Because I'm no good at modding could a bored modder create a mod that lets us use tools/misc items like shovels, hoes, pots, broken weapons, sticks/planks, candle stands, ect as weapons?
If there is already a mod that does this point me in the right direction, please.

There are a few forks and knives that can be used as weapons in the base game. They're in the purchasable house in Riften, I believe. Hearthfire also adds a few in the Falkreath house.
I'm going to take a look and see if I can do it with other items though. If not, I leave this to someone else.
Alternatively there's this... http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/9362
I did manage to make a broom into a weapon but whatever.
