Interesting do-it-yourself gadgets for the home. Homemade machines and fixtures for the home workshop - a detailed overview

Owners of private houses and lovers of crafts dream of creating a carpentry home workshop. They buy interesting power tools and try to make their own carpentry tools. For these purposes, they use an electric drill, a circular saw, an electric jigsaw.

Experts advise beginners not to buy cheap instruments. You need to focus on the average price options. In addition to tools, it is necessary to provide shelves and cabinets for storing materials and various small things.

Carpentry equipment

"Advanced" craftsmen have good vise workbenches, rare machines and tools that are very necessary for making furniture:

The ubiquitous grinder

Every man has a power tool called a grinder. In fact, this is a grinder, with the help of which abrasive cutting of metal, stone, ceramic tiles and other materials. To do this, install a special abrasive disc with a thickness of 0.7 to 2.5 mm. The diameter of the cutting disc is from 115 to 180 millimeters, it all depends on the hardness of the material being processed.

The peculiarity of this machine is the high speed of the electric motor, for example, the Whirlwind UShM-125 has 11 thousand revolutions per minute. It is this indicator and low weight, only 2.5 kilograms, that excites the minds of home craftsmen to adapt it to perform unusual types of metal-cutting work.

Homemade grinders are available in every garage and home workshop, moreover, each master makes a device for his own needs.

Cutting machine

A home-made option for the workshop is proposed - a cutting machine suitable for cutting corners, pipes, square profiles, fittings. The design of the device is simple:

• Desktop;
• brackets with a return spring;
• platform for mounting grinders;
• emphasis.

For this, a special protection is made, similar to the standard casing that comes with the tool. It has a slide, two handles and a rotary device. The slide looks like a plate measuring 200 x 120 millimeters, with a slot for the saw blade to exit.

The plate is attached on one side to the casing on a hinge, the other to a steel strip with a slot 9 mm wide for sliding along the M8x1.5 stud, which is on the casing for fixing with a wing nut.

Two handles are welded to the casing to hold the sawing machine during operation. Cutting and sawing lumber of small thickness is very convenient, and the high speed of the machine carpentry machine allow you to easily cut material up to 30 millimeters thick.

Vertical drilling model

The bed can be made from pieces of a corner of 50x50 millimeters and steel sheet 5 mm thick. To do this, weld two corners along the edges of the sheet for the entire length, they will serve as legs. Table size 350 x 200 mm. From above, weld a bracket from a square pipe with a height of 80 millimeters for attaching the rack.

The stand or guide for the drill is made of a square pipe three millimeters thick. A piece is welded into the upper hole water pipe eight millimeters long. A cable tension mechanism is inserted into it. Stand height 700 mm. The rack is inserted into the bracket and crimped with four bolts - two each on two sides of the square pipe.

The carriage is a movable unit on which the drill is attached. It is made of 50x50 corners, welded together, height 170 millimeters, the eyes are made of a strip three millimeters thick. An axle is inserted into the eyes, on which the cable is wound.

A continuation of the axis is a handle that drives the carriage.

The carriage drive consists of an axis on which a cable and a handle are wound. One end of the cable is attached to the bottom bracket. The upper end of the cable is fixed in the pipe at the upper end of the rack. A special bracket is attached to the carriage with seat under the electric drill. The drill itself is tightened with a special clamp made of a strip 2 mm thick and 40 mm wide.

Homemade turning fixture

There are a lot of home-made designs of lathes for wood. They are united by the presence of four main nodes:

• drive unit;
• bed;
• tailstock;
• assistant.

The difference is only in the choice of drive. Whoever has something from electromechanical devices is installed on the product:

• electric drill;
• Bulgarian;
• milling cutter;
• washing machine motor.

You can improve the already made metal-cutting structure by adding additional functions to it. For example, can be placed horizontally on a workbench or table drilling machine. The drive is electric drill. The tailstock will be a working table in which a hole is drilled along the axis of the drill in the chuck and a thread is cut to screw the fixed center.

Additionally, install the handbrake, fixing it on the movable bracket of the rack. The workpiece is fastened with one end in a trident clamped in a drill chuck, the other end in a fixed center. For a small number of simple parts - a completely good home-made woodworking machine with a fixture and equipment for the manufacture of figured parts obtained by turning.

The list of tools and mechanisms for a workshop or garage is limited only by the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe premises and the material capabilities of the owner. Despite the fact that many products are made from scrap, the cost of purchased parts and tools needed for assembly is very significant.

