The most popular machines are wood and metalworking. Any of them would look great in a home workshop. If not for their price. Today we will tell you how to make useful equipment with your own hands.
Official history believes that the first woodworking lathe was created in 650. BC e. Over the past millennia, machine tool building has stepped far forward, and modern devices perform dozens of tasks. However, we are interested in home-made machines and fixtures for the home workshop.
One of the most popular mechanisms is the lathe. It is designed to give a wooden blank rounded shapes and apply patterns. By the way, some managed to work with them at school labor lessons. Someone remembers his device, but the figure below will help someone:
Most of the details are "talking" names. But during assembly, we will explain what this or that element is responsible for. But since homemade machine, we will leave only the main mechanisms:
This process begins with drawings:
We leave the dimensions of the machine as standard for factory products:
Such dimensions of the device allow you to work with workpieces with a diameter of 250 mm and a length of 200 mm. Of course, the dimensions are not impressive, but this is our first machine. The assembly begins with the manufacture of the frame - the rest of the mechanisms are attached to it.
The next element is the electric drive. Homemade ones are advised to use electric motors of old washing machines for these purposes. Such a drive has an acceptable power and a ready-made control device (bolts and fasteners are a bonus). The power plant is mounted on a separate plate and attached to the frame (sometimes they are made detachable).
Headstock - holds and rotates the workpiece. You can make it yourself from a metal sheet or thick plywood. But it is safer to use a factory spindle with several pins. In factory machines, it is connected to the power plant using a belt drive. We can put the holding device directly on the motor shaft.
The spindle of lathes is a rotating shaft equipped with a mechanism for holding workpieces.
Tailstock - serves to support and rotate the workpiece installed in the machine. It is best to use a metal head from an electric drill for these purposes. In the future, it is used as an independent fastener or for installing a pen drill. The tailstock is mounted on a carriage made of corners or channels, moving along the bed.
By the way, many interesting ideas for home-made machines involve the use of an old power tool.
At the output, we should get something like this:
Along with wooden blanks, metal products are regularly required in the household. To work with it, a person came up with a lot of machines: turning, cutting, milling, etc. A metal-working lathe is similar to woodworking ones - the difference is in the margin of safety and power. The cutting machine involves working with iron sheets. But for an ordinary homeowner, a saw for metal or a grinder is enough for these purposes. But a milling machine is required much more often. With its help, shaped surfaces and planes are processed and complex metal products (pulleys, rollers, etc.) can be manufactured.
The price of a factory milling machine starts at 10 thousand rubles (usually much higher). But if you have free time, some details and skillful hands, it can be assembled at home. Let not too powerful and beautiful, but functional.
For a home milling machine you will need:
As you can see, a visit to a specialized store is inevitable - all kinds of handicraft devices can injure a novice master.
An approximate diagram of the future machine can be seen below:
This drawing is not a standard, but on its basis it is quite possible to develop your own mechanism. After preparing the necessary tools and sketches, you can start assembling. It begins with the creation of a bed and a column. This is a U-shaped structure, laid on its side, where the lower plane is the base of the machine.
The next step is the guides, allowing the console to move vertically. For these purposes, polished corners (No. 25) are used, bolted to the frame. Having finished with the vertical guides, proceed to the horizontal ones. A square pipe is useful here - we drill holes in it through which we pass metal rods with threaded threads (or studs).
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”.
1. Let's start with a folding table, which will be a great helper in a small workshop. It will help to save even a small area. The table has a compartment for small things. A shelf on which you can lay out the necessary tools. Due to the large number of holes, the workpieces can be clamped comfortably and quickly with the help of a clamp. 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.
2. A very original idea for a 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. A great idea for the Samodelkins, who love to do everything with their own hands.
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.
4. If the harvest is large, then the question arises, where to put it? A great option is 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. As a result, we get natural tasty juice and almost dry cake.
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. Having loaded into it everything you need at the moment, we get the entire tool in one place at your fingertips.
