Over time, a finished “motorhome” acquires a large number of tools. Conventional homemade products for the garage bring practical benefits without overpayments. Any machines made by yourself will not be inferior in quality to their factory counterparts. Let's look at some devices.
Take a durable one a metal sheet. A fragment of an angle is welded to the upper lower part of the plate, and a threaded bolt is fixed to the lower part (top) of the sheet. The bolt thread includes a nut, which changes the sharpening angle and serves as a lateral movement hinge. In a vertical position, a similar nut is welded to the main nut.
Thus, the useful device receives a hole for the rod in the bolt. The rod is made by hand from thin wire. The carving is made taking into account the length of the sharpening bars.
The bar clamp can be created from:
- organic glass;
- ebonite;
- saw clamp.
Top part The plate performs the function of a clamp. Surface with two drilled holes applied to the bed. Then a common through hole is made closer to the knife. The thread is cut in the frame.
So, homemade device with your own hands it’s almost ready. The second hole is made only on the plate away from the knife. Then cut a thread for the bolt (needed for tightening). A simple homemade mechanism for the garage allows you to sharpen knives in hiking conditions.
The artificial diamond stone is affordable and very wear-resistant.
Pulley for adjusting the speed and load on the machine motor
Homemade products for the garage - DIY pulley
Simple homemade craft It is advantageous in that the part is made by hand with the parameters needed for the motor shaft. It is recommended to make the pulley from:
- metal;
- PCB;
- plywood (something between wood and metal).
One small and two bigger size circle. The center of the molds must correspond to the diameter of the shaft. To avoid problems with further manipulations, the circles are glued together or seated on a screw and tightened with a nut.
The parts of the useful device are tightened with screws. Then the pulley should be processed sandpaper or with a file, placing the structure on the drill chuck. The finished machine fragment can be additionally polished.
- Avoid vibration, make sure that the center of gravity is on the axis of rotation.
- You can make a toothed pulley. Small channels are made at the central circle before all stages of assembly.
- If necessary, a small pulley is made from a thick piece of plywood (one circle). A groove is made in the mold and the part is placed on a screw. A narrow file is applied to the rotating circle.
Multifunctional homemade products for a garage of this type do not require numerous drawings and calculations. The design is created simply and quickly:
- top and bottom frames;
- molding plastic;
- coupling bolts;
- perforated MDF;
- opening for the vacuum chamber;
- plywood base with a hole in the middle.
A hole is made in a fragment of MDF or plywood (50 by 50 cm) for PVC pipes with a three-inch diameter. A frame of beams (30 by 30 cm) is attached to the resulting base with glue. To achieve tightness, all cavities are sealed with sealant.
edge water pipe one end is glued to the base, and the other is connected to the vacuum cleaner hose. The entire structure stands on legs.
Certain holes are cut in the upper and lower frames to accommodate the vacuum chamber frame (firmly glued to the base). Along the perimeter of the frame, cavities for fastening elements are made at equal distances.
Types of thermoplastic plastic used:
- polystyrene;
- polycarbonate;
- acrylic;
- polyethylene;
- plexiglass.
DIY jigsaw - homemade products for the garage
Interesting homemade items for the garage are usually made from utility material. In this case, broken manual jigsaw don't rush to throw it away. On its platform you can make a desktop analogue.
If the speed regulator in the machine refuses to work and the saw blade holder is broken, simple steps will fix the problems.
Step by step action:
- A steel square with a bolt soldered into it is made with your own hands as a file holder block.
- The improved block is soldered to the previous saw holder.
- Attention is paid to the desktop. Plywood is chosen as the base. The narrow table area is the same size as a jigsaw.
- Furniture legs are mounted in the front plane of the table, towards the rear plane working area a small one is fixed wooden stand.
- To create leverage, use only hard wood.
- The lever hole must be created slightly larger diameter studs (adjusts spring tension).
The described homemade craft should stand on a “sole” that will not interfere with the work process. If necessary, a corner is cut in the area of the base plate.
In specialized stores you rarely find a wide range of wood cutters. If necessary useful crafts are made independently.
- Reyer.
- Meisel.
