Currently, you can purchase ready-made machines, tools and equipment to equip your own workshop, but all this will be quite expensive. Homemade machines will help the master in his practical work, and will not burden his budget. Why buy something that you can do yourself, and even in relation to specific conditions.

How to use for home workshop?
Each owner chooses the equipment of his own workshop himself. It depends on the characteristics of the hobby, i.e. type of work and area of ​​the premises. The minimum area of ​​a home workshop in which it makes sense to place equipment is 3-4 m².

It can be located in a small room or on the balcony of an apartment, a separate building on own plot or in the garage. The ideal option is a secluded room where you can make noise without disturbing other people.

According to its purpose, a home workshop can be universal, i.e. to carry out any work that unexpectedly arises in everyday life, or to have a specific direction related to the hobby of the master. Most often, workshops are equipped for working with wood, i.e. for carpentry work. Quite often there is a need for metal processing (metalwork) and car repairs.

In general, setting up a home workshop includes the following elements:

Structures for storing tools and materials (racks, shelves, cabinets);
- equipment for work (workbenches, work tables);
- machines for processing materials;
- devices for mechanizing work, facilitating labor, preparing tools, etc.

The equipment must be placed so that there is easy access to it, safety precautions are observed and fire safety standards, provided minimal comfort.

Carpentry workbench

A carpenter's workbench is a durable table with a working surface on which a carpenter's vice (2 pieces), clamps for securing the workpiece when planing with a plane are attached, and places are provided for installing a router and other hand-held machines.

The height should ensure ease of work, taking into account the actual height of the master. The length should be at least 1 m (usually 1.7-2 m), and the width should be 70-80 cm.

Instructions for making a carpentry workbench:

Working surface It is made in the form of a shield with tightly fitted boards with a thickness of at least 55 mm. Beech, oak, and hornbeam are best suited. They should first be soaked in drying oil. Strengthening is achieved with a beam measuring 4-5 cm, which is attached along the entire perimeter of the shield.

Vertical table supports can be made of pine or linden. Typically, a beam measuring 12x12 or 15x15 cm with a length of about 120-135 cm is used. Support elements They are connected by horizontal jumpers made of a wide board, fixed at a height of 20-30 cm from the floor.

Tools and accessories are stored on shelves that are located under the lid. It is better to make them in the form of a cabinet with a door. Shelf panels can be placed on the wall above the workbench.

A pair of homemade or factory carpentry vices is attached to the working surface

For a homemade vice you will need a long screw rod with a diameter of at least 20 mm with a threaded part length of at least 14-16 cm, metal pins and wooden blocks.

Manufacturing is carried out in the following order:

Cut out wooden block(can be made of pine) about 20x30 cm in size and at least 5 cm thick, in which a hole for a screw is drilled in the center, and at the bottom there are 2 holes for guide pins. This first vise jaw is permanently fixed to the work surface.

The second sponge is cut from a similar board and has dimensions of 20x18 cm. This will be a movable element.

A screw pin is passed through the jaws. To prevent displacement of elements, studs with a diameter of about 8-10 mm are fixed. A handle is installed on the screw rod.

How to make a metal workbench with your own hands?
To carry out plumbing work you will need a metal workbench. Its standard size is: length 1.8-2.1 m, width – 0.7-0.8 m, height – 0.9-1.2 m. Manufacturing includes the following steps:

Assembling the workbench frame with imparting longitudinal rigidity.
- Assembling and securing 2 cabinets in the form of a frame covered with a metal sheet.
- Installation of the work surface – wooden shield, sheathed on top with a metal sheet.
- Installation of a tool rack, which is fixed to the back of the workbench and further strengthens it.

Rack beams - profile pipe with a wall of at least 2 mm, size 4x6 cm. Needed - 4 pcs.;
- beams measuring 5x4 cm for horizontal linking of posts, providing longitudinal rigidity. Quantity – 3 pcs.;
- profiled pipe (9 pcs) for making a frame for cabinets measuring about 4x3 cm with a wall thickness of at least 1 mm;
- a 5x5 cm corner for vertical rack posts with a height of 1.5-2 m. For horizontal linking, you can use a 4x4 cm corner;
- a board for the tabletop with a thickness of at least 5 cm;
- a metal sheet for a working surface with a thickness of at least 6-8 mm.

Features of creating a wood lathe
Homemade lathe to work with wooden blanks includes the following elements:

Bed. It must have sufficient strength. It is better to make it from a metal profile (pipe, corner), but it can also be made from wooden beam. It is important to securely fasten the frame to the workshop floor and weight the structure at the bottom.
- Headstock or clamping spindle. As this element of the machine, you can use a head from a high-power drill.
- Tailstock. In order to ensure longitudinal feed of the workpiece, it is better to use a standard factory spindle with 3-4 cams.
- Support or stop for incisors. It must provide reliable fastening and the ability to move towards the workpiece, which is ensured by a screw rod.
- Tool table. A working surface should be formed on the bed on which cutters and other tools can be laid out.
- Drive unit. To create torque, an electric motor with a rotation speed of 1500 rpm and a power of 250-400 W is used. You can use the engine from washing machine. A belt drive is used as a transmission, for which pulleys of the required size are installed on the shafts.