6. Another interesting thickness gauge design is 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.
7. Having a jigsaw, you can get a cool grinder. Interestingly, it is not the abrasive that moves, but the workpiece itself.
8. The most budget version of the grinder, created by the Samodelkins. Plastic bottles are used as rollers. 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.
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 where the craftsmen settled, because with such a high level of skill, now you don’t want to hammer walls at home on weekends or rattle with 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.
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 a brilliant idea in terms of simplicity and a radically beneficial idea for those who used to hammer walls with a perforator, realize their inclinations as a woodpecker and a brilliant builder-grinder, and now they can make themselves rich for free, working in silence workshop in the garage or even in a detached 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.
Good afternoon! My long absence from the channel was not in vain, during this time I managed to do a lot of household chores. And of course, stock up on a bunch of homemade products that I will show you, my dear subscribers and guests! It makes no sense to post everything at once, because it also takes a lot of time, but if possible I will try to post at least one a day. Not only am I sitting at the computer, I can’t leave my workshop. Fussing in the garden is another hobby of mine, I spent a lot of time there in the summer. Caring for plants, weeding, although a pleasant experience, however, also requires a lot of strength. And how I would like to make things easier. Wanting alone is not enough, so you have to make yourself useful, which will facilitate the work and make it a pleasure, and not hard labor with a farm laborer.
Today I will show you a device that I have successfully used for almost the entire spring and summer and will last, God forbid, more than one season. Do-it-yourself rooter For manufacturing, I took a square with walls 40 by 40 mm, 220 mm long. I didn’t cut off such a length on purpose, I had a lot of such trimmings from other construction work.
I drew two oblique lines along the walls to the corner of the square. Cutting out, it turned out such a horn. I welded a pipe with a diameter of 25 mm into the inner part of the square. From the outside, I welded a square right in the middle of the square. Instead of a square, you can weld a square, but it seemed to me that it would be more convenient.
I installed a metal handle in the pipe so that it would not break under load, because the force falls mainly on the handle. Working with a flat cutter, some types of weeds still germinate after a certain time, especially after rains. And tearing it out with roots, I ruled out such a possibility and my garden became well-groomed and beautiful. Without damaging the root system, they can still take out seedlings for transplanting, which I did at the beginning of the season with strawberries and other plants.
Gooseberries are a tasty and healthy berry. The plant itself is quite unpretentious, it does not require any special care. Berries grow large, it is quite convenient to collect them. And everything would be fine if it were not for the thorny gooseberry branches. Because of these garden "cacti" before, the hands were constantly in small scratches. And several times you will think “do you need it - so many berries” before you climb deep into the bush for the harvest. But a few years ago, my husband made my life easier. He spied on the Internet one very simple but useful device for picking berries. What is it for and how is it useful?
In fact, such a picker can be used not only for collecting gooseberries. I also use it to pick any other berries / fruits in hard-to-reach places where it’s so easy to reach with your hand. For example, to remove plums, cherries or apples from high branches. How to make a device for collecting gooseberries? Everything ingenious is simple! We take a plastic bottle and cut a hole in the side in the form of a droplet. Depending on what kind of berries / fruits you have a picker, we make this drop diameter. For gooseberries, 5-7 cm is enough, for apples and plums more, so that you do not have to aim for a long time and try to hit the fruit. The volume of the bottle will also depend on what you will be collecting. For berries, a 0.5 liter bottle is better.
The spout of the droplet should point towards the bottom of the bottle. You can also make an incision a couple of centimeters in the continuation of the nose, so that the twig is better captured. Everything, our device is ready! We will collect berries by holding it by the neck.
It's actually much easier to do it with him. Not only do the hands remain scratch-free, but also the work goes faster. After all, the harvested crop will be poured into the top of the bottle. Accordingly, it is not necessary to “get out” of the bush after each berry, put the crop in a can or jar and climb again. Plus, we can get berries even from the most inaccessible places. And most importantly - that such a device is made in 3 minutes, does not cost a penny, and life simplifies at times. If it gets lost, gets dirty, it doesn't matter - we'll do another one without any problems! So, gardeners, take advantage!

