#PhotoOfTheDay is something different - one of my tidier blacksmithing creations, a table knife that started off as a piece of a very rusty spring or something, that I found on the side of a road. (fedia.io)

A hand-forged table knife, held by a hand. The blade has been ground, sharpened and given a high polish.

@galaxia@lemmy.zip Definitely not all of them, but many. Giving a piece of trash a new life is weirdly satisfying.... One of my regular things is making old railroad spikes into heavy-duty bottle openers.

That is a great idea! I am a cosplayer and try to recycle stuff into props sometimes, but I don't think I've completely turned something around into such a new thing. Usually it's upcycling clothes or gluing things together lol.

@galaxia@lemmy.zip There are great opportunities for re-use/re-cycle/etc. in life. I've made use of some in props/cosplay stuff before. It's usually easier when you're creating something from scratch, rather than trying to duplicate an existing screen-used item for example. That's been my experience, anyway... Like ages ago I made up a scifi hand grenade and it was mostly constructed from a broken, modified toy. :)
