Having recently bought some silver solder I decided to have a go at repairing my dividers. I have two pairs and the bit that holds the pencil broke off on both of them. So far I've only found one and it worked a treat. I'm so pleased cos now I can do big circles again. I'll try to find the other holder cos I used to have a blade in that one for cutting.

Good job repairing your dividers! Looks better than new :)

Thanks guys but if I'd had my wits about me I'd have not used the original pips and angled it a bit so it would have worked better at wider circles. Now I know how good silver solder is I'll make sure I'll do it a bit differently when I work out how to put a blade on the  second one.
