How to unlock the Basic Inventor achievement in BioShock - Definitive Guide
During the game, you will collect all kinds of junk from dead enemies which will seem to be of no use to you at first.
When you encounter your first U-Vent machine (the first available one is in Arcadia), simply trade some of your junk items to make a useful item and the achievement will unlock.

This could even be called a "Main Storyline" achievement as there is no way you can beat the game without getting this achievement. Reason being, that you are forced to create the Lazarus Vector as part of the story.
Since you aren't wasting any precious junk-items (i.e., that you'll need for the other "U-Invent" achievements) by making this item, I suggest that you wait until that part of the story-line before popping this easy achievement.

Once you are able to use the "U-Invent" stations, use the items you have collected off dead enemies to invent something. Doesn't matter what, and you do not have to pick the item up once it falls out of the machine.

The first opportunity to get this achievement is in Arcadia.
