Things, household items, furniture break down over time and deteriorate, or gradually wear out and become obsolete. And if in first two cases, all the property owners are trying to save (restore, repair), in other circumstances the majority of things are just thrown away. After all, to give old things a second life, not everyone can, but only people with a creative imagination and skillful hands. About such useful things made by the workman man of old fold out beds of duralumin tubes, and will be discussed.
GARBAGE SEPARATELY AND PETROL SEPARATELY
Looking at the picture, the reader will notice that the use of plastic bottles as funnels. But the funnel offer may be a good filter, capable to protect the fuel system of your vehicle from debris. It’s enough to cut with a knife a hole in the lid, pull at the neck of the bottle Read more…



A roof over my head and need a four-legged friend that’s guarding your house. It does not require much, but shelter from the weather is necessary and the dog. And to build a kennel is available to any owner, and this does not require special skills, special tools or materials – enough that usually have on hand: boards, roofing material, nails, handsaw, hammer.
Among the variety of tillers, microstructural and any other motor vehicles dominate Amateur-built machines, assembled from serial components and assemblies. The selection of a standard motor for most cases it is justified and necessary. But the use of ready-made frames, rear axles, transmissions, gearboxes, clutches almost always makes the homemade is too heavy, bulky and unsightly. A more promising design concept – using the minimum required number of standard units. Such mechanisms, although more laborious to manufacture, but allow the author to realize the most daring design ideas.

It is known that the temperature of the soldering iron depends largely on the quality of the performed installation. Are particularly bad (if not harmful) to overheat. Immediately deteriorating the quality of the soldering, there is a risk of peeling the printed wire Board, is accelerated wear of the operating rod, and even failure of the heating element. Sting often cleaned of oxides and overheated — not holding solder.

“Almost five years are a reader and subscriber of the journal “modelist-Konstruktor”. During this time, produced in any published developments in several homemade “for home, for family.” Would like to start welding-charging-starting device, a circuit diagram and description of which I had noticed in one of the rooms of the journal for this year, but deterred by the winding operation in the manufacture of powerful transformer, choke. And the installation of electronic control unit thyristors, I’m afraid not master. Whether it is at least a little to simplify the development of that interest me?”
For feeding low-voltage soldering iron from a household outlet uses simple adapters, which are, as a rule, the quenching capacitance (capacitor for a specific value). However, the use of such a device for installation of equipment with microprocessors, field-effect transistors and other electronic components afraid of static electricity is undesirable. Too high risk of breakdown due to the direct connection of the heating element with electricity of high voltage. Need galvanic isolation. For example, in the form of a step-down transformer.
No need to be a technician to do such wonderful things. Old vase turned into the original decoration of the interior; a simple clay bowl in the Cup with an elegant geometric ornament; and from the frame out of plywood for a mirror it is impossible to look away. What looks like a set of stories, really — a wooden box decorated with ceramic shards. A clip made of fragments of porcelain and small beads. Good idea for a gift: the same can be decorative pins and brooches.
