In your journal in one of the rooms of yesteryear has published an article — “the plug”. I must say that the proposed options combined metal dowels rather complicated to manufacture, but their use is justified for hollow panels and panels of partitions, which in modern buildings are not too frequent. Novosel is usually found with the need to drill or punch holes in concrete, brick and rarely in gipsolitovye panels, and requires significant skills, experience and special tools. Besides produce during operation the noise causes discomfort to the neighbors.
Our workshop
AND SHARPENING, AND DRILLING, AND MILL
To create a lathe-boring woodworking machine me prompted memories of school days when in the classroom I received the first skills of work on a lathe — lesson interesting and exciting. Since then, as they say, much water has flowed, but the desire to do of wood pieces of furniture with a beautiful chiseled details is preserved, but the necessary lathe I had. And I decided to do it, adapting to the bed of the other machine, consisting of a “circular saw” and electrofunk (see “M-K” № 1 ‘2011), thus obtaining woodworking mini-complex.
THE DRILL OF DRILLS
I’m probably not mistaken saying that the majority of home handymen’s dream is to have a universal bormashenko. How many opportunities it opens! Engraving, abrasive machining of parts of complex configuration, the manufacture of dies and molds, drilling and countersinking holes located in hard to drill places, jewelry work — this is not a complete list of operations to perform which allows this mechanism. It is not surprising that bormashenko, due to its large SROs, it is not easy to get.
THE MACHINE OF DRILLS
Everyone who had to drill holes using a hand drill or a hand brace, knows how difficult it is to keep the drill bit in the desired position (usually perpendicular to the surface of the workpiece). In many cases, to avoid such difficulties helps homemade machine hand drill.
Its design can be like this. Thick wide stand mounted vertical stand with two guide rails. In the grooves of the rails easy to move the strap connected to the Shoe (“slide”), to which by means of a metal strip is attached to the body of the drill.
The SMALLEST V12 ENGINE
A Spanish engineer named patalo were collected 12-cylinder V-shaped engine, which, he believes, is the smallest such engine in the world. The engine consists of 261 element, made of aluminum, bronze and stainless steel.
SCREEN “GOES OUT” TO THE BALCONY
Again getting popular pretty ancient, but timeless furniture design for home comfort — screen. Indoors she was fenced off area of the patient; modestly covered shy of dress; served simply with a partition separating a living area in the room from the other. When it was not desired — developed in a flat pack, without disturbing anyone and without taking up virtually no storage space, being tucked away in a closet or placed on the balcony. But in this latest version of its screen location, it turned out, not only can be, but also to perform, according to the Hungarian magazine “Earmaster” even a new feature, competing with the now popular Windows.
“ETERNAL” COVER
Thrifty owners tradition harvested in the winter, various pickles, jams has always existed, but today it is particularly topical: products are expensive, and the purchasing power behind. At the same time the country is experiencing a suburban boom, and the plots — planting, greenhouses, fruit trees, berry bushes. Grown crop requires processing and canning for the winter, and that means rolling many cans you need the metal cap.
IF THE FUSE BLOWS
When a fuse opens in the apartment is a nuisance, but when this happens in the car — it is almost a tragedy, of course, if there is no spare. Meanwhile, to restore this simple appliance (1) is elementary easy — just remove the blown prowadnicach and wrapping (2, 3) the core fuse one layer of foil (if the blown fuse was an 8 amp) or two (if it was a 16 amp).
MUFFLER – ASSEMBLY DIFFICULT
Interest in homemade silencers due primarily to the poor quality of serial products. It is quite natural Amateur designer to improve their technique. Of course, significantly improve engine power due to the muffler at a given noise level of the exhaust gases is almost impossible, but to eliminate some of the shortcomings of industrial designs is still quite real.
LINOLEUM AND MYTHS ABOUT HIM
One of the oldest and most common flooring in our country — the linoleum. Over time, this popular material have changed and improved, but in the memory of buyers are still alive old stereotypes. They often give rise to myths which we will try to debunk.
Myth 1. Linoleum is not a safe materials
It should be noted that the original linoleum was a completely natural material made from flax, oil and resin. Modern flooring materials are mainly produced from synthetic polymer — polyvinyl chloride (PVC). In Europe and the USA they are called not linoleum and PVC coatings. In Russia, however, prefer to use the old name.
