Come on, you know what I’m saying.
Most anything, using the handyman’s secret weapon…
So remember, if the women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy
Don’t know if this fits with what you want to get at, but the main part of the rear mudguard for my mountainbike has now been the cut-up bottom of a 1.5l plastic bottle, fixed with zip-ties to the end of the bike, for many years.
Not only is it superior in function to all the expensive commercial variants I used up to now (actually has a suitable shape and size to catch all the mud…), but it surprisingly also seems to be more durable. And also lighter.
Optics are… special… though.
But I really see that as a positive point: The more ugly a bike appears, the less likely it will get stolen.
Besides, it is a nice talking point when meeting new people :-)Spoon rests are just another that needs cleaning. If you are using a pot with a hole in the handle for hanging, a clothes pin can grip a mixing spoon while the other side of the pin gets wedged in the hole. Spoon drips back into the pot, and no additional cleaning is needed.
TIL spoon rests exist. Not sure why, though.
I made a padlock cover with a cheap bin and a hinge from a dollar store.The lock used to freeze all the time in the winter.

I have couple “redneck engineering” solutions I can think of. But most of the time it is out of necessity because it needs to be done on the spot, or a real thing does not exist. Ohh and I don’t have a 3d printer to solve it elegantly.
Examples that I can think of: an LED controller right now is being cooled by a repurposed coller affixed with a metal clamp. It is better bc it works.
I’m using a plastic lid under a mason jar ring lid, with an x cut in it for a watering tube. Better than not having any lid on.