- Shaped cutters:
A semicircular grooved chisel-cutter is used for rough turning. The part is made from strips of tool steel.
A universal cutting device used for finishing parts. The tool is made from standard straight chisels.
- chisel scraper.
- comb cutter.
a tool based on a straight chisel with one-sided sharpening levels the surface of cylindrical workpieces;
a homemade device helps to fill threads and apply decorative marks to a wooden rod.
Cutting tool for soft breed wood (aspen, linden) has a smaller sharpening angle compared to the sharpening angle of the device for processing boxwood, oak, and birch.
The “branded” extension cord reel is made from two plywood disks that are bolted together. The fragments are separated by a duralumin tube and washers.
On one side of the reel, the bolts are recessed to ensure contact with the handle without injury. On the other side, two holes for sockets are drilled at a certain distance. Socket boxes are attached with screws.
Proper storage and use of the tool
It is dangerous to operate an extension cord while leaving the device on damp ground or floor. Therefore, it is worth making several holders: pieces plastic pipes with slots.
Each pipe is attached to a plywood plate with self-tapping screws through a slot. To prevent the pipe fragment from becoming loose during operation, pieces of glazing beads are glued under the sides of the holder with PVA glue.
When it is necessary to hang the holder on the garage wall, the handle is inserted into the holder tube. The handle post fits tightly into the slot and is fixed. With this additional equipment, the reel is mounted on the ceiling or on the bottom of the shelves.
In order for the extension ram to rotate easily, a small handle is mounted on the edge of the device disk, which consists of tubular sections various diameters. A larger diameter pipe is placed on a smaller hose and firmly fixed with a flat screw.
Order in the garage means convenient open storage all frequently used tools and compact storage of various small items “in reserve”.
Often the garage and home workshop are combined, so all tools and consumables should have a convenient storage system.
As soon as the storage system becomes not very convenient for regular maintenance, the garage again turns into a spontaneous warehouse.
It is better to use open shelves to store tools in the garage. It will be very convenient if these shelves are removable.
In the workshop garage you need to place not only regular set car enthusiast tools and home handyman, but sometimes garden tools, and travel equipment.
Make the most of the entire height of the room. In plastic boxes just under the ceiling and on the floor you can put those things that you use from time to time.
The tool storage system in the garage uses the entire wall area as a stand. Separate sections-shelves for storing tools and Supplies.
Wooden guides are used here, but it is better to use metal pipes. If over time the guide we see in the photo crumbles, a box with a heavy tool could fall right on your foot.
You can make such an organizer for storing consumables yourself from sheets of plywood, which are connected with hinges in the form of a book.
A lockable stand-box for home craftsman's tools will allow him to easily maintain the necessary order in the garage.
Metal mesh is convenient for storing paint cans, fertilizer bags, etc.
Metal guides and metal shelves not only ensure safe tool storage, but are also easy to clean.
It is inconvenient to keep a power tool in a company suitcase; it is much more convenient to make such an open stand for storage.
The owner has a lot of necessary little things in his garage, and each of them has its own storage method.
Most tool storage methods are simple, but still more effective.
Very convenient design for storing consumables! The box with self-tapping screws that you use is secured to a separate panel, and upon completion of work, it is pushed into a common organizer.
Each owner has his own scope of activity and different quantities tools. But convenient organization labor always makes you want to do something more. Take the time to tidy up your garage.
Sliding panels provide additional storage space for tools. Make sure that they will work reliably without getting stuck in the grooves, otherwise this storage method will not be practical.
Simple and convenient. Store your instrument wisely! If you don’t have a garage, and you store all your tools in a small box on the balcony, then even there you can organize a small work cabinet.
Let's continue for the happy owners of the garage. Before us convenient way storage of clamps.
Some storage ideas can be found in stores that sell tools.
But our garage contains more than just tools. We also have pipes, planks, and the necessary pieces of plywood and plastic.
It's not difficult to assemble one like this ceiling structure from pipes and in your own garage.
Large sheets of plywood and drywall are best stored this way - in a vertical position.
For scraps of plywood, plastic, etc. You can make a wall rack like this.
Even a dozen boards can create a mess in your garage. Let's do it simple design for storage.
