Sure we’ve all in that moment of unclarity felt like we could handle the problem ourselves using our MacGyver like skills but there are certain instances where it’s just better to lay down the money and call in the professional. Here are some examples of when things should not be “home-made”.
Circular Saw
Toilets
Hot Tubs
Waterslides
Snowplows
Scaffolding
Razors
Playground Equipment
Motorcycle Headlights
Golf Clubs
Refrigerators
Flamethrowers
Electrical Poles
Bicycle Child Seats
Central Heating

Automobile Aerodynamics
Boats

That last item is a switch, not a “circuit breaker” (by which is generally meant “automatic circuit breaker”, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker )
A helicopter – http://www.afrigadget.com/2010/03/28/a-homemade-helicopter-from-somaliland/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Afrigadget+%28AfriGadget%29
That boat is actually pretty awesome. I think I might do that this summer.
Um… the flamethrower is rad.
the name of this list should be changed to “20 things that should be homemade” because over 50% of those pictures were easily badass, i find it hard to believe that the author or any of the readers wouldn’t want to test out that water slide.
Seriously…why shouldn’t these items be home made? Nearly EVERYTHING people needed used to be homemade, until people forgot how to make things, now depend on WalMart for every last thing they need and want. Once you remove the joke and shopped items, this is actually a list of rather brilliant creations by people who have not become slaves to our ” throw it out and buy a new one” society. The pool heater and water slide are effing awesome.
Tell me that these are not really serious stuff… please!
Sometimes creativity just leads you to another level.., a dangerous level that is.
Stay safe people!
Oh. My. God. What a hoot. American ingenuity needs some restraints.
I don’t want to sound like a queer or nothin’, but I think Unicorns are KICKASS!!
