Default Cheap fixes, ETC

Since we Mod A guys are renown for our, ahem .... "economy" I thought I would collect stories about how "Cheap" we have been with our restorations. My own efforts have produced my "roadside" saw which is a 10" blade, 1 1/2 HP Grizzly that someone had taken apart with a sawzall and junked at the side of the road. Thank God they only cut the bolts! Another time I was in a flea Market and I bought a large can of used and new screws for $.50. There was a large number of 12 X 24s round heads and oval heads in S.S. Then I had a large Ash tree cut down in the yard, rather than burning the wood, I took a ten ft log to the saw mill and had it ripped into 1'' and 2'' slabs from which I produced the pcs for my Town Sedan. I have a lot more but I can't remember them. So Please share what little tricks or lucky circumstances you've used to complete your projects.
