This tutorial will teach you how to clone any item (in real life).
Step 1: Find an axe.
Step 2: Replace the head of the axe (note that, though you replaced the head of the axe, the axe is still the same axe).
Step 3: Replace the handle of the axe (note that, though you replaced the handle, the axe is still the same axe).
Step 4: Take the original head and attach it to the original handle.
Congratulations! You just cloned an object and created a paradox!

Beautiful paradox. This'll keep me awake for around 3 weeks. The closest I've seen was the one about 2 dead boys getting into a fight, which was a 2 weeker.
But what about the Japanese view that it is not, in fact, a paradox? Wait a minute, that view is also a sort of paradox, so I have just created a confusing paradox in a confusing paradox, which is a paradox in itself.
This just turned into a 6 weeker.

If you replace the head of an old axe, it's still the same axe, is it not? Now, what if you replace the handle of that axe? It's still the same axe, right? Now just use the items that were replaced to build a new [old version] of that item, and the item shall be cloned.

The Ship of Theseus, also known as Theseus' paradox, or various variants, notably grandfather's axe and (in the UK) Trigger's Broom is a paradox that raises the question of whether an object which has had all its component parts replaced remains fundamentally the same object.

Wow, thats interesting. However, I think that the old object becomes different when it does not contain anything from the old object, thus rendering your paradox void.

Hmm... Now let's see if I can clone my lamp....

There are 2 roads, one going to Manchester, one going to Liverpool. You don't know which road is which and you want to go to Manchester.
At the intersection there are two people going to both places. One of them lies, one of them tells the truth. You're only allowed to ask one question to each and it has to be the same question. How do you get to Manchester?

Use a map!
Actually, that's not the answer you have to ask a question to both of them.

I don't know about the cheap axes you people buy but my axes are sturdy and don't come apart so easily (and if they do, putting them back together is hardly an option)

You ask "Which way to Manchester, and what color is the sky there?"
