Proverbs and sayings about May HORIZONTALLY: 2. May will deceive - in ... will leave.4 ....
A garage is more than just a place to park a car. It is also a workshop, and a place of rest, and an interest club. Therefore, the arrangement of the garage should be convenient and thoughtful. In a small area, you need to place a lot of things, and it should be convenient to use them. This will help homemade for the garage. What people do not do with their own hands. From an elementary shelf to a complex device. All this can be made independently. But you need to know how. A few ideas for modernizing the garage and a plan for their implementation in the article.
Homemade for the garage: ideas for arrangement
Arranging a garage is a long process. You can’t do everything right away, you have to constantly modernize something, change, make something new. At the same time, they mainly use homemade products for the garage. It requires less money, and it’s even more fun - making the right thing out of the garbage is worth a lot.
Even in a small area you can fit everything
Tire and wheel storage
Each car owner is faced with the problem of storing off-season "shoes" for the car. Where to stick the tires is a sore point. In general, how tires are stored depends on whether they are mounted on rims or not.
Tire storage methods
So tires with disks can be hung or stored lying down - in the form of a stack, stacking them one on top of the other. For hanging tires, you can use luggage straps, chains, a metal cable with a diameter of 4 mm or more in a polyethylene sheath. Fasten the belts to the ceiling, wall, to the beam located on top.
Polyethylene sheathed cable, ring anchors and tightening clamps
Luggage straps are best attached to rings in the ceiling or hooks on the walls.
Drive pins of sufficient length into the wall, but such that the pin does not stick out of the tire
Not only a pin is suitable, but also a hook with a small bend radius
Another affordable way is to drive pins or hooks with a small bending radius into the wall. The distance between the hooks is slightly more than the diameter of the tires. The length of the pins must be such that they do not stick out of the tire. You can fill them almost under the ceiling so that the wheels fit.
Tires without rims can only be stored standing up. They make special shelves for them. They are usually welded from a profiled pipe. 20*20mm, maximum 30*30mm. You can also use a corner. It is inconvenient to weld a round pipe, but crossbars can be made from it - the tires fit and hold better in this case.
Shelf width - 4 times the width of the tire, plus a margin of 10-15 cm for some freedom. The height of the rear wall is slightly higher than the outer diameter of the wheel. The design is simple = the side resembles a right triangle. Having an inverter welding machine, it will not be difficult to weld such a shelf.
Tire storage shelf - a great DIY for the garage
This is a factory version with a completely inhumane price tag. But you can borrow the idea - the crossbars can be rearranged depending on the size of the tires ... you never know
Just welded and painted
Such shelves are usually hung on the wall. But the place must be chosen so that the light does not fall on the rubber - it deteriorates from this. Not the most difficult DIY for the garage, but very useful.
Workplace
Probably the largest number of garage homemade products is associated with workplace equipment and tool storage systems. Moreover, shelves and racks in the garage are not the only way to solve this problem. First of all, you need to decide where the workplace will be located. There are three options:
A table or a workbench for a garage is made of boards, sheathed with plywood. Inexpensive, very reliable. If you have a welding machine and reconciliation skills, you can weld a frame from a corner or a profiled pipe. It is better to sheathe again with moisture-resistant plywood. This results in a smooth, abrasion-resistant surface. You can, of course, use laminated chipboard, but the laminating layer is quickly damaged.
U-shaped workbench for the garage
To prevent the place from “walking”, you can install shelves under the tabletop or make drawers. Boxes are more convenient, but making them is still a hassle. It is quite possible to make shelves and put boxes knocked out of plywood on them. Plastic boxes and baskets are also suitable. But the walls must be thick.
Drawers can be placed on shelves
By the way, there is a useful idea - to make a rack for storing tools from used canisters. Look for the ones with the handle on top. Further, everything is simple - one of the sidewalls is cut out and in the future this canister is used as a box.
