Do-it-yourself home craftsman homemade machines. Homemade machines and devices for the home workshop - a detailed review

A new selection of excellent homemade machines and new tools.

1. Stilts are very necessary and useful things for finishers and electricians. If you don’t want to shell out 15,000-20,000 for them, you can do almost free version. You just have to look around and you will definitely find suitable trash that you haven’t had time to throw away yet. You probably shouldn’t throw them away, but this tool is just the thing for the job!

Sprayer on battery

2. Anyone who has used a hand sprayer knows that this is an excellent crossfit exercise when you pump up air. You will also need a 12 volt lead acid battery; all that remains is to install the car nipple. Alternatively, all this equipment can be located in a backpack.

3. Be sure to upgrade your sprayer this season.

Workshop trolley

4. A strange trolley at first glance. For transportation sheet material- This is a small-sized simple thing. Unlike a device for carrying drywall and other sheet materials, it does not require much physical effort to hold objects suspended. It is much more pleasant to roll on a cart.

Gripper for plywood sheets

5. If you make a similar version of the holder for sheets, it will be convenient to carry them. There is no need to twist your arms to comfortably grasp a sheet of drywall or plywood.

6. An interesting device for sharpening knives of planes, chisels and other cutting tool. The design is simple. Anyone can do it if they want.

Notcher

7. A cool version of a trimmer or, as it is called, a notcher. Allows you to simply make a cut into a pipe or quickly trim the end of a pipe. The clamping force is adjusted using a bolt. We insert the shank into a drill or screwdriver and get a smooth hole.

Homemade tool - hacksaw

The author of the channel “A-QX: Club” showed how to make a hacksaw from waste. This old sample, remade in a new way. This homemade product uses small boards and pins. There were small pieces, I drilled holes with a diameter of 5 millimeters, twisted a pin with a diameter of 6. Clamped it with a nut. Also on the other side. The length of the bar is 23.3 centimeters. The size of the other bar is 27.5. Third – 18.5.

I made a hole 3 centimeters deep in the blanks. There is a cutout in the middle. Oval hole for a pin. On the other side there is a cutout, a recess, a hole.

Let's start assembling the hacksaw. The plank is assembled in the middle. Insert the hacksaw blade. We take rivets to hold the canvas. Details from threaded rods install on top.

“You can never have too many tools” - everyone who has been involved in construction or making something has heard this phrase. The right tool is invaluable when you need to saw something off, weld it, or connect parts. The section on FORUMHOUSE about homemade machines and devices, which is called that, is constantly updated with new products that simplify and optimize the work of a builder or a “jack of all trades.”

We have already told you, and... Let's continue the topic we started. Today we will talk about homemade turning, plumbing and even gardening tools and devices for construction.

Grinder cutting machine

Machines for the workshop are always in demand, but an angle grinder (angle grinder), popularly known as a “grinder,” is one of the favorites in the arsenal of any home craftsman. But the instrument requires a very careful attitude, because any neglect may result in serious injury. Therefore, when cutting large volumes of metal (when making a fence or cutting reinforcement), many people prefer to work with a metal cutting machine.

You can buy a frame for an angle grinder on the Internet, but to save money, you can make a cutting machine yourself, from an “unnecessary” or “superfluous” grinder on the farm, which almost every owner has country house. As we'll see, it's good for more than just sharpening garden equipment!

Ivici FORUMHOUSE user,
Moscow.

I have an angle grinder weighing 5.5 kg. One day I thought about how to make it easier to use. After all, working with it, moving all the time, is inconvenient - your hands get tired quickly. I decided to make a convenient cutting machine from what I had.

Looking ahead, let's say that the machine (more precisely, its second modification) was a success: it cuts smoothly and without distortions.

Ivici I made it like this - I took a piece of channel No. 6.5 (65 mm wide and 36 mm high). This is the basis of the machine.

A steel strip of 50x5 mm was also required. With its help the angle grinder is secured. A 4x2 cm profile and a three-millimeter piece of steel were also required. A figure eight bolt serves as a turning axis.

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

According to the user, the most difficult thing was to accurately mark and drill three holes with a diameter of 14 mm for attaching angle grinders with bolts to the threaded holes intended for installing the side handle.

