Wanted to fill the roller… a 28mm piece of bent copper pipe out of the scrap bin, a funnel and some duct tape! Does this match the criteria?

What are you filling it with? used oil, you'll need a waste carriers permit if it is.

Plastic bung was missing from headstock of the rake. Made a new one from a pringles can. Plastic lid was a tad too big, but base just right.

At £7 a gallon the lawnmower is having a vacation. Calf born with no eyes and webbed nostrils and no teeth has defied the odds to still be here now. Can’t put him with others out side so though two birds one stone

Putting thr plastics back on the quad after changing the drive belt and the bolts holding the plastic to the foot pegs were so rotten I couldn't grip them properly with a socket so needed new bolts. Of course I don't have those special ones with the wider bit at the end to stop it wobbling about but I do have an imagination and a box of weird bits and pieces taken from broken furniture or whatever else I've taken apart over the years.
Needed a blot like that on the left. Found that thing next to it thar is hollow and threaded I think it came out of an old cot. Cut bits off and used washers off broken tec screws and old bolts I found in a bucket and made almost perfect replacents for those I took off in about 5 minutes
