Look near, not far. Cleaning out your garage, if done with panache can be all Indiana Jones. Don't throw anything with an electrical plug away without first taking it apart. You either try to fix it or at least you see how it works. Put it back together, plug it in and see what happens.
Isn't that what adventure is? Doing something without knowing the outcome. (Remember Dave's Don'ts. 1/4/11) Some stuff is just plain ignorant. But putting a tool or home appliance back into to service when most hope had been lost, is a rip. Likewise, the "whoah daddy" moment just before an electrical fire and the realization that even with your best shot, that saw ain't never gonna work again.
Have fun, but keep a fire extinquisher handy.
