Angus MacGyver became a pop culture icon because of his innovative DIY solutions. Fans of the hit TV show would fondly remember how he bypassed a high-tech security door by bending light using an ashtray or defused a bomb using a paper clip.
Of course, Hollywood tends to exaggerate, and the chances of meeting an actual Macgyver are slim to none. However, many people have a similar mindset of making do with what they have to get themselves out of a jam.
You will see a lot of these ingenious hacks in the Redneck Engineering subreddit, where people share their clever fixes to some of daily life’s problems. It features photos of makeshift iPad stands, improvised bathtubs, and crafty utensil substitutes.
Here’s our best-of-all-time list for you to enjoy today. Scroll through and be inspired by all the creativity.

I’m Bad For Using Whatever Tool Is Handy As A Hammer, Usually A Crescent Wrench. My Husband Learned A Bit Of Welding And Redneck Engineered This For My Birthday

Having DIY tricks up your sleeve involves a lot of creativity, which many people think they lack. If you’re part of that demographic, you can train your brain to think more outside the box.
Spending more time outdoors is one way to do this. Research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that a 25-minute walk in a green urban area can help quiet the mind and put it on autopilot mode.
When this happens, our brains enter a state of present awareness, sparking the imagination and allowing creative juices to flow.

Every person is wired differently, and each has a unique worldview. Connecting with different kinds of people is another way to get the mind to think creatively.
A study by Johns Hopkins University supports this. Researchers found that exposure to diverse experiences may foster more complex forms of thought, including critical thinking, deeper analytical skills, and creativity.

The best way to open a Master lock is with another master lock
T'Mar of Vulcan 1 year ago
Before he died, my dad did this with our rolling gate. Instead of installing a motor, he just drilled a hole in the gate next to the rollers so that when the gate was closed, a padlock in the drilled hole would prevent the gate from opening. ... One night I heard scrabbling noises at the gate but couldn't see anything because it was really dark by the gate. (I was living by myself at the time, with my little dog, who stayed inside with me at night.) The next day, the plastic 'chicken wire' on the gate (to prevent my doggie from escaping - she was tiny) had been torn open. Obviously someone had ripped it to try to get to the motor... a motor that didn't exist! The person never thought to feel around for a lock in the dark, and must have been stumped when the gate wouldn't open! Stymied by a man who'd been dead for years!!

That has nothing to do with the brakes. They’re easily replaced. You want to avoid flooded cars because the water gets into the wiring and slowly corrodes the connectors and attached electronics. It’s also gets into place where it’s trapped and rusts its way out.

Had Trouble Touch Typing Because I Couldn't Feel The Tiny Bumps On My F And J Keys, So I Made Them... Bigger
Tim Douglass 1 year ago
That's a nice idea. I've actually worn the bumps off of my keyboard, and most of the lettering is worn off too, so sometimes is a bit of trial and error to determine where to rest my hands.

Think Smart

I'm always fascinated that stuff like this is allowed on the streets elsewhere. In Germany you wouldn't last a day with something like that without being heavily fined and the "car" being confiscated.

Same here in the UK, the car would be seized and the driver fined.

They're actually illegal in the US as well, but that law is basically never enforced...

Whatever works, especially since that looks like a kids room. If you're desperate or don't have money for a fan you have to get creative.

When You Don't Have A Potato Masher
BROmanicus85 1 year ago
You could also use 2 forks combined together! I used it when I moved into a new apartment, prior to buying my masher! Works quite well!

Battery Clamp
Tim Douglass 1 year ago
Cable end broke on my dad's van when we were camping when I was in HS. I found a small C-clamp in his tool box and clamped the cable to the post. When that van was sold 15 years later that C-clamp was still doing the job.

That depends on where you are. They’re hard to find and premium priced where I’m at. Old Golf’s and Jettas are easy to find.

When You Can’t Afford A Bunion Splint

What do you think ?
Ladedah 1 year ago (edited)
About 15 years ago, was totally broke... shut off and foreclosure notices every month kind of broke. Winter came around and the door had some gaps, but we couldn't afford proper weather stripping, so made some with stuff that I already had around the house... cut some cardboard into strips, wrapped them in duct tape (to weather-proof them a bit), then nailed them into the door frame. Worked like a charm. We now have formal weather stripping, but it got us through the tough times! Looking for creative people? Look no further than the poor. Poverty is a really great lesson in creativity.
