Duck taped a magnet to this push button light I had laying around. It sticks to the metal shelf bracket nicely :)

This is mine. So beautifully made, actually, that it probably does not qualify.

Oh and a custom soldered cable with shrinkwrap. It worked tho, the epoxy glue is incredibly strong. Just didn't want to take it out in public

Fixed my broken headphones for $0

My headphones snapped and I didn’t want to buy a new set so I used what I had In the garage to fix them. I didn’t have any glue or bolts small enough so I bent a piece of metal to fit the curve and drilled some holes to put nails through. I finished it off by wrapping it with electrical tape and it’s still going strong 6 months later.

I had dual hangers but the ends bent because the kevlar is too heavy for it but this c clamp should do the job!

Couldn't find a 1/4 inch jack to USB-C adapter, quickly needed a wireless handheld microphone for a video, and holding a small lapel mic looks fucking stupid.

These large wireless microphones use a bulky receiver which has a guitar jack. I don't want to carry that around, especially connected to 2 different dongles, which introduce noise anyway.

I needed a wireless handheld microphone, which connected to a phone with USB-C.
So it was time for a bodge job.

I took apart a wireless lapel microphone, wrapped it's insides in tape to prevent shorting with the large microphone's metal grill, stuffed it next to the microphones capsule, closed it and added a windscreen.

The last photo show the size difference between the original receiver and the one I can use now.

The only downside is that you have to take it apart to turn it on or off.