Another convenient way to store long pipes and all kinds of strips in the garage.
A small workbench can also serve as a storage place for boards and pieces of plywood.
You don't have to clean out your garage in one day. All this can be done gradually, step by step.
An ideal garage should organically combine the functions of a reliable shelter for a car and a well-equipped place for performing various repairs and other work. There are a number useful recommendations on the interior arrangement of the garage, with the majority necessary equipment you can make it yourself without spending money on buying them.
Work on the interior arrangement of a garage involves the use of many different useful devices. Read the suggested instructions and your garage will become the most convenient and comfortable.
Usually in the garage you have to store not only the car, but also many tools and other accessories. To conveniently place all this, you need to equip the garage with racks, shelves, hooks and other similar devices.
The best option - spacious rack. You can do it yourself. Fill in the remaining free space convenient shelves. There is nothing complicated in making them either. More detailed instructions you will receive next.
Get to grips with your tools. Arrange them according to frequency of use. The items you use most often should be stored in the drawers closest to the workbench. Store heavy equipment on the lower shelves of the rack; allocate space near the ceiling for spare tires - you will need them least often.
Secure the brackets
These devices will help you conveniently store replacement tires. Place the brackets closer to the ceiling, so the wheels will not take up space. usable space. For tires, buy large bags, or better yet, special covers to protect them from dust.
He's a workbench. The structure can be easily assembled with your own hands from boards and bars. You can attach a vice and other tools needed in the garage to the table. It is more convenient when the workbench is installed next to shelves and racks.
Organize your lighting system wisely
You will need several lamps: above the place where the car hood is usually located, above the desktop, in others important places garage. Ideally, the lighting system should be organized so that you can turn on all the lamps at the same time and each of them separately. An ordinary double switch will help you do this.
Install an outlet near your garage door and above your workbench.
Designate a place to store your work uniform. One shelf or at least a basic hook will be enough. Also provide a place to store work shoes and personal protective equipment.
Security questions
Substances such as gasoline, oil, etc. are stored in the garage. To store them, you need to allocate a separate cabinet or at least a shelf not far from the gate. Place a box of sand nearby and hang a fire extinguisher on the wall.
Each tool in the garage must have its own place, otherwise there will simply be no order in the room. For organization convenient storage things, assemble a homemade rack. Ready-made models are quite expensive, and do not always meet the needs of a particular person. Therefore, it is much more profitable and rational to make a rack “for yourself” right away.
Assemble the rack in such a way that it can withstand a load of at least 150 kg. In this case, the load on each individual section should not exceed 500 kg. The rack can be assembled from wood or metal. The design can be straight or angular.
As for wood, preference should be given to the most durable species such as oak, hornbeam, beech, etc. Everything before assembly wooden elements structures are treated with antiseptic impregnation. Thanks to this treatment, the wood will be more resistant to moisture and various bacteria and will last much longer.
If possible, plan and sand all frame elements with high quality.
Make shelves from plywood or chipboard. DVL and OSB boards are also suitable. The main thing is that the plate has a thickness of at least 4 mm. The higher the expected load on the shelves, the thicker they should be.
To give the shelves a more presentable appearance, it is recommended to cover them with decorative film or paint them. Also, such processing will allow you to better get rid of contaminants in the future.
The simplest rack is made in several steps. Complete each of them in sequence. Various sizes will be given below. You can stick to them or change the dimensions at your discretion.
First step. Take a 9 cm wide board and cut it into several pieces of different lengths: 30 cm, 27.5 cm and 18 cm. From these pieces you will make spacers.
Second step. Take a board 19 cm wide and cut it into the required number of 36 cm long sections. From these sections you will make shelves for your rack.
Third step. Mark on the board that serves as the base the places for attaching the spacers. It is recommended to install spacers at a distance of 2.5 cm from each edge of the base. Glue the top spacer, then nail it to it top shelf with pre-fixed spacer. Do similar manipulations with the remaining spacers and shelves. The bottom brace is attached last.
Fourth step. Turn the rack over and tighten the spacers to the base of the structure using screws.
