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.
Our workshop
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.
BURNER FOR GAS-FLAME BRAZING
Propano-butane mixture, which is filled in cylinders for household gas stoves, in optimal conditions, burns in air with a flame temperature up to 1200 °C. It is sufficient to work with “hard” (sredneivkino) alloys: copper-zinc (brass), silver. But to get a flame, the burner must provide good mixing of gas with air, that is, feeding them at a specific ratio — no more and no less! For easy work with small parts torch should be fine, but at the same time steady and fairly hot.
ELECTROSHOCK
Sometimes the house master when performing any repair or maintenance work is to explore the dark, and even hard-to-reach place that will not push a normal portable lamp. In this case, helps out a small candle and even ordinary match, but often the conditions do not allow the use of open flames: fire or by circumstances, or because of the possibility to ruin something that needs to be seen.
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.
WORKBENCH-THE TRIPTYCH
To design present a universal (I believe) bench is a necessary desktop DIY I came across several years of studying technical creativity. It was designed based on their needs. But I think about the same requirements to such equipment his Studio have most other home handymen. Workbench foldable and small in size. However, due to the original pressure of the knot on it to handle you can pin a fairly large parts and products, installing them in a vertical plane, and at multiple fixed angles.
CUT SLOTS AND GROOVES
In the conditions of a home workshop without special tools and fixtures can be performed, perhaps, only the so-called “collective” keyway: when impaled on the shaft gear or pulley is drilled by the drill joint hole centered on the circle stitching. Then in this hole is inserted a cylindrical key. But such a connection of the parts securely — no wonder because it is not in any Guest.
