#OakPark Saturday, April 11, 2026 - Oak Park Fix-It Cafe

Every 2nd Saturday/mo @ 11am-2pm
at Community Shop Class, 3818 Stockton Blvd
(turn into parking lot behind between Community Shop Class and Luigi’s)

"Neighbors sharing with neighbors, since 2017.

#Bicycles. #Clothes. #Lamps. Tools. #SmallAppliances. #KnifeSharpening. Computer Consultation

(Almost) Anything is Fixable.

Oak Park Fix-It Cafe is a group of community members who gather once a month to hang out, help anyone with any needed repairs, and (sometimes) even learn a new skill or two!

Come join your neighbors as we share what we have to fix what we need. Or just come as you are, take a load off, have a cup o’ joe and a cookie, and maybe make some new friends. If you need to just relax with friends, we’re here for that. If you want to get your hands a little dirty, we can help there, too.

This is always FREE, and always for EVERYONE—no matter your housing status, language or background."

For those who (like me) might have dipped their toes into sharpening their kitchen knives on a w(h)et stone but aren't very good yet:

The one video that eventually helped me was this 5-minute one, using the first technique (spine away), and switching ambidextrously/symmetrically to the other hand for the other side.

Happy chopping!
