McGyver Tools
Anybody ever made their own tool(s) to use on stuff? The most I ever did was make my own breaker bar and that’s it.

Made a 13.5mm wrench with a grinder and a 13mm wrench. With a welder a grinder and Craftsmen tools you can make neat stuff and then try to get new ones. Or cheap Kmart tools that you don't mind destroying.

I've welded sockets to lock nuts before, that was just out of necessity though.
I may or may not have done soldering with a bic lighter