CNC milling machines for wood and metal
When milling wooden parts The software allows you to significantly expand the capabilities of the machine and the quality of processing. To form it, elements such as an LPT port and a CNC unit are installed. To make a copy unit, you can use the carriages of an old dot matrix printer.

Assembling the wood router is carried out in the following order:

The tabletop is made of chipboard or plywood with a thickness of at least 15 mm.
- A cutout is made for the cutter and its installation.
- The drive, transmission and spindle of the machine are secured.
- Stops and limiters are installed

Assembling a metal router requires a more solid base for the machine:

Installation of a column and frame in the shape of the letter “P”. The elements are made from steel channel. In a U-shaped design, the bridge is formed by the base of the instrument itself.
- The guide elements are made of steel angle and are bolted to the column.
- The guide consoles are made from rectangular pipe. A screw pin is inserted into them. The movement of the console is ensured using a car jack to a height of 12-15 cm.
- The worktop is made of chipboard or plywood.
- A vice with guides from metal corner, pin clamps.
- The rotating part is installed so that the shaft is vertical.

It's nice to see when a person made everything and other household items with my own hands. To simplify the process of cutting metal or sawing elements from wood, they build homemade machines and accessories for the home workshop. This solution saves not only time on manufacturing products, but also money on purchasing ready-made ones. Several practical and interesting options Let's look at it below.

Practical DIY tool shelves

Before creating devices and with your own hands, determine the storage location of all devices, so that later you do not have to search throughout the workshop or where everything is. It’s not difficult to make a shelf for tools with your own hands; the main thing is to decide on its dimensions and material of manufacture.

The easiest way to make shelves is to assemble them from wood. Don't forget to cover finished design protective varnish or to prevent rotting and swelling of the wood.

You can create combined option from a metal support and wooden shelves. Here are detailed instructions for creating such a homemade model:

Image	Sequencing
	Assembling the frame. To do this, prepare two side frames consisting of 4 corners. Connect the elements using . Then, tighten the 2 frames together using 4 corners.
	When the frame is completely assembled, proceed to making the shelves. They can be made from wood or metal, as well as from other available materials dense materials. It is enough to cut the canvases of a suitable size and attach them to a metal base.
	If desired, you can make the rack movable by attaching four small wheels. Or install it firmly in a designated space in the garage.

Among the common do-it-yourself devices is a workbench. Durable and dimensional, allowing you to securely fasten the workpiece, useful for high-quality cutting of wood and creating from it various elements.

The device package includes:

1. Working surface. Hard is used for it to increase the service life of the device. The thickness must be at least 6 cm.
2. Supports. Collected from wooden beams or metal plates. the main task– ensure stability of the entire mechanism.
3. Vise for securing the product. If the table is long, you can install two vices at once.
4. Tool box. A useful recess or pull-out design that provides quick access to needed small parts.

To assemble a carpentry workbench for your workshop yourself, you should choose a drawing and purchase materials for the work.

DIY carpentry workbench drawings

Before purchasing materials to assemble your own workbench, you should think about a detailed drawing. It should include the dimensions of the machine itself; it is advisable to note the dimensions of the materials used and their quantity.

For example, finished drawing A DIY folding workbench may look like this:

Whatever model you choose to create, take into account several features of the workbench that ensure ease of cutting wood:

• height and length of the master’s arms: the height and width of the tabletop depend on these parameters;
• which hand is working: place the vice on the right or left;
• what blanks will be made: choosing the shape of the table;
• how much space in the room do you allocate for the workbench?

Taking into account all these parameters, it will be easier for you to decide on the drawings of the carpentry workbench and the dimensions of the machine. Here are some interesting examples:

Instructions for assembling a wooden workbench with your own hands

You can buy a wooden workbench in a store or through online catalogs, but it’s cheaper to make it yourself. Let's take as a basis a simple option with standard sizes tabletops: length – 150-200 cm, width 70-120 cm.

The manufacturing work will include several stages:

Image	What need to do
	Make the top cover from thick ones to make a shield with a width of 70 to 200 cm. Fasten the elements with long nails, and you need to drive them in with outside, and carefully bend the inner one. The working surface of the workbench is made only of wood or.
	Sheathe the lid along the lower perimeter with a 5 by 5 cm beam. This will make it more convenient to attach vertical supports. The location of the supports depends on the size of the tabletop. It is better to make them from thick rectangular timber at least 120 by 120 mm.
	The carpentry workbench must be installed correctly. Be sure to secure it firmly. If it will be mounted outdoors under a canopy, dig holes for supports. Indoors, use other fastening methods.