Sometimes it is cheaper to get a service in a specialized workshop than to do this work yourself.

“There are never too many tools” - everyone who was engaged in construction or made something heard this phrase. The right tool is invaluable when you need to cut, weld, or join parts. The section on FORUMHOUSE about home-made machines and fixtures, which is called so, is constantly updated with new products that simplify and optimize the work of a builder or a “jack of all trades”.

We have already said, and. We continue the topic. Today we will talk about home-made turning, locksmith and even garden tools and fixtures for construction.

Cutting machine from grinder

Machine tools for the workshop are always in demand, but the angle grinder (angle grinder), popularly known as the "Bulgarian", is one of the favorites in the arsenal of any home master. But the tool requires a very attentive attitude, because. any neglect can result in serious injury. Therefore, with large volumes of metal sawing (when making a fence or cutting reinforcement), many people prefer to work with a cutting machine for metal.

You can buy a frame for angle grinders on the Internet, but in order to save money, you can make a cutting machine yourself, from an “unnecessary” or “extra” “grinder” on the farm, which almost every owner has country house. As we will see, it is not only suitable for sharpening garden equipment!

Ivici FORUMHOUSE User,
Moscow.

I have an angle grinder, weighing 5.5 kg. Once I thought about how to simplify its use. After all, working with her, moving all the time, is inconvenient - hands get tired quickly. I decided to make a convenient cutting machine from what I have.

Looking ahead, let's say that the machine (more precisely, its second modification) was a success: it saws 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 base of the machine.

It also required a steel strip 50x5 mm. With the help of it, the grinder is fixed. It also required a 4x2 cm profile and a 3 mm piece of steel. The "figure eight" bolt serves as a rotary axis.

In the first version of the machine, a powerful door hinge. But, due to welding, under the action of high temperature, all the lubricant burned out in the loop, and a backlash appeared in the assembly.

According to the user, the hardest part was precisely marking and drilling the three 14mm diameter holes to bolt the angle grinder to the threaded holes for the side handle.

To do this, I had to use a stepped (conical) drill for metal.

I also had to work with a round file. A small bore of the holes, due to the play, allows you to move the grinder a little during the assembly process and install it accurately. After all the details are ready, the user grabbed the “piece of iron” that fastens the grinder by welding, assembled the entire structure in draft, verified all the corners and, making sure that everything was mounted as it should, finally scalded 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 refuse the return spring, just tighten the axle bolt tighter. When cutting the workpiece, there are no backlashes, distortions. You can also cut at an angle of 45 degrees.

Another home-made machine from angle grinders was offered by a portal user with a nickname Bistok.

As usual, at first we start a small construction or alteration, then we understand that we need new construction tools and fixtures, and then the search for the most optimal solution. Well don't buy it!

Bistok FORUMHOUSE user

I decided to make a ladder out of metal. To avoid marriage, backlash, discrepancies, when cutting metal parts, maximum accuracy is required. Therefore, I decided, taking the angle grinder as a basis, to make a sawing machine.

Everything that is usually lying around in the home workshop (and it’s a pity to throw it away) of the zealous owner went into action in anticipation of his finest hour. As a bed for a cutting machine Bistok I used an overlock table.

The swivel assembly is made from a hub from the “nine”, because it has a bearing.

As in the above version, the most difficult thing was to "catch" the right angle between the cutting disc and the stop angle. After all, the accuracy of sawing metal depends on this node.

The end result clearly dismantles the photo below.

To turn on the grinder Bistok I made additional wiring - I brought out a regular switch and a socket, and an extension plug comes from this switch.
You can buy a home-made machine from a familiar craftsman, but it’s much more correct to upgrade to the creator of devices of this level!

Bistok

I have a portable machine. I welded a corner to the handle to get 3 angle grinder support points. Fastening on two bolts customized in place. I work only in goggles. I am very pleased with the result of the work done. For the manufacture of the machine did not buy anything extra. The cut goes exactly at 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 fixtures in which an ordinary drill is fixed, like a “drill” by a FORUMHOUSE user with the nickname g8o8r8.

g8o8r8 Member FORUMHOUSE

While drilling many holes of the same type 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 for rigidly fixing the drill. Now drilling a corner or channel has become much easier.

According to the user, it takes no more than 30 seconds to drill 1 hole with a diameter of 4-5 mm. Having decided to repeat such a design, it should be remembered that the load on the drill increases significantly due to the increase in the amount of work. g8o8r8 I've rebuilt my drill twice.

