Making a tool with your own hands. Tools and fixtures for the home workshop

Each master seeks to equip his sphere as much as possible, to saturate working space machine tools and fixtures. Great benefits for private farming homemade machines and accessories for the home workshop.

Among the home-made household crafts and equipment are:

• joinery;
• Workbench;
• stool;
• shelves;
• shelving.

Workbench

Workbench dimensions

The height of the worktop surface should be such that the worker can operate tools and equipment while standing. The owner of the workshop determines the height of the workbench himself - according to his height. The height of the desktop ranges from 75 cm to 80 cm.

The size of the countertop is determined by the area utility room. The table should not interfere with the free passage around it.

workbench material

Tree
Often used wooden table. The workbench is made of timber and boards. The legs of the table are fastened with diagonal crossbars for reliability.

The tabletop is made in the form of a shield from knocked down boards with pieces of timber. The shield is supported on the legs of the table and fastened with nails or screws. Connection details are made of steel corner.

Assembly Options wooden workbench different, but in one they are the same - the design of the table must be stable and withstand static and dynamic loads.

If the surface of the workbench is exposed to accidental exposure to cutting and sharp tools, then the countertop is upholstered with tin or a metal sheet is placed on top.

Metal
The most robust construction desktop is a workbench welded from a metal profile. Manufacturing welded product implies the presence of a welding machine and experience with it.

The support frame and table legs are welded from a steel angle and strip. For auxiliary parts, pieces of reinforcement are used.

The tabletop is made from sheet metal, thickness 8 - 12 mm. A thick sheet will significantly increase the weight of the workbench, which makes it difficult to move it.

Stool



Making a stool with your own hands is quite simple:

1. From a bar 40 x 40 mm make 4 supports, 50 cm long.
2. The legs in the middle of the length are fastened with crossbars.
3. Grooves are made in the supports with a chisel.
4. At the ends of the transverse planks with a chisel, protrusions are cut to fit the grooves.
5. The protrusions are lubricated with carpentry glue and inserted into the grooves.
6. While the glue dries, the supports are pulled together with a belt.
7. The seat is cut out circular saw from wide board 30 mm thick.
8. A seat measuring 300 x 300 mm is nailed or screwed to the legs of the stool.

Shelves

Shelves are made of board, chipboard or MDF. They are open or with side walls. For fasteners, hinged furniture hinges are used.

Holes are drilled in the wall into which dowels are driven. The screws are not completely screwed into the dowels so that they can be put on the hinges of the shelf.

The hinges are screwed to the back of the shelf. The shelves are hung on the wall, putting the hinges on the heads of the screws.

Shelving

Racks are a whole complex of shelves different sizes. They are good to make from chipboard. The lattice structure is supported on a pedestal or simply placed on the floor. For the stability of the rack, corners are screwed to the sides of the furniture. Free shelves of corners with holes are nailed to the wall with dowels.

Vertical tool holders

Every craftsman seeks to organize his own workplace so that the tools are at arm's length. This is facilitated by vertical holders.

Wrench holder

1. A wooden plank is attached to the wall above the workbench. The rail is screwed with screws into the dowels installed in advance.
2. Small nails are driven into the bar at intervals equal to the width of the wrench handles.
3. The keys are hung on the rail.
4. Nail heads hold the keys in a horizontal and vertical plane.

Screwdriver holder

1. In a piece of timber 40 x 40 mm, holes are drilled corresponding to the diameters of the screwdrivers, at a distance of 30 - 40 mm from each other.
2. A piece of timber is nailed to the wall with dowels so that the holes are vertical.
3. Screwdrivers are inserted into the resulting nests. Now you can quickly get the right tool without leaving the workplace.

Belt for chisels

1. The plank is fastened with dowels to the wall.
2. The belt or belt is nailed to the bar with studs so that peculiar through pockets are obtained.
3. Chisels are lowered into the pockets, through which only steel blades pass. The handles are held with a belt.

You can hold hammers, pliers, pliers and other tools in the fixture.

Homemade soldering iron stand

When working with a soldering iron, a situation arises when you need to put the tool down. Putting a soldering iron with a red-hot tip on a countertop or on any object is always risky. Homemade stand will solve this problem.

