As an Amateur I sometimes need a tool that is rarely or on sale, or is not satisfied by construction, (and today — and for the price). So we have to invent and produce itself, looking for possible easy solutions. I would like to share with readers his versions of such popular devices as the machine (frame) for sawing metal.
The old masters of carpentry there is a very handy versatile tool, which is to remind home to craftsmen working with wood. The device is called Vama. It is an indispensable tool when you need to glue the frame to make a panel of boards, assemble with glue so-called furniture of boards.
Usually machines, mechanisms and assemblies during installation is fixed to the mounting surface or Foundation of several bolts. The centers of the bolt holes, usually marked with templates, taken from the base mounted units. Work sin a long, time-consuming, requiring the involvement of specialists of high qualification. However, to avoid markup errors that reduce the reliability of fastening is not always possible.
I was always surprised how passionate people are literally “cuts out” even in their small apartments place under house workshop while compactly arranging the equipments and tools efficiently using the available space. His creative area in the acquired country house I arranged in the wall between the Windows. Initially hoped to use it as temporary. Therefore, as the basis for it were made simple homemade rack, assembled mainly from only one planed boards with a thickness of 10 mm and a width of 120 mm.
There was a time when to the store to buy any device, especially metal cutting machine tools was difficult. And was expensive, and a run of outlets had. Today to buy such a product just just pay. But the homebrew is still not translated, offering a new design made based on their capabilities. With the technical creativity of Feodor Nikitovich, Kuhtenko our readers are already familiar (see “M-K” N° 6 – 2012). This time we offer the more complex its design – drilling machine, constructed primarily from what the designer had on hand, though without turning and milling operations has not done.
In cramped urban apartments to find the place bulky bench is almost impossible. Well, my folded takes up very little space. In addition, it is light enough to carry in the summer the garden area and continue to work on the air. The workbench is made of two separate parts: removable bench Board and folding table base.
Repair of apartments are usually not restricted to pure cosmetics. Frequently time some alterations, additional equipment: build utility cabinets, replacement of cornices, hanging shelves, mirrors, hangers. And this inevitably confronts us with the eternal problem: how it is fastened to the walls? Everyone has experienced domogala my favorite techniques: someone drilling holes with a drill with pobeditovym a drill, others prefer carbide punch and hammer. Well, if you need to attach something to a thin wall – for example, the current incabin boxes or cupboards? Industry in this case offers nothing to the house master. For ordinary walls, you often need something more reliable than sagaydaka over time, the wooden plug or plastic plug.
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.
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.
