#45 Why Use Nuts When Wood Doesn't Rust?
Snapped off a rusted bolt and couldn't get the rest out. Ground the nut hanger thing off and ran a screw into a piece of hardwood until I can get a replacement. The most permanent fix is a temporary one.

#60 High Chair For Inconveniently Tall Deck Railing
My hunting mentor brought me to a friend’s ranch to wait for some hogs that kept digging up his yard. The problem was his deck railing was too tall for just sitting in a normal chair to rest a rifle and have a clean shot down into his yard. So this was my solution. I had conduit on hand and picked up a cheap steel chair. Ended up being the perfect height, too bad the hogs didn’t show up again… lol
