Default Improvising with Household Items.

Hi all,
This is a thread where you might like to add any hints or tips about any household items that you might have had to hand, which got you out of a jam at the last minute, and really looked the part when completed.

For example, I used the wire hanger from an old calendar, bent it into shape, and fitted it as a tuning dial pointer. It looked great from the outside, and with a tiny piece of red felt stuck on the end of it that you get from the craft shops I was quite proud of it.
Also, using tiny plastic cotton bobbins, with the ends cut off, to push into holes drilled for extra ventilation.

(If you throw it away today you'll need it tomorrow)
Paul.