When the structure is assembled, install a vice on it. To fully understand how to assemble a carpentry workbench with your own hands, watch the video:

Making a carpenter's vice for a workbench with your own hands

Professional “homemade workers” assemble not only tables for work, but also vices with their own hands according to drawings. Any design of such a clamp will include several elements:

1. Supports, where each one has a sponge for clamping.
2. Moving jaw.
3. Metal guides. The sponge moves over them.
4. Lead screw for moving elements.
5. Collar. Necessary for rotating the screw.

When making a homemade vice with your own hands, you can use various available materials. For example, there is a design option from profile pipe. To do this, prepare several pieces of pipe different sizes, steel stud with coarse thread and double nuts.

Instructions for creating a bench vise from a profile pipe:

Image	What need to do
	The largest pipe acts as a body. Supports are soldered to it from below. A 3-4 mm steel flange is put on the back side. A hole is drilled in the center for the running nut, and opposite the front support is the rear jaw.
	There is a front steel flange on the internal moving part. A stud is mounted in it, with lock nuts attached to it. Thrust washers are placed on both sides of the flange. The last element is a movable tube attached to the front jaw.

DIY metal workbench drawings

A metal workbench does not differ much from a carpenter's workbench. It is based on a rigid metal rather than wooden frame. A vice is attached to it, and the entire workbench is designed to withstand the force of a sledgehammer.

Do-it-yourself metal workbenches can have one, two or three cabinets, and also not have shelves and drawers for small parts. In terms of strength for working in a garage, you can make regular table made of metal up to 5 mm thick and reinforced structure, where sheets from 10 to 30 mm are applicable.

Here are some useful drawings for making metal workbench for your workshop:

How to make a device for sharpening knives with your own hands: drawings and photo examples

No home is complete without a knife in the kitchen. Correct without special devices It’s quite difficult to do: you need to maintain the right angle and achieve the ideal sharpness of the blade.

For each knife, a certain sharpening angle must be observed:

1. A razor and scalpel require an angle of 10-15⁰.
2. Knife for cutting bakery products – 15-20⁰.
3. Classic multifunctional knives – 25-30⁰.
4. For hunting and hiking, take a device with a blade angle from 25 to 30⁰.
5. If you want to cut hard materials, then sharpen at an angle of 30-40⁰.

To ensure the desired angle, it is worth buying or making a sharpening device. For example, you can assemble a sharpener with your own hands.

“If you don’t use sharpening every day, then 1000 rpm is enough for a high-quality result and a long service life of the device.

"

To assemble such a machine, you will need a motor from a washing machine with a power of 200 W. Completely for creating a sharpener from an engine from the Progress of work on creating such simple device will be as follows:

• Sand the wood blocks with sandpaper, removing any burrs. Make markings depending on the desired angle.

• Attach a stone to the drawn line to give the blade a sharp edge. To do this, attach it to the block and mark its width. Then, make cuts on the markings, up to 1.5 cm deep.
• Attach abrasive stones to the resulting recesses so that the grooves coincide. Then, install the sharpening stone by screwing it onto the bolts.

There are many ways to make a homemade knife sharpener. Choose the one that suits you and try to create a convenient and useful tool for home.

How to make a device for sharpening a metal drill with your own hands

They make their own not only a sharpener for blades, but also a machine for drill sharpening on metal. Here are a few drawings useful for work:

Ready home machine The simplest and most common version of such equipment for a garage is a converted drill. To work you will need:

• base frame;
• rotation mechanism;
• vertical stand.

For the rack, they usually use either boards. The drill is lightweight, so there is no need to use metal. In this case, the frame must be made massive in order to reduce vibrations during operation of the device.

To correctly connect the bed and vertical stand, as well as assemble all the equipment into one whole machine, pay attention to the video instructions:

Article

“You can never have too many tools” - everyone who has been involved in construction or making something has heard this phrase. The right tool is invaluable when you need to saw something off, weld it, or connect parts. The section on FORUMHOUSE about homemade machines and devices, which is called that, is constantly updated with new products that simplify and optimize the work of a builder or a “jack of all trades.”

We have already told you, and... Let's continue the topic we started. Today we will talk about homemade turning, plumbing and even gardening tools and devices for construction.

Grinder cutting machine

Machine tools for the workshop are always in demand, but an angle grinder (angle grinder), popularly known as a “grinder”, is one of the favorites in anyone’s arsenal. home handyman. But the instrument requires a very careful attitude, because any neglect may result in serious injury. Therefore, when cutting large volumes of metal (when making a fence or cutting reinforcement), many people prefer to work with a metal cutting machine.

You can buy a stand for an angle grinder online, but to save money, cutting machine you can make it yourself, from an “unnecessary” or “superfluous” “grinder” on the farm, which almost every owner has country house. As we'll see, it's good for more than just sharpening garden equipment!

Ivici FORUMHOUSE user,
Moscow.

I have an angle grinder weighing 5.5 kg. One day I thought about how to make it easier to use. After all, working with it, moving all the time, is inconvenient - your hands get tired quickly. I decided to make a convenient cutting machine from what I had.

Looking ahead, let's say that the machine (more precisely, its second modification) was a success: it cuts smoothly and without distortions.

