Don't make fun of me!
I have literally ZERO money right now!
Got sick of clutter so here's to fifteen minute poor-house projects.
Chime in, tell me I'm not the only poor guy out there!

If it works, it's awesome....lol

All that matters is if it does the job you need it to do.

Ha Ha you have no money...(sorry, I just had to)

Using junk to make a usefull item, that my friend is a WIN.


Just so you know, I'm broke too. I used old stryofoam, a little glue, and an exacto knife to make my storage draw usefull.

I aslo used an old tums bottle with holes cut out. Exelent holder. I painted it black, had some spray paint in the closet.

If you'd stop spending all of your money on 7-11 Double Gulps, you'd probably save up enough to get a ProVari.

:D

Seriously, whatever works, works.

I had a piece of old seasoned pine that I cut up using a saw I already had. I glued the pieces together using glue I already had. Drilled it using a drill motor and drills I already had, then sanded it with sandpaper I already had. Then, I waxed it using beeswax I already had and came up with this.

I've also made one for my 22mm diameter Vamo and atomizers. That one is from an old piece of seasoned oak.

I'm not poor, but I didn't get to where I am by spending money needlessly. I do remember my lovely bride and I going to the grocery store with $25 and having to buy groceries for two weeks. In current dollars, that works out to be about $43. Lots of beans and rice, Ramen noodles and homebaked bread in a breakmaker my grandfather gave me for Christmas.

Trudge on, young man. Work hard, save money, be frugal when you can. It gets better. :) But never forget the lessons learned from today. They'll last you a lifetime.

That's just good old fashioned redneck engineering. Don't have any pics of it but I prototyped my first tube mod with a toilet paper roll

You better split the royalties with me...I was using toilet paper roll tube mods in high school...that was 1980-1984! I used an Apple mod back then a few times...some beer can mods, a potato mod (gave me the munchies and cured the munchies at the same time...quite the invention)

Did all of those except the potato
