I fixed my shoes with pine tree sap.

It’s about 100° where I live right now. So the tree sap leaking from the tree outside is super runny and liquid. I mixed it with ash and charcoal dust from burnt matches and used small tools to apply it to the rubber strap that tore off and split.

Central AC stopped working during a heatwave. None of my windows are the right shape for a window AC :(

I have family coming over later and I want them to be cool otherwise I'd just tough it out.

Three tapes and a Walmart belt.

Took this pic in the dollar store parking lot. Seemed like it was holding. The belt still had the price tag on it, too!

Lost my AC adapter, so I engineered a self-tensioning spoke matrix using a takeout container and zip ties.

My upstairs rental bedroom was a literal oven because the central AC up here is barely a whisper. I dug out a portable cooling unit, but the factory hose adapter was missing, and the heavy pipe kept tearing right off the machine. I raided the recycling bin and found a black takeout bowl that matched the diameter perfectly, but it had no tracks to lock into the unit.

Instead of ruining a rental appliance with screws or sticky tape, I poked holes in the bowl and threaded zip ties into a bicycle-spoke pattern. It is completely self-tensioning- the more the heavy pipe sags and pulls downward, the tighter the internal zip-tie matrix grabs the machine's grille. It is a 100% zero-damage fix that uninstalls with a single scissor snip when I move out. Rate my redneck engineering! haha, happy oven day , i mean summer days.

Hope this fits here?

I build t buckets and roadsters from scratch. Bodies included. But, not wanting to take on such a big project again, I figured this would be a fun hot rod inspired bicycle.

On Monday it started out as a typical Cruiser bike. Usually I like to build my own frames from complete scratch, but this one here, I just widened the rear and did some metal work to fit the car tire in the back. Made a jack shaft for the chain. And painted it a super heavy metal flake red. I was kind of going after the style of an EJ Potter motorcycle. Hopefully this build does good on my YouTube channel. I think it turned out pretty cool for 5 evenings of work and under $200 invested. Would you guys ride this thing?

How does one fix these

We bought a cheap 200 dollar metal bunk bed but it's already broken after 6 months EDIT: We cannot weld it the metal isn't thick enough