Ivici I made it like this - I took a piece of channel No. 6.5 (65 mm wide and 36 mm high). This is the basis of the machine.

A steel strip of 50x5 mm was also required. With its help the angle grinder is secured. A 4x2 cm profile and a three-millimeter piece of steel were also required. A figure eight bolt serves as a turning axis.

In the first version of the machine, a powerful door hinge. But, due to welding, under the influence high temperature, all the lubricant in the loop has burned out, and a backlash has appeared in the assembly.

According to the user, the most difficult thing was to accurately mark and drill three holes with a diameter of 14 mm for attaching the angle grinder bolts to the threaded holes, designed for installing a side handle.

To do this, I had to use a stepped (conical) metal drill.

I also had to work with a round file. A small bore of the holes, due to the backlash, allows you to move the angle grinder a little during the assembly process and accurately install it. After all the parts are ready, the user welded the piece of hardware holding the angle grinder together, assembled the entire structure in rough form, checked all the corners and, making sure that everything was mounted as it should, finally welded the entire structure.

Ivici

The machine is attached to the support table (a piece of slate 1 cm thick) with six self-tapping screws. You can dispense with the return spring, just tighten the axle bolt more tightly. There are no backlashes or distortions when cutting the workpiece. You can also cut at an angle of 45 degrees.

Another homemade machine from an angle grinder was suggested by a portal user with the nickname Bistok.

As usual, at first we start a small construction project or renovation, then we realize that we need new ones Building tools and devices, and then the search begins for the most optimal solution. Well, don't buy it!

Bistok User FORUMHOUSE

I decided to make the stairs out of metal. To avoid defects, backlashes, discrepancies when cutting metal parts Maximum precision is required. Therefore, I decided, using an angle grinder as a basis, to make a sawing machine.

Everything that is usually lying around in the home workshop (and it would be a pity to throw it away) of a zealous owner went into action, waiting for its finest hour. As a stand for a cutting machine Bistok I used an overlock table.

The swivel unit is made from the hub from the “nine”, because it has a bearing.

As in the option described above, the most difficult thing was to “catch” the right angle between the cutting disc and the stop angle. After all, the accuracy of sawing metal depends on this unit.

The end result is clearly demonstrated by the photo below.

To turn on the grinder Bistok I made additional wiring - I brought out a regular switch and socket, and an extension cord comes from this switch.
You can buy a homemade machine from a craftsman you know, but it’s much better to upgrade to a creator of devices of this level!

Bistok

I got a portable machine. I welded a corner to the handle to get 3 support points for the angle grinder. The fastening with two bolts was adjusted to the location. I work only in safety glasses. I am very pleased with the result of the work done. I didn’t buy anything extra to make the machine. The cut is exactly 90°.

Budget drilling machines

In addition to cutting machines, various devices for drilling holes in metal are popular. Starting from stationary drilling machines and ending with devices in which regular drill, as a “driller” of FORUMHOUSE user with the nickname g8o8r8.

g8o8r8 FORUMHOUSE Member

While drilling many holes of the same type in thick metal, in order to relieve my hands, I made a simple device based on a clamp welded to metal support, and a pair of clamps for rigid fixation of the drill. Now drilling a corner or channel has become much easier.

According to the user, drilling 1 hole with a diameter of 4-5 mm takes no more than 30 seconds. Having decided to repeat such a design, you should remember that the load on the drill increases significantly due to the increase in the volume of work. g8o8r8 I've already rebuilt my drill twice.

Also, the user, based on an electric motor, made a small “vertical” machine for drilling holes with a diameter of up to 4 mm in printed circuit boards.

g8o8r8

The long spindle compensates for the inaccuracy of the bearing race groove. For amateur use, this machine is quite suitable. Drilling accuracy remains at an acceptable level.

In case of absence welding machine You can assemble the device you need on the farm using bolted connections.

Hand trowel for concrete

No less important than homemade machines for the home workshop are devices for construction and repair. And we can easily make many construction devices with our own hands.

Anyone who has ever encountered concrete works, knows how difficult it is to smooth freshly laid mixture to perfection. If in small areas you can get by with the rule, then when filling the area in front of the house or parking for a car, ordinary tool not enough. A concrete trowel comes to the rescue, which, due to its long handle (from 3 to 12 m), allows you to smooth concrete onto larger area without stepping on the surface being leveled.

The principle of operation of such a device, somewhat reminiscent of a mop, is simple. There is a working profile (also called a “wing”), attached to a long handle. When moving away from you at the ironer, due to the gearbox, the edge opposite to the user rises. That is, due to the angle of inclination of the “wing”, the trowel glides along the concrete and does not collect it in front of itself. When moving towards you, on the contrary, the side facing the worker is lifted up, and the trowel smoothes the concrete again.

ronik55 FORUMHOUSE Member

I know from personal experience how difficult it is to smooth concrete perfectly. I didn’t want to go and buy it for 10 thousand rubles. As a result, my father made a cheap device for smoothing concrete, practically from garbage - all sorts of unnecessary things.