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

I also had to work with a round file. A small bore of the holes, due to the backlash, allows you to move the angle grinder a little during the assembly process and accurately install it. After all the parts are ready, the user welded the piece of hardware holding the angle grinder together, assembled the entire structure in rough form, checked all the corners and, making sure that everything was mounted as it should, finally welded the entire structure.

Ivici

The machine is attached to the support table (a piece of slate 1 cm thick) with six self-tapping screws. You can dispense with the return spring, just tighten the axle bolt more tightly. There are no backlashes or distortions when cutting the workpiece. You can also cut at an angle of 45 degrees.

Another homemade machine from an angle grinder was suggested by a portal user with the nickname Bistok.

As usual, first we start a small construction project or remodel, then we realize that we need new construction tools and equipment, and then the search begins for the most optimal solution. Well, don't buy it!

Bistok User FORUMHOUSE

I decided to make the stairs out of metal. To avoid defects, backlashes, discrepancies when cutting metal parts Maximum precision is required. Therefore, I decided, using an angle grinder as a basis, to make a sawing machine.

Everything that is usually lying around in the home workshop (and it would be a pity to throw it away) of a zealous owner went into action, waiting for its finest hour. As a stand for a cutting machine Bistok I used an overlock table.

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

As in the option described above, the most difficult thing was to “catch” the right angle between the cutting disc and the stop angle. After all, the accuracy of sawing metal depends on this unit.

The end result is clearly demonstrated by the photo below.

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

Bistok

I got a portable machine. I welded a corner to the handle to get 3 support points for the angle grinder. The fastening with two bolts was adjusted to the location. I work only in safety glasses. I am very pleased with the result of the work done. I didn’t buy anything extra to make the machine. The cut is exactly 90°.

Budget drilling machines

In addition to cutting machines, popular various devices for drilling holes in metal. Starting from stationary drilling machines and ending with devices in which a conventional drill is fixed, like a “driller” user FORUMHOUSE with nickname g8o8r8.

g8o8r8 FORUMHOUSE Member

While drilling many similar holes in thick metal, in order to relieve my hands, I made a simple device based on a clamp welded to a metal support and a pair of clamps to firmly fix the drill. Now drilling a corner or channel has become much easier.

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

Also, the user, based on an electric motor, made a small “vertical” machine for drilling holes with a diameter of up to 4 mm in printed circuit boards.

g8o8r8

The long spindle compensates for the inaccuracy of the bearing race groove. For amateur use, this machine is quite suitable. Drilling accuracy remains at an acceptable level.

If you do not have a welding machine, you can assemble the device you need on the farm using bolted connections.

Hand trowel for concrete

No less important than homemade machines for the home workshop are devices for construction and repair. And we can easily make many construction devices with our own hands.

Anyone who has ever encountered concrete works, knows how difficult it is to smooth freshly laid mixture to perfection. If in small areas you can get by with the rule, then when pouring the area in front of the house or parking lot, you cannot do it with an ordinary tool. A concrete trowel comes to the rescue, which, due to its long handle (from 3 to 12 m), allows you to smooth concrete onto larger area without stepping on the surface being leveled.

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

ronik55 FORUMHOUSE Member

I know from personal experience how difficult it is to smooth concrete perfectly. I didn’t want to go and buy it for 10 thousand rubles. As a result, my father made a cheap device for smoothing concrete, practically from garbage - all sorts of unnecessary things.

The following photos clearly demonstrate how this ironer works. We take a metal profile (the dimensions depend on the area being smoothed), weld transverse stiffeners to it, on which, in turn, hinge joints made of pipes are fixed.

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

When the handle was rotated, the chain was wound around the pipe, and one edge of the smoother was raised.

Having carried the stroker to the end point, we rotate the handle in reverse side. The chain is wound again, and the edge of the smoother is raised, facing the user.

We pull the ironing iron towards ourselves and repeat all the steps until we finish the job.

ronik55

Due to the “pipe-in-pipe” connection and fixation with a cotter pin, you can increase the length of the handle at your discretion. This design is easy to assemble yourself.

See how to make it yourself (follow the link and you will find a drawing).