This article discusses home-made machines and fixtures for the home workshop. It details the features of the most popular and necessary DIY tools, as well as fixtures for a workshop or garage, step-by-step technologies for their manufacture, and other useful recommendations on this topic.
Many owners of home workshops create the equipment they need with their own hands.
Each owner of a garage or workshop, depending on his needs, selects the equipment himself. Many of them know how home-made machines and fixtures for garages are made, so they manage on their own when arranging the premises, adjusting the technical features of the structures for themselves.
So, when creating metal drawings and the dimensions of the product on them, they can be adjusted to the parameters of the room and other conditions. Even a small home workshop will need to allocate enough space to accommodate at least the construction of a universal folding workbench and a minimal set of tools. The required area for this is at least 3-5 m².
Useful advice! It is better to equip the workshop in a separate room so that the noise from the work of a home-made wood grinding machine and other tools does not interfere with the residents. Under the placement of machines, you can take a garage, the area of \u200b\u200bwhich is enough for comfortable work and installation of equipment.
In fact, it is very difficult to achieve optimal working conditions. It is desirable that the size of the room be at least 6.5 m. To equip the workshop, you can make an extension to the house or garage. This decision will be the most profitable in any case.
Before you design a drawing of a folding workbench with your own hands, which has the most overall design (therefore, its dimensions are taken into account in the first place), it is worth deciding on some points:
By mounting the tool on the wall, you can significantly save useful space in the workshop. Shelves or racks are perfect for this. You can successfully arrange these structures, achieving the most rational distribution of the area.
In order to save space, you can get a special device for a circular saw with your own hands, made on the basis of a conventional drill. Such a universal machine can perform several functions at once, combining the possibilities:
The work table can be combined with a carpentry workbench and equipped with drawers to store small tools.
Metal structures are more durable and reliable, while wooden structures are affordable.
There are several options for rational storage of tools:
Useful advice! The shield shelf is very convenient for metalwork and carpentry work. You can install tool holders or hooks, small shelves or containers for fasteners on it. It is best to hang such a structure over a folding carpentry workbench. You can even bring additional lighting. It is better to use a small lamp for this.
Do-it-yourself tool shelf manufacturing technology (shield):
It remains only to fix the shelf-shield on the wall. To prevent the eyes from slipping off the anchors, it is recommended to fix them with special washers.
The following details must be present on the drawing of the carpentry workbench:
Useful advice! The linear parameter of the workbench can exceed 1 m. The increased size of the structure can be used to install two carpentry vices with your own hands.
There are several modifications of workbenches:
Having familiarized yourself with the device of the carpentry workbench, you can begin to manufacture it.
Step-by-step construction technology:
Note! Do not use nails to mount the cover. In the process of driving them, the frame part of the product may move.
Despite the fact that the technology for creating this design is in many ways similar to the previous version, for the manufacture of a composite carpentry workbench, drawings with dimensions will be required without fail. But in this case, bolts are used instead of self-tapping screws.
In addition, in a folding universal workbench with your own hands, you can install drawers for storing tools.
Do-it-yourself folding workbench manufacturing technology:
Note! Folding workbench drawings are not as complicated as they might seem. The advantage of the design is that any damaged part can be easily replaced with a new one.
Usually workbenches are equipped with a vise. Many owners of garage workshops know how to make such a device with their own hands. For a homemade design, you will need special studs. Such fasteners are sold in hardware stores.
To work, you will need a special screw pin. This threaded part is the main active component of the structure. The minimum pin diameter is 2 cm, the cutting length is 15 cm. The longer this part is, the wider the vise can be spread. If these dimensional parameters are taken into account in the drawings of the vise with your own hands, you can get a design that is bred by almost 8 cm.
The jaws of the tool are made from a pair of boards. One part of the part will be fixed. To make it, you need to take pine. The second part measuring 2x1.8x50 cm will move. In each of these boards you need to make a hole for the screw. Using a drill with a diameter of 1 cm, holes for studs are formed in all boards at the same time. To prevent the holes from moving relative to each other, you can connect them with nails.
