I agree with what magicniner just said, but I can also see why Sven said what he said.
The method I use is to give it a good thinking about to identify the hardest part of the project, do a few experiments with bits I have laying about, R&D some ideas to find the best way forward, then engineer it properly to the best of budget and ability. By sorting the hardest part out first, I know for sure the rest will be possible.Last edited by EddyCurrent; 06-01-2015 at 02:19 PM.

I think hacking in this context is best explained as "Getting to your goal as quickly as possible, using what ever is readily available."
It is possibly meant as lifehacking, but then with tools:

Finding the "Right way" isn't difficult it just takes a little research. Unfortunately it seems in this fast moving world patience isn't a virtue many have and everything is wanted NOW.! . . . That includes Knowledge and thats where it goes Tits up.!
Hack is the Same as Bodge in my world!! . . . Bodge = Do it again.!!
Hack is something I do to Limp my car home when it's trying to die.!!
Hack is pointless when doing it right means only 5% extra effort.!!

Hack to me is, taking a bunch of "stuff" and hacking it to work with, along side and each other when neither where originally designed to do so, engineering or reverse engineering I believe it's called.
0nce the engineering is done, you then design the bespoke parts and ultimately the new final product.
But hey!, what do I know!, I build cnc machines out of wood!
