When I was in India there were always little stalls with loads of bits and pieces that had been salvaged like this. Whilst I agree the whole idea is labour intensive, I see no reason why we can't do it for ourselves before scrapping the really useful parts. Self tapping screws, nuts and bolts, sheet metal, all expensive bits and pieces and salvageable form loads of otherwise useless objects.

The sculpture idea is also a good one if you are into that sort of thing and have the artistic ability.

Have a look at some of these sites

This week I made some joist hangers out of part of the old oven which prompted me to start this thread. I forget how much they'd have been to buy, but it was unnecessarily expensive for what they are, and they don't do the right size anyway.
