Overview

Sometimes being an expert DIYer is not about building something new, but restoring something old. The Fix It! Contest is your chance to show off how you repaired something that broke and made it better. This can mean restoring it to mint condition or modifying it to be even better than new!

The Instructables demonstrating the best repairs will have the chance to win a Canon DSLR camera, iPad or Leatherman.

The Fix It! Contest is closed.