After all the holes are made, the screw and all the studs are inserted into them along with the washer and nut.
Useful advice! To be able to process workpieces of different sizes, you need to make the studs rearrangeable. You will need to make a couple of additional holes in each of the boards, located near the screw clamp.
Additionally, you can use the video material below to create a vise with your own hands.
For locksmith work, it is better to make a metal workbench with your own hands, because a wooden workbench is not suitable for this. The thing is, wood is not that strong. In addition, when working with metal blanks, a countertop made of this material will be constantly damaged and will quickly become unusable.
In the general drawing of a do-it-yourself locksmith workbench, five main structural components can be distinguished:
Locksmith workbench dimensions:
Useful advice! In order to make high-quality seams, it is recommended to use a carbon dioxide semiautomatic device. Experienced craftsmen can use a pulse type welding machine. In the absence of skills in handling this tool, it is better to entrust the work to professionals.
Making a universal workbench with your own hands begins with assembling the frame. To do this, take a couple of short and a couple of long beams. During the welding process, these elements may be subjected to twisting.
To prevent this, you must:
Then the rear vertically arranged racks and the rear beam (long, one of three) are attached. Be sure to check how evenly in relation to each other they are placed. If there are any deviations, the beams can be carefully bent with a hammer. At the end, the rest of the rack elements are assembled with a vertical arrangement, as well as elements that provide rigidity.
When the frame is ready, corners can be welded to it, designed to strengthen the structure. The tabletop is formed from wooden boards. They must first be impregnated with a fire-resistant liquid. Then a sheet of metal is laid on top.
A plywood shield for tools can be attached to the vertical rack elements. The same material is used to sew up cabinets. For boxes, you can use metal boxes or make wooden structures.
You can use it in order to understand in more detail the technology of making a workbench with your own hands, the video, which is located below:
In the technology of manufacturing a lathe for wood with your own hands, the frame occupies a special place. The operation of other parts, as well as the stability of the entire structure, directly depends on this part. It can be metal or wood.
Useful advice! For the manufacture according to standard drawings of a wood lathe with your own hands, it is better to use an electric motor that can reach a speed of 1500 rpm. The optimal power indicator is 200-250 watts. If you plan to process large workpieces, you can increase the power ratings.
To create a wood lathe with your own hands, you can use the old one, which is no longer needed. This tool is placed on a plywood platform 1.2 cm thick and 20x50 cm in size. First, you need to make holes in it for fasteners. Stops from the bars will also be mounted here. They are necessary in order for the cutter to be in a fixed state. The router itself is fastened with two nails between the clamps.
In fact, it is quite easy to make a copying design of a home-made wood lathe with your own hands - there are enough video materials on the network.
For the base, it is better to take a steel profile with thick walls. To make the design reliable, it is recommended to use two supports. A bed will be installed on top of them. To fasten parts, a groove type of connection is used. First you need to make support platforms designed for headstocks (rear and front).
The list of parts for a wood lathe (how to assemble the structure yourself based on this list is easy to understand):
Note! To work with this design, you will need to purchase a set of factory cutters. If you have the right tool, you can make them yourself, but you will need tool steel.
As auxiliary information, you can use a video that reflects this process in detail to assemble a wood lathe with your own hands.
An alternative solution would be to make the design of the simplest mini-lathe for wood with your own hands based on an electric drill. This example of technology can be used as a test before building a more serious tool.
This type of machine is suitable for processing small wood blanks. The material for the bed can serve as bars of wood. The tailstock can be replaced with a combination of a shaft mounted on a thrust bearing. To fix the workpiece, you will need to get the appropriate one.
This design has its drawbacks, they are associated with:
But you should not refuse this option, because it is the basis of technologies for creating more advanced and complex turning tools. To correctly calculate the design, determine for yourself the necessary operational properties and technical characteristics.
