It’s about 4mm too short. It’s a classic trope with clamps - you never have enough of them or the right one.

The solution is always more clamps

This is absolutely true. I have 1.5 meter pipe clamps as well but the first time I tried using them ended up the same way: not long enough.

The price difference would’ve bought me 8 hot dogs!

I did, but lets not talk about that.

Well, all I’m going to say is that I’ve been on a few hikes with my ex and it wasn’t me complaining the whole trip.

Lemmikki is pet in Finnish. This cart is for pushing them (mostly dogs) around the store.

The pictures in the sign.

Correct. Show jumping poles.

I’m not from UK though.

I forgot to take pictures of how I attached the top ends of the vertical studs to the wall. I didn’t want to drill holes into the container, so I used the existing tie-down points. I bent some threaded rod into a U-shape, slipped it through the tie-down loop, and tightened the 2x4 to it with washers and wing nuts.

I rarely post there anymore because every time someone complains it’s not dull enough.

It’s machine screws attached into threaded inserts in the door. The same ones the original handle was attached with.

Not gonna lie, I spent like 5 hours on the first one. Had that been a commission for a customer, it would’ve been a 300€ fridge handle. Two of them would more than double the price of the fridge itself.

I honestly do too.

The Japanese even have a term for this kind of thing: Kintsugi - for when instead of hiding the repair you embrace it. I like the aesthetic personally. I think it adds character. I’ve got plenty of builds and repairs like this around the house that might not look so pretty but are handmade and of high quality.

I’m yet to dive into that rabbit hole but it’s just a matter of time. My understanding however is that the technology is already mature enough to be actually practical for normal users too.

I was going to paint it first but decided against it. Should probably still seal it with something or it’ll look dirty real quick.

She took off about 6 months ago. Couldn’t live with the missing fridge handle I suppose.

Maybe I should call her…

Wanted to make sure it’ll outlive the fridge!

Here’s what I’ve done in the past and will keep doing in the future. Since we’re already rebuilding everything anyway might as well just redo the entire floor.