Useful and simple DIY for the garage
It is not necessary to make a whole rack - it is still difficult to remember where, what is. But by the same principle, you can make boxes for shelves. By the way, you can stick inscriptions or pictures on the ends (identification is faster with pictures). Such homemade garage crafts bring satisfaction - creating a useful thing from garbage is a pleasant feeling.
Tool storage
The most difficult task is to organize the storage of tools in the garage. It is necessary to make sure that everything is in order, but, at the same time, is at hand and in plain sight. Moreover, closed boxes are suitable only for very organized people who always put the thing they have taken in its place. Otherwise, you will constantly rummage through the boxes, forgetting where everything is. There are several ideas for convenient storage of small items and tools. These are very simple homemade products for the garage.
An ordinary metal mesh will help to quickly solve the problem. A reinforcing mesh made of 2 mm wire, a cage of 10 cm is suitable. Attach it to the wall, bite off some twigs, bend them, make hooks, crossbars, etc. out of them. You can buy special hooks that are attached to the net (available in stores selling commercial equipment), ordinary double-sided hooks that can be bought or made from wire are also suitable.
Grid on the wall - a way to quickly organize tool storage
Screwdrivers are conveniently stored on a special shelf. Take a board, plywood, 10-15 mm thick. The board must be well sanded - so that there are no splinters. Then, in a plane, drill holes of different diameters in one or two rows. If the board is wide enough, you can make larger holes - for chisels or even for hammer handles. Clean all the chips again. Now we need to come up with a wall mount. You can use a regular bracket. Screwdrivers, chisels, and other similar material are inserted into the holes. Convenient, fast, everything.
Idea for storing screwdrivers in the garage
There are also useful homemade products for the garage that allow you to organize the storage of hand tools. Pliers, pliers, wire cutters, etc. placement is problematic. Can be hung on a net. It is convenient to shoot, but not to hang. But there is a simple solution - attach a narrow board and put a tool on it. To make it fit comfortably, grind off the board on one side. When cut, it should look like an isosceles triangle.
Storage of hand tools in the garage
Another simple idea for storing cordless tools, chargers and spare batteries for them. Make a shelf as in the photo above. Cuts of various formats are made in the lower part, and the upper ones are used as ordinary shelves. The idea is that everything is in one place, quickly gets / installed in place. These homemade garage crafts will make your workplace comfortable. Keeping order will be easy.
Homemade carriers for the garage
Even with very good lighting in the garage itself or during the day on the street, visibility under the bottom of the car is very low. To illuminate the front of work, portable lamps are used - carrying. These are the simplest homemade for the garage. With them, you can start the epic of arranging and equipping the garage space.
The most widespread type of carriers for the garage. Homemade usually make very similar
In the simplest version, this is a cartridge attached to a wire; a small screen with a hook can be attached to it. This is such an uncomplicated thing. Light bulbs are used ordinary - incandescent or housekeeper under a standard cartridge. Everything is not bad, except that these bulbs beat very often, you need to look for how to hang them so that they shine in a specific place. In general, the design needs to be improved. There are several modification options.
Unbreakable lamp socket
This plastic bottle shade perfectly protects the fragile bulb of an energy-saving lamp. You can also use an LED lamp, but the incandescence will not work - it heats up too much. The design is ordinary - a cord with a plug and a cartridge at the end.
The main task is to find a plastic vessel with walls made of translucent milky plastic of medium thickness. Transparent will not work - it will not scatter light, too thin walls will not save the lamp from impacts. After you have found a suitable vessel, a trifle remains:
Everything is simple, but such a ceiling allows you to brightly illuminate exactly the right area, the rest of the space is flooded with even light that does not hurt your eyes.
Carrying out LED recessed downlight
The simplest and most common garage homemade products are portable lamps. Without them, it is inconvenient to work not only in a garage pit, but even just on a workbench. You need a flat recessed LED lamp that can be switched on at 220 V. These models are called "pills" because of their shape. You also need a cord with a plug, a piece of plastic window sill - to build in a lamp. A piece of window sill should be larger than the lamp. Choose your own dimensions. Further actions are:
Everything, homemade carrying is ready. This option is for floor installation. The movable leg allows you to change the angle of inclination. To make it turn over less, a couple of weights can be fixed inside the case (in its lower part).