The technology in this case is complicated only by the correct choice of workpieces, which must not only have a level of hardness of the cutting edge that meets the requirements, but also be correctly installed in the retainer - holder.
Note! In the absence of tool steel, you can get by with improvised means. After the preliminary preparation stage is completed, the material is further hardened.
Turning: A - with a semicircular blade for rough turning; B - with a straight blade for fine turning; B - shaped; G - machine through passage
On the machine, it is possible to provide for the possibility of changing cutters. To do this, a special modification of the housing is made with the necessary mounting parts. These elements must be strong enough to withstand the loads during operation and at the same time maintain the original location of the edge part.
When the cutter is made, it is sharpened, and the cutting edge is hardened. After the cutting part has become hot, the cutter must be dipped in engine oil. With the help of slow hardening technology, the surface of the product can be made as hard as possible. In this case, the heated billet should cool down in a natural way.
To make a sharpener from an engine from a washing machine with your own hands, you can limit yourself to a motor from an old Soviet design, for example, CMP-1.5 or Riga-17. A power of 200 watts will be enough, although you can increase this figure to 400 watts by choosing a different engine option.
The list of parts needed for a do-it-yourself grinding machine includes:
The flange diameter must match the hub dimensions on the motor. In addition, a grindstone will be put on this part. On the one hand, this element is carved. The indent should be equal to the thickness of the circle multiplied by 2. The thread is applied with a tap. On the other hand, the flange must be pressed onto the motor shaft by heating. Fixation is carried out by bolting or welding.
Useful advice! The thread should go in the opposite direction relative to the direction in which the rotational movements of the motor are performed. Otherwise, the nut that fixes the circle will unwind.
The working winding of the motor is connected to the cable. It has a resistance of 12 ohms, which can be calculated using a multimeter. The starting winding for a do-it-yourself knife sharpener will have 30 ohms. Then the bed is made. It is recommended to take a metal corner for her.
Some people need . You can make such a design with your own hands from a bed with 3 supports, two spindles, a stepper motor (2 kW) and pipes used as holders.
Creating a table for a hand-held circular saw with your own hands is the most important step in creating a machine, since this design will accommodate the main parts of the equipment in the form of:
The base frame on the table for hand tools acts as a do-it-yourself guide for a circular saw. It controls the direction in which the cut is made and fixes the workpiece.
A sawmill is a modification of a circular saw. The only difference is that the disc is placed at the bottom. The do-it-yourself function of the bed is assigned to the design of the table for a circular saw. A power unit, a block, a fixing disk and a control system are also installed here.
At the design stage for a circular saw with your own hands drawings, some factors should be taken into account:
Useful advice! If the table is made for the manual version of the tool, it is recommended to make the tabletop metal. A sheet of metal should be equipped at the base with stiffeners.
First, a tabletop is made of sheet material. Marking is applied to it in accordance with the size of the toolkit. According to this markup, cutouts are made for installing the saw.
For a do-it-yourself circular saw machine, you will need legs. They are mounted taking into account the dimensions of the tabletop made of wooden beams with a section of 4x4 cm. Use is allowed. To provide additional stability, stiffeners should be installed between the supports. A control unit is placed next to the workplace. Do not refuse to install RCDs and devices that protect the engine from overloads.
Manufacturing technology of a homemade cutting machine:
Useful advice! Experts advise using an asynchronous motor. Such a motor is not particularly demanding. For networks with 3 phases, a motor with a power of 1.5-3 kW is required, for single-phase networks this figure must be increased by a third. You will need to connect with a capacitor.
It remains to mount the motor on the short arm of the rocker arm. A cutting element is placed on the long arm. The shaft and motor are connected by a belt drive. For the countertop, you can use a sheet of metal, a planed board.
A good drawing of a drilling machine from a drill with your own hands is the main condition for acquiring the necessary tools. To create such a machine, you do not need to use special materials and buy additional components.
Components for the design of a homemade drilling machine with your own hands:
In mastering the technology of manufacturing a drilling machine from a drill with your own hands, video material can be of invaluable assistance.
