[Amps] Workshop Danger

>many just cant seem to throw a worn out tool away.<

Depends on the tool. An old worn file grinds down real well to make a scraper. Broken drills and small end mills and taps grind down well to make the tool bits for a boring bar or even fly cutter bits. A broken end mill or slot drill can be ground down to make a D bit - while an old file can also be ground to make a spade bit. Old hacksaw blades are good for packing. A broken end mill or drill can even with suitable annealing be ground to make a suitable fly cutter tool to cut an involute gear tooth form - after re-hardening. 

Waste not, want not!
