Human creativity knows no bounds. After all, we were the ones who came up with the pyramids, the computer, and the animated masterpiece Shrek. However, not every invention has to be pretty or cool. Sometimes, creating something just for bits and giggles can be just as rewarding and inventive.

Here we have for you some examples that show even the dumbest solutions and engineering ideas can work, no matter how silly or useless they look. Courtesy of the “Redneck Engineering” community, we’ve compiled a selection of revamped gear that shows you don’t need a lot of money to make something work.

You can totally make a DIY cybertruck (more like a cybershed, to be honest) or MacGyver an iPhone tripod from a spatula and a welding clamp – you just have to get creative!

Well, after you see a small bed welded on to a sierra cab you pretty much have to go back and take a closer look. We were taken by surprise when we got over the hill and saw the tracks underneath.

#22 Turns Out 1/2 Inch Conduit Has The Same Dimensions As Foldable Lawn Chair Frames

Had a friend jump into a lawn chair too hard and snapped one of the frame pieces and bent another, and I wanted to fix it since it has a footrest and most chairs you can find for cheap don’t have that. Turns out $7 gets you 10 feet of conduit and a few couplers which does the job on replacing them pretty well

#47 How My BF Lifted The Washing Machine Onto The Table He Built For Our Laundry Room

He literally drilled into the ceiling just to have something to secure the ratchet straps to the washing machine as he attempted to lift it onto the table with a hydraulic jack (unfortunately I didn’t get a picture of the wooden frame he built, carefully crafted to have a “jack point”, and the wood was ratchet strapped to the bottom of the washer as he jacked it up.

After seeing the washer swinging around a bit, I brought in the paver bricks from the backyard to help with stability after the washer was swinging a bit too much to jack it any higher up.

I was so stressed out about the swinging washer that I walked away after snapping the pic (to send to a friend begging them to come over and bring their bf to help with this washing machine lifting) and came back a few minutes later to see the washer was up on the table he built.

I’m just glad he figured it out because we had no washer or dryer for almost a month after the custom table was built and put in the laundry room, but we couldn’t figure out how to get it up there!
