The Jank Files

Documenting Peak Performance... and Questionable Methods

Our Guiding Principles

Why aim for 'industry best practice' when 'remarkably cost-effective' sounds so much better on an invoice? Our clients love our commitment to the bottom line, even if it occasionally requires... creative problem-solving, as documented below.

Here, we celebrate the thrifty spirit that asks not "Is this OSHA-approved?" but "Can I save five bucks by doing it this way?". We've discovered that gravity is often negotiable, warranties are merely suggestions, and the most expensive tool is usually the one you actually pay for.

It's this dedication to value engineering that leads to the moments of true genius captured in our gallery. Behold the jank – where frugality meets questionable physics!