Also, the user, based on an electric motor, made a small machine - a “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 cage groove. For amateur use, such a 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 the farm on bolted connections.

Hand trowel for concrete

No less than home-made machines for the home workshop, fixtures for construction and repair are important. And we can easily make many building fixtures with our own hands.

Anyone who has ever dealt with concrete work knows how difficult it is to smooth a freshly laid mixture to perfect condition. If in small areas you can get by with the rule, then when pouring a site in front of a house or a parking lot for a car, you can’t do it with an ordinary tool. A concrete trowel comes to the rescue, which, due to the long handle (from 3 to 12 m), allows you to smooth concrete on larger area without stepping on the surface to be leveled.

The principle of operation of such a device, somewhat reminiscent of a mop, is simple. There is a working profile (it is also called a "wing"), fixed on a long handle. When moving away from the trowel, due to the gearbox, the edge opposite from the user rises. That is, due to the angle of inclination of the “wing”, the trowel slides over the concrete, and does not collect it in front of it. When moving towards you, on the contrary, the side facing the worker lifts up, and the smoother again smoothes the concrete.

ronik55 Member of FORUMHOUSE

I know from experience how difficult it is to smooth concrete perfectly. I did not want to go and buy for 10 thousand rubles. In the end, my father made a cheap concrete smoothing device, practically from garbage - all unnecessary things.

The following photos clearly demonstrate how such a smoothing iron is arranged. We take metallic profile(dimensions depend on the smoothed area), we weld transverse stiffeners to it, on which, in turn, hinge joints made of pipes are fixed.

The most important element, due to which the angle of elevation of the “wing” changes, is a rotating gearbox with a chain.

When the handle was rotated, the chain was wound around the pipe, and one edge of the trowel was lifted.

After troweling to the end point, we rotate the handle in the opposite direction. The chain is wound again and the end of the trowel facing the user is raised.

We pull the ironing board 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 do it yourself (you will also find a drawing at the link).

Garden sprayer and wyma

It all started with Metamorph it was necessary to treat the area from ticks, and the old hand sprayer died a long time. Needed urgently to buy new device or find a replacement. Preparing for processing and thinking about what can be done, the user of our portal stumbled upon an unnecessary fire extinguisher lying around on the farm.

Next, we act like this - carefully unwind the fire extinguisher, pour out the remnants of the powder and rinse the container with water. Instead of a socket, we screw in an adapter into which, depending on the need, you can screw a nipple (for pumping air) or a nozzle (for spraying the mixture).

Metamorf Member FORUMHOUSE

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 to poison the ticks.

DIY carpentry tool

QWEsad Member of FORUMHOUSE

Once I needed to glue a lot of wooden shields. I didn't have clamps. Therefore, I decided to hastily assemble a wyma from wooden bars with a section of 5x5 cm and metal plates with “tens” welded nuts.

In total, the user made 3 such clamps, which was enough for gluing a wooden shield 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 can protrude, you can put a newspaper or shoot polyethylene with a stapler.

In order not to spoil the workpiece, a gasket must be placed under the plate against which the screw rests. The gluing width is adjusted by moving the stop bar.

To keep your home comfortable and convenient, you need complex technique. It greatly facilitates housework, but its maintenance requires certain skills and knowledge. Not everyone knows all the possibilities of modern tools and does not use them to the fullest. If you change them a little, you can get convenient home-made fixtures for the workshop.

If you gradually acquire models of popular brands, they will turn out to be durable and reliable assistants. In addition, devices are needed to position and secure the workpieces during their processing. At the cottage it will be

As the inventory of the home master accumulates, it should be sorted into groups:

• metalwork and carpentry tools;
• appliances;
• electrical equipment.

All accommodation allow fixtures drawers and cabinets. Keeping inventory clean and tidy makes it possible to create a comfortable working environment and ensure the long-term preservation of tools.

Homemade tools for woodworking

Wood processing is most common in household. Useful homemade tools for the workshop primarily include a workbench. It should be comfortable in height. Its cover is located at the level of bent palms. If you need to raise it, bars of the desired thickness are installed on the dowels from below.

Making a modern workbench

The classic workbench consists of a lid with a front and back vise. This design is more suitable for manual work. It is poorly adapted to work with power tools due to the fact that workpieces can be difficult to fix. You can buy a modern compact workbench MASTER cut 1000 worth 12 thousand rubles, which is folded. You can install hand tools on it: a circular saw, a jigsaw and a router. But then it will have to be redone. good performance has a Festool MFT 3 workbench. However, the price of 30 thousand rubles makes you wonder. The master will be able to make home-made fixtures for the home workshop that work just as well.

