Reading light repair

A broken reading light clip is repaired and beautified with solid oak.

One of my hero's, the great folksinger Pete Seeger, once sung: “If it can’t be reduced, reused, repaired

Rebuilt, refurbished, refinished, resold

Recycled or composted

Then it should be restricted, redesigned

Or removed from production!”


In that spirit, I repaired this plastic clip-on reading light with solid oak, leaving it stronger (and I think nicer looking) then ever.


+1 for ecotopia.

-1 for the landfill.
