SOFA-TRANSFORMER

SOFA CONVERTIBLEIn the cramped conditions of the home, whether in a small apartment or in the country, the offered sofa is convenient because during the day he takes up very little space, and in the evening can turn into a normal comfortable bed.

And these are “rarities”, playing only the role of coupling, but unreliable, as the water through the hole in the head stem still leaks.

DURABLE CENTER

SUSTAINABLE CENTRE

Woodworking lathes are designed to teach carpentry students in schools, universities and other educational institutions, and the machines home handymen often equipped with a tailstock with a non-rotating center. Maintaining them the end of the workpiece when the work is accompanied by the burning of wood in the zone of contact with the metal. The result is a vibration (especially in turning of long parts), which drastically reduces the quality of their treatment, and sometimes can lead to injury if the blank POPs out of the center.

Responding to the call of the editors to be not only a reader but also an author, I want to share my little experience performing turning operations on a tree without a special lathe. To do this, at the right time are available to me elektrotochilo and grip, adding to them two auxiliary elements: the Trident and the back area with a small thrust bearing (they then shall say more about). Bench grinder with a Trident causes a wooden block into rotation and vise play the role of the tailstock.

STEEL “HEATER”

STEEL This stove I installed in the bath at their summer cottage. For ten years I use it and is very happy. The furnace body of metal, is welded from a steel sheet with a thickness of 5 mm. From the same sheet made and all other elements of the heating device in contact with the fire. About the same thickness and have the flame tube. The remaining flat parts from steel sheet of thickness 2 mm. Metal variant of the furnace design is selected for several reasons: first, for such stoves do not require massive foundations; second, it can be manufactured in a different, more adapted place and then transported and mounted in the bath; third, it quickly heats the room that country bathhouse is highly desirable.
