YT: So you want to be a superhero, do you? In this video you'll see how to up-cycle a junk table-saw blade, into a real life batarang.

I was amazed and impressed, that with a simple jigsaw, nearly any reasonable shape could be cut from an old saw blade. My first thought was to make a "batarang".
Of course it takes a lot of time and patience to make the rounded cuts, and while practicing, I went through more jigsaw blades than I should have, but this was one of my first projects playing with the art of cutting metal, and has opened a whole new world of possibilities.

ChaosEnginesays...By happy coincidence, I replace my circular saw blade just the other day.
Must try this...
oritteroposays...You might want to check whether they count as prohibited weapons in Kiwiland, they certainly do over here on the West Island... and I know you can't list them on trademe.

ChaosEnginesays...I have a friend who's just become a cop. I will throw one at him and see if he arrests me. It will help him test his stab proof vest

Trancecoachsays...And here, I thought batarangs were supposed to come back to you.
oritteroposays...!!!
You know, in some places less civilised than Kiwiland, that sort of thing can end really badly... let us know how your court case goes though.

siftbotsays...Moving this video to mintbbb's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
