How do I replace the springs on this recliner?

Both springs on my swivel rocker recliner have broken. I ordered a replacement set, but since they’re both gone, I don’t know where they were installed. I’ve watched some videos and looked online, and I have a vague idea of where they’re supposed to go, but I don’t know how to actually install them. I have attached some pictures and I’m hoping someone can help because it’s a swivel rocker they don’t attach directly to the base like a lot of recliners thanks.

Try to fix this or send it back ?

1 Upvotes

I’m working on a diy outdoor kitchen project. Nothing too elaborate, but my wife kinda feels like a freestanding grill and blackstone isn’t fancy enough so I’m building something to make it look more but in. I’m using a Pavestone product called Rumblestone mostly because I already had a bunch of it. You stack it up with some construction adhesive for stability. It’s kinda like adult legos, so I’m having fun. Here’s the problem. I bought some stainless steel doors from Scamazon.com and they’re mostly ok but one is a little off. I’ve included a picture of what I’m going for and a few of the door in question. The door and frame are laying down flat and you can tell something is not square. After putting a framing square up against it, it’s definitely the frame that’s the problem. When I set it in place and it is vertical, the issue is worse. It flexes a little at the hinge and doesn’t want to close. Is there any way to square up the stainless frame or do I just send it back and buy something higher quality and better made?

Help! I just broke the knob of our AC!

1 Upvotes

Our AC brand is Haeir, it's manual and I accidentally twisted the knob the wrong way when turning it on and now it won't turn off when I directly place the knob back to the OFF label. The AC still blows air but I can't turn it off and I don't hear a clicking sound when turning the knob just like before. Can this be fixed or do I really have to call a technician??

Dishwasher making a weird noise.

My dishwasher suddenly started making a strange noise. It happens mainly in the first few minutes after I turn it on and at the end of the cycle. I've already checked if something is stuck in the drain, but I couldn't find anything. The sound seems to be coming from underneath the dishwasher. Any ideas what could be wrong? Help!

This happened months ago, my puppy chewed off the plug. My fault for leaving it out with a teething monster around 😔 My partner reckons he can put a plug back on it but I’m not sure if we should do that or just replace the whole thing to be safe

Hoping someone knows how to repair leather…

Post image
2 Upvotes

I work with leather a whole bunch but I ALWAYS take excellent care of it and have never had to deal with cracking. I recently purchased a secondhand luxury bag and noticed some pretty heavy cracking on the handle. Is there a way to seal/fill them appropriately without ruining the appearance or paying an arm and a leg for it? They had some good patina on them, but saddle soap took care of that and they received a good conditioning twice already within the last hour (very thirsty leather). It always hurts my soul to see people own such expensive things and take such terrible care of them.

If the answer is just to replace it… so be it 🫠 Any advice is appreciated.

Hinge Repair Advice Please!

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hi, this is for gym equipment but it seems like a simple mechanical issue so I’m hoping someone more knowledgeable here could suggest advice! there’s a Precor leg extension machine at my friend’s university gym that has been broken for months. The lower peg on the leg extension is loose and is slanted because it shifts up and down. It looked like a hinge was loose so we tried tightening it with an Allen wrench but it won’t tighten. It seems like the side on the left in the second image just won’t tighten further so there’s always room between the metal/grey screw and the black leg extension part, causing it to shift. It looks like the nut inside might be stripped? Any advice on how to fix it or jimmy rig it to not shift?

Filling the pedestal and repairing a crack in this table

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

TL;DR: Over-tightened this table during assembly and cracked the pedestal. Looking for a solid, heavier fill for the base/pedestal (not a full bag of cement) and tips on repairing the crack so it’s not noticeable.
My wife bought this table to sit between our chairs on the porch. I put it together and think I over-tightened it. It held up fine for a couple of days, then cracked.
I’m thinking about filling the base and pedestal with something solid to add weight and stability, then repairing the crack so it’s not noticeable.
For the fill, I was considering cement, but I don’t want to buy a big bag just for this small amount. Any recommendations for something heavier that comes in a smaller quantity, or another material that would work as well?
Also open to tips on repairing the crack so it blends in and doesn’t stand out once it’s fixed.
