Drawings of homemade homemade tools and devices. How to make a universal machine with your own hands. Hand planing tools

A good owner always has his own workshop, which he fills with equipment and fixtures to suit his needs. Some are bought and some can be made by hand. And we must not forget about the garage, because there should also be all the necessary appliances.

Everything that may ever be needed is impossible to foresee. Therefore, we will consider the most basic machines and mechanisms that can be useful when working with wood or metal.

How to make a universal machine with your own hands

There is a huge amount of different kinds of equipment, many of which in one form or another can be made independently. Craftsmen have even learned to combine several functions in one device.

For example, you can make a universal mechanism from a conventional drill that will work like:

• a circular saw;
• grinding;
• cutting;
• whetstone;
• turning.

For its manufacture, it is necessary to fix a drill on the bed. As a basis, a board is chosen, the thickness of which is 20–25 mm. The drill is fixed for that part of the body, which is intended for attaching another handle.

The place of fixation on the tabletop is chosen based on the size of the circular disc, grinding wheel, cutter, sharpening stone.

To fix the drill, use a rigidly fixed threaded stud and nut. The rigidity of the fixation is achieved using epoxy glue and, as an addition, a pin 2 mm in diameter. We build a moving sole and that's it, the base is ready.

To get a homemade circular machine, we install a saw blade with a diameter of 15 cm on the drill chuck and make a slot for it in the bed. The saw blade must be protected by a metal casing.

If you plan to use a flat cutter instead of a disk, you need to additionally make a rectangular slot or widen the hole for the saw.

From this "circular" saw, you can build a cutting mechanism. To do this, on a rigidly fixed surface, we install a swivel bracket, a joiner's miter box that sets the cutting angle, guides and fixtures that secure the workpiece.

Combine this with a circular saw on the bed. According to the same principle, grinding and turning machines are assembled.

Making a circular with a bed

If you want to have a separate circular machine, then it is easy to build it from a manual circular bought in a store. Such a home-made mechanism is not designed for too large loads, but it is suitable for occasional use on the farm.

We take a bed of a suitable size and fix a manual circular on it, make the maximum cut and leave it in this position. We turn the base with the circular down and install it steadily on the frame with legs.

We make the guide and everything is ready to go. Pay special attention to the height of the machine, it should be comfortable for you to work behind it, and its height is proportionate to your height.

Also in the workshop you may need a pipe bender. This is a device that allows you to bend pipes from almost any metal, as well as strips. Bent pipes are required when a person decides to make, for example, a greenhouse or a greenhouse or something else of the same kind.

Types of pipe benders, let's say, made independently, are different. There are very simple ones, and there are ones that are close in design to the factory ones, it is more difficult to make them.

We get the simplest version of a home-made pipe bender by sawing a board on one side in a semicircle. Then this workpiece is attached to a stable surface and a limiter is mounted nearby - a wooden part that has space up to a semicircular workpiece, into which one end of the pipe is inserted.

Features of homemade fixtures and equipment

You can talk about what equipment for your workshop you can make with your own hands for a long time. But everyone has their own needs and possibilities. In addition to homemade fixtures, there should be places to store tools, as well as a workbench.

Approach to the manufacture of a workbench should be taken seriously. It is necessary to think over what will be attached to it, where it will stand, from what materials it will be built. You can make a tabletop made of metal, you can make it wooden.

You can immediately attach a circular machine, for example, or a jigsaw, various kinds of vise, clamps, and so on. It all depends on your idea and the need for this or that equipment. But the workbench needs to be the right comfortable height, stable and well made.

Also in the working room, various kinds of cabinets, pencil cases for placing and storing existing tools that you can assemble with your own hands are very useful. It is possible to equip separate places for storing large tools and separately for small ones, for example, a separate open cabinet for drills.

The convenience of work depends on how you organize your workspace, how quickly you can find the necessary tool or part, and, in the end, your comfortable well-being.

What can be done for the garage

Often, the garage becomes not only a place to store the car, but also for many necessary tools, and sometimes a workshop at the same time. So here you need to have:

1. Machine repair tools.
2. Spacious shelving for their placement.
3. Garage workbench.
4. Hooks.
5. Shelves or brackets for tires.
6. Lamps and heaters.

These devices are easy to assemble with your own hands. The organization of the garage space should be well thought out. Everything should be placed conveniently and not take up much space. Think about whether you need a workbench and where to put it, what size it will be and where to place racks and shelves.

A workbench will be needed if you repair your car yourself. Usually, all tools are located on shelves and racks next to the workbench. Spare tires are stored either on a special rack or hung on brackets along the walls.

Place all fuels and lubricants on a separate rack. Most often, there are some difficulties with the storage of small parts: screws, nuts, and the like. You can take for this small glass jars with screw caps.

Screw the lid to the bottom of the shelf, sort all the little things into separate jars. So you can save space and put things in order, and the search for the right screw, drill or nut will now be minimized.

For these purposes, you can choose another option. You will need magnetic tape, small clear plastic containers with strong lids, and metal flat washers. Fix the magnetic tape vertically in the place you need.