Fifth step. Handle everything thoroughly wooden surfaces sandpaper and apply a double coat of oil varnish. If you wish, you can cover the shelves with decorative film or decorate them with other material at your discretion.
Sixth step. Attach the shelving unit to the wall using anchor screws. Place fasteners under the lower and upper shelves.
Using this scheme, you can assemble a rack from the required number of sections. To strengthen the structure, place between sections wooden blocks. This will help distribute loads evenly throughout the system.
If there is no space to install a full-fledged rack or, on the contrary, you have installed racks and there is some unoccupied space left, be sure to make several convenient and simple shelves for storing a variety of accessories.
First step. Determine where to place the shelves. Accordingly, set the required quantity and optimal sizes products.
Second step. Prepare the required number of boards and fasteners in accordance with the plan drawn up at the previous stage.
Third step. Mark on the walls where the future shelves will be attached.
Fourth step. Armed with a hammer drill, prepare holes in the walls in accordance with the markings and screw dowels into them. It is best to use dowels with hooks - they will provide a more reliable fixation of the shelves.
Fifth step. Attach eye hangers to the board. When choosing a distance, refer to the markings on the wall. Use self-tapping screws to attach metal hangers. If you don't have them, you can get by with ordinary nails.
Metal shelves

Metal shelves
Sixth step. Fix the finished shelves in their intended places.
Remember: it is better to make several short shelves than one long one, which will break under the weight of the objects placed on it.
If you wish, you can do decorative finishing shelves, for example, cover them with film or paint them. Make sure the shelves hang level. A tool called a level will help you control this moment.
To make working in the garage as comfortable and productive as possible, assemble and install a workbench in a convenient place. With it you can repair both car parts and other household accessories. A homemade workbench has a big advantage over a ready-made factory-made model - you can make a table of the size that you need.
Workbench assembly kit
- Boards.
- Bars.
- Fasteners.
- Plane.
- Ties.
- Tool for wood processing.
- Wood glue.
- Sandpaper.
- Drying oil.
First step. Think it over optimal design workbench. The main elements of such a product are the underframe and the tabletop. The design also includes one or more clamping devices.
Second step. Assemble the tabletop. The best option– a tabletop made of 20 boards measuring 200x10x5 cm. Prepare grooves for stops measuring 2.5x2.5 cm in the 5th and 16th boards. Place the grooves in 25 cm increments.
Use glue and metal ties to connect the boards. Before gluing, the surfaces of the boards must be planed.
Third step. Plan the dry tabletop thoroughly. You should get a smooth, flat surface. Over time, the wood will shrink. You need not to miss this moment and tighten the nuts on the ties in a timely manner.
Fourth step. Make the legs. To do this, use high-quality blocks measuring 80x10x10 cm. Make grooves for the brackets in the front supports. The brackets will later be connected to longitudinal beam. This type of beam is commonly used in the construction of window frames.
Fifth step. Assemble the base of the table from two frames and fasten it to the supports. Assemble the frames from 10x5 cm boards. Use a tenon joint. The frames are directly cut into the table legs to a depth of 2.5 cm and bolted to them. Attach a sheet of plywood to the bottom frame. A sheet 1 cm thick will be enough.
Sixth step. Attach the sides and back to the table supporting walls. To make walls, use chipboards or plywood 1 cm thick. Build a convenient cabinet with a hinged door on the left of the table.
Seventh step. Connect the workbench top to the top frame using bolts. It is recommended to prepare the holes for the bolts in advance - this will make connections faster and easier. Tighten the bolts so that their heads are recessed into the wood.
Eighth step. Make a miter box. This device will help you in the future to cut workpieces at the required angles. The miter box is assembled from wooden strips 2 cm thick. Attach the finished miter box to the table using stoppers.
Ninth step. Process your homemade workbench drying oil and varnish. Give paint coating dry and you can start using the table. If necessary, install a vice or, for example, a circular saw on it. At this point, focus on your needs.
Video - DIY garage accessories
And any car enthusiast can make accessories for the garage with his own hands. Such homemade products allow you to use space wisely and choose the right tools for your comfortable spot, and don’t put them anywhere, and don’t waste money on buying expensive professional equipment.
