Carver Saw Kitchen Utensil to Handy Tool

摘要

I seem to have inherited a specific gene which induces me to collect and hoard mechanical items in the belief that they will come in use 'sometime later'. Some of my DNA must descend from the Wombles, mythical creatures who inhabited Wimbledon Common and filled their burrows with items discarded by humans. Certainly my burrow has become stuffed to the point that something had to be done to 'Make Good Use of Bad Rubbish', as the Wombles would say. As an example, this article shows how a light, powered hacksaw can easily be created from a disused electric carving knife (photo 1).
