Fixing and building things yourself has a certain appeal, where you can be more than proud of your own hard work. Certain things, however, are either best left to professionals, or not attempted at all. After all, there is a reason people call the plumber to deal with the plumbing.
But these few individuals are different, they have something to prove to the world, and by all that is holy they will prove it. What that is, is unclear, but at least they seem excited to showcase their work over Reddit. Sit back and behold the most questionable creations of blue collar nerds.
Clearing the Clog
A Reddit user did an elaborate tool to clear the toilet clog. The results are, well, what you might expect.
Glowing Clock
While an interesting build, this clock depends on UV light to be readable at night. And during the day, it is barely visible.
An Elaborate Pouring of Whiskey
After building this, you can now enjoy your whiskey with the slight flavor of teflon and brass shavings. Or, you know, you could just serve from the bottle.
Quick Fix
Fixing something quick tends to be better than waiting for the ideal circumstance, and quick tends to mean use whatever is available. In this case, bottlecaps.
Flintstone-Style Car
Who needs horsepower when you have manpower? You can get pretty far when three friends get together to move a single car. Nevermind that they go slower than walking speed.
Self-Closing Doors
All you need to keep your privacy are some nail clippers, a water bottle, and not minding getting hit by said bottle each time you enter the room.
Compost-Ready Flower Pot
Once you save enough to replace your old toilet, what do you do with the old one? Well, you put it outside with some flowers, of course. Bonus points for putting it in the front yard.
Door Fix
An ideal solution here would be to put a sliding door, but we don’t have time for that. Get a jigsaw and just cut a little hole, and viola! You can now access the toilet.
Wooden Microwave
All kinds of sacrifices are made in the name of aesthetics. In this case, both the vents and the glass had to be painted over for the true vision of a wooden microwave to be achieved.
Bookshelf Illumination
This looks fine while closed and on the shelf, but this is a fire hazard waiting to happen. Even if the light bulb is led, the power source will heat up the paper in no time.
Multitool Flintlock
This isn’t an olden times gun, this is a multitool disguised as a flintlock. It has a pen, a screwdriver tip, and a level even though it has no straight edges.
Firepit on Wheels
This repurposed lawnmower was turned into a movable firepit, letting you be warmed anywhere you go. Just be mindful of the melted wheels.
Homemade Mobility Aid
Why get an expensive walker when you can make one on your own? Just grab a broken piece of furniture, some rags, and you’ll be set for life.
Faucet Fixing
It’s unclear what the intended result was here. Apparently, not to fix the faucet, but to prevent it from spilling water altogether.
Vinyl Hat
Need a hat to keep you cooled on summer days? Make one with vinyl! Although the fact that vinyl is black might heat you up more than the fan can cool you down.
Manpower Dishwasher
If all a dishwasher does is throw water and detergent to the dishes, why can’t we do it the analog way? There is really nothing you can’t achieve with a bicycle and some dreams.
Car Mailbox
Tired of your mail to be in a fence like a normal person? Have a spare car for some reason? Combine the two into the car mailbox, and drive your letters home.