The following photos clearly demonstrate how this ironer works. Let's take it metallic profile(dimensions depend on the area being smoothed), we weld transverse stiffeners to it, on which, in turn, hinge joints made of pipes are fixed.

Most main element, due to which the angle of elevation of the “wing” changes, this is a rotating gearbox with a chain.

When the handle was rotated, the chain was wound around the pipe, and one edge of the smoother was raised.

Having carried the stroker to the end point, we rotate the handle in reverse side. The chain is wound again, and the edge of the smoother is raised, facing the user.

We pull the ironing iron towards ourselves and repeat all the steps until we finish the job.

ronik55

Due to the “pipe-in-pipe” connection and fixation with a cotter pin, you can increase the length of the handle at your discretion. This design is easy to assemble yourself.

See how to make it yourself (follow the link and you will find a drawing).

Garden sprayer and clamp

It all started with Metamorph it was necessary to treat the area against ticks, and the old manual sprayer had given up its life. Needed to buy urgently new device or find a replacement for him. While preparing for processing and thinking about what could be done, a user of our portal came across an unnecessary fire extinguisher lying around the household.

Next, we proceed as follows - carefully unscrew the fire extinguisher, pour out the remaining powder and rinse the cylinder with water. Instead of a bell, we screw in an adapter into which, depending on the need, you can screw in a nipple (for pumping air) or a nozzle (for spraying the mixture).

Metamorf FORUMHOUSE Member

Using a homemade sprayer is very simple: fill the fire extinguisher halfway with a special spray liquid, then pump it with air, screw on the sprayer and go poison the ticks.

DIY carpentry tools

QWEsad Member FORUMHOUSE

One day I needed to glue together a lot of wooden panels. I didn't have any clamps. Therefore, I decided to quickly assemble a clamp from wooden blocks with a cross-section of 5x5 cm and metal plates with welded nuts in “tens”.

In total, the user made 3 of these wedges; this was enough to glue a wooden board measuring 1.5x1.7 m and 18 mm thick. To prevent the bars from sticking to the workpiece, under those places where there is a seam and glue may protrude, you can put a newspaper or shoot polyethylene with a stapler.

In order not to spoil the workpiece, you need to place a gasket under the plate into which the screw rests. The gluing width is adjusted by moving the stop bar.

In this article we will talk about the manufacturing technology of those tools that are extremely necessary to have in the house. They are used not only during various plumbing or carpentry work, but also for domestic purposes.

Industrial vices – quite simple design from an engineering point of view, the manufacturing technology is also not classified as complex. But companies sell them at a fairly high price, the only real explanation for this situation is the desire to make maximum profits.

We will tell you how you can make a functional tool at home with minimal loss of time.

As for materials, the vast majority can be found at scrap metal collection points. Accordingly, their cost approaches zero.

Step 1. Clamp a piece of thick-walled pipe (thickness is not less thanits 4mm, diameter 150mm andlength 100mm) and a grinder with a discabout metal, cut it into two clear halves.

A little lower in this article we will tell you how to make a simple device for finding the center of round workpieces.This is very important point for the vices we manufacture, if this is not done, additional loads will occur during use.They reduce the compression force and increase risks of mechanical breakdowns vice

Step 2. Prepare reinforced curtains. In time squeezing the lips on them there are significant efforts, in stores T There are no such durable models. Veils are manufactured in several stages.

1. Cut off the metal tube her the length should be equal to the length of the cut large one. Tube diameter not less than 10 mm, wall thickness≥ 1mm.

   

2. Divide the tube into 5– 6 parts, each about a centimeter long, the specific quantity depends of the total width of the vice.Cut carefully, all planes must be made only at an angle of 90°, otherwise the hinges will not work correctly and the jaws will jam when opening/closing.Place the curtains on the metal axlerelevant sizes.

   

3. Weld them to the pipe. For this then clamp the workpiece in a vice andaccurately align the position of the halves.

   

   At first weights need to be fixed on each side ovate through one, the seams must be very strong, control the quality, eliminate gaps.

   

   Sutures should be placed on both sides , after boiling the first, remove the workpiece, open it and secure the bushings on the back side.

   

   

4. Clean workpieces from rust and prepare them for painting.

Step 3. Make sponges. To do this, from a piece of sheet steel should cut out the elements to the appropriate sizes.

Steel thickness is not mless than 10 mm – spongesthey must have enough private strength. To reduce the coefficientslip point buse a grinder to cut strips on them s in the form of a grid.

Step 4. Make two hinges for lips vice. What are they needed for? The fact is that in industrial with kah lips ki move in a straight line , their planes are always about with t are parallel, and in our case when tightenedwhen one of them moves with me in an arc, depending on the race until completely closed, the angle of inclination between them is mgetting married. To lips ki always at the moment of clamping relied in parallel, one of them was wife have the opportunity n Ability to adjust along the axis(swim) . The hinges are manufactured following blowing way.