Garden sprayer and clamp

It all started with Metamorph it was necessary to treat the area against ticks, and the old manual sprayer had given up its life. Needed to buy urgently new device or find a replacement for him. While preparing for processing and thinking about what could be done, a user of our portal came across an unnecessary fire extinguisher lying around the household.

Next, we proceed as follows - carefully unscrew the fire extinguisher, pour out the remaining powder and rinse the cylinder with water. Instead of a bell, we screw in an adapter into which, depending on the need, you can screw in a nipple (for pumping air) or a nozzle (for spraying the mixture).

Metamorf FORUMHOUSE Member

Using a homemade sprayer is very simple: fill the fire extinguisher halfway with a special spray liquid, then pump it with air, screw on the sprayer and go poison the ticks.

DIY carpentry tools

QWEsad FORUMHOUSE Member

One day I needed to glue together a lot of wooden panels. I didn't have any clamps. So I decided to a quick fix assemble a framework from wooden blocks with a cross-section of 5x5 cm and metal plates with welded nuts in “tens”.

In total, the user made 3 of these wedges; this was enough to glue a wooden board measuring 1.5x1.7 m and 18 mm thick. To prevent the bars from sticking to the workpiece, under those places where there is a seam and glue may protrude, you can put a newspaper or shoot polyethylene with a stapler.

In order not to spoil the workpiece, you need to place a gasket under the plate into which the screw rests. The gluing width is adjusted by moving the stop bar.

For work around the house or in the garage you need professional tools. But in some cases it is more expedient to make the equipment yourself. As a basis, you can take factory models adapted to perform specific type work in the workshop.

Metal processing machines

The most popular are machines and equipment for processing metal products. They are used not only for manufacturing and repair, but also during the maintenance of other tools.

In addition to manual tools, mini-machines will be needed to complete the repair base of a private garage or workshop various types made with your own hands. We are not talking about professional factory equipment, but about its analogue of lower productivity. However, despite this, it must have an optimal set of functions to carry out all types of work.

Grinding equipment

Grinding equipment is considered an essential machine tool. It is intended for processing metal surfaces- sharpening, grinding, polishing.

To make it yourself you will need a minimum of tools and components. The design consists of a power unit (electric motor) and grinding stones. The best option The machine is equipped with a double-sided shaft. This will allow you to install two grinding wheels for different types of processing.

Components for the manufacture of mini-equipment for the garage:

electric motor with power from 0.8 to 1.5 kW. The optimal speed is 800 rpm;
base. This can be a factory-made frame or one made independently. It is important that it ensures the stability of the structure;
emery fastening block. Grinding wheels can be mounted on the motor shaft or in a separate unit.

It is important to choose the right types of emery and other equipment. For sharpening tools made from special grades of steel, corundum or diamond wheels are most often used.

For stability, the homemade structure must have mounting elements with which the sharpening machine will be mounted on the work table.

Milling (drilling) machine for metal

Another type of work is drilling holes on the surface of metal products. To perform this you will need a milling machine. As a basis, you can take a drawing of a factory model, which is later adapted for manufacturing with your own hands in the workshop.

Since the device will perform a number of specific functions, it is recommended to think about the layout of the tool. Most often, an electric drill is chosen as the power unit. It is installed on a removable mounting element and, if necessary, can be quickly dismantled to perform other work.

can be used as a lifting mechanism steering rack. According to its dimensions, the remaining components of the equipment are calculated;
do to increase functionality. After securing the part to it, it will be able to move relative to the cutting part;
Additionally, you can install a corner milling drilling mechanism.

If you need to drill thick workpieces using the machine described above, it is best to use a powerful electric motor instead of a drill. Then a torque transmission unit must be installed.

Some manufacturers offer milling table with a support stand, specially designed for mounting a drill.

Homemade woodworking machines

Three types of machines are needed for woodworking: cutting, grinding and turning. If they are available, you can carry out all types of work at home. However, it should be taken into account design differences, characteristic for each type of equipment.

Before choosing optimal model you should decide on the type of work to be performed. The parameters of the future design are influenced by the size of the workpiece, the required degree of processing, and the type of wood. The best option for a tool would be to make a universal tool with your own hands, based on the analysis performed and the dimensions of the space in the workshop.