A guide to creating a drilling machine with your own hands (how to make the simplest design):
For a do-it-yourself drilling mini-machine, a rotary tool feed mechanism is required. The classic design scheme involves the use of a spring and a lever. The spring is fixed between the block and the rack.
There are many do-it-yourself devices, video material will help you understand this topic.
The software is considered an important component in a do-it-yourself CNC wood router. Drawings of a conventional design, subject to this condition, should include additional elements under it:
Useful advice! To make a copy-milling machine for wood or metal with your own hands, you can use carriages belonging to an old printer. Based on these parts, you can create a mechanism that allows the cutter to move in two planes.
At the first stage, do-it-yourself drawings are drawn up for a wood milling machine, which include information on the placement of all structural components, their dimensions, as well as methods of fixation.
Next, a support frame is assembled from pipes pre-cut into parts of the required size. For bonding, you need to use a welding machine. Then dimensional control is performed in order to proceed with the manufacture of the working surface.
You need to act within the framework of the following scheme:
Be sure to test the machine before work. The included router should not vibrate too much. To compensate for this shortcoming, it is recommended to additionally install stiffeners.
Step-by-step instructions for making a homemade metal milling machine:
Note! It is better to fix the rotary element in the frame so that the spindle is pointing down. For fixing, it is necessary to weld the jumpers in advance, you will need screws and nuts.
After that, you need to attach a cone (Morse 2) to the spindle and install a collet or drill chuck on it.
Do-it-yourself thicknesser drawings with a complex design involve the use of expensive components:
As a result, the cost of making a homemade thickness gauge increases significantly. For this reason, many try to limit themselves to the simplest design.
Instructions for a homemade thicknessing machine for wood:
Structural element | Data |
bed | Frames (2 pcs.), made using welding on the basis of a corner (4-5 cm). The frames are connected by studs (grinded 6-sided - 3.2 cm). |
broach | Rubber rollers squeeze type from the washing machine. They are machined to the size of the bearings and put on an axle with a diameter of 2 cm. It operates due to rotational manual movements. |
Table | The polished board is attached to the frame with a bolted connection, the heads must be countersunk. Boards need to be treated with oil (already used). |
Engine | for 3 phases, power - 5.5 kW, rotational speed - 5000 rpm. |
Protective cover | Made of tin (6 mm) put on over a frame corner (20 mm). |
To create a home-made thicknessing machine, you need to place a planer on a bar, fix it with a device such as clamps, while not forgetting to leave a gap.
Note! The size of the gap is set taking into account the thickness of the workpiece to be processed on the machine.
The scheme for making a thickness gauge from a planer with your own hands is very simple:
Two clamps hold the base on the table, the other two hold the planer. After making sure that this mount is reliable, you can start using the tool.
Calibrating - grinding machines for wood belong to the group of drum structures. This category is broad and includes many types of equipment.
For the manufacture of a drum grinder for wood with your own hands, you can choose the following designs:
From the video below, you can learn how to make a grinding type machine with your own hands.
In the designs of a self-made jointer, it is very important to correctly set the equipment setting so that the errors do not exceed the permitted values:
You can familiarize yourself with the technology of making a jointer with your own hands using the video.
If, during operation, the effect of mossiness or scorching appears on the treated surface, then the cutting elements have become dull. To make the processing of parts with dimensions less than 3x40 cm more comfortable, they must be held with the help of pushers.
The curved surface of the workpiece after the completed processing indicates that the correct placement of the knives and the working surface is violated. These elements need to be set again.
All of these machines can be useful for home repairs or basic repairs. Therefore, their presence in the home workshop will be useful. Regardless of what the equipment of the garage will be, all machines require a careful and attentive attitude. When working, never forget about safety.
Currently, you can buy ready-made machines to equip your own workshop, but all this will be quite expensive. Homemade machines help the master in his practical work, while not burdening his budget. Why buy something that you can do with your own hands, and even in relation to specific conditions.
Each owner chooses the equipment of his own workshop. It depends on the hobby, i.e. type of work and space. The minimum area of a home workshop in which it makes sense to place equipment is 3-4 m².
