DIY tool making. Home workshop tools and accessories

Each master seeks to equip his sphere as much as possible, to saturate working space machine tools and accessories. Of great benefit for running a private household are homemade machines and accessories for the home workshop.

Homemade household items and equipment include:

• joinery;
• Workbench;
• stool;
• shelves;
• racks.

Workbench

Workbench dimensions

The height of the countertop surface should be such that the worker can stand up to operate tools and equipment. The owner of the workshop determines the height of the workbench himself - according to his height. The height of the worktable ranges from 75 cm to 80 cm.

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

Workbench material

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

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

Build options wooden workbench different, but in one thing they are the same - the structure of the table must be stable and withstand static and dynamic loads.

If the surface of the workbench will be exposed to accidental influences from cutting and sharp tools, then the tabletop is upholstered with tin or a metal sheet is placed on top.

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

The base frame and table legs are welded from a steel corner and a strip. For auxiliary parts, reinforcement segments are used.

The table top is made from sheet metal, 8 - 12 mm thick. A thick sheet will significantly increase the weight of the workbench, making it difficult to move.

Stool



It is quite simple to make a stool with your own hands:

1. 4 supports are made of 40 x 40 mm timber, 50 cm long.
2. Legs in the middle of the length are fastened with crossbars.
3. In the supports, grooves are made with a chisel.
4. At the ends of the transverse strips, projections are cut out with a chisel to fit the grooves.
5. The protrusions are lubricated with wood glue and inserted into the grooves.
6. While the glue dries, the supports are tightened with a belt.
7. Sitting 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 the shelf hinges can be put on them.

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

Racks

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

Vertical tool holders

Each craftsman strives to organize his own workplace so that the tools are within arm's reach. This is facilitated by the vertical holders.

Wrench holder

1. A wooden plank is attached to the wall above the workbench. The rail is screwed 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 a rail.
4. The nail heads hold the keys horizontally and vertically.

Screwdriver holder

1. In a 40 x 40 mm piece of timber, 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 nests obtained. Now you can quickly get the right tool without leaving your workplace.

Chisel belt

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 will do.
3. On one side, the springs leave a 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 ø 4 mm through hole is drilled into the base.
7. On the back of the board, the hole is drilled with a large drill - under the screw head.
8. The screw is threaded from bottom to top.
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 the size of a cup for candles or similar products.
11. A chisel makes a selection of wood in 3 grooves.
12. Cups are inserted into the openings, which are filled with solder, tin and a napkin for cleaning the tip.
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. At the end of the cord, a clamp is fixed, with which various parts for soldering are fixed.

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

The easiest 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. Here are some examples of how to make a simple mousetrap:

Plastic funnel

Cut plastic 3 liter bottle in half. The cut neck is turned over and inserted into lower part bottles. Bait is poured onto 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 structure is a tipping platform. It is made from a piece of cardboard or plastic. The bar is placed on a plane so that half of it 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, knocks over the bar and falls with it into the bucket that has been substituted.

Suspension

They put an empty one 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 from a paper clip. The other end of the cord is tied to some kind of support.

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

Metal loop mini vise

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

In both flaps, the hinges are drilled matching holes.

A bolt of a suitable diameter is threaded through them. On the other hand, a wing nut is screwed onto the bolt thread. Parts are inserted into the opening between the flaps and clamped by tightening the nut. The device can be used as a clamp.

Portable beer crate

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

Instruments

• jigsaw;
• saw on wood;
• grinder;
• drill screwdriver;
• drill;
• hammer;

• strips from the fruit box - 5 pcs.;
• handle ø 36 mm and length 350 mm;
• stain;
• screws;
• nails.

Step-by-step instructions for assembling the box

1. The edged board is sawn into three identical parts (bottom and two sidewalls), each 350 mm long.
2. Two boards are cut with a jigsaw so that from their middle the sidewalls taper and end with an oval top.
3. Drilled in the tops of the sidewalls feather drill holes ø 36 mm.
4. All wooden parts are cleaned with a sander with an emery wheel. The handle is sanded by hand with emery.
5. 4 holes are drilled with a thin drill along the edges of the bottom. From below, the nests of the holes are countersinked.
6. The sides are installed on the sides of the bottom. Screws are screwed in from the bottom of the bottom. The screw heads "hide" in the hole slots.
7. Two strips are nailed to the sides with studs on each side of the box. They will become a vertical bottle guard.
8. In three slats, cuts are made so that by folding them, you get a crate with square openings for glass containers.
9. The crate is laid on the bottom between the sidewalls.
10. Carnations are nailed in those places where the ends of the crate rest against the sidewalls and guardrails.
11. A shank of ø 36 mm is threaded into the holes of the tops of the sidewalls.
12. Driving in 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 can easily accommodate 6 bottles of beer or other drink. The crate and railings of the box will prevent bottles from breaking or falling out during transport.

Hammer modernization

A frequent occurrence is loss wooden handle from the socket of the hammer. One way to create reliable fastening handles - cut into the upper end of the handle. The holder is inserted into the socket of the hammer. The kerf 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. Magnetic nails will always be at hand for the worker.
It is dangerous to accidentally fall out of the hand at a height. To prevent this from happening, a hole is drilled in the handle through which the cord is threaded. The employee's belt is threaded into the loop.
