What can you make by recycling and repurposing some old, previously used materials?
We want to see it!
Projects must incorporate some kind of used materials - take that old used thing, and turn it into something new and different!
E-waste is a huge problem. What can you make using old electronics and other salvageable electronic materials? We have a special judges prize for our favorite Instructable that incorporates or is related to reusing e-waste.
Be smart and be safe; note that potentially deadly projects (like Lichtenberg/fractal wood burning machines) will not be allowed to be published or submitted to this contest.