To make a workbench, you need flat plywood without knots. The thickness must be at least 20 mm. By installing an electric jigsaw on it from below, it will be possible to cut boards and small bars along, across, at an angle, as well as complex curved profiles. The tool performs additional functions circular and band saws.

First, the tabletop is made. An arcuate groove is cut in it to install a guide for blanks, which can be mounted at any angle. A guide with a slot is also made under the jigsaw. Its width is selected according to the size of the sole of the tool.

The sides should be cut out of plywood and glued to the countertop to give it rigidity. The legs of the workbench are made from a bar. Can be crafted metal carcass, and then attach the table top to it with screws. Then the design will be light and durable. The guides from below are attached to the countertop with furniture nuts.

The jigsaw is installed from the bottom of the workbench cover - “upside down”. From above, only the file remains visible. For the convenience of using a jigsaw, an additional switch is installed. The guide should also be easy to remove so that you can easily change the saw blade of the tool. For easy access to the underside, the tabletop can be made folding, on hinges.

The workbench takes up little space and can be installed even at home. To do this, it is made foldable so that it can be easily disassembled and put away in a closet or pantry.

How to make a workbench for a summer residence

For work in the country or in country house you need a powerful workbench. The tabletop is knocked together from a thick edged board up to 2 m long. It will not be superfluous if it is additionally fixed with self-tapping screws. From below, along the perimeter, the tabletop is sheathed with timber. Table legs are made of square section 120x120 mm. They can be buried in the ground or attached to a reinforced concrete base. The whole structure is treated with an antiseptic and covered with drying oil.

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

How to make a pipe bender with your own hands

In the subsidiary farm, it is necessary to have a device for bending metal pipes and profiles. The simplest home-made tool for bending pipes up to 20 mm in diameter is a steel plate with welded pins. By inserting a workpiece between them, it can be bent to the desired curvature. In such simple devices, the pipe is crushed at the bend. To avoid this, it is necessary to tightly fill the pipe with sand. It will also help to heat it with a blowtorch, which any master has.

To improve the quality of bending, instead of pins, 2 profiled rollers and a locking element are used. You can also make a special profile from a steel angle and a plate and fix it on a workbench that has solid foundation. In the picture, the structure is attached directly to the boards. You can make it portable by mounting it on a steel sheet and fixing it to the bottom of the tabletop. Then the pipe bender, which is rarely used, will not interfere with carpentry work. The portable device, like other homemade workshop tools, can be used in the garage. It is convenient to fix it there, and it may be needed not only for pipes.

Homemade circular saw

Branded machines have high prices, and a home-made tool for a home workshop is quite suitable for a private user. It can be made on the basis of manual, cheaper models.

The workbench for the circular must be stable. A frame with a slot for the disk is attached to the tabletop. The best material is a sheet of metal or durable wood that can withstand heavy loads. It has a slight thickness, which makes it possible to use most blade and cut products of sufficient thickness. In addition, the tool itself and the fixture for machine tools are attached to the frame. The guide bar is made sliding on a steel or aluminum sled, or fastened with clamps.

Mounted on the bottom of the worktop on the bed. You can also use a grinder or drill, but they are not as effective and do not allow you to use the entire working area disk. The mount can be anything, as long as it is reliable.

When working with circular saw it should be remembered that it has high speed and it is necessary to follow safety rules.

Homemade bow saw

Homemade fixtures for wood processing can be very simple, but effective. These include the bow saw. Thin blade for fast sawing big log. It is easy to replace with a new one when the saw becomes dull. A bow saw can be made independently from 3 blocks of durable wood. Two handles with cuts at the ends are connected in the middle by a crossbar using a “thorn-nest” connection. The canvas is inserted into the slots and fixed with two nails. On the other hand, it is stretched with a rope loop thrown over the handles and twisted with a collar.

How to sharpen a knife

Manual sharpening for knives is more effective because a strong cutting edge is obtained. To facilitate the process, it is widely used homemade device. It consists of a bar with a clamp for a bar, a base for fixing a knife and a rack for adjusting the installation angle.

With the reciprocating movement of the bar with the bar fixed on it, the blade is sharpened. The abrasive surface is pressed against the blade only when moving from the heel to the tip. By slightly changing the design of the knife sharpening base, you can also straighten the blades of carpentry tools.

Homemade garage fixtures

The garage is not only a place where to hide the car, but also a workshop where you can store tools and carry out repairs.

