Garage
My wife recently had shoulder surgery. She goes to physical therapy twice per week, and they assign her "home work" exercises. One of them uses a pulley to each hand, and she pulls her new shoulder up higher with the other hand to stretch the tendons and muscles. It has a little S shaped hook that is an 2 inches wide to hook over a door.

The plastic hook broke. I spent an hour in the garage hammering and bending a piece of aluminum into that shape, and then 30 minutes more lining the inside with a foam rubber sheet to prevent scratching the door. She could buy a replacement hook, made of metal, with a plastic coating on it for ten bucks delivered to the door.

It was all built of "stuff" I had in the garage, so the cost was nothing in materials, just my time. it will never break however.
