Self-made adaptations for the workshop. Homemade tool

To maintain a comfortable and comfortable home, requires sophisticated technology. It greatly facilitates domestic work, but its maintenance requires certain skills and knowledge. Not everyone knows all the possibilities of modern tools and they do not use them fully. If you change them a little, you can get comfortable self-made adaptations for the workshop.

If you gradually acquire models of popular brands, they will prove to be long-lasting and reliable assistants. In addition, devices are needed to arrange and secure the workpieces during processing. At the dacha it will be a joiner's workbench.

As the inventory of the home master is accumulated, it should be sorted into groups:

• Locksmith and carpentry tools;
• Devices;
• Electrical equipment.

All accommodation allows the devices themselves: racks, drawers and cabinets. Maintaining the inventory in a clean and orderly manner makes it possible to create a comfortable environment for work and ensure a long-term preservation of tools.

Homemade woodworking tools

Wood processing is most common in the household. In useful self-made adaptations for the workshop, the workbench comes first. It should be comfortable in height. Its lid is located at the level of bent hands. If you want to raise it, from the bottom on the dowels set the bars of the desired thickness.

Manufacturing of a modern workbench

The classic workbench consists of a cover with front and rear vise. This design is more suitable for manual operation. It is poorly adapted to work with power tools due to the fact that the workpieces can be difficult to fix. You can buy a modern compact workbench MASTER cut 1000 worth 12 thousand rubles, which is added. On it it is possible to establish manual tools: a circular saw, a jig saw and a milling cutter. But then it will have to be altered. Good characteristics are the bench Festool MFT 3. However, the price of 30 thousand rubles makes you think. The master will be able to make self-made adaptations for the home workshop, working no worse.

To make a workbench, you need smooth plywood without knots. The thickness should be at least 20 mm. Installed on the bottom of the jigsaw, you can saw the boards and small bars along, across, at an angle, as well as complex curvilinear profiles. The tool performs additional functions of circular and band saws.

First, the top is made. It cuts an arc-shaped groove to install a guide for workpieces, which can be mounted at any angle. A guide with a slot is also made under the jigsaw. Its width is chosen according to the size of the tool's sole.

From the plywood, you need to cut out the sides and glue them to the table top to give it stiffness. The legs of the workbench are made from a bar. You can make a metal frame, and then attach the tabletop to it with screws. Then the design will be light and strong. Guides from below are attached to the table top with furniture nuts.

The jig saw is installed from the bottom of the bench cover - "upside down". Only the saw remains visible from above. For the convenience of using the jigsaw, an additional switch is installed. The guide should also be easily removed so that the saw can be easily replaced. For easy access to the underside, the table top can be folded, hinged.

The workbench takes up little space and can be installed even at home. To do this, it is made foldable so that it can be easily dismantled and removed into a closet or a storage room.

How to make a workbench for a summer residence

To work at a dacha or in a country house you need a powerful workbench. The table top is made of thick edged boards up to 2 m long. It will not be superfluous if it is additionally fixed with screws. From the bottom along the perimeter the table top is lined with a bar. The legs of the table make a square section of 120x120 mm. They can be buried in the ground or attached to a reinforced concrete base. The entire structure is treated with an antiseptic and covered with linseed oil.

When the workbench is installed, the devices are mounted on it with their own hands: guides, fixing devices for workpieces and electric tools.

How to make a pipe bender with your own hands

In the subsidiary farm, it is necessary to have a device for bending metal pipes and profiles. The simplest homemade tool for bending pipes up to 20 mm in diameter is a steel plate with welded pins. Inserting the workpiece between them, it can be bent to the desired curvature. In such simple devices, the pipe crumples in place of the fold. To prevent this from happening, we must fill the pipe with sand. It will also be helped by its heating with a blowtorch, which any master has.

To improve the quality of bending, 2 profiled rollers and a locking element are used instead of the pins. You can also make a special profile from the steel corner and plate and fix it on a workbench with a solid base. In the picture, the structure is attached directly to the boards. You can make it portable by mounting on a steel sheet and fixing the table top. Then the pipe benders, which are rarely used, will not interfere with carpentry. A portable device, like other self-made appliances for a workshop, can be used in a garage. There it is convenient to fasten, and it can be needed not only for pipes.

Self-made circular saw

Brand machines have great prices, and a homemade tool for a home workshop is quite suitable for a private user. It can be a circular saw made on the basis of hand-held, cheaper models.

The workbench for the circular should be stable. On the tabletop fasten the frame with a slot for the disk. The material is best suited sheet metal or solid wood, capable of withstanding heavy loads. It has a small thickness, which makes it possible to use most of the disk and saw products of sufficient thickness. In addition, the tool itself is attached to the frame and a tool for machine tools. The guide bar is made sliding on a steel or aluminum skid, or fixed with clamps.

The hand saw is installed from the bottom of the table top on the frame. You can also use a grinder or a drill, but they are not as effective and do not allow you to use the entire working area of the disk. Mounting can be any, if only it was reliable.

When working with a circular saw, remember that it has high speed and must comply with safety regulations.

Homemade Archery Saw

Homemade woodworking tools can be very simple, but effective. Among them is the bow saw. A thin canvas makes it possible to cut a large log quickly. It can easily be replaced with a new one when the saw is blunt. A circular saw can be made independently of 3 slabs of solid wood. Two handles with cuts at the ends are joined in the middle by a cross bar with the help of the connection "spike-socket". In the slot, a canvas is inserted and fixed with two nails. On the other hand, it is pulled with a rope loop, thrown over the handles and swirled with a collar.

How to sharpen a knife

Hand grips for knives are more effective, since a strong cutting edge is obtained. To facilitate the process, a self-made device is widely distributed. It is a rod with a bar clamp, a base for fixing the knife and a rack for adjusting the installation angle. With the reciprocating movement of the bar with the bar attached to it, the blade is sharpened. The abrasive surface is clamped to the blade only when moving from the heel to the point. Slightly changing the design of the base for sharpening knives, you can also edit the blades of carpentry tools.

Homemade Garage Accessories

Garage is not only a place to hide the car, but also a workshop where you can store tools and perform repair work.

Shelves and shelving

The order in the garage is provided by the equipment. To do this, make a rack, which is usually placed on top. Then he will not interfere with the movement inside. A small workbench is installed from below to work, in which tools are also stored. It is most convenient to have everything near the back wall of the garage. Then the side passages will be free.

The viewing pit is laid out with a brick or casted with concrete, and then closed with a lid so that it does not interfere with the passage.

Puller manufacturing

Usual work with the car is made using a standard set of tools. The craftsmen make special equipment. A puller is often required to tighten the bearings. The most convenient is a three-valve design. A standard device may not be enough. If you make a puller with your own hands, it will last for many years.

Small devices are made of steel sheet thickness of 10 mm. It makes a pattern of patterns and cuts the gas cuts. They are processed on an abrasive machine, adjusting the dimensions. The core is turned on a lathe from a round bar, the paw holders are welded, threaded for the wrenches are cut and holes are drilled. The feet are held on bolts with a diameter of 8-10 mm.

The work of making a stripper requires skills to work with many tools. You may need helpers here. A convenient solution is to produce the removable legs of the desired configurations, which can be changed on the product purchased in the store.

Conclusion

Self-made adaptations for the workshop allow solving many problems in the home and subsidiary farm with minimal effort and expense.
