I'm guessing from woodworking to blacksmithing to herb gardening and 3D printing you all use some pretty sweet gear! If someone suddenly attacked you while you were do-it-yourselfing how would you defend yourself? Or, if you were planning on murdering someone how would you incorporate your hobby?

WILL AMOUNT TO NOTHING IN LIFE.



Right now I'm knitting something on a long circular needle, so I'd wrap the cable of the needle around their throat and jab the tips into their eyes. That doesn't sound like something a crazy person would say at all.

Metal lathe. I really don't need to fill in the details of what happens when a sleeve, pony tail, or ring get caught on the chuck or work piece.

That sounds like an accident, but how would you purposefully use it? Some sort of Rube Goldberg set up?

Kidnap and hold someone hostage for months until their hair is long enough for a ponytail then feed it to the lathe?

Gardening. I have a trowel, a watering can, and literal pansies. I'm going to have to be creative with this one.

Or maybe I can chuck my opuntia cactus at them. They'll spend their final hours covered in agony and many tiny invisible needles. I watch the scene from a distance amongst the pansies, as I sip from my glass of fresh-squeezed 100% organic self-grown juice blend. Delicious, AND nutritious.

before you ask, yes I did inform the DMV of my condition and medication, and I passed the medical and psychological evaluation when I got my license. I've passed them every time I have gone to renew my license.
I don't know, chisels, saws, axes, hammers... I'm pretty sure Hollywood has taken all the creativity out of those.

I suppose a #4 plane would be a rather nasty way to go, or a random orbit sander with 80 grit.

I think for plastic modelling, you could use your airbrush to paint over someones spinal cord to kill them ala 'Goldfinger.'

I'm a woodworker so literally every tool is lethal in some way. The least dangerous thing in my shop is a ruler which I would stab through your eye. Or my hand planes which will bash in your brains and scalp you at the same time. And you don't even need an imagination for what my saws can can do.

AIN'T NO ONE GONNA TAKE MY TOOLS FROM ME. NUH UH, NO SIR. THESE TOOLS THAT I PURCHASED WITH MY HARD EARNED DOLLARS OR BUILT WITH MY REMAINING ONE AND A HALF HANDS.

I CAN BARELY HEAR THE BELLS OF JUSTICE RINGING THROUGH MY ACUTE TINNITUS, BUT I KNOW THEY'RE TOLLING FOR YOU.

MY LUNGS MIGHT BE LIMITED BY SAWDUST-CAUSED HYPERSENSITIVITY PNEUMONITIS BUT I YEARN TO BREATHE FREE.

HANDS GNARLED WITH ARTHRITIS AND REPETITIVE STRAINS CAN STILL BEAT THE HAND TANNED DRUMSKINS OF LIBERTY.

EVEN WITH A CORNEA CLOUDED BY THE RUSTING SLIVER I PICKED UP A FEW MONTHS BACK CAN SEE THROUGH THIS PLOY.

Air chisel (could be any air tool really) to the skull. Or drop a car on top of them. Loosen the sector-shaft nut on the steering rack, causing catastrophic steering loss (eventually).

If we're talking job...well, death by steam is a pretty nasty way to go...

Friend to Fishes. Just keep swimming.
Well, there's the ole garrote and eye stab with the circular knitting needles. I'm sure you could do a lot of interesting damage with a sewing needle and thread, too.

Baking... I imagine taking a pyrex dish to the head would do it, and the resulting shards would also make effective slicing tools. That, or threaten them with carbs, maybe.

It's always carbs.

Wood working is basically just a number of maiming and dismemberment machines, so that's easy.

Guns are pretty much designed for that.

RC quads, I suppose a phantom quad filled with thermite and some sort of igniter crashing into their house would be kinda brutal.

With home brew you could go for the long game and have your target die a very happy alcoholic. Another option would be to brew a nice botulism/staph stout.
