Okay, I'm asking. Anybody got one for free?

I am currently living without any shop facilities at all. In days past I would have not hesitated to just clip a piece of wire, bend it and heat treat it. As things are, I do not have a torch, a brick, or a cup of oil to quench in other than extra virgin olive oil. If I can solve a problem or make an improvement for the price of a six-pack.....Hey, porque no? If it doesn't work then another lesson will be learned for a lot less money than some previous lessons.