Attach the carry cord to the ceiling
Conveniences are made up of little things, and very simple homemade products for the garage help in this. For example, you can remove the cable from a portable lamp that is always tangled under your feet. Carrying is usually done with a cheap cable. It is not the most flexible, does not fold well, its coils on the floor fall under your feet. In general, it is inconvenient to use. You can protect yourself and carrying - hang the cable from the ceiling. The solution is simple but very effective.
Here's a "suspension" to the ceiling for carrying, you can do it yourself in an hour
- Two anchors with a ring at the end.
- Cable tie.
- Clamp clamp.
- Metal cable. The length depends on the size of the garage - it is necessary from one wall to another.
- Steel/plastic rings or steel wire and a piece of pipe to make these rings.
- Carry with a long cable - its length is about twice the length of the garage.
The cable is pulled along the long side of the garage. It is more convenient - not far from the "working" wall, where a workbench or other equipment is located. Little work:
Well, that's all. You can use. With such a device, the carrier can be pulled to any end of the garage, while the cable does not get confused and does not cling. Convenient, takes little time.
Do-it-yourself garage compressor
A compressor is needed in any garage. And by the way, this is not the most difficult homemade for the garage. A low-power compressor for a garage for inflating tires and other small jobs can be done with your own hands from auxiliary materials. For example, from the compressor from the refrigerator. For this you will need:
- refrigerator compressor;
- a sealed container with thick walls (you can use a flask from a fire extinguisher, a small gas cylinder);
- safety valve 8 atm;
- manometer;
- fitting;
- oxygen hoses with couplings (choose the length based on the size of your spare parts);
- base for the compressor - a thick board, a piece of plywood will do.
In order not to pump any muck into the tires, it is also advisable to put a filter - to separate oils, dust and other contaminants. The diagram of a homemade compressor is shown in the photo.
Scheme of a homemade compressor
The compressor must be equipped with a starting device. We plug it into the network, look into which tube air is sucked in, mark it. You can put a car filter on it - clean air will be pumped.
We assemble an oil separator receiver from a cylinder and a safety valve. To do this, we cut two fittings into the cylinder - for air inlet and outlet. At the inlet we put a safety valve to it with the help of an oxygen hose we connect the compressor outlet.
Homemade compressor for a garage based on a compressor from a refrigerator
We put another car oil filter on the outlet of the oil separator receiver - to remove the oil completely. We connect the filter to the pressure gauge, and from it comes a hose, which is connected to the bus through the appropriate adapter.
Assembly completed. But in order to carry this device comfortably, everything needs to be fixed in some way. You can weld the frame to size, attach wheels and a handle for easy transportation. One of the compressor options for pumping wheels is described in the video. There is no receiver, but the oil filter performs its functions. You can do it this way, but with a receiver, the design is more reliable.
Since the compressor in the refrigerator is small, it can take a long time to inflate the wheels. It can be made more powerful by installing two compressors that will run simultaneously. Accordingly, the pressure will build up twice as fast. But in such an installation, a more solid security group is required. Such homemade products require a little more equipment, since the circuit is still more complicated.
Most car owners spend at least two hours a day caring for their car, and even more on weekends. If we talk about something major, for example, engine repair, then we can talk about several days. For this reason, it is extremely important that the environment in the garage is as comfortable as possible for work.
Arranging a garage is not as easy as it seems, because in addition to spare parts and tools, it usually stores everything that does not fit in the apartment. Moreover, any repair is pollution, which sooner or later turns the garage into a very unattractive place. In a word, even during construction, you need to think about how the garage will look in the future, how best to combine a workshop and a miniature warehouse in it.
First you need to decide on the main tasks. First of all, the garage should always be clean, so you need to use non-staining and easy-to-clean materials for finishing. It is also required to draw up a layout of the location of tools and equipment in advance, that is, determine where the racks, shelves, workbench, etc. will be located.
