Gardening Tips DIY Seed Tray Tamper by @fixed1t

It's seed planting time in the greenhouse or seed trays and there is no better way to start than to gently flatten the compost so you can equally space out the seeds to figure out what is plant and what is seed when they start growing. There are commercial seed trey Tamper's available but they are expensive for what they are so I made my own. You just need to cut a piece of wood to the size of your tray and put a handle on it. Here is my Gardening Tips DIY Seed Tray Tamper by Malcolm aka  @fixed1t ​

Making Fine Autumn Leaf Mulch Fast

This video shows how I used an Lithium Powered Lawnmower for Making Fine Autumn Leaf Mulch Fast When Autumn or the Fall arrives so does the annoying chore of racking up all the leaves, a lot of people do it then throw them into the recycling bin to be taken away, this is a terrible waste of good nutrients and potential compost. Others may pile them in a huge pile in the garden and wait for them to rot down. The problem is this takes up a lot of space and takes years to break down. It would be much better if you could chop them into small bits and get all the leaves into a few bags. This is exactly what I've done using my Petrol Driven Lawn Mower in this video.

Fixing My Flat High Power Lithium Car Emergency Battery Pack Part 2

Fixing My Flat High Power Lithium Car Emergency Battery Pack - Part 2 In previous video, I showed how I restarted my dead Toyota Auris Hybrid car after Covid 19 lockdown using a portable powerpack. It started my dead car but the next time I went to use the battery it was dead. Putting it on the charger gave an instant green light, but it was totally dead. You must watch Part 1 for Part 2 to fully charge the battery. In - Fixing My Flat High Power Lithium Car Emergency Battery Pack - Part 1 I showed how I could revive the battery to 3 volts. In this video I show how I took the battery and work on it further to fix the power pack. Please remember. Doing anything with Lithium batteries can be dangerous and should only be tackled by a crazy competent person like me.

Fixing My Flat High Power Lithium Car Emergency Battery Pack - Part 1

In a previous video I showed how I restarted my dead Toyota Auris Hybrid car after not using it during the Covid 19 lockdown. I purchased this power pack to power my telescope rather than lugging a huge battery and torch around and to be able to charge my phone at the same time. The battery dead indeed start my dead car but I forgot to recharge it in the car as I drove. The next time I went to use the battery with the telescope it was dead. Putting it on the charger gave an instant green light, but it was totally dead. If there are no protective circuits in a power pack, they let the lithium cells discharge to far, and the protection circuits cut in and they die, DEAD never to be recharged by the charger. However, after weeks of research and messing about, I've figured out a way to recharge it. If you bought one of these super power packs and its died and its out of the return time, on the supplier from overseas won't help, here os what I did. You must watch Part 1 for Part 2 to fully charge the battery. Doing anything with Lithium batteries can be dangerous and should only be tackled by a crazy competent person like me.

Almost Got caught By eBay Offer

Damn,

I just nearly got caught by the eBay again.  I'd just finished working on re-wiring and repairing an amazing 22" Silver Humanoid WowWee Robotics Robosapian RS V2 Robot

As the eBay money back guarantees and PayPal Seller Protections have helped me in the past and as eBay shipping is very cost effective and has worked well for me in the past I thought I'd sell the Robot through eBay.

So when this arrived today,

I created my item Ad and was just about to post it when I remember my video from a few weeks ago 

You'd think how could I fall for this if I'd made a video LOL, truth is I'm not quite with it as I've caught a Cold Virus from the kids I work with. 

So I won't now be post until tomorrow when the great deal I've been offered actually comes into effect, rather than today when It appears to be a good deal but not until tomorrow.

So I say again, when one of these deals hits your eBay make sure you read the small print before committing your posts or you will find yourself with a larger bill for selling than you anticipate.

How To Start To Become A Gadget Fixer By @fixed1t

Question From Subscriber:

Hi Malcolm, Where did you learn to repair electronics like clocks and this Nintendo console? Did you go to a special school to learn repairs?

Answer From fixed1t:

No I was always interested in dismantling things and putting them back together as a child, I used to ask people for old broken watches and after buying myself watch makers screwdrivers, tweezers, rubber grommets, and oil I'd taken them apart clean them and rebuild them. Then in my early 20s I tried to fix our band 'CIRCUS' guitarist fuzz box and failed badly, so I decided to build myself an analogue synthesiser from scratch from articles I'd seen in magazines on the lines that by the time I had it working I'd know what I was doing.  

As I couldn't afford the PCB's I made my own, and couldn't afford components so I ripped apart people old junk and desolder the parts and only bought what I couldn't obtain and this process has continued on from there. All of the fixed1t video fixes were done out of necessity for myself or to help others and then posted to help others who might want to try things themselves.  the fixed1t name came from repairing toys for a friends disabled son who had a habit of breaking them, I was there one bay when he deliberately broke something and was being told off and he turned to me and said "Uncle Malcolm Will FIXEDIT" but when I tried to use the name I discovered there were a lot of variations but no "fixed1t" thus fixed1t was born.

I still try to work on cheap solutions that most people could do with infinite patience. You may have noticed complaints from people about a few of my slow ambient compositions I put on my early videos, but I wrote them to be calming background pieces that help me relax and maintain my patience doing delicate slow work and for those who watch the entire video they'll see its by me fixed1t and its called "Patience Pays" and it does. They also complain my videos are tooooo looooong, without realising they are paced so that others can literally follow along pause, work move on, pause work. Alas people want instant 30 sec fixes, and thats the way to create crap fixes or to screw it up so bad that you end up throwing it away.

If you want to start fixing things, I suggest you go to a charity shop and buy the cheapest Quartz clock they have, take it home a slowly (taking picture as you go) dismantle it like this: . 

Then leave it a day or so and slowly put it back together. If you can remember how to just reverse you video and copy it slowly, I recommend that you have a calming or ambient piece of music in the background which will relax you and help you concentrate, it seriously helps and slows you down as your respiration will fall in with the music pattern and your heart rate will drop.

I find the 70s 80s electronic music from Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno or fixed1t useful ;-)

Please Let me know how you get on.

Regards Malcolm aka #fixed1t @fixed1t