Wood cutting machines

The most simple model mini-cutting equipment for wood processing - electric or chainsaw. With its help you can make cuts of varying precision and configuration. However, due to the relatively large physical activity operating hours will be limited. Therefore, for processing large volumes of wood, it is recommended to make sawmills with your own hands.

Such machines can be of several types:

disk The simplest version of the device, consisting of a support table, a cutting disk and a power unit. Can be used for cutting sheet materials, bars and boards;
. Designed for processing trunks. Used for forming boards and beams. They are distinguished by relatively low manufacturing complexity;
band sawmill. Has the same functions as chainsaw designs. The difference lies in the speed of processing the log.

For curved cutting, you can use jigsaws. However, making this tool with your own hands will be problematic.

During production homemade sawmill should be considered maximum size logs - trunk diameter and length. Based on this, the optimal size and characteristics of the device are calculated.

Currently available for purchase finished machines, to equip your own workshop, but all this will be quite expensive. Homemade machines will help the master in his practical work, and will not burden his budget. Why buy something that you can do yourself, and even in relation to specific conditions.

Each owner chooses the equipment of his own workshop himself. It depends on the hobby, i.e. type of work and area of the premises. 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 site or in a garage. Perfect option- This is a secluded room in which you can make noise without disturbing other people.

According to its purpose, a home workshop can be universal, i.e. to carry out any work that unexpectedly arises in everyday life, or have a specific direction, associated with the master’s hobby. Most often, workshops are equipped for working with wood, i.e. For carpentry work. Quite often there is a need for metal processing ( locksmith work) And car repair.

In general, setting up a home workshop includes the following elements:

structures for storing tools and materials (racks, shelves, cabinets);
equipment for work (workbenches, work tables);
machines for processing materials;
devices for mechanizing work, facilitating labor, preparing tools, etc.

The equipment must be placed so that there is access to it free approach, was observed safety precautions and fire safety standards , provided minimal comfort.

Shelves for tools and materials

Setting up your home workshop begins from installing practical shelves for a DIY tool. They can be made of metal or wood, or have a combined design - a metal frame with shelves made of wood, plywood, chipboard, plastic, etc.

The following stand out basic structures:

Racks in the form of a frame and shelves located at different heights.
Shelves mounted on the wall. They can be installed on brackets or attached with dowels directly to the wall surface.
Hanging shelves with ceiling mounting.

Practical shelf-boards have this design. The basis is a shield cut from plywood 8-12 mm thick.

There are 3 types of fasteners mounted on it:

a rail with slots for placing tools with a handle in a vertical position (hammer, screwdrivers, chisels, etc.);
shelves with a side for placing boxes with small tools (drills, taps, dies, etc.);
hanging hooks small tool(knife, scissors, measuring tool, etc.).

This shelf-shield is fixed to the wall using dowels.

Carpentry workbench

A carpenter's workbench is a durable table with a working surface on which to fix holdfast(2 pieces), clamps to secure the workpiece when planing with a planer, places for installation are provided milling cutter and other manual machines.

Important. The dimensions of the workbench are selected based on practical considerations.

The height should ensure ease of work, taking into account the actual height of the master. The length should be at least 1 m (usually 1.7-2 m), and width - 70-80 cm.

Instructions for making a carpentry workbench:

The working surface is made in the form of a shield with tightly fitted boards with a thickness of at least 55 mm. Beech, oak, and hornbeam are best suited. They should first be soaked in drying oil. Strengthening is achieved with a beam measuring 4-5 cm, which is attached along the entire perimeter of the shield.
Vertical table supports can be made of pine or linden. Typically, a beam measuring 12x12 or 15x15 cm with a length of about 120-135 cm is used. The supporting elements are connected by horizontal jumpers made of a wide board, fixed at a height of 20-30 cm from the floor.
Tools and accessories are stored on shelves that are located under the lid. It is better to make them in the form of a cabinet with a door. Shelf panels can be placed on the wall above the workbench.
A pair of homemade or factory-made carpentry vices is attached to the working surface.

Reference. The workbench can be mobile (movable), folding (collapsible) or stationary. In the latter case, it is recommended to bury the supports into the ground by 15-20 cm.

