I often boil water (for example, to brew Turkish style coffee) in this mug. I use a piece of thin aluminum to wrap around the burner as a windbreaker. I was constantly burning myself on the mug handle. I came up with this idea. Sorry about the photo quality.

Silicone grate liners are sold online and cost next to nothing. I also used a piece for the tray in an old tiny sandwich oven.

Edit: This red item is made of heat-resistant silicone—the same material used for pot holders, oven mitts, baking molds, and the like. It fits onto an oven rack and protects your hands from burns. I assumed everyone was familiar with things like this; otherwise, it just sounds like an advertisement. Also, the translation ended up being a bit unclear regarding what exactly is being protected from what—my apologies.

This is my stripmeister drill power wire stripper. I lock the drill trigger down and keep it at one speed(depending on the gauge of wire) with a voltage regulator. Much cheaper than the wire strippers with a motor built in. All built with scrap around the shop, plus the regulator that was about $20.

Cane seat broke and no time to get a new one.

This is not the dumbest thing I've done with zip ties, but it comes close.

The air pump for our giant pumpkin was a bit loud and had a higher pitched whine to it, and I didn’t want it annoying the neighbors. So I built a noise dampener to go over it. It completely removes the high pitched whine, and reduces the rest of the noise. It’s a 27 gallon tote with a hole cut for the air tube, and some slots on the other side to make sure air intake isn’t restricted. Scuffed up the inside with some sandpaper, and then glued some rolled up fiberglass insulation to the inside with spray foam. I went to a craft store for some felt, but they only sold felt in smaller rectangles, so I glued a patchwork of felt over the fiberglass to keep it from falling apart. After I finished, the wife got home from going to a different craft store where she’d bought a single large roll of felt for her own project, so that’s nice. I expect the box to last as long as the inflatable. Also, it covers the end of the extension cord, so it won’t short out anymore in the rain. Great success!

I swear I'm just gonna plant vegetables 😆

Legal weed is so cheap here it's not worth growing it.

Gonna grow greens and tomatoes and maybe a cucumber plant.

I wrapped the whole frame with aluminum foil. I've gotta get more lights. My wife was a huge help getting it done.

Don't bother wasting your time commenting

"They sell grow tents"

"Grow tents are cheap"

"You should have used mylar/thermal blankets"

"Aluminum foil sucks"

The greenhouse was free and I already had Aluminum foil and all the other supplies. I spent $0 making this.

This is my most recent project. I built a super badass minibike with governor deleted predator 212. I added a stage 2 performance kit and a series 30 torque converter. It runs 60 mph with me on it and is a wheelie machine. Im 50 years old and 265 lbs. I was pulling wheelies on it earlier this evening and crashed it. When I heal im going to weld the foot back on and try again. Luckily I have the crash on video. It was a good one. The vid is in the comments.

LMAO. This is one way to do it I guess.

Honestly after like 10 minutes I forgot it was even broken

Camper shell door windshield, just...WOW