Attach metal washers to the bottom of the containers. Sort all the small fasteners into ready-made containers and hang them on a magnetic strip.

For repairs, you will also need a viewing hole. And if it is not possible to equip it, then you can build two flyovers to raise the front or rear, or the side of the car. This will fully allow you to fully carry out all repair operations. Flyovers are made of timber and durable boards or metal, if possible.

Well, in the end, good lighting is very important for the garage. It can be general and as an addition to portable and local lamps. And make sure that there is more than one outlet in the garage. If you yourself will be engaged in the repair of the machine, then you need to think about the ventilation of the room.

D For the rational use of space, communications and do-it-yourself garage accessories from improvised materials are used. It is necessary to use the walls, the underground level in the process, place it indoors, organize normal lighting.

Homemade garage fixtures

For comfortable operation of the premises intended for storing cars, you should follow certain recommendations:

Depending on the dimensions of the building, the area occupied by equipment, fixtures, communications should not be more than 10 - 20% of the dimensions of the garage floor.

Storage areas, racks, workbenches

In 80% of cases, do-it-yourself garage fixtures are built to store accessories, tools, and car equipment. It should be noted that the most bulky parts of the car are sets of winter / summer tires, depending on the season.

It is more convenient to store wheels on brackets of the following design:

• two triangular frames from a corner, connected by jumpers from any rolled metal;
• triangles are attached to the wall, the wheels are installed perpendicularly load-bearing structure, slightly falling between the jumpers.

This is the most economical option for storing rubber in the off-season. The most demanded by motorists are straight and corner workbenches. The lower space is usually filled with shelves or drawers; grinding machines and a vice are located on the table top.

It is easier to build a wooden workbench on your own, but it has a smaller resource than an analogue from rolled metal that needs to be welded. If corners for shelves are not laid in the load-bearing walls during construction, it is easier to make racks from rolled metal or lumber.

Original hanging shelves are suitable for storing long items

The design and layout of shelving inside each garage is too individual to follow general guidelines.

Observation hole and cellar

An inspection hole becomes a necessary device for a garage with your own hands. Moreover, the owner does not have to do all the repairs himself. Underground communication can be used in the following cases:

• inspection of the running, steering, braking system before a long trip;
• an oil change that saves money and does not take much time;
• minor repairs, which allows the qualification of the owner.

It is more convenient to arrange the entrance to the cellar from the pit, as this will allow you to concrete several steps instead of using an attached one.

The main nuances of these structures are:

• swelling of clay soils is harmful to underground structures;
• therefore, all elements of the pit and cellar are insulated with polystyrene foam from the outside;
• in the underlying layer before concreting, backfilling of the sinuses of the pits, sand or crushed stone is used;
• along the perimeter of underground structures at the level of the sole, drains are laid to collect and drain water.

The width of the pit should allow the driver to drive into it without lighting.

Lighting and ventilation

In garages, parallel circuits are more often used. lighting fixtures. One lamp allows you to use a specific area, several devices are turned on during a major repair, a visit to the cellar. The minimum power consumption is ensured LED lamps. Daylight devices have a large resource.

Cars use poisonous, harmful fuels and lubricants, so do-it-yourself garage ventilation devices are becoming relevant, allowing you to create air exchange. The inflow is organized from below:

• garage - vents in masonry, protected by bars;
• cellar - a pipe from the garage or from the street.

The hood is mounted under the ceiling of the cellar, the roof of the garage or has the form of air vents in the main walls at the highest points.

Other Helpful Ideas

Useful do-it-yourself garage accessories can be made from used utensils, inventory, materials left after construction. For example, by gluing lids plastic cans horizontally / vertically, the owner receives a convenient transparent dish for equipment or hardware, which is always at hand.

Homemade machines

From the power tool, you can also assemble fixtures for the garage:

• drilling - a drill fixed with clamps in a fixture that moves with a gear along a rail;

• cutting - clamped in a similar way with an angle grinder with a tool for metal or wood;

For every master who does not have at his disposal lathe, the eternal problem in the manufacture of round, cylindrical parts from wood, even such simple ones as tongues, tool handles. Some masters use a jig for these purposes - a steel plate with a thickness of at least 6 mm with holes of different diameters.

Other professions

Lovers of crafts are offered interesting options modernization of a conventional electric drill, which was introduced to its readers by the journal Practic (Germany). Thanks to small additions, it turns into a file or a jigsaw.
The principle of operation of these combined tools is the same: a crank mechanism with a connecting rod creates a translational movement of the working body of the tool.
Such devices make it easier to work with sheet material (plywood, plexiglass, etc.) at home, save time and effort, and the result is much better than when working with conventional hand tools.

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 modern instruments and are not fully utilized. 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 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.

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 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. 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 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. 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.

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 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 bow saw

Homemade fixtures for wood processing 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.

How to sharpen a knife

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.

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

Do-it-yourself devices provide order in the garage. 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 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.

Conclusion

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