A good idea for Halloween party or simply pulling one’s leg

Some people like to apply homemade fixes and jury rig things because they are too lazy or don’t have the money.  These pictures focus on the sad white trash of the world that are proud repairmen.

These men have built their own rocket, and it actually flew to explore outer space. Surely, much money and resources have been spent on this project. A special camera was placed on board. The rocket launch was successful, and its flight has exceeded all expectations.

Check out this nifty engineering idea that will have you wondering how people come up with such things. They sure are handy when it comes to repairing and improving gadgets.

Apparently, the Chinese like not only to build mini submarines, but flying machines as well. This Chinese Farmer came up with this seven engine flying machine. I don’t know if it will ever fly, but it sure is interesting looking.

Some car owners convinced that their car doesn’t really reflect their personality unless it has a unique shift knob. These are some of the most unique and creative shift knobs that you will ever see.

Have a look at Dan Reeve’s homemade RV-7A airplane. He built it over nine years in his basement. He had to completely demolish his basement to get the airplane out.

British adventurer Anthony Smith, 85, and another senior citizen crew have sailed their miniature raft that was made out of pipes that were tied together and named the An-Tiki, some 3,000 miles across the Atlantic from the Canary Islands in Portugal to St. Martin in the Caribbean. This adventure took the men three years.

This is a homemade telecaster guitar that is awesome. It is absolutely beautiful, very shiny, and autographed. If it sounds anywhere near as good as it looks the guy who built it has a real winner in his hands.

These are the instructions on how to make a homemade flamethrower. All you need to do is visit the local Home Depot and pick up some pipe and some fittings, add some denatured alcohol and you’re ready to go.

Crafting requires a certain amount of dedication and persistence and the guy in the Tatara Project had more than enough of both to pull off a very tough project. He set out to make blades out of homemade steel and the result is simply outstanding. He started off by building and running a tatara-like smelter where he consolidated five pounds of steel. He then processed the bloom and compacted it forming a bar of steel. He sorted the steel using the spark test and a flywheel press to flatten some of the chunks. He then manipulated the carbon content of the steel to create different quality bars of steel. He finished up by forge-welding and folding the different steel bars to create a billet which he forged into a sunobe and then into a blade. The final step in this tedious project was polishing the blades. The impressive final product will blow your mind.

These are instructions on how to make a heart shaped boiled egg. It is really very easy and the end result really is heart shaped.

This is a do it yourself flash drive that is incorporated into an old floppy disc. With a little ingenuity and these instructions you too can make your own small storage device. The device is cleverly housed in a floppy disc and combines modern technology and nostalgia ;)

This is Yang Youde, a farmer who lives on the outskirts of Wuhan city. Since February 2010, he was attacked by several eviction teams as he rejected a sum of $19,030 for his land. Property developers, who want to build department buildings on his land, didn’t want to pay him the sum he asked which is five times more than what they offered.

After eviction teams tried to eject him from his house, he built a canon from a wheelbarrow and pipes. He makes ammunition from locally sold fireworks. The rockets can reach over 100 metres, and explode with a deafening bang. Little is known if anyone was injured til now.

In May he held off 100 people by firing from a makeshift watchtower.

Way to go man!

Most of us have felt the need to use our inventive skills at one time or another. However, these photos represent the times when we should have simply called a professional. They are some examples of when things should not be homemade. However, they are funny.
