From that list you're basically limited to houses and their subsystems. The trade is always time for money: any cash you save not hiring a tradesman to do the same thing is spent in opportunity cost for the days / weeks / months / years it takes you to redo your bathroom

Platform bed frame. Built entirely from Home Depot cut plywood and molding. Turned out fine and was inexpensive. Used hand tools only.

Depends what you mean. I used a rubber coupling to join pvc to my old lead drainage in two separate applications in my house. Definitely much cheaper than getting a plumber in to rip up the floor and change the pipe down to the main.

My uncle did oddly sized window screens to keep out mosquitos in my apartment (necessary-ish because wife is allergic). Yards of screen+flashing+nails. Doing it professionally would be very expensive, due to size and not-setup-for-screens windowframes.

Also, my dairy farmer father had a cow wheel built for fixing displaced abomasum (torqued intestine, fixed by rolling the cow over). Made of pipe and flat bar. Dairy farms generally have a lot of this, enough so to have a professional handyman on staff.

my best so far is rather than paying the $800 quote to repair our water heater i took it apart, replaced the thermocoupler, and re-lit the pilot, at a cost of about $10. even more worth it though spiritually to discover that water heaters are just pots of water on top of a stove

And the thermocouple is 70% the problem when your water heater isn't working