Vise

For a homemade vice you will need a long screw rod with a diameter of at least 20 mm with a threaded part length of at least 14-16 cm, metal studs and wooden blocks.

Manufacturing is carried out in the following order:

Cut out wooden block(can be made of pine) about 20x30 cm in size and at least 5 cm thick, in which a hole for a screw is drilled in the center, and at the bottom there are 2 holes for guide pins. This first vise jaw is permanently fixed to the work surface.
The second sponge is cut from a similar board and has dimensions of 20x18 cm. This will be a movable element.
A screw pin is passed through the jaws. To prevent displacement of elements, studs with a diameter of about 8-10 mm are fixed. A handle is installed on the screw rod.

How to make a metal workbench with your own hands?

To carry out plumbing work you will need metal workbench. Its standard size: length 1.8-2.1 m, width – 0.7-0.8 m, height – 0.9-1.2 m. Manufacturing includes the following steps:

Assembling the workbench frame with imparting longitudinal rigidity.
Assembling and securing 2 cabinets in the form of a frame covered with a metal sheet.
Installation of the working surface - a wooden board covered with a metal sheet on top.
Installation of a tool rack, which is attached to the back of the workbench and further strengthens it.

rack beams - profile pipe with a wall of at least 2 mm, size 4x6 cm. Needed - 4 pcs.;
beams measuring 5x4 cm for horizontal linking of posts, providing longitudinal rigidity. Quantity – 3 pcs.;
profiled pipe (9 pcs) for making a frame for cabinets measuring about 4x3 cm with a wall thickness of at least 1 mm;
a 5x5 cm corner for vertical rack posts with a height of 1.5-2 m. For horizontal linking, you can use a 4x4 cm corner;
board for the tabletop with a thickness of at least 5 cm;
metal sheet for the working surface with a thickness of at least 6-8 mm.

Features of creating a wood lathe

A homemade lathe for working with wooden blanks includes the following elements:

bed. It must have sufficient strength. It is better to make it from metal profile(pipe, corner), but it can also be made from wooden beams. It is important to securely fasten the frame to the workshop floor and weight the structure at the bottom.
Headstock or clamping spindle. As this element of the machine, you can use a head from a high-power drill.
Tailstock. In order to ensure longitudinal feed of the workpiece, it is better to use a standard factory spindle with 3-4 cams.
Support or stop for cutters. It must provide reliable fastening and the ability to move towards the workpiece, which is ensured by a screw rod.
Tool table. A working surface should be formed on the bed on which cutters and other tools can be laid out.
Drive unit. To create torque, an electric motor with a rotation speed of 1500 rpm and a power of 250-400 W is used. You can use the engine from washing machine. A belt drive is used as a transmission, for which pulleys of the required size are installed on the shafts.

Incisors

Even in a homemade lathe it is better to use factory cutters, which will provide increased quality. However, if you wish, you can do this on your own. Homemade cutters wood can be made from the following materials:

Steel reinforcement. The best option is a square section with a size close to the size of the factory tool.
Files. A worn tool is selected, but without significant defects.
car spring rectangular (square) section.

Prepared cutter blanks are sharpened. For roughing work, a semicircular cutting edge is used, and for finishing work, a cutter with a straight blade is needed. In addition, shaped and through cutters with specific sharpening may be required. Next, the cutting part requires hardening. To do this, it is heated and then lowered into engine oil.

Instructions for creating a stationary circular saw

The most important element of stationary circular saw – reliable table with work surface. The most suitable for it is a metal sheet reinforced with stiffening ribs from a steel angle. The following parts are located on the worktop: cutting disc, guides, thrust and control elements.

Drive is provided electric motor power of about 0.8 kW with a minimum speed of 1700 rpm. Transmission – belt drive.

You can make a circular saw from the grinder in the following order:

Installation of the frame and production of the working surface. Cutting a space to install the disk.
Fastening parallel stops from wooden beams.
Installing a scale to adjust the cutting process.
Installation of clamps for fixing guides and workpieces.
Fastening the grinder from the bottom of the tabletop with the disk directed into the slot.

