I suppose whatever it takes to get the job done.
I spent a year in Thailand while in the Air Force. This was the mid-70s. Back then, gasoline cost something like 80 cents a gallon there. That was probably more than what most of them made in a day.
I saw all sorts of home made devices and work-arounds because people had no money. Buying something new was almost out of the question or even getting something fixed. The things I saw on motor vehicles would have you shaking your head. Instead of an air filter, I once saw what looked like panty hose tied to the carburetor. I don't know if he ever ran it because I would have expected it to melt. Instead of a shift lever on a motorcycle, I saw a pair of vise grips clamped to the shaft. It scared me to think what they did for a brake job yet I rode around quite a bit in the small pickups that were used as taxis.

I wonder how you say "Git 'er done!" in his native tongue!

No breathing spray mask? Where is OSHA when you need them? LL~

That's ingenious. Two thumbs up!
Nothing that elaborate, but when I was a kid dad pulled the compressor out of an old refrigerator to use as a vacuum pump. A hose on the output line powered a badger air brush and kept bicycle tires full of air.

thats crazy.

That is awesome! It appears to be a fan motor, connected to the wheel end of a hand-crank grinder. The grinder handle is driving a bicycle pump to a wheel which is an air tank. The sprayer is piped in by puncturing the rubber of the wheel. Ingenious!
I would not want it, but I am glad to see someone came up with it.