Stage 1. Interior decoration
In this regard, a number of requirements are imposed on finishing materials. Materials must be:
- non-combustible;
- resistant to mechanical damage;
- able to withstand exposure to aggressive chemical environments;
- pollution resistant.
Moreover, they should be easy to clean and not absorb odors. Obviously, not all materials have similar qualities. Those that still possess them include plaster, wall paneling and ceramic tiles. Each option has its strengths and weaknesses, let's get acquainted with them.
1. Plaster
Ideal if you want to hide uneven walls. Plaster will effectively hide all existing defects and ennoble the interior of the garage.
Note! The plaster must be covered with a layer of facade paint, otherwise the surface will begin to crack and crumble.
2. Lining
Lining is used mainly in the northern regions of the country, since it is very convenient to place thermal insulation material between it and the profiles. In this case, it is better to use a facade profile, made of polyvinyl chloride - it is fireproof and waterproof.
The only drawback of lining is low strength - after a strong impact, the panels are deformed and need to be changed.
A more laborious and costly option. It requires a preliminary calculation of the strength of the walls, because the tile weighs quite a lot.
At the same time, ceramics do not burn, are easy to clean and are characterized by increased strength. If the garage will be sold in ten years, then it is better to decorate it with ceramics. Expensive, of course, but for a long time.
Stage 2. Observation hole
To repair the machine, it is desirable to equip a viewing hole. Even the smallest breakdown becomes a serious test if it is impossible to reach it without a viewing hole. In such cases, you have to go to the service station and pay a considerable amount for repairs.
In a word, the arrangement of a viewing hole will soon pay off. Below is the sequence of actions.
Step 1. First, the dimensions of the future pit are determined and marking is carried out. At the same time, a balance must be struck - firstly, the pit must be spacious enough, and secondly, its width must be such that there are no problems when entering the garage.
The required width is 0.7 m, it will allow you to feel comfortable during repairs and at the same time leave enough space for parking maneuvers.
Note! When marking, you need to leave a margin of about 20-25 cm for the wall thickness.
With regards to depth, it depends on its own height, but again it is better to make it a little deeper than required - it is much easier to equip additional flooring than to redo the floor when deepening.
Step 2. Upon completion of the markup, you can start earthworks. The most difficult thing is to dig a hole, because more than 9 cubic meters of soil will have to be removed.
Step 3. The floor is leveled and covered with a 25 cm "cushion" of crushed stone. It is noted where the niches for the tools will be located.
Step 4 Walls can be poured with concrete or overlaid with bricks. Concrete is more reliable, so it will be considered.
First, the floor is poured, a thickness of 7-8 cm will be enough. For reliability, you can pre-lay reinforcement. Next, a wooden formwork is being built, which will be gradually filled with mortar in 40 cm tiers. The upper edge is reinforced with a metal structure, lamps are installed.
Note! It is advisable to cover the concrete floor with a wooden ladder, because it will be much more pleasant to work on such a surface.
Stage 3. Shelving
For ease of use, each tool should have its own place. Shelves and racks can be bought ready-made, but they are quite expensive, and they do not always meet the needs of the car owner. Therefore, the rack is better to do it yourself. It seems difficult, but only at first.
Step 1. First, the dimensions are marked. Most "shop" racks are equipped with shelves 1 m wide. This is not enough for spare parts, so the width needs to be made larger.
You also need to leave a gap of at least 20 cm from the floor so that there are no difficulties with cleaning the floor. It is desirable to perforate all shelves - this will give two advantages at once:
Step 2. For the manufacture of the rack, a metal frame is used from a profiled pipe or a 30x30 corner. The parts are welded or bolted together, then the shelves are cut out. Usually, boards are taken for this, but moisture-resistant plywood is the best option - it costs more, but it will last a long time.
Stage 4. Shelves
Like shelving, shelves are best done on your own.
Step 1. First, the number of shelves, their dimensions and installation locations are determined.
