I decided to turn a pile of scrap materials into something useful, rather than have it all end up in a landfill.
The recycled materials used were:
1/2 HP Craftsman garage door opener motor
Various garage door hardware
Bicycle axle, sprocket, crank and chain
VCR head
Broken automotive strut tower brace
Various 2X4, and 1X lumber
Oriented strand board (OSB) scrap
Various nuts, bolts, lags, washers, screws, nails & angle brackets
Old spray paint
