I'm forever holding on to old hinges, screws, castors, and the like,
just in case I ever to build/fix something. Almost never happens, though, as I am a near perfect combination of good intentions, cack-handedness, and laziness.

The one time I did anything useful with the junk in the garage, I took a load of old deck joists and made them into a frame for a bench, fitted into an alcove in the kitchen. Add a little MDF, the bench had a seat and a storage shelf underneath. Very useful, and quite an attractive feature, once it was painted.

I may not have the skills necessary to survive the fall of ordered society, but at least I'll have somewhere to sit down.