Shelves and racks

Provide hand tools. For this, a rack is made, which is usually placed on top. Then it will not interfere with movement inside. A small workbench is installed below for work, in which tools are also stored. It is most convenient to have everything near the back wall of the garage. Then the side passages will be free.

The inspection pit is laid out with bricks or cast concrete, and then covered with a lid so that it does not interfere with the passage.

Making a puller

Normal operation of the vehicle is carried out using standard set tools. Craftsmen make special equipment. A puller is often required to tighten bearings. The most convenient is the three-valve design. Standard device may not be enough. If you make a puller with your own hands, it will last for many years.

Small devices are made of steel sheet 10 mm thick. A pattern is made on it and paws are cut out with a gas cutter. They are processed on an emery machine, adjusting the dimensions. The core is machined from round timber, the foot holders are welded, the thread for the wrench is cut and drilled required holes. The paws are held on bolts with a diameter of 8-10 mm.

The work of making a puller requires skills in working with many tools. Helpers may be needed here. A convenient solution is to manufacture removable legs of the desired configurations, which can be changed on a product purchased in a store.

Conclusion

Homemade accessories for the workshop allow you to solve many problems in the household and subsidiary farms with minimal effort and cost.

The master is not distinguished by the greed that some masters suffer from, who do not want to share their findings 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 gadget with which you will always be on top and can even improve your standard of living. Why, you can put on stream the production of such an instrument and sell it to everyone. Maybe this is too loud, but you should think about automating and mechanizing all the routine work at home.

8 accessories for craftsmen.

You probably haven't seen many of them. Cool tools create DIYs. These devices will help you work more comfortably in the workshop. The video was filmed on the channel “Hands from Shoulders”.

Folding table for the master

1. Let's start with a folding table, which will be a great helper in a small workshop. Helps save money too small area. The table has a compartment for small things. Shelf that can be laid out essential tool. Thanks to a large number holes with 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 inserted into the guide bolts, we get additional emphasis. Having a set of clamps and such a table, you can comfortably perform a variety of jobs.

Folding stand homemade

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 the Samodelkins, 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 the absolute free of charge and ease of 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.

Handicraft apple press

4. If the harvest is large, then the question arises, where to put it? Great option - Apple juice. For purchased juicers, apples need to be cut and peeled, which is inconvenient. The grater below will handle whole apples. Dali only remains to squeeze the resulting mass under pressure. The result is a natural delicious 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 downloading everything you need to this moment, we get the entire tool in one place at your fingertips.

What can be done from an electric planer with your own hands

6. One more interesting design thickness gauge - based on an electric planer. With the help of guides, it moves in 2 planes. The movement takes place with the help of an elevator. There are rulers on each side of the fixture for fine adjustment.

Grinding tool

7. Having a jigsaw, you can get a cool grinder. 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 seated on bearings. Adjustment of the tape on the rollers occurs with the help of lambs. The tension is adjustable with a bolt. The structure is set in motion with a drill. You can slightly improve the design by Samodelkin by replacing plastic bottles with polypropylene tubes.

Homemade self-taught shook the network with his video

The self-taught inventor conquered the online community of craftsmen with his video, in which he presented a fundamentally new utility model to improve the efficiency of the work of craftsmen and those who like to work in the garage. The best part is that it doesn't require buying an idea. And moreover, all this can be done by yourself and even a novice master can handle it. All this is for the benefit of every resident of the cities in which the masters settled, because with such high level mastery, now you don’t want to hammer walls at home on weekends or rattle some kind of ultra-decibel grinder for an incomprehensible purpose. With such a device, you can safely make your own separate workshop and live the rich life of a Russian artisan.

DIY tool stirs up the web

This video stirred up the community of lovers of inventions in the global network. The master thought about this idea for years and finally brought to the public discussion the ingenious in simplicity and radical profitable idea for those who used to hammer walls with a puncher, I realize my inclinations of a woodpecker and a brilliant builder-grinder, and now I can make myself a rich man for free, working in the quiet of 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 out the money saved for beer from the stash. All this is free - the master loves to show the whole world the useful things that he comes up with.

Many car owners use their garage as a workshop, gradually filling it with practical devices that facilitate car repair and maintenance. Many of them can be made independently using the recommendations presented in this article.

Many garage workshop fixtures can be made on your own, the video below shows some of them.

Garage homemade products are devices that greatly facilitate garage life, in addition, they work no worse than factory machines. Having equipped your workshop with such devices, you can independently make the necessary parts for cars, as well as various crafts for home or summer cottages.

