You cold reach similar outcomes, but with a much higher standard of attention to detail. You could have attached a very inexpensive piece of diamond plate to the STUD and I'm sure there are better ways to make your arm more comfortable.

"Jury rig, while similar sounding, has a slightly different meaning, emphasizing the temporary nature of the solution and can imply an ingenious solution done with materials at hand. Jerry-built, on the other hand, is often used for a permanent, but poorly built, construction and has no positive connotation."
