SAWMILL HOME

For repair and construction works often require different, up to large-sized lumber, the lumber purchase and delivery which sometimes is not easy. Everything is easier if you have (albeit not heavy duty) sawmill at home. Especially collapsible, not occupies in storage a lot of space. For example, I am very happy with my homemade sawmill. “Circular saw” fixed on the shaft 5-kilowatt electric motor, which is mounted on telefonnoi trolley, easy moving along steel guides. From existing analogues is my sawmill is characterized primarily in that is designed for a single employee, a pensioner.

THE FARM WILL FIT: THE WINDMILL SCARECROW

THE FARM WILL FIT

Themed collections about simple but efficient home appliances, without which no cost, private courtyard, “modelist-Konstruktor” published a lot (see for example, № 7’92, 5’95, 6’97, 6’99). However, interest in such developments is unabated to the present time, as evidenced by the editorial mail. Their technical devices designed for the use of scrap materials and home technology available to any novice, brings to the readers Solonin — the inventor and innovator, one of the active authors of our journal.

TO REPLACE THE SHOVEL

IN PLACE OF THE SHOVEL

From time immemorial came to us a shovel, which V. Dahl, the Creator of the Explanatory dictionary of the live great Russian language, gave a surprisingly apt definition:”shell blade for digging and vygreba loose bodies”. This is a manual tool firsthand known to owners of summer cottages and garden plots, not to mention those who from infancy a peasant to stick with the earth-wet nurse. However, the most curious, knowing the pros and cons of an ancient shovel, are increasingly trying to improve or even to replace it with another more suited to perform several specialized tasks hand tools.

SHREDDER FEED

SHREDDER FEEDWags say that invention, they say, are born from laziness. Maybe they’re right. I tired to cut the tops and chop the root vegetables for domestic animals manually — set about creating an electric shredder feed. Memory told where to find the prototype: of course, among the developments of the journal “modelist-Konstruktor”. Indeed, the number 12 in 1992 found a description and sketch Assembly “lubarsky for cows”. But the cone-shaped cups from the separator, which served as the basis of the unit in my possession was not. But there was a sheet of the stainless steel. Made from it a cylindrical “bucket”, which became the shredder feed. And the bottom are made with a flare — for a better connection with the side wall (welding face) and increase the stiffness of the whole structure.

THE FIRST THING THE TILLERS

Accurately process small parcel of land on which “serious” technology closely, except that the tillers. Therefore, the prudent farmers, deciding to get a similar unit, first choose the make and weigh its capabilities. And then think about the truck, mounted and trailed equipment that will be needed for your specific job. So was the case with me. The only difference is that I decided not to buy ready-made tillers, and build it yourself. For the sample took the industrial design “the meadow”, Podkopayeva its simplicity. But only a sample because I have assemblies and parts which are markedly different from standing on the prototype. They had to fit, and many components and parts — manufactured again.
