Does anyone know a typewriter repair shop?
I’ve always wanted a baul (a big wooden trunk or pirate’s chest), I don’t know why. I’ve always wanted to travel the world with a steamer trunk, or one of those large trunks with compartments like a closet. Yeah try traveling with a steamer trunk today, the excess baggage charges will kill you. And that’s before you put anything in the trunk.
Rene told me that wooden baul are made in Ilocos and used for storing their abel iloko fabrics. So I asked him to find one for me, and today I had a look at my baul.
It’s perfect. Makes me want to say “Haarrrr” and wear a bandana. I’m going to store my favorite things in it, assuming my cats don’t declare it their territory and forbid its use outside of their war games.
The inside. Fabrics not included. For baul and abel iloko inquiries, email Rene at rene.guatlo@gmail.com.
Then I spotted this in Rene’s bodega and I had to have it. It’s an old Underwood manual typewriter, dusty and rusty but otherwise in good shape. Typewriters are great for when you’re writing something intense and forceful: you can pound the hell out of the keys. Your laptop wouldn’t like that.
Does anyone know a shop that can clean and repair this typewriter?

You can spray wd-40 all over that old typrewriter and it will shine and work like new. Nothing actually breaks in that machine. My old man used to have two of those when we were kids,but I don’t know where they are now.
