Uhhh, I replaced a broken pin in my watch band with a cut-up safety pin. Applied some superglue and presto, saved myself 5 bucks at the watchmaker.
Other than that, nothing.

It seems this thread is about MacGyvering things, and not really about DIY.
Since Do it Yourself involves almost anything you do yourself that would involve a repair man.
Well my previous flatmate and me put a video card in the oven to loosen some heatsinks that was glued on with epoxy.

I've removed a wart on my finger using nail clippers, it was successful. I don't even think I have a scar from it.
I've done most of the small home repairs around here since my husband spent his childhood playing videogames, whereas I spent mine building things with my grandfather & father.

I did that too (the nail clippers) and I thought I was nuts...Tasachan said:I've removed a wart on my finger using nail clippers, it was successful. I don't even think I have a scar from it.

Anyway, I fix EVERYTHING myself, even if I have no idea how it works. I did some wiring in my house, fixed various car issues, and taught myself how to fix computers.
That reminds me of when I had warts on my handsTasachan said:I've removed a wart on my finger using nail clippers, it was successful. I don't even think I have a scar from it.

I would have tried to use the nail clippers to remove the warts if there weren't roughly 20 on each hand. I have a skin condition called Dyshidrosis that makes the skin in between my fingers break out in small blisters that release a fluid when popped that dries out my skin causing cracked and flakey skin, oh and did i mention that these blisters and the cracked skin also itch like hell, not the best combination. This makes it relatively easy for infections like warts to spread. Hence the 40 something total warts.
Oh getting those removed was an adventure, the freezing didn't work so the doctor tried injecting each one with a yeast culture to get my body to act against the warts. After two attempts we figured that didn't work either. Finally we were able to remove them using a juice from a south american beetle that causes large blisters to form, raising the skin and yanking the wart roots out. That worked quite well. Haven't had warts in six years.

OK, back on topic.
My entire family consists of DIY minded people. The my generation consists of Duct tape masters. I have duct taped my sandals after they broke. My cousin uses it on everything, even if its not broken yet. My sister uses it to make stuff as well as fix her backpack. When our camper broke we fixed that with duct tape too, you can barely see where we used it.
If there is ever a thing that we can't fix ourselves then we at least help out whoever comes to fix it as best we can.
