Show your homemade tools
I'm a little embarrassed showing these in light of the talent we have on this board, but if you're like me, sometimes you don't have the right tool to do the job. So what do you do? Go caveman and make your own!
Example1: I found it difficult to set the rivets when I rebuilt my wing windows so I got a $1.00 Harbor Fright chisel and notched and welded the setting tool to the end. This allowed me to swing the hammer safely above the frame of window. Example 2: I ground a cheap 17MM socket and fashioned a crude spanner to work with the switch bezels. Example:3 The most shameful of all , I hammered a piece of coat hanger to fit in the electrical terminals to release them from their case. I know it's not much but I pretty sure these separate me from lower forms of life.