It can be located in a small room or on the balcony of an apartment, a separate building on its own plot or in a garage. The ideal option is a secluded room in which you can make noise without disturbing other people.
Custom home workshop can be universal, i.e. for carrying out any work that unexpectedly arose in everyday life, or have a specific direction associated with the passion of the master. Most often, workshops are equipped for working with wood, i.e. for carpentry. Quite often there is a need for metal processing ( locksmith work) And car repair.
In general, the arrangement of a home workshop includes the following elements:
Place the equipment in such a way that it is free approach, observed safety and fire regulations provided minimal comfort.
Home workshop set up begins with the installation of practical shelves for hand tools. They can be made of metal or wood, and also have a combined design - a metal frame with shelves made of wood, plywood, chipboard, plastic, etc.
There are such basic structures:
Practical shelves-shields have such a design. The basis is a shield cut out of plywood 8-12 mm thick.
Mountings of 3 types are mounted on it:
Such a shelf-shield is fixed to the wall with dowels.
A carpenter's workbench is a sturdy table with a work surface on which holdfast(2 pieces), clamps for fixing the workpiece when planing with a planer, places for installation are provided milling machine and other manual machines.
Important. The dimensions of the workbench are selected based on practical considerations.
The height should ensure the convenience of work, taking into account the actual growth of the master. The length must be at least 1 m (usually 1.7-2 m), and the width is 70-80 cm.
Instructions for making a carpentry workbench:
reference. The workbench can be mobile (mobile), folding (collapsible) or stationary. In the latter case, it is recommended to deepen the supports into the ground by 15-20 cm.

Even in a homemade lathe, it is better to use factory cutters that provide superior quality. However, if you wish, you can manage this issue on your own. Homemade cutters wood can be made from the following materials:
Prepared cutter blanks sharpened. For rough work, a semi-circular cutting edge is used, and for finishing, a cutter with a straight blade is used. In addition, shaped and through cutters with specific sharpening may be required. Next, the cutting requires hardening. To do this, it is heated, and then lowered into engine oil.
The most important element of a stationary circular saw is sturdy worktop table. A metal sheet reinforced with stiffeners from a steel corner is most suitable for it. On the worktop are the following details: cutting disc, guides, thrust and adjusting elements.

In a home workshop equipped in a garage, you can repair your car with your own hands. In particular, the following home-made devices and machines are of interest.
He will help when extracting and crimping silent blocks car. With its help, a load of several hundred kg is provided.
The design consists of a frame and a hydraulic jack. The frame is welded from a rectangular tube of high strength.
After lifting the car, it is she who becomes a stationary, reliable support for the car.
This allows you to safely press out the jammed part. using internal rims from the bearing.
It can be made in different ways:
To maintain a home comfortable and convenient, sophisticated equipment is required. It greatly facilitates household work, but certain skills and knowledge are required to maintain it. 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:
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.
Wood processing is most common in the 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.
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. The Festool MFT 3 workbench has good characteristics. However, the price of 30 thousand rubles makes you think. 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 of 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. You can make a metal frame, and then attach the countertop 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.
To work in the country or in a 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.
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 plate and fix it on a workbench that has a solid base. 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.
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 of the disk 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 of \u200b\u200bthe disk. The mount can be anything, as long as it is reliable.
When working with a circular saw, you should remember that it has high speed and safety rules must be observed.
Homemade woodworking tools can be very simple but effective. These include the bow saw. A thin blade makes it possible to quickly saw a large 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.
Manual sharpening for knives is more effective because a strong cutting edge is obtained. To facilitate the process, a home-made device is widespread. 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.
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.
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.
Normal work with the car is carried out using a standard set of tools. Craftsmen make special equipment. A puller is often required to tighten bearings. The most convenient is the three-valve design. A 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 collar is cut and the necessary holes are drilled. 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.
Homemade tools for the workshop allow you to solve many problems in the household and subsidiary farms with minimal effort and cost.
