Not everything with a cracked plastic case is destined for the bin.
This Flymo came into TOG with a badly damaged outer shell. Our member Ambrose repaired it with a plastic welder, melting the plastic and embedding metal staples across the break from the inside to reinforce it.
That is one of the joys of a hackerspace: shared tools, shared knowledge, and people willing to give things a second life.

@tog my neighbour had a flymo
For those unaware, it is a wheelless lawn mower, which floats when started. Very cool lawnmower.
