To improve the operation of natural exhaust ventilation, a deflector is installed in it. This device increases draft by providing air outflow with the same intensity as a fan. At the same time, it does not consume electricity. Collect similar

It may happen that standard springs are not suitable for a particular craft or for replacing worn-out springs in any mechanism or device. For these cases, a device for winding springs of any length is very suitable, and when

It takes a lot of time to thinly roll out the dough for pita bread, tortilla or pizza, and your hands fall off after a couple of dozen pieces. In large industries, this is done not with a rolling pin, but with a hydraulic press, squeezing the dough ball into a thin

It is very convenient when the door or gate latches itself when closed. For this purpose, there are many designs of locks on sale, but none of them can boast of such reliability as the proposed homemade latch. It's trouble-free

It is not necessary to buy factory latches in the store for a gate in a farmstead or country house, as well as for the doors of outbuildings, especially when you need several of them. You can make the latches yourself from leftover metal that is no longer good for anything. With this

Although the effectiveness of cutting metal with a plasma torch is beyond doubt, cutting out a perfectly straight circle with it is not at all easy. This requires decent qualifications and time. But if you make a simple device based on magnetic

The seeds of many fruit trees germinate in the spring and quickly turn into young trees. If they are not removed in time, the garden will soon turn into an impenetrable grove. It is best to pull out such seedlings along with the roots. Since they are

Sometimes it may be necessary to bend a relief part from sheet metal, perhaps even with a concave or convex pattern. This could be a box lid, decorative trim, etc. In production they are obtained by pressing between dies. But there is

A jet or rocket stove is superior in many respects to other types of solid fuel stoves and is quite competitive with them. It is beneficial to use it in a country house or in a small garden house. This oven is simple,

During installation and repair work of pipelines, clamps are used, consisting of two halves, tightened together with two bolts. This is a very reliable, comfortable mount. A self-tapping screw or screw can be welded to one of the halves of the clamp, thereby

It is more convenient and reliable to close the doors of outbuildings in a country house or farmstead with a homemade lock, which can be made from scrap metal if you have basic skills in handling metal processing tools.

It is very difficult to bend a pipe at a right angle without crushing its internal diameter without a special machine. Choke constriction from bending is undesirable, especially when it comes to installing heating systems and plumbing. If you are laying a pipeline then

At a dacha or farmstead, a chain-link mesh may be needed for a variety of purposes. In order not to spend money on the purchase, we will make a simple machine with a manual drive for weaving it from steel wire, which will save a lot of money. Metal for

A belt grinder is the most convenient universal option for grinding and sharpening. It can be used to process flat parts, make bevels on knives, and sharpen almost any tool. In the factory version, such equipment is cumbersome, and

To assemble and join floor boards, door panels, long wall shelves, etc., the workpieces must be compressed along their entire length and with the same force. Purchasing something like this in a store will cost a pretty penny. If desired, some

For modern window accessories you have to pay a decent amount of money and it’s not a fact that they will suit you. But you can make them yourself from inexpensive and accessible materials. Homemade products, characterized by reliability and durability, are quite simple

Usually, to bend a steel strip “on edge,” they use a simple device, which does not provide accuracy in one go and requires fine-tuning. It also requires good physical preparation. But you can make a device in which

In construction stores, folding stops of the “goat’s leg” type are sold, the main disadvantage of which is hard contact with the floor. As a result, the door leaf, when fixed, seems to bump into a leg and “rears up.” Due to additional load

When gluing wide wooden pieces, you cannot do without a long clamp. Although this is a simple tool, it is not cheap at all in the store. So it’s more profitable to do it yourself. When you need several such clamps, then

Connecting steel rings usually cost much more than the rod from which they are made. In this regard, in order to save money, it is better to make such products with your own hands. To do this you will need a simple ring bending machine.

Not everyone can afford to have a metal lathe in their home workshop. But if there is a need for a pulley on an electric motor shaft or for other purposes, it can be made without a lathe, using only universal

A vaulted door frame made from a steel corner, in addition to its original appearance, is durable, which is not superfluous today. It will not cost much, since the costs will mainly be related to the cost of the corner and not necessarily a new one. With work

It is often necessary to connect two round pipes of the same diameter at 90 degrees. Making such a connection “by eye” does not guarantee the quality and strength of the connection. But when using fairly simple markup with this case

Bent steel and especially hot-rolled angles have great rigidity and mechanical strength when exposed to bending forces. Therefore, it is quite difficult to bend it manually along a circular arc. But by doing something extremely simple, you can
