ROWING – SAILING!

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.

FLIGHT “ON THE BACK”

FLIGHT

To train novice of group members control cord model aircraft is a difficult task. And in inverted flight, or as it is called, in flight “on the back”— all very complicated. It affects several factors. The first training back to flying starts on polyproteins car, inevitably bound to be very sensitive. Second, the need from normal mode (already a little spent!) almost instantly switch on the back. Perhaps that is why in many circles at this stage and the “wood” mangled a lot, and spent plenty of nerves.

“COWBOY” GUITAR

Banjo – a stringed musical instrument with a body in the form of a tambourine and a long wooden neck as the guitar, which usually stretch from four to six strings (can be up to nine). Banjos belong to a kind of guitar with a resonator but most of it is similar to the European well-known mandolin (although the banjo is more sharp and ringing sound). In Europe the tool came from America in the 1830-ies, and there, from West Africa in the late 17th century with the black slaves who first made the body of the banjo from dried pumpkin.

THEN JUST A WARDROBE, A TABLE WITH WARDROBE

THEN JUST A WARDROBE, DESK WITH CUPBOARDIn our small apartment and the kitchen is small: only 6 m2. Not really much to go, but there is also a need in the dining table because the kitchen in our conditions, multifunction room, including a dining room. But standard store table, even folding, I’ll take the last meters. The way out is to make it yourself.The main task posed this to me, is to develop a design that would meet several essential requirements: ease during meals; compact size at its end, that is, the ability to develop; at the same time be a container for kitchen utensils.

HARNESSED THE WINCH..

HARNESSED THE WINCH..Winch, in combination with a plow, not news. Especially for owners of small plots of land on which these pretty simple and reliable konstruktsii a great way has already established itself. Unlike the mini-tractor winch not compacts the soil. And not stalled, as the tillers. But almost all traction motor power goes into useful work — plowing the earth towed plow. The winch is held securely in place by anchor legs which, with a kind of bayonet shovels, lengo deepened into the ground. Plowing are together, making a furrow for furrow. With a partner, the duties of which include the return of the plow n the beginning of the furrow may be 10-year-old child. High kachestvo spalni is guaranteed even at extremely inconvenient uchastkah (slopes with a profile like a “washboard”) and heavy soils.

“VIRTULA” FOR ALL

Designing a new racing control line aeromodel, we opted not on some extravagant options, but the proven classic design, well established and fully proven to date. The base design was made by the sports equipment K. Chistov, the champion of Russia. It’s a model we liked, although some decisions of its individual parts and assemblies we have been critical, based on specific conditions and capabilities of our LC too rich equipment of the group.

SANDBOX FOR THE SEASON

SANDBOX FOR THE SEASON

If you want children in the country played always under supervision — make it a sandbox. It does not require special skills, scarce materials and sophisticated tools. A hacksaw with a hammer Yes a pole from the forest of dead wood — that’s all I need for the job. As for the proposed design, it is so interesting that is very simple and… portable, and thus is set to the season and then removed for storage in the shed or the barn-pantry. So, you struck from the wood poles and sawed them accordingly: whether all the same — then the sandbox will turn out square, or half of them half as long — and then get the elongated version.

AS I DO MOTORCYCLES

HOW DO I MAKE MOTORCYCLES

The motorcycle design is not less exciting than any other vehicles. Besides the motorcycle, which are, in fact, the bare concept of a self-propelled mechanism, requires greater design sophistication, inventive gift and sense good mechanic. Offer the reader the court their ideas on how to design a homemade motorcycle. I can say that some experience in this kind of work I have: in the competition “Motosam-90” was presented to my homemade — eighth — motorcycle in the picture that readers can see the report from the review in No. 2, 1991. The photographs presented on these pages, three motorcycle my design. One of them is the latest and most successful — I want to tell the readers.