Assembling a homemade drilling machine

The procedure for assembling a homemade one drilling machine shown in the video below. It is based on an electric drill, which is mounted on a frame with the possibility of vertical movement.

Main elements of the machine:

Electric drill.
Metal base with clamps for workpieces (clamps).
Stand for attaching a drill. It can be made from chipboard 2-2.5 cm thick. A good option- base from an old photographic enlarger.
Feeding mechanism for cutting tools. Guide rails are installed on the stand to ensure strictly vertical movement of the drill. The easiest way to feed a tool is manual lever and springs. Adjustable stops are installed to control the depth.

CNC milling machines for wood and metal

When milling wooden parts software allows you to significantly expand the capabilities of the machine and the quality of processing. To form it, elements such as LPT port and CNC unit. To make a copy unit, you can use the carriages of an old dot matrix printer.

Assembling the wood router is carried out in the following order:

The tabletop is made of chipboard or plywood with a thickness of at least 15 mm.
A cutout is made for the cutter and its installation.
The drive, transmission and spindle of the machine are secured.
Stops and limiters are installed.

Assembling a metal router requires more solid foundation for the machine:

Installation of a column and frame in the shape of the letter “P”. The elements are made from steel channel. In a U-shaped design, the bridge is formed by the base of the instrument itself.
The guide elements are made from angle steel and are bolted to the column.
The guide consoles are made from rectangular pipe. A screw pin is inserted into them. The movement of the console is ensured using a car jack to a height of 12-15 cm.
The worktop is made of chipboard or plywood.
A vice with guides from metal corner, pin clamps.
The rotating part is installed so that the shaft is vertical.

Thicknesser

A homemade thicknessing machine for wood includes the following elements:

bed. It is made of 2 frames welded from a corner 40x40 or 50x50 mm. The frames are connected with studs.
Broach. Rubber squeezing rollers from a washing machine work well. They are mounted on bearings and rotated manually using a handle.
Working surface, table top. A wide board impregnated with drying oil is used, which is secured to the frame with bolts.
Drive unit. You need a three-phase electric motor with a power of 5-6 kW with a rotation speed of at least 3000 rpm.
casing. To protect the rotating parts, a casing of 4-5 mm thick steel sheet is installed, mounted on a frame made of steel angle 20x20 mm.

note

Can be used as a working body electric planer.

It is fixed with clamps on the working surface to form the required gap. This gap must be adjusted using shims and set taking into account the thickness of the workpiece.

Creating a wood sanding machine

A homemade grinding machine has drum design, i.e. a rotating cylinder with a emery cloth. It can be produced in the following varieties:

surface grinding type that provides grinding in only one plane;
planetary a type capable of processing a part in different directions, creating an even plane on it;
cylindrical grinding type for processing cylindrical workpieces.

When securing the abrasive cloth, the following recommendations should be taken into account:

The width of the tape is selected about 20-25 cm.
The strips are connected end-to-end, without a gap.
To strengthen the joint seam, a thick tape is placed under it.
Only high quality glue should be used.
The shaft for the sanding strip has a side at the edges that protrudes by 2.5-4 mm.
It is recommended to use thin rubber (for example, a bicycle inner tube) as a backing for the abrasive element.

Rules for operating a wood jointer

A homemade jointing machine will help when repairing furniture and apartments. When using it, the following rules should be observed:

The jointer is adjusted in such a way that the maximum errors are ensured - vertically (perpendicular) - no more than 0.11 mm for every 1 cm; in plane - no more than 0.16 mm for every 1 m.
When processing workpieces smaller than 3.5x35 cm, pushers should be used to hold them.
Wear of the cutting element is indicated by scorching and moss on the surface of the part.
An uneven surface after machining indicates an inaccurate positioning of the cutting edges.

Homemade garage gadgets

In a home workshop equipped in a garage, you can repair your car yourself. In particular, the following are of interest homemade devices and machines.

Hydraulic jack press

He will help when removing and crimping silent blocks car. With its help, a load of several hundred kg is provided.

The structure consists of a frame and hydraulic jack. The frame is welded from a high-strength rectangular pipe.

After the machine is lifted, it is the machine that becomes stationary, reliable support for auto.

This allows you to safely press out the jammed part using internal clips from the bearing.

