I love Rex Krueger's videos, and I was thinking about his planing stop while cleaning up in the shop when i happened upon my collection of 'dull and/or burnt reciprocating tool blades that I won't throw away because who knows' and it occured to me that these are the same shape, and rough size as a screwdown planing stop, while conveniently fitting over a dog, or using the existing holes to screw it down.

Grab a torch and heat them up for cutting foam.

Cut them into lockpicking tools.

Use a grinder to remove all sharp edges and then rivet them slightly overlapping to leather straps and then that leather strapping to heavy canvas. Now you have a set of wasteland armor.

Weld them into a vase or other container shape.

All valid uses. Or you could even use them as a plane stop on your workbench! ;)