Tool storage rack
If you have a lot of tools and other garage equipment in your garage, then ideal place There will be a rack to store them. If it is present in the garage, a lot of free space, and the motorist will not waste a lot of time trying to find the right tool.
You can easily make a rack yourself. It is usually made of metal or wood, but the first option is too difficult to use at home, although it is more reliable, so car enthusiasts often opt for the second option.
To extend the life of the rack, you need to choose strong wood species for its manufacture, such as oak or beech. A rack made of this material can withstand a load of up to 180 kg. In practice, this weight is often exceeded. However, it must be taken into account that a rack on which tools weighing more than 300 kg are stored poses a danger to the motorist.
It’s easy to make a garage rack with your own hands using the following algorithm:
- The supports for the rack are made first. To do this, a 9 cm wide board is cut into pieces of different sizes.
- To make shelves you need a thicker board. It is cut into equal parts of the required width.
- On the board, which will be the basis of the rack, mark the points where the spacers will be located. There should be 3 cm from them to the edge of the board.
- The top support is attached with superglue, then the shelf is nailed to it. The same must be done with the remaining supports and shelves.
- Then the base of the rack is attached to the spacers using screws.
At the end, the surface of the rack is sanded with sandpaper and oil varnish is applied to it in two layers. It is attached to the wall using anchor bolts located under the top and bottom shelves.
Shelves
If it is not possible to install a rack in the garage, it can be easily replaced with shelves. They can be hung at any height and save floor space.
First of all, you need to determine where the shelves will be located. The selected area is divided into squares of equal size. At their corners there will be dowels holding the shelves. For more reliable fixation of shelves, it is better to use dowels with hooks at the ends.
Then holes for fasteners are made in the wall using a hammer drill. Hangers with eyelets are attached to a thin board. The distance between them depends on the markings made earlier. Self-tapping screws are needed to secure metal hangers.
In order to make the bottoms of the shelves, several boards are cut into equal parts. The walls are made of thicker boards. They are attached to the bottom using nails or glue. Finished shelves can be painted or varnished.
Now all that remains is to place the shelves on the wall. When installing, you need to ensure that the shelves do not warp and move easily along the guides. For convenience, wooden handles can be attached to the front walls.
The material for the shelves can also be plastic canisters. To do this, you need to cut off the side wall of the canister.
To make the work look neater, you should always cut off either only the right or only the left. Then the edges are processed with a file.
After this, the shelves are placed on the wall or used as drawers in the rack.
Tire bracket
A set of tires is the most bulky part of a car, so it makes more sense to make a separate bracket for storing them rather than trying to find a place for them on a rack with other tools.
For a garage bracket, you need two triangular frames from a corner, which will be connected to each other by jumpers made of any rolled metal. The frames are attached to the wall. Tires are perpendicular load-bearing structure, slightly falling between the jumpers.
Universal drill machine
A car enthusiast needs a lot of different equipment, but it is very difficult to fit them into one garage. To save space, mechanisms are created that perform several functions.
From conventional drill you can make a homemade machine that works as a grinder, lathe, sharpener, or circular saw.
For the base of the machine, choose a board 2–2.5 cm thick. The drill is fixed on the part where the handle will be attached. The location for installing the drill is selected depending on the size circular disk, cutters, sharpening stone, grinding wheel.
To secure the drill, a rigidly fixed threaded rod and nut are used. Rigidity of fixation is achieved using epoxy glue and a two-millimeter pin. Next, a moving sole is created.
Next, a saw blade with a diameter of 15 cm, which should have a protective metal casing, is placed on the drill chuck. A gap is made in the frame. If you plan to use a flat cutter rather than a disk, it will require an enlargement of the saw hole or another rectangular slot.
For creating cutting machine a rotating bracket is placed on a securely fixed surface, carpenter's miter box, guides and mechanism that will fix the workpiece.
The cutting mechanism is combined with a circular saw on the base. Grinding and machine tools are made using the same method.
Inspection hole
Sooner or later, any car will need repairs. And so that its owner does not need to crawl under it, an inspection hole is dug in the floor of the garage.
