Upcycling a Broken Band Saw Blade 04 12 2026

 Could a broken band saw blade be used to fix and replace the broken off tines of a plastic rake?

Whereby you cut a section of the bandsaw blade off, perhaps 8".  Bend the end of it to 2.5" 

Drill two holes in it.  And rivet it to the place on your plastic rake where a tine is broken off?

I think so.

Negative.  If you hang your rake up in the garage by the lower end of it and it were to fall on you as you knocked something that blade piece might cut you, because it has teeth.

But there are metal rakes.  But the tines off them don't have teeth on the side.  Sure the teeth could be filed off.

Just thinking out loud.

There was a movie that I would say is about illegitimacy, whereby the one word advice is plastics.

What an awful word.
