When you decide to make your kitchen a more modern, comfortable and spacious, make sure that it had everything you might need in the economy. In this post we will introduce you to the principle of manning the kitchen in a variety of subjects, which occupy a minimum of space.
DIY
A SIMPLE BUT SECURE LOCK
Now many sets of metal doors. But they have a vulnerability — the castle! The neighbor apparently, from hooligan promptings, it twice was severely damaged, Natalka into the bore of the nails, matches. Unable to open, had to drill out the lock. I decided to make a simple mechanical combination lock, which would be difficult to damage. The lock on the outside looks like a smooth door visible only head-knobs, which are easy to rotate, but not pressed, do not move anywhere. Form they are spherical, the surface is smooth with nothing to pick up.
THE CORNER OF THE CALIPER
It turns out that the caliper can be removed not only linear, but also angular dimensions, for example, the amount of taper or slope of different parts. To obtain such a tool, improving, for example, is known to many caliper type SHC-1 (“revolver”) with a probe of the depth gauge. The limit of its linear measurements is 130mm, which will fully satisfy the business needs of Amateur Craftsmen.
THE SECRETS OF WELDING
SEALANT? PREPARE YOURSELF
In practice household has long been used sealing paste, called “Mendeleev putty”: it is usually sealed joints frame and the glass walls of aquariums. This sealant around the plastic at a temperature above +45°C and after the solidification crack. And although it is diluted many organic solvents, softening him better not by them but by heating.
FOLDABLE, WALL
From garden benches from weathering are more likely to suffer seat: on the horizontal plane accumulated snow caps, russiausa in the thaw and rains have had a devastating effect. The painting with oil paints, of course, helps, but does not save. However, it is possible to make this seat as durable as back. How to do it, suggests to readers of the Hungarian magazine “Enermech-Ter”.
A JIG SAW, BUT A LARGE
Though the proverb States that the red hut not angles, but the frame would remain just a frame, if the house is not decorated wooden lace Welt (sawn) patterns in the boards window casings, shutters, eaves. To revive this Russian national tradition is now trying not only woodworking workshops, cooperatives or factories, but also individual developers — if they erect a country house, cottage or garden house. A good helper in this laborious work can be a simple machine is a mechanical jigsaw. As actuator to match even the motor from a sewing machine.
THE HOUSE OF TARA
I am a regular reader of your magazine for over 25 years. In response to your appeal to subscribers to be not only readers, but also active authors, I decided to share an interesting technology on which built their house: in wall construction is widely used bottle plastic container. I think anything like this over the years, the press was not published. However, I remember about 15 years ago in one of the magazines published an article about the craftsman who built the house out of an empty glass, but it’s kind of isolated cases. My experience is more accessible and can be useful to many.
COUNTRY, PORTABLE
With the approach of the summer season this bed is disassembled and can be transported to your countryside area even on the train or commuter bus: its components are easily disassembled and reassembled. The bed consists of two backrest head and foot, two sidewalls, two control panels and two longitudinal legs percolatin, which relies on composite podmatrasnye shield. All of them are interconnected screw furniture ties, and this explains the easy disassembly and Assembly of the bed.
FINISH VENEER
Furniture manufacturer of plain (uncoated ahah!), the DSP completes its finish. Although this is a simple, but important step, which largely determines the appearance of the finished product. For finishing can be used adhesive tape, textured paper, cloth (linen, cotton) and veneer. The veneer self-adhesive film the most simple. The workpiece is cleaned from dust. Cut a strip of “adhesive” with margins, 5-7 mm; it remove the protective paper and film is superimposed on the detail and smoothed to remove air with a rag or a rubber roller.
