Homemade machines for the home workshop. Tools for the home workshop – what should always be at hand? Portable beer box

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. It will help save an already 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. It is not at all difficult to find a plastic bottle, a rope and cut a 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. By loading everything you need at the moment into it, you get the entire tool in one place at hand.

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

6. Another one interesting design surface planer - 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. Used as rollers plastic bottles. 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 around with some ultra-decibel grinding machine of 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.

“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. Section on FORUMHOUSE about homemade machines and devices, which is called as such, 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

Workshop machines are always in demand, but angle grinders Grinder), popularly “grinder”, one of the favorites in the arsenal of any 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 angle grinders with bolts to the threaded holes intended for installing the 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. When cutting the workpiece there are no backlashes or distortions. 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, first we start a small construction project or remodel, then we realize that we need new construction tools and equipment, 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 above option, the most difficult thing was to “catch” the right angle between cutting disc and a stubborn corner. 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 made additional wiring - brought it out regular switch and a socket, and from this switch there is an extension plug.
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 similar holes in thick metal, in order to relieve my hands, I made a simple device based on a clamp welded to a metal support and a pair of clamps to firmly fix 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 your 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 on small areas you can get by with the rule, then when filling the area in front of the house or parking lot, 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 over a 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, rather than collecting 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.

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 units 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. There was an urgent need to buy a new device or find a replacement for it. 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 FORUMHOUSE Member

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 frame from wooden blocks with a section of 5x5 cm and metal plates with welded “tens” nuts.

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.

With the help of these devices you can easily realize what you have in mind. IN Once again we present homemade devices, which were created by our readers. We hope you choose what you need useful device and it will help you.

How to Sand Edges with a Random Sander
My passion for carpentry led me to become a furniture restorer. This delicate work often requires me to sand the edges of small parts. So I turned a regular random orbital sander into table machine using several scraps of MDF board. The longest part was to accurately fit the contours of the cutout to the neck of the grinder body; I did the rest quickly. The machine is inserted into the clamp, secured with a bolt and you can start grinding.

(Click and enlarge)

It only takes a couple of minutes to get the machine into or out of the clamp. But I rarely take it out of the device.

Convenient stand for turning tools
When turning, you have to change tools often, but it’s not so easy to immediately find the right one among the clutter and mountains of chips. I cannot allocate space in my workshop for a permanent large stand with cutters, and this solution occurred to me.

(Click and enlarge)

I made a holder box for turning tools. A simple L-shaped hook fits onto the roller of the telescopic folding support. When necessary, I install it next to the machine and adjust the height for comfortable work. When the work is completed, the box with the cutters is hung on the wall, held in place by a hook.

Another way to use a Japanese hacksaw
I've experienced everything possible methods trimming excess thin veneer edges, from factory jigs to razor blades, from planes to sanding blocks. But with none of them I could not ensure that chips or cracks did not appear on the veneer.

Finally I decided to use a Japanese hacksaw with a backing board pressed against the edge of the shelf. The free edge of the veneer was easily removed without chips, cracks or peeling, and I quickly smoothed out barely noticeable irregularities with a sanding block.

The linings on the jaws of pipe clamps are held by magnets
I have clamps in my arsenal different types, but for gluing big projects I prefer to use pipe ones. These clamps have a significant drawback: they are difficult to hold in place when adjusting the position of the jaws. This is inconvenient when the parts lie horizontally, and gluing vertical parts turns into real torture. I finally managed to solve the problem by making magnetic covers on the jaws of the clamps.

To make them, I cut 50x50mm squares from 6mm plywood and drilled a 12x3mm counterbore in the center of each one. All that remains is to glue the rare earth magnets epoxy glue. The pads are securely held on the jaws of the clamps, and they can be stored on any steel surface available in the workshop.

Circular fixture for milling table
Having cut out band saw round blank for the seat, you need to clean the edges and maintain the shape of the correct circle. To do this, it is worth making a simple adaptation to the milling table.

First, select a slot in the router table cover that is perpendicular to the front edge and in line with the router bit. Then, according to the dimensions of this groove, make a slider from scrap hardwood. Insert it into the groove and mark the radius of the workpiece on it, measuring from the blades of the installed cutter, and drill a hole in this place for the axial pin (its role is played by a nail with a bitten off head).

Then, on the back of the workpiece, make an axial hole in the center. Place the workpiece on the axial pin and move it towards the cutter. With the router turned on, feed the workpiece forward and rotate it 360° to remove any saw marks on the edges.

D la rational use space, communications and do-it-yourself garage accessories from scrap materials are used. It is necessary to involve walls, an underground level in the process, place it indoors, and organize normal lighting.

Homemade gadgets for the garage

For comfortable operation of a room intended for car storage, you should adhere to certain recommendations:

Storage areas, racks, workbenches

In 80% of cases, do-it-yourself garage fixtures are built to store accessories, tools, and vehicle equipment. It should be taken into account that the most bulky parts of the car are sets of winter/summer tires, depending on the season.