The first thing you need to do is make chalk markings in the place where the car is parked. It should be taken into account that the length of the pit should be 1 meter greater than the length of the machine. The width should be sufficient for comfortable work, but less than the distance between the wheels. The depth of the hole depends on the height of the garage owner. You need to add 20 cm to it.
After calculating the size of the hole and marking, you can dig a hole. The thickness of its walls depends on the material with which its walls will be lined. When using brick, this figure should be 20 cm, when pouring cement - 12 cm, when installing building blocks - 22 cm.
The walls of the pit need hydrophobic impregnation, which will protect them from moisture. Impregnation is applied to inner side material with which the walls are lined.
In the front of the pit, steps are made of cement. To make steps of the same size, you need to calculate the height of the rise and calculate their number.
When creating, almost any owner strives to do something with his own hands, be it shelves for parts, a workbench, gates, ventilation or heating. We’ll talk about this in this article, namely how to create all these garage homemade products.
Lift gates made with my own hands, much better and more efficient than conventional gates with wings.
After all, everyone knows how much trouble these doors cause in winter period when ice accumulates on them, and there is a lot of snow on the area behind the gates. All this causes a lot of difficulties when moving the car out of the garage.
Therefore, such homemade products in the garage as overhead gates on one leaf, will be very comfortable. The gates are equipped with a special device, thanks to which they rise. There is no need to put in much effort when lifting, because total weight The gate is compensated by 2 cylindrical springs.
The work is carried out thanks to a system of levers with springs and rollers that open along guides. It is thanks to this system that the sash rises. In this case, the compensating springs face outward, and the upper one goes inward (rolling along the guides).
Construction details: gate frame, opening mechanism, lifting leaf. The assembly mechanism is lightweight and convenient.
The gate frame is assembled quite simply with the help of 2 vertical bars and 1 horizontal one. Vertical bars have a length of 2300 mm and a cross-section of 120x80 mm. The horizontal beams have a length of 2750 mm and exactly the same cross-section. They are connected to each other thanks to angles and metal plates. The box is secured in the opening using metal pins with a diameter of 10x200 mm. IN concrete base the lower ends of the box posts are deepened by 20 mm.
The sash is made of a board panel (which is sheathed on the outside with sheet steel), a corner and a frame with ribs. The shield is attached to the frame using furniture bolts with metal strips. The frame is made of rolled steel and has dimensions of 2500×2100 mm.
Gate mechanism
When lifted, the upper part of the gate moves under the ceiling along guide rails. The rails consist of steel angles, 2100 mm long and 40 x 40 x 4 mm in size.
The fully manufactured rail is attached at one end to a steel plate for further attachment to the vertically located frame posts. At a distance of 120-150 mm, a section of channel is attached to the other end of the guides. The guides must be positioned strictly horizontally. This is achieved by placing a washer between the beam and the channel.
The gate lift is adjusted using a screw and spring tension. It is important to ensure that the sash is always in a stationary position. The gates are closed with special locks, which are located in the corners of the gate leaves. At the bottom and in the middle there is a handle with a height of approximately 20 mm.
Besides garage doors, homemade products for the garage also include all kinds of shelves for storing tools. They can be either large, mounted in the far wall of the garage, or small, located on the sides of the room.
DIY garage shelves
The simplest and most basic shelves can be made using cables, which are sold in all kinds of hardware stores. They have high strength for hundreds and thousands of kilograms. Sold in a variety of sizes and diameters. Each shelf is supported by 4 such cables.
The next part that is needed when making shelves is a piece of metal or plastic tube. It is necessary to determine the distance between the shelves of the rack. They are fastened using special bushings with a locking bolt. The bolt is screwed into a threaded hole. As a result, the shelf rests on all 4 bushings (on each side).
Such shelves are very mobile and light, both in terms of weight and in terms of changing width. You can change the width to the required one at any time. However, it is worth remembering that they require good and durable ceilings.
For those shelves that will be attached to the walls, you can use wire about 4-6 mm thick, which is sold in any stores that sell metal in coils or cut pieces. A kind of “herringbone” is made along the width of the inter-ceiling space. Accordingly, to attach the shelves you need two identical “herringbones”. For one and the other side.