1. Select a strip of sheet th steel thickness ≈1 mm, length ≈ 50mm, width ≈ 20 mm.
2. Installed in the center wite metal at x axis Ø 5mm, the same rods must be placed on both and m st about ronam.
3. Insert into a vice and squeeze it until it stops. Behind With Even after such inserts the sheet will bend.
4. Cut the strip in half and cut off two hinges.

Step 5. Attach the hinges to one of the jaws. To do this, first weld on both sides axis along the perimeter of the circle, clean the seams. Zat We need to install the axles on the GU bku vice and smooth weld the platforms to it. Again, remove metal stains, cut off excess pieces rods Collect together all the details and check their performance.

At this point, the preparation of the movable jaws is completed; we need to proceed to the clamping mechanism.

This node is much more complex than the one described above. Done adaptation and3 sheets thickness ≈ 5mm, length 170mm, width 130 mm.

Step 1. On the plate, measure two points for drilling holes for the components.

They are located along the axis of symmetry, one at a distance of 70 mm from the edge, the second 25 mm. Take your time, mark with maximum accuracy, every mistake is considered critical th and is not corrected.There will have to be a foundation under mechanism completely redo.

Step 2. Carefully drill holes, drill diameter 4mm.

Between them cut a straight groove.Its width should be slightly larger than the thickness of the plate that subsequently slides in it.

Step 3. Drill two holes in a square, betweenwe also need to cut a groove, dThe length corresponds to the width of the inserted plate.Two such plates are required.

Sawing a through groove

Step 4. Put all the elements together.

Put it on flat surface square, base on it clamping device and a second square on top. In the slots, place the prepared plate with a hole at the top end. Weldinggrab the parts, then assemble them in the vice in reverse order and firmly weld the protruding plate with the hole to the bottom square.

Turn the structure over again and apply welds on this side. You have a debtwives get a mobile unit:two squares slide along the base plate of the mechanism, and a part with a hole is welded to them.

Using a cylindrical grinder, thoroughly clean the seams and, if necessary, strengthen weak points.

Step 5. Prepare another part, the so-called thrust plate. The length is equal to the width of the base of the clamping mechanism, the width is approximately 3 cm. A hole must be made in the center for the clamping bolt.Now you should start assembling the elements.

Step 6. Prepare two ears with holes, each 25mm long, hole diameter 8mm.

Install them on the movable plate of the mechanism on both sides and connect with a bolt.Do not tighten the nut too much, elements must be able swing around an axis.

Step 7. Place the movable jaws close to the parts and weld the knots together.

Watch out so that all axes are parallel or perpendicular depending on the purpose and location of the elements. You should already have an idea of ​​how the vice works; this will help you choose the correct positions for each element.Weld the parts tightly.After cleaning the seams, assemble the vice onto the bolt, again do not tighten too much.

Step 8. Now start making fixed vice assembly. It will require several details:

• two 40x20mm;
• two for the wall 25×20mm;

Metal thickness 2 mm, hole diameter is selecteddepending on the size of the bolt, in our case 6 mm.

WITH pick up the elements: first put on the bolt n b those short ear, then two long ones, and then another short one.

Step 9. Place the long ears at the edge of the clamping mechanism, placing them exactly along the axis of symmetry.Weld them firmly.

Step 10. Mark the location where the vice halves are secured to the short lugs. Fix the elements, disassemble the vice, strengthen all welds.

Step 11. Make a support platform for the screw. For these purposes, it is recommended to use a nut of appropriate thickness. It's welded to the movable square with back side . Weld seam, like Always , is applied around the entire perimeter of the parts. Check slave performance and smoothness, P When tightening/unscrewing the screw, the movement of the parts should be easy and without any jamming. If there are problems, then we need to find and fix them reason. It can be hangnails, metal leaks, slight nervousness.

The vice is completely ready. Paint their surfaces with special paint and after it dries, you can use the tool you made with your own hands.

Center Determinant

The need to find The concept of round parts appears almost always, when for the manufacture of various crafts round blanks are used. To make a fixture school wooden triangle and metal triangle are used protractor.

But this is optional, You can use other blanks, the main thing is that one has a right angle, and the second an even strip.

Step 1. Using a pencil, continue the length of the legs along the hypotenuse.

Use a hacksaw to saw off excess pieces, and clean the cut areas with a file or sandpaper.

Important.Please note that internal lines the legs were perfectly straight, otherwise the center was determined incorrectly.

The part may rest against a protrusion or fall into a recess,in this positionit is impossible to accurately draw diameters, and the center of the circle automatically shifts to one or another station O Ron. In the manufacture of some devices errors can be critical. It is strongly recommended to check the specified requirements with a new triangle after sawing.

Step 2. Cut a semicircular scale from the protractor; for further work you will only need an even strip.

The protractor is made from aluminum alloy 0.3 mm thick, it can be cut without problems with ordinary household scissors.Remove burrs with a file; they are very sharp and can injure your hands when using the device.

Step 3. Install aluminum stripe strictly along the bisector of the triangle.

