To make your own sealing gaskets from cardboard, paronite, rubber and other materials, sometimes you need a punch to make even, neat holes. Such a tool is not difficult to make with your own hands. Its production

It is possible to assemble metal structures from profile pipes without welding. There are many ways to connect them, which, although more complex to implement, are quite worthwhile. For small volumes of work, it is better to tinker longer than to spend money on welding

The grinder is a universal tool, but there are limitations in its use. By equipping it with various attachments, functionality and security can be expanded even further. Make such a device for it, and your angle grinder will replace the emery.

A scriber (scriber or Scriber) is a tool for marking metal surfaces. Such products of various designs are produced by industry and in terms of quality they differ greatly. To avoid wasting money, you can

To weld one pipe into the second at an angle of 45 degrees, you need to make a concave end trim. The markings for it are very complex. The proposed method will allow you to do it smoothly and as quickly as possible.

To knit neat and reliable wire clamps, you need a special clamp tool. It can be made from a non-working water tap. This is an easy-to-make homemade product that will serve you well for many years.

You can buy an expensive organizer container to store your tools, but it can be difficult to carry. What could be used to make a container not only for storage, but also for transportation from place to place?

Loft or industrial style appeared recently, but has already firmly established itself in interior design, including houses and apartments. Its features are shown below using the example of a door handle. Let's make it from periodic profile reinforcement and two pieces

Today we’ll talk about metal etching.Namely, we will apply a pattern to the knife. And of course, a blank on which we will etch the drawing. Using the method that I will discuss below, you can apply a pattern of any complexity to metal. But for the first time,

If it is necessary to weld pipes at an angle, the end of one of them must be rounded inward, which is not at all easy. There are many templates that allow you to make markings and then cut using them. The proposed device makes it possible

The broken grinder has a gearbox that can be used to assemble various crafts.Due to the gear ratio, it makes simple mechanisms more productive. One of the successful ways to use it is to make it manually.

The functionality of the angle grinder can be expanded by connecting various attachments to it. As a result, it will be possible to obtain full-fledged metalworking machines at a low cost. Let's look at 2 designs of attachments for grinders that you can make with your own hands without welding.

Welding work has to be carried out not only in the workshop, but also far beyond the reach of the extension cord from the outlet. In order not to depend on the electrical network, it is worth making a welding generator. You can cook with it either in the field or in the forest.