An example of making a stand for a soldering iron

1. The holder is made of wire in the form of a spiral. To do this, unbend a wire hanger for clothes.
2. The wire is wound on a cylindrical object with a diameter of 1.5 - 2 cm. The handle of a chisel or other tool is suitable.
3. On one side, the springs leave the free end of the wire.
4. The end is bent with round-nose pliers into a loop.
5. For the base of the stand, take a board 200 x 100 x 20 mm.
6. A through hole ø 4 mm is drilled in the base.
7. On the back side of the board, a hole is drilled with a large drill - under the screw head.
8. The screw is threaded from the bottom up.
9. A spring loop is put on the screw and the nut is tightened.
10. In the board, circles are cut out with a crown to fit the size of a cup for candles or similar products.
11. With a chisel, wood is sampled in 3 recesses.
12. Cups are inserted into the openings, which are filled with solder, tin and a napkin to clean the sting.
13. The soldering iron is inserted into the spring.
14. A small hole is made in the board for attaching a flexible steel cord from the lamp.
15. A clamp is fixed at the end of the cord, which fixes various parts for soldering.

The design may have a different look - it all depends on the imagination and ingenuity of the author.

The simplest mousetrap in the world

This name can be assigned to many homemade mousetraps, invented by craftsmen. They are united by one thing - this is the humane treatment of animals that have fallen into a trap. The device does not kill the animal, but isolates it. A few examples of how to make a simple mousetrap:

plastic funnel

Cut plastic 3 liter bottle in half. The cut off neck is turned over and inserted into lower part bottles. Bait is poured at the bottom (seeds, grain, etc.).

The trap is placed close to an object on which the mouse could climb. The rodent, having fallen into the funnel, can no longer get out of the bottle.

Console

The design is a tilting platform. It is made from a piece of cardboard or plastic. The bar is placed on a plane so that its half hangs in the air.

The bait is placed on the edge of the console so that the bar is on the verge of balance. The animal, having reached the bait, overturns the bar and falls with it into the substituted bucket.

Suspension

An empty one is placed on the edge of the table. plastic bottle with bait at the bottom. A cord is attached to the neck by piercing the plastic with a crochet hook from a paper clip. The other end of the cord is tied to a support.

The mouse, attracted by the smell of food, enters the container. The bottle capsizes under the weight of the rodent and hangs on a cord.

Mini metal loop vise

When performing small operations, it is often necessary to clamp small parts. To do this, use a mini vise made from a one-piece door hinge.

In both wings, the hinges drill matching holes.

They are threaded with a bolt of suitable diameter. On the other hand, a wing nut is screwed onto the thread of the bolt. The parts are inserted into the opening between the wings and clamped by tightening the nut. The device can be used as a clamp.

Portable beer box

A box for drinks in a glass container is a convenient device for carrying several bottles at once in a country house or a picnic. To make such a box with your own hands, you will need the following tools and materials:

Tools

• jigsaw;
• saw on wood;
• grinder;
• drill driver;
• drill;
• hammer;
• chisel;
• pen drill.

materials

• edged board - 1050 x 170 x 15 mm;
• planks from the fruit box - 5 pcs.;
• handle ø 36 mm and length 350 mm;
• stain;
• screws;
• nails.

Drawer assembly step by step instructions

1. The edged board is sawn into three identical parts (bottom and two sidewalls), 350 mm long.
2. Two boards are cut with an electric jigsaw so that from their middle the sidewalls narrow and end with an oval top.
3. At the tops of the sidewalls they drill pen drill holes ø 36 mm.
4. All wooden parts are cleaned with a grinder with an emery wheel. The stalk is sanded by hand with sandpaper.
5. With a thin drill, 4 holes are drilled along the edges of the bottom. From below, the nests of the holes are countersinked.
6. Sidewalls are installed on the sides of the bottom. Screws are screwed in from below. The heads of the screws "hide" in the sockets of the holes.
7. Two planks are nailed to the sidewalls with carnations on each side of the box. They will become a vertical fence for bottles.
8. Cuts are made in three planks so that when they are folded, a crate with square openings for glass containers is obtained.
9. The crate is laid on the bottom between the sidewalls.
10. Carnations are nailed in those places where the ends of the crate abut against the sidewalls and enclosing strips.
11. A handle ø 36 mm is threaded into the holes of the tops of the sidewalls.
12. Driving nails at an angle, fasten the sidewalls with the handle.
13. The entire surface of the box is treated with stain.

