Crafts made from old objects and things to which you can return a second life can make your home much more comfortable. Some made homemade products for household with their own hands, they can significantly save the home budget, make work easier or make the surrounding interior more interesting. And even if difficulties arise in the process, overcoming them will be worth it.
In almost any home there is always some set of tools necessary for the household. But sometimes situations arise when, to work in your own workshop or garage, you need some kind of device that cannot be purchased in the store or it is very expensive. In this case, a way out can be found by making it with your own hands.
This metal heating device will become an indispensable assistant in your home workshop. The forge can be safely used to make original items using artistic forging. These will be truly unique forged items.
For the furnace, it is best to use an empty 25 liter gas cylinder. Its ends are cut off with a grinder, and the furnace door and its rear part will be made from the cut parts. The inside of the cylinder is covered with refractory ceramic wool, which is able to withstand temperatures over 1200 0 C. From above, it is coated with fireclay clay (lined), which can withstand temperatures up to 1500 0 C. After lining, fireclay slabs or refractory bricks are placed on the bottom of the hearth.
A hole is drilled at the top and a small squeegee is inserted, allowing you to insert the nozzle of a gas burner, which can create a temperature in the hearth of more than 1000 0 C - quite enough to heat the metal to a certain temperature suitable for forging.
In the manufacture of such a lift, the cash costs will be much less than buying a factory model. To make it, you will have to spend only on materials, half of which, perhaps, can be found in the garage.
Materials required to assemble the lift:
For the lifting mechanism, it is best to use a worm-gear hand winch with a maximum load of up to 500 kg, which is attached to one of the crane legs.
The design does not take up much space in the workshop, easily moves on hard surfaces and is quite convenient for removing the engine from the car.
The main highlight of this rack is its small size., but at the same time it is possible to place a large number of tools on it, and if necessary, quickly move it to any place or adjacent room. It is very convenient to use such a rack in your workshop or when conducting construction and repair work in large rooms, especially when you need to carry tools frequently.
The rack can be assembled on the basis of a collapsible plastic rack installed on a homemade platform with wheels (cart). The platform is made precisely to the dimensions of the rack from a metal corner with 45x45 mm shelves or a sheet of plywood with a thickness of at least 10 mm. Furniture metal wheels are used for movement.
In addition to the rack, you can make and fix fasteners for building levels, extension cords and other tools that can be stored hanging.
There is not always a financial opportunity to buy, for example, something from new furniture in a furniture showroom or place an order for its production. But you can always get out of this situation by making the right thing with your own hands, while making it attractive and unique, using available means for this.
A backsplash is a wall surface between a worktop and wall units. Usually this part of the wall is lined tiles... But to cover it, it is possible to use many other materials, for example, to glue wine corks on the wall.
This exclusive decor looks pretty gorgeous.
Before gluing, each cork is cut lengthwise into two halves with a sharp clerical knife. It is advisable to paint the wall black, which will accentuate the seams between the corks.
The corks are glued to the wall using liquid nails in a checkerboard pattern or with a certain pattern, since it is unlikely that they can be laid out perfectly exactly, and the curved rows will visually look disgusting.
The corks themselves are not afraid of moisture, but they quickly get dirty and poorly washed, so it is best to cover them with a glass screen made of tempered glass. True, you will have to spend a little money on it and order glass in a special workshop, where they will cut it to a given size and make holes for sockets and fasteners.
The glass is fixed to the wall with anchor dowels, which can be purchased at almost any hardware store.
While an apron decorated with wine corks can be expensive, the results achieved will be worth it.
The surface of the countertop, as well as the wall, can be decorated with corks and covered with tempered glass.
Mounted on the wall folding table IR allows you to save some space in the apartment. In the unfolded state, it can protrude from the wall at a distance of no more than 10 cm and does not bother anyone at all, but when unfolded it can replace a full-fledged table.
There are many options where you can use a folding table fixed to the wall. Here are just a few of the most basic ones:
There is probably nothing better than freshening up under the tap of water on a hot summer day, especially if he went to work in the garden. Naturally, only a shower will solve this problem and remove the fatigue that has accumulated during the day.
The shower can be installed independently without the involvement of outside help, the main thing is to choose a place for it and decide on the type of shower cabin.
Three types of cabins stand out among summer showers., which you can freely build on your own:
Installing a simple shower is done in this way:
The booth can be sheathed with boards, plywood, slate, or simply covered with tarpaulin or cellophane wrap with folding canopies.
The topic of construction or renovation probably worries everyone. And, of course, everyone who deals with it wants to finish it as soon as possible with minimal financial costs. Therefore, if you want to save money, you can make some materials for construction on their own... For example, it can be wall SIP panels or such a useful tool as a vibrating plate, the need for which often arises for many owners of a personal plot.
For their manufacture, you need to prepare a flat, hard platform. Laying on it a sheet of OSB with a thickness of 10-12 mm with a rubber spatula with teeth, apply glue to it.
Then put sheets of foam grade 25-30 on the glue. After that, on top of the laid foam plastic, as well as on the bottom OSB plate, an adhesive mass is applied, and the second OSB sheet is laid on top.
If several panels are being made at the same time, stacked in a pile, work should be done quickly, until the glue hardens. Usually, in this way, no more than 4-5 panels can be prepared at a time.
After the blank for the formed slabs, you need to create pressure using a press. Since at home, of course, hydraulic press no, it can be replaced with a thick plywood sheet laid on the prepared SIP-plates over the entire plane and loaded for 2-3 hours, for example, with several bags of cement, sand or other cargo. You can even use by car, having driven onto a plywood sheet along a pre-made overpass.
After the glue has completely dried, the homemade panels will be ready, they can be folded into a separate pile and start preparing new panels. The manufactured panels should lie already without load for another day, after which they can be used for their intended purpose.
To make a homemade vibrating plate, you will need to prepare:
On the narrow sides of the slab, stepping back from the edges by 80-100 mm, make an incision with a grinder to a depth of about 5 mm. After that, bend the edges towards the notch at an angle of approximately 25 0 and weld them. Bends are needed so that the vibrating plate does not sink into the material it compresses and moves freely along its surface.
Then, across the plate at a certain distance, calculated for the fastening of the electric motor, two channels are welded with the shelves down. Through advance drilled holes in the channel, with the help of M10 bolts, an electric vibrator is attached to them.
The tube handle attaches to the vibrator through soft rubber grommets available from your auto store or hardware store in the hardware department.
Thus, you can make a lot of useful things in the household with your own hands, spending only part of the money that would have to be paid when buying a finished product. You just need to make some effort and have certain skills.
