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.

THE MOTORCYCLE BECOMES A TWO-WHEEL TRACTOR

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

Immediately (as, probably, many who are in a similar situation there is a decision to be this veteran (the good, the engine chain) to harvest potatoes motomania.

THE OLD MAGICIAN — GIPS

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.

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

Categories Small-scale mechanization

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”

Categories World of models

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

Categories Own hands

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.