Step 2. In accordance with the calculations, everything you need is prepared:
Step 3 Using the mounting level, the attachment points are determined. Next, holes are made, dowels are hammered into them.
Note! For reliable fastening, it is advisable to use dowels with hooks.
Step 4. With a certain step (in accordance with the holes made earlier), suspensions with lugs are fixed on the shelf. They can be nailed with ordinary nails. The assembled shelves are hung on dowels.
It is worth remembering that the hinged shelves should not be too long, otherwise they will break under the weight.
Stage 5. Garage workbench
The most convenient for the garage will be a workbench that combines shelving and a work surface. So the tools will always be at hand, which will significantly reduce the time spent on searching for one or another of them.
For the manufacture of a workbench, a metal frame is assembled, on which a wooden tabletop with shelves is installed. The tabletop is covered with sheet steel so as not to damage the structure during operation.
The workbench must be equipped with several sockets for electrical tools, as well as a fluorescent lamp, equipped with iron brackets for this.
Video - Garage workbench
Stage 6. Garage cellar
Often garages are equipped with cellars in which preservation is stored. This moment, as well as a viewing hole, must be thought out in advance.
Step 1. First, the old flooring is removed, after which all the pieces are removed, and the garage is cleared for digging a foundation pit.
Step 2. Next, earthworks are carried out. In this case, special attention should be paid to the type of soil, because if the soil is sandy, then with careless digging, the walls of the room can collapse. That is why it is desirable to use a variety of props made of wood and metal.
If the soil is clayey, then you can not be afraid of anything, because it is able to withstand any load.
Step 3. The bottom is covered with rubble and carefully rammed. Next, fittings are installed, the floor is poured with concrete mortar.
Step 4. The walls are built of bricks.
Step 5. The cellar is covered with a reinforced concrete slab, after which waterproofing is laid - bitumen or roofing material. For insulation, you can use any thermal insulation material.
Note! The cellar can be equipped even if the level of groundwater is high enough. To do this, a metal tank is welded throughout the pit. When the water level rises, the tank will rise, and in summer it will simply lie on the bottom.
Step 6. It remains only to take care of the ventilation of the cellar. To do this, steel pipes (2 pcs.) Are removed above the ground level, preferably on opposite walls of the structure. The supply pipe is located below, and the exhaust pipe, respectively, under the ceiling. Both pipes must be the same diameter.
A few words about ventilation in the garage
Such ventilation, it would seem, is not needed, but without it a lot of dust will accumulate in the garage, which negatively affects not only the body, but also the internal parts of the car. And exhaust gases are harmful to the body.
The simplest and most affordable option is natural ventilation. Two holes are equipped for it (the same as for the cellar). For maximum efficiency, the inlet and outlet pipes must be installed diagonally opposite each other.

Results
It is possible to equip a garage on your own, although this will require a lot of time and effort. But the result will more than pay for all the costs, because in the end you will get not only an autobox, but also a miniature workshop. The garage will become a place to relax or bold experiments with the car.
Read the article on our website - do-it-yourself press for the garage.
With proper arrangement of space, a garage can serve not only for parking a car, but as a workshop for its maintenance. In addition, a properly planned space will easily accommodate the tools required for this, provide storage for technical fluids and wheels in the off-season. The functionality of the room will allow you to expand the accessories for the garage with your own hands, which you can make from improvised material or purchase in specialized stores with subsequent refinement to suit your needs.
How to organize the interior space of the garage
Given the fact that the number of things in the garage will increase over time, it is worthwhile to rationally use the walls, floor, basement (if any) by equipping them with the maximum number of shelves, hooks, racks. For skilled people, a workplace is determined, equipped in accordance with needs.
Storage of bulky items
All items that occupy the space of the garage are conditionally divided according to several characteristics: large and small, required constantly or used once or twice a year. Depending on this, before starting the arrangement of the space, they work out a list of large things that are not often used, which include:
- winter, summer wheels;
- bicycles;
- skis.
