I grew up in a family of redneck engineers. If they had some scrap and a few basic tools, they could make or fix anything. Now, would they also follow zero safety precautions? Yes. Did my uncles only have 20 fingers between the 3 of them? Also yes.
Redneck engineering is about finding solutions to problems with whatever you have laying around. It’s about being creative, and sometimes solving an issue that maybe isn’t really even an issue. You were just bored and could do it.
Here’s some of the funniest examples of redneck ingenuity we found online. Please don’t try this at home.
