Thanks!
Excellent advice from all.
I’m not talking about opening up some specialty shop or whatever, just that I like to tinker. I’m not going to rebuild the suspension in my car or whatever, but if something breaks or quits my first inclination is not to buy a new one, it’s to see if it’s fixable.
Also, I’ve had times when I could not find a part. If I can manufacture a fix then that works for me!
