Organizing a friends meeting, a picnic at the river-lake or any scenic forest clearing, arranging a family celebration (or formal reception) in his “country residence”is different in the summer splendor of the country, of course, take care of appropriate treat. And among the “gastronomic delights” many will certainly want to see natural barbecue or made immediately by a special recipe smelly hot. So hurry to get a special grill, an ingenious foldable (imported, expensive) Dutch oven…

BEAUTIFUL ISOLATION

I advise you not to throw away the pieces-rolls PVC insulation when Stripping the ends of the thick electric wires — they will be useful when connecting more than thin wires.

COT – CHAIR

We are not talking necessarily about that which you have and continues to serve you, helping out, when the relatives descend or distant guests. If you still need it — let it stand in the closet or is on the mezzanine. But it is no secret that many throw them away as useless — how many of them find around the holiday villages, former pioneer camp or recreation. But the material of the tubes — durable, and the design of cots — conscience, that is, durable. Here I propose to give them a second life; it is especially useful to owners of summer cottages or garden houses, and just elderly people coming out to breathe in nature, in the nearest green area. I mean a light, comfortable folding chair.

Everyone, of course, their concerns. I, for example, the problems associated with the mechanization Ubangi, say, peppermint, no PI will take seriously.

THE OLD WIZARD GYPSUM

Lathe in a home workshop is not a luxury but a primary necessity: the fact of the matter is necessary to produce parts that are in the geometry are called solids of revolution. But is it really impossible to do without a lathe? Not to remember us on the old, reliable, easily formed material — plaster. There are many details that there is no need to sharpen the cutter for hours to iron with sandpaper, polishing, etc. and all they could be plaster. Working with plaster is much easier than with wood or metal, and “machine” for this can easily be done in just a quarter of an hour from a sheet of thick plywood or chipboard in the center of which is inserted the axle — a metal or wooden rod. Still need a “cutter” — a plywood template with a metal cutting edge. The contour of the edge must correspond to half of the cross section of future products, for example, the layout of the wheel.

If the bath tube or sink due to the loose fitting to the drain hole allows water to enter, then restore its tightness is easiest with a rubber fingertip — just need to fit them to the tube.

ROWING – SAILING!

To acquire a sailboat—even the most simple!—one desire is not enough. You have to go to the cost, sometimes completely devastating for the family budget. And the time to construct such a vessel takes a lot. However, there is a way—readily available and inexpensive. It is to install on a rented pleasure craft rowing boat (for example, type “Mullet” or “Trout”) a simple improvised sailing arms. Do not, of course, be expected from such a “yacht” high speed and Lavrovich qualities. This is possible only if a radical change in the structure of the boat and improved its facilities, including a retractable centerboard or verzemi.

EASY TO WASH, AND SORT

Feed the dirty beets, potatoes and other root vegetables and even pigs, they say, is impossible. And to wash manually — it is tedious and to be rather still troublesome. As, however, and no mechanized sorting of tubers. And it should have two fairly simple devices, and the old problems will be solved, that is, themselves.Based on the first one are “squirrel cage” of metal rods, inside of which laid the “ill-fated” roots. This latticed drum mounted NV the frame and provided with a handle. He lowered into a container of water. 30-50 seconds rotating them, and the tubers clean. Drum diameter and length can be very different. As they say, depends on who needs what. For example, I made a drum diameter of 600 and a length of 600 mm, which includes 6 buckets of potatoes. To spin such a device a few dozen rpm — and it’s done.
