Things you wouldn't think of as a "hack".

There are many people out there that think you have to know something about coding or electronics to be a hacker. But there are many non-tech ways to hack.
A good example is a guest post my partner Andrea did on Offbeat Home.
Why damaged tablecloths may be the most surprisingly useful item in your home
Here simply simply asking about damaged tablecloths at your local rental store could get you some useful gear.
This is also a great example of look in places that you wouldn't think of looking.
Andrea also found found a good portion of the parts for this DIY thresher.
*soon to come post from Andrea on that*

One of our local scrap places sells these used plastic barrels for $20. I had the steel 75 gallon drum sitting around my farm. The strap was found along the rail road tracks. The motor was sitting in my pole barn, and the better arms where built out of old lumber laying around both of our places.
There are no microcontrollers, no computers at all, just good old fashion farm hacking.

And this is just example of this, there are many many more out there on the net.
So just remember, you don't have to be a tech wizard to be a hacker.

Keep on hack'n!!
