YOU NEED A CHAIR! CHOOSE!

YOU NEED A CHAIR! CHOOSE!In the mail “Club house masters” are sometimes most controversial letter. Some readers, for example, write that they expect from the magazine, in particular the sections of “All for summer” and “Furniture with his own hands”, detailed descriptions of the construction of garden houses, diagrams and drawings DPJ furniture manufacturer, described what is called “to the last screw”.

ARCH TO ARC – READY GREENHOUSE

ARCH TO ARC - THE FINISHED CONSERVATORYArched design with all other conditions being equal, will always be stronger, safer and cheaper structures of other types — especially when the arc itself consists of rods, working only on tension and compression. At the time, it was appreciated by the famous mechanic Kulibin, who created a scale model of the arch bridge, which was supposed to connect the banks of the Neva. The original arch design, suitable for the creation of greenhouses, conservatories, sheds, garages and other structures, have managed to create a reader of our magazine from Novgorod S. Y. Makurin. The module of such a set represents a Central design consisting of 240 wooden rods (rails) with cross-section 20×50 mm and a length of from 0.5 to 1 meter (volume of the material is 0.2 cubic meters). The module area is 15 square meters. Docking these modules, you can get the arch structures of any size and different configuration.

NO HAMMER AND DOLLY

WITHOUT HAMMER AND DOLLYIn the practice of homebrew somehow less common device is a bending machine. I don’t think this is due to the rarity can be accomplished with it operations, rather — the lack of information about how to do it. For example, I haven’t seen in magazines or technical literature his descriptions. But this simple tool is very useful: it allows even unskilled wizard efficiently curving blanks from sheet material. This ensures the absence of deformation at the bent portion of the sheet, making it impossible to achieve using the traditional mallet and mandrel. Experienced in the production of our NII bending machine proved to be indispensable in the manufacture of chassis of radio equipment, various housings, casings and connection sheets in the fold.

AND CARPET AND LINOLEUM

AND LINOLEUM AND CARPETWithout a doubt, in any home the king of the floor — parquet. Today, however, such coverage for the majority — a problem. More accessible, of course, linoleum. It also has its advantages: cheap, diverse in color and pattern (there are even “under the flooring”), easy to clean. And lay it on their own. Put here the pictures tell you how to do it. You should only add two recommendations. Do not rush immediately to cut the purchased roll. First give him some fresh air on the balcony, and then roll in the room and let him rest up, to straighten. And again, I advise you to seal the cloth under the baseboards to keep at least a small amount of material — like fabrics after washing the linoleum over time, “sit”, shrinks.
