The Fix-It Space: Repairing, Repurposing, and Community Tech Solutions with Kevin Schoonover – HGG649

Full show notes, transcriptions (available on request), audio and video at http://theAverageGuy.tv/hgg649

Kevin Schoonover is my guest this week as we look into the growing “fix-it” movement, exploring how repairing everyday items—like lamps, sewing machines, and coffee makers—can save money and reduce waste. Kevin shares his experience with local fix-it clinics in Minnesota and the rise of repair culture amid economic pressures. We also discuss 3D printing for custom parts, the power of community involvement, and the impact of donating and repurposing through organizations like Buy Nothing and Bridging. Thanks for listening!
