We Call This One the "suburban Pirate Ship"

Dinghies are great and allow someone without a massive disposable income to sail open waters and enjoy the freedom of being on the water. Unfortunately, dingies do not create the same feeling as a massive pirate ship. The owner of this dinghy felt the same way and decided to renovate their small boat and turn it into a pirate ship. Now they can sail the open seas as a pirate.

You do not need to lie to us. You are a bit jealous because who would not want to be a pirate and set sail on their own pirate ship?

Wires Can Also Fix Cheese Slicers

Sometimes the best type of person you can have in the house is someone who knows how to fix something when it breaks. When this old cheese slicer gave its final breath of life, there was someone with a wire and cutters who could fix it right up for them. This refurbished cheese slicer ended up working better than the original and has lasted long after the person who fixed it passed on.

Sometimes all you need is for something to be made right once, and it will last a lifetime. This cheese slicer might become a family heirloom; who knows?

After One Blade Broke, They Intentionally Took off More to Make the Fan Balanced

Ever thought that when something breaks, you should break it some more? If you haven't, then you might just be missing the solution to your problem. When this person's fan had pieces fall off, he just broke off a few more, and the fan was able to work again without any skipping or other issues. Is there a moral lesson here? If there is, then we guess the lesson is to break things.

Actually, though, this person was able to save themselves time and money by breaking off a few more bits and rebalancing their fan. Hopefully, it works as well as it did before.

Dinghy + RV = Homemade Yacht

Dingies and other small boats are great for making the ability to sail the open waters accessible to a vast majority of the population. However, what happens when you wish to upgrade your small boat to a yacht but are still not a millionaire? The solution is rather simple. You just drive your RV onto the small boat like this guy. All of a sudden, you now have a middle-class yacht.

We aren't exactly sure how this small boat can support the weight of the RV and not sink, but we will not be asking any questions.

You See a Broken TV, They See a New Table

Just because something doesn't work or has served its purpose doesn't mean that it can't be re-utilized. Also, it is environmentally friendly to reuse old things. Take this person as an example. They used to have one of those massive cubed-shaped TVs, and after it had stopped working or they had upgraded to a newer model, they just repurposed the television as a dining room table. To be honest, it kinda works.

All we can imagine while looking at this photograph is that someone will put something down a bit too hard one day and discover a broken television under that tablecloth.
