Hello all!
As DIYers, we all have found our fair-share of hodge-podgey work arounds, and cheap ways to do things that companies charge a lot for.
I thought it would be useful to share them. I'm fairly new, so my list of elegant, cheap-o solutions is pretty short.
Sorbothane feet. IsoNodes are expensive. These aren't, and they're identical: http://www.amazon.com/Sorbothane-Hemisphere-Non-Skid-Adhesive-Durometer/dp/B003IMSIBA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1329880811&sr=8-3
Need to dampen just about anything? A really great material is that stuff those Tempurpedic beds are made out of.
If you go to http://www.tempurpedic.com/ and "request a sample", they'll send you a piece of the material about the size of kitchen sponge. It's not much, but boy can it absorb just about anything, it was invented for the Space Shuttle, and in the commercial, the lady jumps up and down next to a glass of wine - point being, it can absorb some energy!
So, as a DIYer, how have you McGuivered it?
