Do it yourself or DIY…For a lot of folks this is a way of life. Not everyone has the money to pay someone to fix a problem they may have. The problem is that not everyone has the tools or knowledge to do some things. This is my main focus for the Eden DIY Club. My vast knowledge and back ground of fixing things to save money has served me well; And I want to share the knowledge to the great community members of EdenFantasys.

We will look at ways to fix toys, make storage for said toys and anything else we can think of. Not only that but we will toss in some stuff around the house and garage. Things like, how to patch a hole in drywall or changing your own oil. Pretty much anything that does not require a degree in engineering or a mongo tool box.

Our first meeting will be on making a hands free lube/massage oil dispenser. I also have neat idea for using old lube bottles with pump tops for toy cleaners that can be used for massage oils too.

I hope that everyone will come and join the fun with me. I am sure that we all can learn from each other to better our lives. Plus, saving a few bucks by doing it yourself will be a rewarding experience and give you more money for toys.

You can use this thread for suggesting ideas you would like to see, questions you may have or anything else you can think of. You can also message me onsite or email me at dwtims@gmail.com less

It sound great, Tim. I wish I could get my husband interested in the site. He's a DIY guru, too!

We'll have to find that thread where my JoyDivision The Body vibe's dial broke off, and I sent you pics, and you detailed how to fix it. (My husband just looked at and said, "I'm not gluing a dildo back together. Just buy a new one." The fact they I was lucky enough to have been chosen to test one of the few in the USA and they are impossible to get here now, and it's one of my favorite toys may have been lost on him. ) But, with your help, and my trusty fingernail glue, I fixed it! Remember? It's as good as new and used virtually every day. less

This sounds like a great club. I'm never around for club meetings at night b/c my kids and husband are home from school-work, but I'll be sure to check it out the next day.

Just got back from getting my oil changed at wal-mart and had to wait in the car 15-20 minutes before an attendant even came to see what I needed so a simplistic step-by-step guide to changing oil would be great.

How to change a flat tire?
How to easily modify your toys?
How to pick out the best tools for the job? less

If you don't mind, how much did it cost? Also, can you give me the total time you spent there waiting for it to get done?

That is one of the topics on my list, it only takes a few tools and only about 20 minutes or so to do. The upfront investment might be a bit expensive but once you have them you will get the money back after two or three oil changes by DIY.

Flat tires could be done as well, it does require a bit more knowledge but the info is readily available as far as where to place your jack and torque of lug nuts etc.. Of course I can help with that one too. I set my wife up right with a nice floor jack and a breaker bar so even her small body can get the lug nuts off.

What's great about both of these topics is they relate to each other; both require you to jack up the car.

We will most certainly go over proper tools for various jobs, that is one thing that keeps us safe and our knuckles from harm. less

Sure, why not? My machine is a bit different from most you may see but the basics are the same.

As you can see it is about twice as big as a average house machine. Where mine differs the most is its ability to sew heavy materials like canvas and leather but I can sew lighter materials too. less
