| Oct 14, 2010 at 17:38 | comment | added | Seth J | Yahu, the following discussion refutes the idea that simply disassembling easy-to-reassemble parts of the vessel can fulfill "breaking and fixing" (Gmar Melachto): bit.ly/cy5GZh The following discussions also assert that plugging in an appliance (Svarah of R' S"Z Auerbach) does not necessarily solve the problem: bit.ly/aATxt0 and bit.ly/bo7VA9 I will admit that I have seen no original sources on the subject, hence my question about a coffee grinder: bit.ly/dBHZGT | |

| Apr 22, 2010 at 19:33 | comment | added | Yahu | maasah uman is a whole other discussion... Something that in the old days when tools were scarce is commonly done today by many due to availability of tools and information - is that no longer maaseh uman? | |
| Apr 22, 2010 at 18:40 | comment | added | Alex | Are you sure about that? I thought I recall seeing somewhere that it has to be something that is "maaseh uman" - that only a craftsman would be able to fix. | |

| Apr 22, 2010 at 17:26 | comment | added | Yahu | Breaking does not mean that it can not work. As long as what you are doing affects the vessel in a 3 dimensional manner, e.g. adding on or engraving, then it is considered a vessel you made. It goes to follow that unscrewing a screw, taking it out, reinserting and tightening it would be enough. | |
