Made by Destruction
Made By Destruction is the ultimate makeover show where everyday objects are rescued from the trash and recreated into something entirely new. From discarded skateboards, abandoned cars, and old office equipment that are salvaged and shredded, melted, and chopped - then repurposed into things that are useful, beautiful, and valuable.