Bisector – a line dividing an angle exactly in half.We have an angle of 90°, which means that the bisector should be located at an angle of 45°. It's easy to find.Insert the second isosceles right triangle into the workpiece so that its hypotenuse lies on the side. In equilateral right triangles, the angle between the legs and the hypotenuse is 45°, and this is exactly what we needed to find.

Step 4. Closely attach the prepared aluminum strip to the leg of the inserted triangle, aligning it exactly. It is necessary to achieve such a position that one of its edges passes along the corner of the cut one. Thin pencil draw a line.

Step 5. Mark drilling points holes They are required at least three, two do not guarantee reliable fixation strength, which causes the element to move. As a result - errors in center definitions.

Holes can be drilled with a drill or a screwdriver with a drill bit up to 1mm in diameter. No electric tools- no problem. The aluminum alloy is so soft that holes can be poked with the tip of an ordinary nail. As always , after drilling with a file it is necessary take off sharp hangnails. Same holes need to be done in wooden parts as well devices

Step 6. Use small screws to connect the elements into one design Small screws required (great for desktop computer mounts), too large ones will split the thin strip of the triangle.

Practical advice.During connection, constantly monitor the position of the strip, place the second triangle and navigate along the planes.

First, it is recommended to tighten one screw a little, check the position, then second Roy. A little againcorrect. Everything is normal - you can tighten them all the way and install the third one. Use your fingers to press the aluminum strip very firmly against the wooden slats, when twisted, it can change its position. After fixing, you need to check the bisector again.

Assembling the fixture

Step7 . Using scissors, cut off the part protruding beyond the perimeter of the trianglestripes, hangnails grind it down.

Step 8. Remove sharp ones ends of the screws, work with a file carefully, do not allow the connections to loosen.

Step 9 For improvement appearance paint determinant center. Choose your paint carefully.The fact is that part of the device is wooden and part is metal; you need to use only wear-resistant universal paint. Before applying it, it is imperative to degrease the aluminum part. Wipe its surfaces with purified gasoline, acetone or another chemical solvent. Paint can only be applied after completely dry liquids.

This is the manufacturing process finished, ready to use device as intended. How exactly is this done?

1. Paste There is a round piece between the legs of the device. Press it down, it should touch everyone at one point.
2. Turn the device with the reverse side and along the bisector line draw a line.
3. Turn the part a little and repeat follow the above steps. The center of the circle is located at the intersection of the two lines.

We explained the principle manufacturing of fixtures. If you intend to work with large diameter workpieces, t o length t ov should increase.It is not necessary to use factory triangles, you can make them any sizes with my own hands.

The master is not distinguished by greed, which some masters suffer from, who do not want to share their finds with others and, like a dog in the manger, neither to themselves nor to people. And this self-taught inventor came up with a great device with which you will always be at your best and can even improve your standard of living. Why, you can put such a tool into production and sell it to everyone. Maybe this is too strong a word, but it’s worth thinking about automating and mechanizing all routine work at home.

8 tools for craftsmen.

You probably haven't seen many of them. Cool instruments are created by DIYers. These devices will help you work more comfortably in the workshop. The video was filmed on the “Hands from Shoulders” channel.

Folding table for the master

1. Let's start with folding table, which will be an excellent assistant in a small workshop. Will help you save money too small area. The table has a compartment for all small things. Shelf that can be laid out necessary tool. Thanks to a large number holes using a clamp, you can conveniently and quickly fix the workpieces being processed. Stops are inserted into them. It is convenient to fix the parts in a vertical position. If we insert it into the guide bolts, we get additional stops. Having a set of clamps and such a table, you can comfortably perform a variety of jobs.

Homemade folding stand

2. Very original idea folding stand for hand tools. Everyone is in their place. It doesn't take up much space. The design is based on furniture guides. The stand is held in the upper position. Neodymium magnets prevent instruments from falling out of their stocks. Great idea for DIYers who love to do everything with their own hands.

Apple puller

3.Gardeners will be interested in the fruit puller. Its advantage over analogues is that it is absolutely free and easy to manufacture. Not hard to find at all plastic bottle, rope and cut the stick. 5 minutes and you can go for apples.

Homemade apple press

4. If the harvest is large, then the question arises, where to put it? Great option - Apple juice. For store-bought juicers, apples need to be cut and peeled, which is inconvenient. The grater shown below can handle whole apples. All that remains for Dali is to squeeze out the resulting mass under pressure. As a result, we get natural, tasty juice and almost dry cake.

Tool trolley

5. The mobile tool cart is very convenient for the workshop. When, for example, the workbench is littered with parts. Or it doesn't exist at all. After loading everything you need into it, this moment, we get all the tools in one place at hand.

What can you make from an electric planer with your own hands?

6. Another interesting planer design is based on an electric planer. With the help of guides it moves in 2 planes. The movement takes place using an elevator. For precise adjustment, there are rulers on each side of the device.

Grinding device

7. Having a jigsaw, you can get a cool sanding tool. Interestingly, it is not the abrasive that moves, but the workpiece itself.

