Perhaps this mechanism is the lightest in its family of counterparts: even a schoolchild can lift and carry it if need be. Low weight and utmost simplicity of construction—these are the qualities of the bicycle plow that drew the attention of visitors to the exhibition of young technicians’ work, participants in the All-Union rally of Read more…
Cultivating land, planting (or sowing) crops, and caring for them is not only labor-intensive but also physically demanding. Even those who have acquired a dacha or garden plot to have a place to “stretch” at leisure or work the land for pleasure try to somehow lighten and mechanize these tasks. For this purpose, a multifunctional Read more…
A concrete mixer is constantly needed when building a house. A lot of cement mortar is required, and it also needs periodic mixing. A tub with a shovel are poor helpers here — you’ll tire yourself out to the point of aching all over, and the mix quality will still be low. Buying a branded, Read more…
Ordinary hand rakes for hay collection are an ancient tool familiar to every rural resident. As a rule, all parts of this tool are made of wood to make it lighter—after all, you have to hold it almost always in the air during work. The width of hand rake capture is small, and accordingly, productivity Read more…
Bolts, nuts, washers, cotter pins, and other small items are necessary in any household. Or, say, jars and bottles with spices, seeds, chemical reagents… It’s good when all of this is not in “working disorder,” but at hand, in a homemade glass storage rack, the square cells of which are quite capacious and compact. The Read more…
The proposed mini-farm is designed for breeding and keeping rabbits of any breed in both private and public subsidiary farms. Its basis is a two-tier cage-module (if necessary, there can be several of them, united by a common roof). The farm’s design and maintenance regime are thought out so that it can be used even Read more…
The proposed plow originated, one might say, from a shovel. One spring day on my garden plot, I was making furrows for planting root crops. The soil had been previously plowed, but I had to work bent low, and therefore suffered quite a bit. In the yard at that time, my first-grader grandson Igor was Read more…
This wheelbarrow was designed (if you can call it that—the process of thinking through the design and estimating dimensions) and built in a few hours after my brother and I received a message from our father in the village asking us to help him build an access road to the house. It was clear that Read more…
“Potatoes are often called the second bread. But this bread is not easy to come by. Especially without using prohibitively expensive tillers and mini-tractors, relying only on a shovel and a hoe. About a year ago, “Modelist-Konstruktor” decided to help, publishing a good development about a tracer-potato planter made from water and gas pipes. But Read more…
I am a long-time, or rather, hereditary subscriber to the magazine “Modelist-Konstruktor”. At first (since 1972), my father – Galkin Grigory Petrovich (he is now 80 years old) – subscribed to the magazine, and then I did myself. Since the beginning of the “Aviatscollection” supplement, I have been subscribing to it as well. As long Read more…
