Trash made into treasure

I might not go quite that far, but one of my favorite projects is to take something that would otherwise go unused and might end up in a landfill or giving someone tetanus through the sole of their foot and make something useful.  This is just one example of what I have done along those lines.  This S-hook is made from a piece of discarded re-bar post.  I really like the funky texture that you can see on here.
