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.
ON THE HEAD, NOT THE FINGER!
It would seem that there is nothing easier, than to hammer in a nail. This can make any boy, not to mention women. Why is it even the men but this seemingly simple operation sometimes does not go smoothly: the nail is hammered badly and suddenly bent; or the hammer blow falls not on the nail head, and a finger!
It turns out that this common and seemingly simple process has its rules and peculiarities, which cannot be ignored.

MELTING FURNACE
The furnace is designed for metals with suitable melting temperature in a volume of 10 cm3. It is an electrical transformer, the secondary winding ends of which are closed with a conductive vessel in which melting occurs. Oven can be used for artistic casting, in jewelry, for casting billets, alloys.
WHILE THERE ARE VINTAGE WATCHES…
In other houses they are — big old clock in the wardrobe of polished red wood, with pendulum and two big shiny weights on chains. In those hours, something mysterious is through them as if time itself speaks to us about the past and about the present and about the future…
About the clock with the pendulum I dreamed a long time ago, but the legacy of second cousins grandmothers, they somehow did not get, and the Commission they asked for the money, which could buy quite a decent car such as the VAZ.