It is more convenient to store wheels on brackets of the following design:

• two triangular frames from a corner, connected by jumpers from any rolled metal;
• triangles are attached to the wall, wheels are installed perpendicularly load-bearing structure, slightly falling between the jumpers.

The main nuances of these designs are:

The width of the pit should allow the driver to enter it without lighting.

Lighting and ventilation

More often used in garages parallel circuits lighting fixtures. One lamp allows you to use a specific area, several devices are turned on during a major renovation or a visit to the cellar. Minimum consumption electricity is provided. Daylighting devices have a greater resource.

Cars use toxic, harmful fuels and lubricants, so do-it-yourself garage ventilation devices that allow you to create air exchange are becoming relevant. The influx is organized from below:

• garage - vents in the masonry, protected by bars;
• cellar - pipe from the garage or from the street.

The hood is mounted under the ceiling of the cellar, the roof of the garage, or has the form of vents in the main walls at the highest points.

Other useful ideas

Useful accessories for the garage with your own hands can be made from used dishes, equipment, and materials left over from construction. For example, by gluing the lids plastic cans horizontally/vertically, the owner receives convenient transparent dishes for equipment or hardware, which is always at hand.

Homemade machines

You can also assemble accessories for the garage from power tools:

• drilling - a drill fixed with clamps in a device that moves with a gear along a rack;

• cutting - an angle grinder clamped in a similar way with equipment for metal or wood;

The advantage of the machines is more accurate positioning of the equipment relative to the workpiece. The equipment turns out to be dismountable, the drill and angle grinder can be removed and used for their intended purpose.

Hydropress

The simplest design is obtained from a car hydraulic jack. To press out/press in bearings and press/compress parts, you will need to build a frame and a removable movable stop. The frame consists of 4 channels welded to each other. At the top, the structure is reinforced with stiffening ribs (kerchiefs), and at the bottom, transverse corners are added, giving the frame stability.

The stop is pulled up in the normal position to top crossbar frames with powerful springs. A hydraulic jack is installed between them, pressing the stop against the lower crossbar of the frame as necessary. The press force is regulated by a jack, dimensions working area are selected depending on the size of the workpieces.

Excellent selection of tools and technical installations, created by the minds and hands of craftsmen. The times in which we live are rapidly developing, and largely thanks to ordinary people who have creative thinking and are a little lazy and strive to save energy, money and time. If only they could be provided with a decent budget, they would advance civilization and speed up evolution.
A selection of devices that will be useful 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 will prompt a line 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 post.

2. Use of a tractor wheel as a winch unit for lifting construction loads.


These and other inventions on the AT channel video

A selection of homemade tools

This is indeed a very good selection. homemade instruments and machines and practical advice, which will be useful to any master and ordinary person. The special advantage of these devices is that their implementation does not require much time or great skill. Everyone will find something that is useful to them. Although the author of the video indicated 14 stories about devices, in reality there are many more.
Let's show two tricks first, the rest are in the video at the end of the publication.

1. No need to buy a knife sharpener for the kitchen.

Screw two lighter wheels onto the block. And the device is ready!

A few movements and the knife is razor sharp!

2. A device for stripping cables from a clothespin and a pencil sharpener

Removing the insulation from a TV cable has become easy

These and more than 20 other wonderful tricks and machines are on the video of the “5-Minute Crafts” channel. It's worth finding out. The author tried his best.

Thank you for watching! Good luck!

These devices will be useful for speed and quality of work.

1. To avoid crawling on your knees while tiling, the master came up with a mobile seat.

This is a prefabricated structure that is convenient to transport or move from one site to another. It comes together in a couple of minutes. Electricians will also like the idea. The ideas behind the design can be applied to the design of seats for other types of work, for example, for working in garden beds.

2. A bucket for grouting joints during tile laying work.

The master proposes a Chinese approach - to adopt an idea that was implemented in factories and do the same thing with your own hands at an order of magnitude cheaper. What is sold in stores for 2,000 rubles can be made for 115 rubles and, in addition, a grater made from a composite panel for 150 rubles.

There are holes in the panel. The pallet allows you not to raise the dregs.

3. A mixer, with which it is much easier and faster to mix concrete than with a shovel

4. Third hand with clamping pliers for working with small parts

All this and other devices are in the video “Hands from Shoulders”.

Thank you for watching!

Device for a workbench made of fabric for metal

Sometimes a simple and even primitive action can solve many everyday routine problems. Make a simple device for a workbench or any other work table in the workshop from an old or new hacksaw blade in 5 minutes.

Take the canvas and attach it to the edge of the table from the end with the teeth up and secure it on both sides with screws.

Please note that there is a washer between the table and the canvas.

That's all. The device is ready for use. With its help you can trim skins or other similar materials. The device copes well with electrical tape or adhesive tape.