Garage bike rack option The list may be longer, perhaps the owner of the garage loves locksmithing, then in his arsenal there will definitely be long pipes (plastic and metal) of various sections, bars and boards. For compact, orderly storage of bulky items, garage home-made or purchased fixtures are used, for example:
- Purchase wall-mounted bicycle holders that allow you to store them in an upright position, which provides significant space savings;
- For rubber sets, special shelves are equipped, on which each wheel lies separately. They are placed in any convenient place, for example, under the ceiling, along the wall or, capturing the corner space, or suspended from the ceiling or wall on an appropriate support, previously cleaned of dirt, packed in special cases. This method of storing tires is only suitable for kits on disks. Considering cases when tires without disks are stored, a rack is welded from metal, on which the tires stand vertically in one row. Place the device under the ceiling or on the floor, securely fixing it;
- With the help of homemade mounts, they provide a compact arrangement of skis, ski poles and other sports equipment.
Attention! A place should be provided in advance in the upper third of the wall for storing a removable trunk.
In addition, craftsmen make various suspended ceiling structures that are parallel to the floor to accommodate long objects, such as pipe cuts or beams.
Devices for small things
For many craftsmen, the number of different-sized screws, nuts, bolts, washers is measured by a bunch of boxes and buckets, in which it is extremely difficult to find the right part. To solve the issue, such gadgets for the garage have been invented that allow you to organize small things and ensure that you quickly find the right part, for example:
- special portable boxes with compartments. A convenient option that allows you not only to store, but also to transfer the required parts if necessary. It should be noted that the cost of the boxes is relatively high, so the ideas below will help reduce costs;
- craftsmen sort small nuts and other parts into jars with twist-on lids, while the lids themselves are securely attached to hanging shelves. It remains only to screw the jar into the lid and the details will always be in sight, at hand.
If financial opportunities are available, they acquire compact storage systems for hardware, nuts and other parts, different in size, differing in fastening capabilities.
Tool storage
The working tool is divided into large-sized and small-sized, respectively, home-made devices for the garage will be different. In most cases, the owners prefer to store a cutting machine, puncher, and other large tools using “native” drawers. Therefore, for their convenient location along the wall, a rack is made from improvised materials, taking into account the total load on the shelves (for home-made structures, the weight should not exceed 150 kg).
Attention! The stores offer a wide variety of models of shelving, made of both wood and metal, withstanding loads of up to 500 kg or more. At a relatively low cost, it is convenient to purchase a ready-made shelving in the garage for the desired size, fixing it against the wall.
For small tools such as wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers and others, organize the space depending on their number:
- sets are stored in purchased boxes, placed on a rack;
- for single items, they either equip cabinets in which each tool is fixed in the corresponding niche, or prepare a perforated surface (as in a store) mounted on the wall and determine a specific place for each of the tools.
Some craftsmen place their tools using plastic pipe structures, in which holes of the appropriate diameter are made.
Homemade machines for garage work
For comfortable repair work, a place is provided for a workbench (to save space, it can be made folding). To begin with, they work out a drawing of the table, thinking over the presence of retractable shelves, then they make it from boards or metal sheets, equip it with a vice and a grinding machine.
In some cases, craftsmen cannot do without home-made machines and other devices made independently and improving the quality of the manufactured item.
Press from improvised tools
Homemade garage press One of the most popular do-it-yourself gadgets in the garage is the press. To create it, you will need a hydraulic jack, a metal surface that will serve as the basis for the moving part of the press, springs and profile pipes or a channel to create a frame. Further:
- create a frame by welding channels and reinforcing the structure with transverse stiffeners, transverse corners are also welded downwards for stability;
- the movable platform is attached to the upper frame with springs, a jack is installed.
The efforts of the press are regulated by a jack.
Homemade screwdriver holder Depending on the needs of the garage owner, other useful home-made machines are made, for example, drilling, made on the basis of a drill, fixed with clamps and moving along the rail with the help of a gear or cutting, or turning.
In addition to the above devices, you should take care of the location of work clothes, provide for the presence of a fire extinguisher or sand (based on fire safety rules), consider ventilation and lighting systems.
