About

I am Hugh Jeffreys. I have had a passion for technology and filmmaking since I was 9 years old. I create YouTube videos on restoring broken phones, tablets, computers and other electronics as well as customising or modifying various devices to produce stunning one of a kind products. In doing this I aim to reduce the amount waste going to landfill and to educate people on the topic of DIY repair. Looking for more content? Check out my website for my store and the repair equipment I use. My social media also provides an insight into upcoming videos, behind the scenes and content that doesn't always make it to a YouTube video.