It is best to make these “Christmas trees” at the same time (for greater symmetry). You can use the shelf itself as a template. If you create these Christmas tree pendants with some reserve, then in the future it is possible to remove or insert additional shelves. Installation to the wall is carried out using self-tapping screws, staples or wood grouse.
Perhaps at first glance this design may seem fragile, but this is not entirely true. In fact, they are very strong and stable. Not a single element of such a triangle can be changed. The angles and lengths of the sides are quite strong and, moreover, elastic.
Making a workbench
In the garage, besides various works related to cars, many also produce metalwork, carpentry and other renovation work. This is exactly what a workbench with a vice is for. Of course, it is much easier to use an industrial workbench, but a layout board is also used.
The sizes of workbenches and layout boards can be completely different. The height should be appropriate and convenient for the work being done. Best height It is considered when the worker does it at the level of the center of the palms of the lowered hand.
Making a workbench with your own hands is quite simple. Smooth boards with a thickness of 4-5 centimeters are used. The boards are connected to each other along the width. Main components A workbench is usually considered to have a recess with a wedge, a stop, and holes with pegs.
The emphasis is needed to hold materials during work (planing). It is secured with screws or nails at some distance from the edge on the left side of the table. It looks like a wooden plank about 10-12 centimeters wide, about 20 centimeters long and about 2 centimeters thick. The boards rest against their ends during planing.
The notch is necessary to clamp materials in a vertical position. In this case, all materials are secured using a wedge.
Holes with pegs serve for the necessary support when planing boards with a planer, cross-cutting material and some other processes. At a certain distance from the rear edge, holes are drilled along the entire length of the workbench. The pegs inserted into them are stops, so it is important that they are of small height. Ideally, for products of different heights you need to have different sizes pegs.
The workbench table itself is mounted on 4 legs, which are connected to each other by bars. Afterwards it is covered with drying oil to prevent drying out.
Room heater
DIY homemade products for the garage are not only all kinds of devices for equipment and repairs. These can also be devices for heating and ventilation. Let's consider an example of equipping a garage with a special stove, which is extremely necessary in winter time of the year.
It is known how often in winter it is necessary to warm up the transmission, and sometimes antifreeze (with severe frosts). The situation is greatly simplified when a special heating stove is used, which does not consume so much fuel and at the same time maintains the engine temperature at the desired level.
The operating principle of such a stove is based on the flow chemical processes. Heat is released not due to the combustion of fuel, but due to the fact that on the surface heating element fuel vapors are oxidized by atmospheric oxygen.
Stove diagram
The stove consists of a burner, a fuel tank, and a fabric or asbestos wick. A heating element in the form of two is placed in the burner metal mesh and frames that are impregnated with a catalyst. The wick supplies fuel from the tank to the burner itself. The upper part of this wick opens evenly under the mesh, and Bottom part must be on the bottom of the tank.
When pouring fuel into the tank, you must ensure that it does not spill out into the outer part. Fuel should only be kept inside for safety reasons. After filling the fuel, the tank must be thoroughly wiped with a dry cloth.
The heater is started at a distance of 25 meters from the car. It is ignited according to the following principle. First, 50-100 ml of fuel is poured onto the grid of the heating element. Next it is ignited with a match. After the flame goes out, fuel vapors are sucked from the tank to the heated surface. In the presence of a catalyst under the influence of oxygen, they begin to oxidize. The temperature gradually rises and flameless combustion begins.
Often hot spots spread gradually, with a corresponding increase in temperature. Flameless combustion does not immediately cover the entire working area of the burner. If you do not stop this process, it will continue until all the fuel runs out.
To make the heating element, long-fiber asbestos is used. For one hour, it is impregnated with a catalyst from a solution of platinum chloride or a cobalt-chromium solution. For 100 g of asbestos you need 1000 cubic centimeters of solution. The resulting mass is dried, tugged and calcined. The result is a dark and loose asbestos mixture. It is evenly scattered through wire mesh. And for a burner with an approximate surface area of 10 dm², the catalyst consumption is about 300 g.
Rules for operating the heater
Avoid contact with oil, dirt and water on the work surface. Compliance with simple technology in the production of the heating element and competent operation will ensure the operation of the device for many years.