Thus, having shown a little ingenuity and thriftiness, you can make do-it-yourself garage fixtures, thereby ensuring compact storage of things and freeing up enough space for minor car repairs and work related to servicing one or another home appliance.

DIY garage accessories
For a true car enthusiast, a garage is a second home. And then the first. Therefore, everyone tries to take its arrangement and equipment seriously. The functionality of each square centimeter of area is also very important. This will allow you to work in a spacious room, and tools and spare parts will be stacked and arranged correctly and in perfect order. As for the arrangement in the domestic plan, we will not talk today, but today we will try to save on equipment.
What should be in the garage
In principle, there is no such device that could not be bought. True, not everyone has the opportunity to spend tidy sums on the purchase of Bosch equipment, by the way, it is useful to look through catalogs with Bosch equipment or Intertool, or Interskol. The young but frisky company Johnsway and Ombra, repainted from green to brown, have great experience and opportunities in this regard.
The catalogs contain a sea of excellent working equipment, fixtures and universal pullers, mandrels for all occasions and, of course, tools that are difficult to look at without a mean male tear. But the cost in the catalogs is unreasonably high, as for a private trader. Service stations, of course, are in more favorable conditions, they earn money with equipment and God himself ordered them to have a better tool. Otherwise, such a master is worthless.
Garage Craftsman Wish List
Still, it is worth making a rough list of what should be in the workshop, and from it already choose accessories for the garage that you can build yourself. Here's what everyone would like to see:
This should be an approximate set of additional equipment, not counting welding, a compressor, two or three angle grinders and two or three drills and screwdrivers of different capacities.
Homemade fixtures
An elementary frame for a grinder can become a universal home-made machine. Applications - mass, made from anything, up to a solid wooden frame. it will be useful in cases where it is necessary to process a small part carefully and with two hands, without clamping the part in a vise. Of course, this design has limitations, but as a small grinder or cut-off machine, it will work for five.
We do not indicate the dimensions, the designs and sizes of the grinders are different. The photos show the essence of the device, and it is not difficult to assemble it. It is worth working on fixing the grinder to the frame - so that it is quickly and securely fixed and quickly removed. Such a device is especially valuable for angle grinders with adjustable speed.
As a base, we use a chipboard sheet of suitable size, which is hinged, as in this design, or on latches, you can use a screw mount.
DIY lathe
The drawing of a small lathe, which is presented, can be useful to those who occasionally have to deal with turning work, and it makes no sense to buy a desktop one. This project will certainly not satisfy those who need high precision and high spindle speeds, but for minimal turning work it will do. Instead of the spindle from the M10 bolt shown in the drawing, use a finished spindle or drill chuck.
Designed for processing wooden and plastic parts, the diameter of the part is up to 50 mm, and the length is up to 200, but can be revised if necessary. If we take it as a basis, then replacing the wooden base with any metal-roll, we get a kind of desktop machine for turning metal.
Tool Storage
Various trifles are often folded in plastic buckets and boxes in the form of a kind of assortment. Therefore, finding the right small tool, drill or nut is quite problematic. For storing small things, jars of mustard, mayonnaise and other products with a metal or plastic lid that is firmly attached to the jar are perfect.
To organize easy access, you will have to sort through everything, separate the cutlets from the flies, the bolts by 10 from the nuts by 6 and sort everything into jars. Covers are screwed to shelves or any horizontal surface, and now it will not be difficult to find the necessary fasteners.
For horizontal storage of loose fasteners, magnetic containers can be used. Convenient thing. Fasteners will not crumble, always in sight, and containers can be arranged as space requires. The main thing is to fix a thin magnetic tape in the right place, and glue large metal washers to the bottom of the containers themselves.
More creative ideas that come to mind inventive craftsmen regarding the organization and storage of tools and fixtures, we have shown in the photo. Use your imagination and reinvent the wheel. And your garage will be the perfect place for a comfortable repair of your favorite car.