The box is ready for use. The portable container freely fits 6 bottles of beer or other drink. The crate and railings of the box will not allow the bottles to break or fall out while being carried.

Hammer upgrade

A frequent occurrence is wooden handle from the hammer socket. One way to create reliable fastening handles - a cut is made at the upper end of the handle. The holder is inserted into the hammer socket. The cut is filled with Moment glue. A wooden wedge is driven into the groove.

In order not to look for nails during work, and even more so not to hold them with your teeth, a round magnet is glued into the hammer handle from below. Nails on a magnet will always be at hand of the worker.
It is dangerous to accidentally drop a hammer from a hand at a height. To prevent this from happening, a hole is drilled in the handle through which the cord is threaded. The worker's belt is threaded into the loop.

Homemade tools and machines

Homemade tools

Wood processing is very popular in the household. In high-quality homemade tools for the workshop, first of all, a workbench will enter. It must fit the person in height. Its lid is at the level of bent palms. If it is necessary to raise it, bars of a certain thickness are placed on the dowels below.

The newest workbench

A standard workbench is made from a lid with different vise. This design is needed to create products with your own hands. She doesn't work well with electrical appliances due to the fact that the workpieces are sometimes difficult to fix. You can purchase a new compact workbench MASTER cut 1000 worth 12 thousand rubles, which must be folded. You can put on it hand tools: circular saw, jigsaw or router. But then it will need to be redone. The Festool MFT 3 workbench has excellent characteristics. However, the price of 30 thousand rubles makes you think. The master can easily do homemade tools for home workshop operating at the same level.

• To make a workbench, you will need quality plywood without knots. The thickness must be at least twenty mm. Attached on it from below electric jigsaw, it will be possible to saw boards and small bars along, across, at an angle, and also to make complicated curved profiles. Devices perform auxiliary functions of circular and band saws.
• First, a tabletop is created. A groove is cut in it in the form of an arc to install a guide that can be changed at any angle. A slotted guide is also created under the jigsaw. Its width is determined by the size of the sole of the device.
• It is worth making sides from plywood and attaching them to the countertop to give full rigidity. The legs of the workbench are made from a bar. You can make a metal frame, and then attach the countertop to it with screws. Then the design will come out light and strong. The guides at the bottom are attached to the countertop with special nuts for furniture.
• The jigsaw is placed on the bottom of the workbench cover, as if upside down. Only the file will remain visible from above. For ease of use of the jigsaw, an auxiliary switch is placed. The guide should also be quickly removed so that you can safely replace the saw of the fixture. For easy access to the lower part, the tabletop can be made folding, on hinges.
• The workbench takes up little space and can even be placed at home. To do this, it is made foldable so that you can safely disassemble and carry it into a closet or pantry.

Device for giving

To work on suburban area or in country house Need a quality workbench. The tabletop is made of a thick board up to two meters long. It will not be superfluous if it is fixed a little more with self-tapping screws. At the bottom, along the perimeter, the tabletop is sheathed with timber. The legs of the table are made in the form of a square section 120 by 120 mm. They can be buried in the ground or attached to a reinforced concrete base. The entire structure must be treated with an antiseptic, in addition, it is covered with drying oil.

When the workbench is installed, do-it-yourself devices are mounted on it: guides, devices for fastening workpieces and electric tools.

pipe bender

In the household, you need to have a tool in order to bend metal pipes. Simple pipe bender this is a steel plate with welded pins. By inserting a workpiece between them, it can be bent at the desired angle. Such simple devices the pipe is crumpled at the bends. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to completely fill the pipe with sand. Heating can also help. blowtorch which all masters have.

Excellent selection of accessories technical installations created by the minds and hands of craftsmen. The time in which we live is developing rapidly, and thanks in large part to ordinary people who have creative thinking and are a little lazy and seeking to save energy, money and time. If we could also provide them with a decent budget, they would advance civilization and accelerate evolution.
A selection of devices that will come in handy in the workshop

This collection contains a lot of interesting and useful things. I am sure that many of the ideas shown in the video will be useful to craftsmen or suggest a train of thought for their own invention.

Thanks to the rotation of the mesh drum, the process is greatly facilitated and accelerated. Video with all the ideas at the end of the publication.
