The journal “modelist-Konstruktor” I write a since 1985 and have never regretted it. Read everything from the first page to the last. Very useful and interesting publication. And though time is now difficult, and the cost of the magazine is not so low, will it write in the future, because I believe that the value of the log above its price. The journal regularly and in sufficient volume published drawings of armored vehicles, planes, cars. But, unfortunately, rarely describes the production technology of models and designs equipment and devices, without which hampered their establishment.
HOME FOUNDRY
In the summer the motorcycle “Minsk” served me faithfully, like the fairytale the little humpbacked horse. In autumn and winter, due to the off-road, it idled, though the need for movement over long distances and in that time I was no less. That’s when I decided to make him an ATV, but which if necessary could again transform the bike. Thumbing through the binder of the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” for a dozen years, found few publications on this subject that helped to define the schema of the vehicle and design of main components. Useful and previous experience of technical creativity. Required tools and equipment, which are available at many homebrew, I had the welding and machine, and even a small lathe with a fixture that allows you to perform the milling operation.
In the cramped conditions of the home, whether in a small apartment or in the country, the offered sofa is convenient because during the day he takes up very little space, and in the evening can turn into a normal comfortable bed. Such metamorphoses are explained gem that the sofa is a structure able to fold to fold, being depending on the need in one form to another. The whole structure is assembled from three separate wooden platforms, connected by hinges, allowing the platforms to change mutual arrangement. Two of them absolutely identical and the third differs in that it is bilateral. What caused it, it will become clear from a more detailed consideration of their device.
Inspired by the example of a neighbor, homebrew and avid angler, as well as interesting developments “Modeller-designer” (see, e.g., No. 1, 2002), I made a compact smokehouse for smoked dried fish. The basis of my design — dural box size 1600x800x600 mm, assembled on a frame of steel angle 35×35 mm. Sides the smokehouse folding (for loading and unloading fish), to the cover are fastened with clasps of the type “frog”. In the front and rear walls are three rows of holes for pins pendants products, which are smoked, and smoke.
Utilities are widely used shut-off valves — they are in all water inlets in the house and each apartment. Earlier these devices were made of iron or steel: casing — cast iron, and the remaining parts (except seals) — steel. Such gates are still many in the water supply systems, although most of them are not working: their thread has long since rusted and the stocks firmly rooted to the heads. And these are “rarities”, playing only the role of coupling, but unreliable, as the water through the hole in the head stem still leaks.