Video homemade garage tools and fixtures

It is difficult to predict in advance what devices may be needed when carrying out car repairs, however, there are some homemade products, some are used most often. Some of them can be seen in the video below.

Drawings of homemade devices

A pipe bender is a useful household appliance that allows you to bend metal or polymer pipe under a certain degree. Bent pipes are often used in the construction of greenhouses and greenhouses, installation of heating and other needs. Using the presented drawing, a manual pipe bender can be made independently.

A vise is a practical device used when performing plumbing work. With its help, it is possible to securely fix the part requiring metalwork in a certain position.

This device consists of several parts:

• base plate;
• 2nd lips - mobile and not mobile;
• lever;
• drive screw.

With the help of small-sized metalwork vise, the drawing of which is presented above, it is convenient to sharpen and other processing of small parts.

The presence in the home workshop of a CNC milling machine allows you to perform a number of woodworking tasks.

Homemade milling machine consists of several nodes and parts:

• bed;
• calipers designed to move cutters;
• caliper guides;
• spindle with installed cutter;
• microcontroller or switching board with microcircuits that automate the operation of the machine;
• electric motor with power supply;
• drivers responsible for transmitting commands from the controller to the electric motor;
• vacuum cleaner for collecting sawdust resulting from the operation of the machine.

A do-it-yourself CNC milling machine allows you to perform engraving and milling work.

Homemade car repair tools

The windshield wiper arm puller is a special tool that facilitates the process of removing the wiper arms. You can make it yourself from a piece of reinforcement, a six channel and a dozen bolt. To do this, use a drilling machine to make holes for 14 and weld 2 nuts on both sides of the hole and a handle from the reinforcement, screw the bolt into the workpiece and, putting on heat shrink, screw in the threaded rivet. The tool is ready.
Another version of the device for shooting wiper leashes is shown in the photo below.

Another useful home-made device with which you can manually re-roll the wheels yourself. Another version of this device can be seen in the photo below.

When carrying out serious car repairs, as a rule, you can not do without a lift. A factory-made device is not cheap, and is not needed very often, so it may well be replaced with a home-made device.

Homemade machines and accessories for the garage

Having made devices for tire fitting and balancing, you can independently perform these works, significantly saving money on car maintenance. In addition, such devices will come to the rescue if it is not possible to come to a specialized tire fitting.

In your garage workshop you can equip universal machine for tire fitting using improvised materials - metal pipes and a hub.

When doing various crafts for the home, it often becomes necessary to drill smooth hole. This is difficult to do with a conventional drill, but if you make a stand for a drill, such as the one shown in the photo, then drilling without distortions will be much easier. This design can be made from various materials. For example:

• from metal;

• from wood.

Using the diagram below, you can independently make a drilling machine from a drill.

Usage homemade press will allow in the garage workshop to produce products by pressing. It is possible to make such a device from a hydraulic jack fixed at the top of the bed, which in turn is welded from improvised materials. The pressure in this case is directed downward.

Another version of a homemade press, the design of which involves mounting a jack at the base of the bed. In this case, the process of pressure is produced upwards.

With the help of a home-made press, you can straighten, bend sheets of metal, compress cardboard, fasten individual elements. The video below demonstrates how to do this the right fixture on one's own.

Tool storage in the garage

The presence of order is the key to comfortable use of the workplace in the garage. Special organizers are designed to ensure this order in the workplace, allowing you to conveniently store and easily find the tools you need. You can make such devices yourself, using improvised means.

Simple and accessible way keep hand tool, is a wall organizer made from cans attached to plywood sheet. In addition, several hooks or nails can be nailed to it in order to conveniently hang the measuring and electric tool. In the absence of cans, PVC pipes of various diameters, cut into pieces and screwed to a sheet of plywood or chipboard, can be used as holders.

Even easier to do special device to store screwdrivers. For this you need to take wooden block and drill holes in it right size. Fix the finished holder on the wall. On the same holder, you can organize a storage system for chisels and a chisel. It is enough to cut special holes in a wooden blank. In the same way, you can make a holder for power tools by sawing the appropriate holes in a wooden shelf.

interesting way tool storage is suggested in the photo above. Its principle is based on the use of magnetic tapes attached to metal strips. With the help of such a system, it is convenient to store drills, keys and other metal tools.
Convenient and practical organizers for storing screws, bolts, nails and other small things can be made with your own hands from transparent plastic cans with lids.
