Use of 'made of' or 'made from' or 'made out of'

Hello Red5

Yes thanks. I am honoured and hope to meet the expectations.

I have another query pertaing to the previous one. Is 'made out of' ever used at all, if 'yes' then in what contexts? Thanks in advance.

Is "made out of" ever used at all? It certainly is. The substance that a thing is built with is what it is made out of.

Sometimes people make mountains out of molehills. Sometimes molehills get made out of mountains.
