Various tools necessary for working in the garden or during repairs in the room are quite expensive. In addition, the master evokes a desire to improve them. In fact, in sheds, on balconies, in the garage, a large number of all kinds of details accumulate, seeming unnecessary. From them you can make the necessary working equipment. In this article, we will consider what home-made tools and accessories are, and also what they can be made of.
Small parts
Masters, keen on woodcarving, can make for their work a small chisel from a regular knitting needle from an umbrella. It has a semicircular cross-section resembling a spoon. Her tip will need to be sharpened and a handle should be attached to the spoke. It, in turn, is made of polyethylene things, which are melted in a heated oven, placed in a tin form in a liquid state, and the end of the spoke is pressed into a hot mass.
Useful home-made tools and devices can be made from a conventional writing rod, for example, an oiler. To do this, removing the ball, insert the rod into the hole in the bottle from the lighter. Oil through the hose will be supplied slowly and portionwise.
Homemade garage tool
Often skilled craftsmen set up a workshop in the garage, because the balcony and the home pantry, due to the small area, only allow you to store the necessary tools, and that's not all. To work in the garage, you always need to have an extension cord at hand and store it in the same place. This device can be made independently. To do this, you need two plywood discs, which should be bolted together. Put the tubes on the bolts between the circles and fasten. A wire will be wound on them. The bolt heads must be recessed so that during rotation the extension handle does not touch them. On the other side of the coil, cut a hole the size of a cup for a socket, which you then place in it. Fasten the box to the disc with small screws. As a handle, you can use a wooden door handle.
Engine use
By making home-made tools and devices, you can use engines from failed vacuum cleaners and washing machines. For example, sophisticated equipment such as a lathe or grinder. To do this, fastenings and a shaft are welded to the engine, on which a circular saw, grinding wheels or other devices are mounted. For polishing, you can use an electric razor, mixer or small fan, attaching felt to the shaft. If you replace the blades with a drill, you get an electric drill. In the same way, a screwdriver can be made by replacing the shaft with a shaft from a screwdriver. The necessary home-made tools and accessories are obtained from plastic bottles. For example, glasses, hangers, funnels, scoops and other items.
Homemade garden tools
Most gardeners decorate their plots with annual flowers. It is beautiful and attractive, but during landing there are difficulties. Small seeds planted in a row are very thick, as they are not sown in portions. We have to thin out them repeatedly, which injures the root system. In this case, a mechanical seeder that is manually controlled will help. The device has a seed box, dispenser, wheels and a handle. Seeds from the body through the cutout fall into small holes located on the metering rod. When moving, the shaft scrolls, and the seeds fall in turn into the ground. The sequence is due to the fact that the recesses on the shaft are drilled uniformly at a certain distance from each other. By varying the diameter and pitch of the holes, you can sow seeds of various sizes. The brush located on the front wall of the housing controls the amount of seeds falling into the ground. Steel wheels are mounted on both sides of the spinning cylinder. Several cuts are made around the circumference of the disk, which will allow bending the steel, creating petals. This will help improve soil grip.
Foam cutting device
During the construction or repair of a house, a large amount of equipment is necessary, which is simply impossible to buy due to the volume of work, as well as lack of funds. I have to use homemade machines and tools. When insulating the walls of a building, you will need a device that helps cut polystyrene into even pieces. Buying cut material in sheets is unprofitable due to the many scraps that will have to be thrown out. Therefore, having acquired polystyrene cube, and making a machine, you can cut the insulation yourself. To do this, you need a small transformer with a power of 250 watts. You also need a nichrome spiral, taken from a hotplate and stretched into a thread. Spring to tighten the spiral, two hairpins and a countertop. The transformer will glow a nichrome thread, with which you can easily cut the foam. It should be noted that the cutting process cannot be stopped, since a red-hot spiral will melt the insulation in an unnecessary place. Work with this machine is necessary in a room with good ventilation.
