Dont know if this counts, I was throwing out a foot stool, figured I could used the cushion part, mounted it on the bottom of a milk crate. Softer on the ****.

In saying that you didn't find what you were looking for are you looking for something specific? Maybe we can help.

I don't know if this is considered the official "home made tool thread" but it's pretty good ...

That is very impressive. Looks like it was made by Snap On!

Yeah, but it's missing the $465.00 price tag.

Dad and I made a wrench for the clutch fan bolt of a '99 suburban since we didn't have the size laying around.

Universal camshaft pulley holder. I just screw several crappy wrenches together. Ironically, all the wrenches are made in USA so I can claim the tool is made in USA.

That is seriously cool, and the fabrication looks flawless, very professional!

Even if they weren't, you could still claim "Made in the USA of global components"...
