Not everyone can afford a hot tub inside their house. But that didn’t stop a man from fashioning one himself — using only an aluminum truck toolbox, a wheel drum, and a yoga mat.

He’s not the only one who took the phrase “necessity is the mother of invention” quite literally. An entire community of people takes broken, old, or useless items and turns them into surprisingly functional solutions.

They’re called the redneck engineers. Some of their DIY fixes are creative; some others are quite ridiculous. We’ve collected the most interesting ones from r/redneckengineering so that you can admire their genius… or laugh at the bizarreness of it all.
