35 Projects That Had A Great Idea And Absolutely Terrible Execution
“I could make that” is a dangerous thing to say when you have access to power tools and nobody around to tell you it’s not the greatest idea. I’ve watched enough home improvement videos to know the basic steps. Unfortunately, the basic steps usually skip over the part where you need to be good at something.
That’s what makes these projects so frustrating. I like the vision, but I just wish someone with a little more experience had been involved.
These pictures from Reddit’s Good Taste But Awful Execution community capture that gap between a promising concept and a finished product you have to explain to guests. There’s creativity here. Whether everything is level is a separate conversation.
