Does anyone around here do anything interesting with old worn out strings? The farm boy in me always hates to throw away a potential gold mine of material. They can make good critter snares, but it turns out fur trapping is frowned on in the big city!
Old strings?

You can use them to file a nut slot, mend a fence, tie on a bumper, give a bad tattoo, or even kill a man. But be careful, they're also good for maybe putting an eye out.

I throw 'em away--but a couple of years ago, when my wife was still with Kaiser Permanente (she's since retired), she asked me if I had any old strings she could give to Maintenance--apparently they can use the plain ones to remove plaster residue from a wall when they move a picture. I didn't have any--since I've been using Elixirs I hardly change them anymore!

They have been used to remove windshields, too...and wound strings are always part of a survival kit...who knows when you'll need to take a big tree down!?!?
