#IANBOWDEN: Ian Bowden passed away on Tuesday 1 August 2023, and I’m shocked and devastated that he’s gone. Richmond MakerLab and the wider community will miss this modest, kindly, infinitely helpful man who connected people and improved everything he could. I have great memories of chats with him, seeing the inventions he came up with to entertain people, him coming to help me repair a lady’s curtain rail, asking and trusting me to remove and refit a door and its frame despite never having done any such thing in my life, and I’m sure everyone down Richmond way will have hundreds of similar memories. A huge loss, but I’m glad to have known him for the few years I did. Rest In Peace, Ian, I’m sorry you won’t get to see the redevelopment of Ham Close and the brand-new MakerLab space that you did so much to champion and marshal. #richmond #legend #makerlab #inventor

#MAKERLAB: Ian chats with Ian. Both of these fine folks helped me fix my little project. I am always impressed with the knowledge and kindness of everyone at #richmondmakerlab. The details are outstanding. Ian on the left told me tales from his past of repairing CD Players as I was attempting to restore one myself, and his tip about blobs if solder being used in transit to protectively short the circuit came in handy later that evening when I had to detach a zero-ohm resistor on an SSD1322 display. Best #Makerlab in #London. #makers

Finally sick of the #gawdawful poly finish that @fender thought it was ok to slap onto my 1999 American Standard #Telecaster, I took it to the #MakerLab and heat-gunned it off, to reveal a staggeringly nice body underneath. Book-matched. And they covered it with metallic plastic. Sheesh. #guitar #fender
