Loggia, balcony — a kind of additional area of the apartment. However, it is not particularly large, but how efficiently we use these “extra” square meters?

Finally, to equip a place for carpentry and plumbing work. How to do it?
In apartments with paired window units no of vents: the role of narrow casement Windows.

In the winter and very uncomfortable: wide open — cold and slightly open in a narrow slit through the frosty wind. That is why often the top of sash major redesigns for ordinary window.
In the processing of metal surfaces and finishing of the joinery is quite often used grinding sandpaper. It is usually navertyvajut on the bar, but they sandpaper wears unevenly, and cleared material remains between it and the surface, preventing their contact. In addition, a significant portion of the abrasive generally remains unused and is discarded.
(UNIVERSAL MACHINE). Replacement of manual mechanical tools is of great importance not only in manufacturing, but in the home work of the designer-lover, embodies with wood and metal in their designs. Sometimes even the most simple fixture, primitive stanochki significantly speed up the work, facilitate it and to dramatically improve the quality of the product. That is why in recent years an increasing number of miniature machine tools for processing wood and metal, designed for hobbyists and tinkerers.
One who is engaged in sawing wood, is constantly faced with difficulties and inconveniences that arise when a seemingly simple process — the clip blade in the jigsaw. Assistance here will have a fixture, the basis of which are the lever, bearing and clamp. All items are made from metal strips with a thickness of 2 mm.

In your journal repeatedly describes the various designs of devices for removing pressed on the shaft bearings, bushings, pulleys. I propose another option — simple in construction and quite versatile. This puller has become my indispensable assistant: allows you to avoid damage to parts during disassembly, making the work easier.
Machine UK-4 is still popular among hobbyists and tinkerers. Over the years of its release, home craftsmen invented many devices to improve its performance and broadening the range of operations. Many of these upgrades were reported in the “M-K”. However, nothing was said about using his motor at full capacity. But it is quite enough to handle larger workpieces than the number specified in the passport of the machine. And the need for such a feature: in this we have repeatedly seen at work in our model aircraft club. Here and was made a fixture that allowed to increase the depth of milling parts using standard cutters b to 17 mm with their width up to 260 mm instead of 60.
