Hello All!
I’m Jamie - a Maplin veteran and Film Production graduate who’s new to The Restart Project and currently working on research entitled: ‘What to do next with his life?’!
Taking free time and hobbies more seriously than ‘getting a proper job’ has been a big driving force behind my repairing and recycling mandate.
My old boss at Maplin said ‘you’ve always got everything in pieces’ when referring to my determination to fix customers broken electronics before even attempting to sell them a replacement!
Some success i’ve had includes switching out a blown capacitor in my old bass amp, replacing a motor in one of my model locos with one from a DVD player disk tray and extending the life of my WIFI on my old Galaxy S4 for a few more months with a solder reflow - I never expected that to work!
My belief is that with all the information on the internet anyone with the time and will power can fix pretty much anything and in doing so save their bank balance, the environment and learn a great deal about the technology that they use everyday.
And yeah - i’m also a bit of an enthusiast when it comes to model railways, metal, cycling and beer!
