I have an ingenious little table next to my bed which I made. It is the most intelligent thing I have ever seen. It is kitchen shelves for holding food with a piece of wood on top as a bench. I have repurposed it to be a desk next to my table so I can keep shit on it. Why spend money on a proper bedside table when I can ingeniously combine random parts to make my own, autistic, innovative furniture?
This was like ten years ago, but...
The fan on my video card broke, I took off the side of my computer case and put a box fan there. Kept the card nice and cool.
I have a desk extension which rests on a computer case. The computer was outdated years ago and I don't know if it still would boot, but I can throw it away without giving away precious desk surface area.
I still have the shelves to a computer desk I had for years. I use the shelves for storage in my tool room now.
My bed is taller than my TV stand, so I can't see it when I lay down and enjoy my hearty bowl of steamed broccoli. Its now propped up on some old computer boxes and ever since then I can see the screen!
Also you guys are pretty creative when it comes to jerry rigging stuff.
I have a bunch of gallon sized glass jars that once held green olives that I use for fermenting small batches of beer. I have graduated to doing larger batches now, and I use buckets meant for fermenting, but I still use my 1 gallon jars when I am experimenting with new brews.