Cheap homemade grinder

8. The most budget version of the grinder, created by the Samodelkins. Plastic bottles are used as rollers. They are mounted on bearings. The belt on the rollers is adjusted using thumbwheels. The tension is adjusted with a bolt. The structure is driven by a drill. You can slightly improve Samodelkin’s design by replacing plastic bottles with polypropylene tubes.

The self-taught self-made man rocked the network with his video

The self-taught inventor captivated the online community of craftsmen with his video, in which he presented a fundamentally new utility model for improving the efficiency of work for craftsmen and those who like to work in the garage. The best part is that it doesn't require you to buy an idea. And what’s more, you can do all this yourself and even a novice master can handle it. All this is to the benefit of every resident of the cities in which the masters settled, because with such high level mastery, now you won’t want to hammer the walls at home on weekends or rattle some ultra-decibel grinder unknown purpose. With such a device, you can safely create your own separate workshop and live rich life Russian artisan.

Homemade tool rocks the internet

This video shook up the community of invention lovers on the world wide web. The master thought about this idea for years and finally brought to the public discussion an idea that was ingenious in its simplicity and radically profitable for those who used to chisel walls with a hammer drill, realize their inclinations as a woodpecker and a brilliant builder-grinder, and now can make themselves rich for free, working in silence a workshop in a garage or even in a separate building.

And at the same time, you don’t have to spend money and take money saved for beer out of your stash. All this is free - the master loves to show the whole world the useful things he comes up with.

Uprooting of seedlings and weeds from a square for homemade people

Good afternoon My long absence from the channel was not in vain; during this time I managed to do a lot of household chores. And of course, I stocked up on a bunch of homemade products that I will show you, my dear subscribers and guests! There is no point in posting everything at once, because this also takes a lot of time, but if possible I will try to post at least one per day. Not only am I sitting at the computer, I can’t leave my workshop. Messing around in the garden is another hobby of mine; I spent a lot of time there in the summer. Caring for plants and weeding, although a pleasant activity, however, also requires a lot of effort. And how I would like to make a lot easier. Wanting alone is not enough, so you need to make useful things yourself that will make your work easier and make it a pleasure, rather than hard labor with a farmhand.

Today I’ll show you a device that I successfully used almost all spring and summer and will, God willing, last for more than one season. Do-it-yourself uprooter To make it, I took a square with walls 40 by 40 mm, 220 mm long. I didn’t cut this length on purpose, I had a lot of such scraps left over from others construction work.
I drew two oblique lines along the walls to the corner of the square. Having cut it out, it turned out to be such a spear. A pipe with a diameter of 25 mm was welded into the inner part of the angle. From the outside I welded a square right in the middle of the square. Instead of a square, you can weld a square, but it seemed to me that it would be more convenient.
A metal handle was installed in the pipe so that it would not break under load, because the force falls mainly on the handle. When working with a flat cutter, some types of weeds still germinate after a certain time, especially after rains. And having ripped it out by the roots, I eliminated this possibility and my garden became well-groomed and beautiful. Without damaging root system, they can also remove seedlings for replanting, which is what I did at the beginning of the season with strawberries and other plants.

A simple cheap homemade device for picking berries

Gooseberries are a tasty and healthy berry. The plant itself is quite unpretentious and does not require any special care. The berries grow large and are quite convenient to pick. And everything would be fine if it weren’t for the prickly gooseberry branches. Because of these garden “cacti”, previously our hands were constantly in minor scratches. And several times you will think “do you need it - there are so many berries” before you climb deep into the bush for the harvest. But a few years ago my husband made my life easier. He spotted something very simple on the Internet, but useful device for picking berries. What is it used for and how is it useful?

In fact, such a picker can be used not only for collecting gooseberries. I also use it to pick any other berries/fruits. hard to reach places oh, where you can’t easily reach with your hand. For example, to remove plums, cherries or apples from high branches. How to make a device for picking gooseberries? Everything ingenious is simple! Take a plastic bottle and cut a droplet-shaped hole on the side. Depending on what berries/fruits your picker is intended for, this is the diameter of the drop. For gooseberries, 5-7 cm is enough, for apples and plums more, so that you don’t have to aim for a long time and try to hit the fruit. The volume of the bottle will also depend on what you are collecting. For berries would be better suited bottle 0.5 l.

The droplet's nose should be directed toward the bottom of the bottle. You can also make a cut a couple of centimeters in continuation of the spout so that the branch can be better grasped. That's it, our device is ready! We will pick berries by holding it by the neck.

It really is much easier to do this with him. Not only do your hands remain scratch-free, but the work also goes faster. After all, the harvested harvest will be poured into top part bottles. Accordingly, there is no need to “climb out” from the bush after each berry, put the harvest in a can or jar and climb again. Plus, we can get berries even from the most inaccessible places. And the most important thing is that such a device is made in 3 minutes, does not cost a penny, and makes life much easier. If it gets lost or gets dirty, no problem – we’ll do another one without any problems! So, gardeners, take action!
