#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.

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

    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.

      @[email protected] 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. :)
