The journal “modelist-Konstruktor” I love since childhood. In Kazakhstan we have now it is not for sale, but I regularly read it in the library. 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.
Our workshop
COMPACT AND MOBILE
Balance small circular saw. After pruning trees in the garden goes into the waste a significant amount of branches of various thickness. Usually they go on the stove. Small branches are easily chopped with an axe, and the larger cut. Hand sawing — it is quite time consuming. To ease the gardening chores, I made a portable circular power saw. Quite light and compact. In addition, it balance, but more on that below.
THERMORESIN FROM THE SOLDERING IRON
Many of the materials the born chemicals using elevated temperatures, for example, various plastics and synthetics, more manageable when shaping or processing temperature than the tools traditionally used to working with metal or wood. That’s why for cutting, for example, foam plastic, foam rubber or polyethylene are constructed of various homemade devices and devices in which the main working instrument is a hot plate or wire.
WHEN BROKE OFF THE SCREW…
Hard turns (as, indeed, trudnosmyvaemye) fastener (screw or stud) face many troubles, both small and large. The latter can be safely attributed the breakage in the body parts of the stud or screw, as the extraction residue of the fastener from a threaded hole or socket parts is very thin, requires great accuracy. The reasons of breakages of fasteners can be several: excess torque; the use of low-grade threaded products; “welding” of the parts and threads of the fastener due to corrosion or high-temperature heating, and others.
DRANK, SAW!
For the workman man a good tool — it is, as they say, is half the battle. For cutting tools (e.g., saws) it is important that it was sharp. With a significant amount of grinding you have to do periodically, and if the material is solid and hard, it is time for this, in General, support the operation, spent even more than the work itself. But, making edits “on the knee”, and get tired quickly and the quality suffers.
“CIRCULAR SAW” FROM THE DRILL
In the household from time to time there is a need for longitudinal sawing long boards on the bars or slats, trim, particle Board (chipboard) size or production of similar transactions with other similar building or furniture materials. Who performed such work with a hand saw, he knows how it is tedious, and difficult job, especially when such cuts necessary to make a few or have to work with wood, or cut the old particle Board with a lacquer finish, which stiffened the binder, and the coating is vitrified.
DRILLS ENLARGER…
At the present time become unneeded enlargers: not only because of the high cost and scarcity of photographic materials, but also wide distribution of “phocomelic” and laboratories for developing and printing. Offer a simple method of altering the enlarger in… drilling machine, which is a must for home handyman. For this purpose, suitable enlargers as the friction load of the projector and the suspension of the oscillating rods. Both of these options provide a smooth, effortless moving the projector up and down. Instead, using a clamp to be secured a drill.
“COMBINE” SOLDERING IRON
A good soldering iron stand is necessary for the radio Amateurs and all those who deal with soldering. Description of just such a fixture and is offered to attention of readers. The stand can be made at home from readily available materials, with minimal plumbing skills and ordinary tools. It is simple in design and easy to operate. The stand has a special slot for bottles with three types of liquid flux and one with alcohol. In addition, two resealable containers: great for solid rosin and solder, a small – coiled spiral wire of solder (one or two of the Central loop are pulled up straight, and placed vertically so it looks like the column of solder that is easy to take in small amounts at the tip of the iron when soldering printed circuit boards). On the edge of the stand, the wooden deck is the place of tinning wires and insights details.
SMALL — YES, UNIVERSAL!
Woodworking machine in the personal sector never hurts, and in the construction or building a house or garden he is simply necessary. However, the ability to purchase it is not everyone. Moreover, commercially available machines also not all in all satisfied: the dimensions are large, then the possibility is too small, then again the price is high. With such a choice had to face me. Out of position is quite simple — estimated their capabilities and decided to make the machine: what I needed, especially since the motor and sortimenti metal I already had.
AGAIN, THE COMPRESSOR OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Pets compression refrigerators usually serve more than a dozen years. But there comes a time when they become obsolete: most not physically, but mentally, as technological progress does not stand still, and it generates more and more perfect such devices. Acquiring a new, old refrigerators are simply thrown away, although some aggregates still could serve, albeit in a different capacity, or for other purposes.
