Welcome to MacGyver’s How-To Guide!

 

The point of this page is to showcase MacGyver-like things I have done, and to help you, the reader, learn to think like television’s greatest problem solver. The solutions to these problems are probably not the best solutions, and they are certainly not the “correct” solution.  They are, however, solutions that involved whatever materials I had on had or could easily acquire.  They are also very inexpensive solutions.  After all, MacGyver rarely had a store he could go for supplies.
