DIY
AND THE TANK, AND DECORATION
There is no need to prove how important it is to have in the garden water supplies that happen with irrigation system and flower beds with lawns for the week of the July heat will turn to hay. So when my old steel tank had rusted and sprung a leak, there was an urgent need to find a replacement.
The first thing that came to mind to order the same, and then dye it and braid wild grapes, to fit into the landscape. But tank black steel is not only unsightly, it is also impractical: and roads, and rust. It is good to make the tank from aluminum or stainless steel, but the price!!! But to use such a tank may have only one season: winter comes “away” and “privatize” your treasure for scrap.
TRIPOD FOR PETS
Many of those who contain animals in the house or apartment, the familiar pattern when a dog or a cat, licking remains of food from the bowl, rides on the floor of the emptied vessel, creating an annoying noise. The situation is even worse when the animal upsets filled the bowl. But to avoid such problems is not difficult — it is necessary for the bowl to stand in the form of andirons. In the village house where there was a Russian stove (and in what house it was not?), among their cooking utensils (tagankov) was kept a few and different “caliber.”
MIDDLE BOMBER YAK-2
THE MIDDLE BOMBER, THE YAK-2. Scale model 1:33.
In February 1939 at the Moscow Central airfield Frunze has a nice twin-engined monoplane dvuhkilevoe. Experienced eye it was clear that the aircraft can show very high performance. Even without knowing the brand of the machine, no doubt in the fact that it is designed in OKB A. S. Yakovlev is a young but quite famous aircraft designer. Well decorated, carefully painted and polished to a Shine, his machine carried on the rudders branded white and red stripes.
TO BE FRAME PERFECT
Any frame — big or small — design “strict”: makes serious demands on the butto-ness of angles and their careful execution and connection. To simplify the manufacture and to get a quality frame with less effort, the French magazine “System D” offers two simple and convenient devices, which you can do yourself: a tablet for cutting sticks or baguette and a press for bonding of the workpieces.
A BLOCK FOLDER OF CLIPPINGS
Sooner or later, in the drawers of your Desk, accumulates such a quantity of clippings from Newspapers, magazines, old brochures, notes that it is necessary to decide what to do with them next. There is of course, a radical method – to give it all back in and then put on the bookshelf. But this may not everywhere and not all. There are other, more simple variant: to lay down the clippings in folders with strap and remove the closed part of the Cabinet. Closed because these folders in the apartment don’t look very nice. But by putting them there, you lose these materials, which is not always desirable.
BENCH TAVERN
Usually a small supply of potatoes is in the house constantly. Keep it in the cold (which is a large part of the year) in the kitchen: in bag, box or bucket. But such containers, except that is already scarce in our kitchens right now, to put it mildly, the interior is not decorated. I for storing potatoes made a neat voluminous stool with padded seat, which can fit up to three buckets of root crops. Bench simple, and made it a common tool, which is in the building each owner. Materials is also one of those that always have on hand.
THE WALL-SHELF
Inhabiting your country house — be it a small garden or a well-built cottage — many trucks bringing in the furniture that has served its purpose in a city apartment. And most of all from this whole situation turns out patchy, cumbersome and is inconsistent with the view of the place of rest. Meanwhile, it is very easy to furnish the interior of the country easy to produce and easy to use items that are able to make themselves, gradually complementing thus the original set, which in the end will be solved in the same style.
WITH THE “GOOSE” IS NOT DRIPPING
In domestic faucets-bathtub faucets have a swivel pipe (“goose”) as a used seal rubber ring. Over time, it is embedded abrasive particles contained in the polluted water, and at every turn the “goose” gradually grind off the walls of the grooves, weakened by the hood when expanding. As a result, the tube begins to “become loose” mounting of the mixer and the water leak. Further use of the tube breaks at the annular groove under the ring and requires replacement. But do not rush to throw it away. If you wish, you can extend its service life and even to improve the operational properties of tap mixer by changing the method of compaction and the water supply to the bathtub and sink. It is enough to perform a number of simple maintenance operations.
THE GRIP ON THE LEASH
Bench drilling machines (such as NA-10, NA-12), as a rule, is at any station of young technicians in every school workshop. There are some in our school (I work as a teacher). And once a pupil of the 6th class when drilling holes in small parts dropped it in a vise. Began to turn them over to get the detail, didn’t hold, and the grip fell to the floor. Only by sheer luck that this incident was closed with a foot injury, although the consequences for the child could be much more serious. I think that such incidents are not uncommon: in school workshops and at the premises of technical circles often seen on the floor next to astelinastelin press dents from the clutches of the fallen.
