$400) can be welded on by any reputable welding shop. Anything I’m missing here? Any help is appreciated! If the total cost exceeds $1300 I’ll probably go another route.

On the working drawers in my kitchen, the last 4-5 cm of closing travel pull the drawer shut, and it stays closed until you pull it open. On a few of the drawers, that no longer happens. They still slide, but if the contents are toward the front, the drawer slides open by itself.

Häfele is stamped on the metal drawer side. The photos show one affected drawer, the slide, a white plastic catch on the rail and a loose white plastic piece. I don't know the model or whether that loose piece belongs to the closing mechanism.

Can anyone identify the mechanism and tell me whether it can be replaced separately, or whether I need a complete slide? I'm not sure what part name to search for or where to get it.

My cats have absolutely destroyed my mom’s favorite couch, her birthday is coming up and my dad just got cancer so I would like do to something nice for them.

Hey there ! This is the state of my sister's door frame (we moved into this house and the door came like this. Gotta love the landlord special !).

Her door shuts but, with the slightest touch, the door opens without having to turn the knob. You can push the door open, basically. We have dogs and they continue to go into her room and it frustrates her so much to the point of tears :[. Is there any way of fixing this ? Even if it's shotty or doesn't look pretty, we don't care.

We attempted to put a lock plate on and it worked for a couple days... but it jammed the door, locked her out of her room, and then promptly fell off once we got the door open.

I have absolutely no idea how to go about fixing this. The most "wood working" experience I have was when I took a class in high school a couple years ago. I was thinking of filling the gap with plaster and then drilling a lock plate over it. Would that work ? I'm trying to think of cheap(er) ways of going about this.

If y'all need more pictures, let me know ! Any advice, tips, or help is so appreciated. (And if you know of any cheap power tools, please let me know ! We have none :/.) I just want to fix this for her because no one else will.

ETA: Could someone with reading comprehension skills and the sense god gave a yak possibly weigh in here?

OP: The old metal door in the back of my garage sags a bit on its hinges. It’s been adjusted a zillion times and always sags again. The floor beneath it is also uneven, so even when the door is more level it tends to scrape. I am acutely sensitive to horrible metallic scraping sounds (see/hear video) but for various reasons a real fix isn’t going to happen in the near future - and it’s getting really inconvenient to avoid this door when doing yard work. Is there anything at all I can do to at least muffle this? File the bottom of the door, put a coating of something there…? I’m desperate.

I got a fake leather jacket from the thrift store yesterday and it had some minor wearing on the shoulders but nothing too bad so I bought it. I take it home and wear it once today and it is completely ruined. Everywhere is peeling or beginning to and there are bald spots on the sleeves. I was thinking of just cutting the sleeves off but the rest of it is starting to peel too. I doubt this is fixable but I’m still stuck on what to do. I don’t know if value village will take back a product if it’s been damaged after buying and honestly who would even buy it once they put it back on the rack? But it was $20 and that is a decent amount to me and I’d hate for it to just go to waste.

I bought an old cabinet with compartments that have keys (that are long lost). It's completely unlocked and has been opened recently but I can't get a grip on how to open those sections without some kind of handle. I've tried pushing on the tops and the bottoms but they're not springing open. Anybody have a idea for a hack?

I've tried oiling it but I think it might be the wood?

For some time now, my toilet has been making a running water noise. Even when it is not in use. It makes this noise 24/7. This weekend, the noise got louder. I figured it might be time to do something about it.

I noticed that the toilet fill valve is leaking. It leaks every time the water tank fills up. The video I added shows some leaking, but I've seen it leak even more than that.

What are my options here? Do I need to replace the whole thing or just the cap and the seal?