Ball joint remover

It can be made in different ways:

Lever type. These are 2 levers connected in the center. On one side, a coupling bolt is installed on them. When acting on the support, it unscrews, bringing the ends of the levers closer together. In this case, one end is inserted between the support and the eye, the second - under the finger.
Option "wedge". A wedge-shaped workpiece is cut from a metal plate. From the outside top corner a strictly vertical cut is made at 70% of the height. This wedge is installed between the ball joint and the eye. Then it is hammered in until the finger comes out of the socket.

This article discusses homemade machines and devices for the home workshop. Here we describe in detail the features of the most popular and necessary do-it-yourself tools, as well as tools for a workshop or garage, step-by-step technologies for their manufacture, and others. useful recommendations on this topic.

Many home workshop owners 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 to make homemade machines and devices for garages, so they get by on our own when arranging the premises, customizing the technical features of the structures to suit you.

So, when creating a metal workbench with your own hands, the drawings and dimensions of the product on them can be adjusted to the parameters of the room and other conditions. Even for a small home workshop, you will need to allocate enough space to accommodate at least the design of a universal folding workbench and a minimum set of tools. The required area for this is at least 3-5 m².

Helpful advice! It is better to equip the workshop in separate room to noise from homemade work grinding machine woodworking and other tools did not interfere with the residents. A garage can be allocated for the placement of machines, the area of which is sufficient for comfortable work and installation of equipment.

Manufacturing of tools storage devices: shelves, racks

In fact, it is very difficult to achieve optimal operating conditions. It is desirable that the size of the room be at least 6.5 m. To equip a workshop, you can make an extension to the house or garage. This solution will be the most profitable in any case.

Before designing a drawing of a folding workbench with your own hands, which has the largest design (therefore its dimensions are taken into account first), it is worth deciding on some points:

indicate what types of work will be performed in the workshop;
determine a list of necessary tools and equipment.

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 area.

To save space, you can get special device for a circular saw with your own hands, made on the basis conventional drill. Such a universal machine can perform several functions at once, combining the following capabilities:

circular saw;
grinding machine;
sharpened;
cutting machine.

The work table can be combined with a vice for a carpentry workbench and equipped with drawers to store small tools.

DIY tool shelves: popular designs

Metal structures are more durable and reliable, while wooden ones are affordable.
There are several options for rational storage of tools:

wall shelves;
DIY tool racks;
suspended ceiling shelves;
Shelves-boards for hanging small tools.

Helpful advice! The shield shelf is very convenient for metalworking and carpentry work. You can install holders or hooks for tools, small shelves or containers for fasteners on it. It is most advisable to hang such a structure over a folding carpentry workbench. You can even provide additional lighting. It is better to use a small lamp for this.

Technology for making a shelf for tools with your own hands (shield):

A shield is cut out of a plywood sheet, and the places where the shelves will be installed are marked on it.
Using a jigsaw, shelves with side walls are cut out. The length of these sides must match the length of the shield.
Shelves for tools are assembled and fixed to the surface of the shield using long self-tapping screws.
Hooks are being installed. Holes are made in the shield where dowels are installed. You need to screw special hooks equipped with threads into them. First, you should distribute the entire tool and mark the points where it will hang.
Brackets or lugs are installed on the rear wall of the structure.

All that remains is to fix the shield shelf on the wall. To prevent the lugs from sliding off the anchors, it is recommended to fix them with special washers.

Making a carpentry workbench with your own hands: drawings, videos, technology

The drawing of a carpentry workbench should include the following details:

Working surface - for its manufacture it is recommended to take a board 6 cm thick or more. Suitable wood species such as oak, hornbeam or beech. It is allowed to use several narrow boards pre-treated with drying oil.
A do-it-yourself homemade vice design is attached to the top cover, which should also be included in the drawing. If you intend to install a large-sized product, it is better to use wood for its manufacture. It is allowed to manufacture and subsequently install small metalworking vices made of steel yourself.
Workbench supports can be made from linden or pine. A longitudinal connection in the form of strips must be installed between them. This will increase the stability of the table.
Shelves for storing tools - mounted under the workbench. Designs can be fixed or retractable.

Helpful advice! The linear parameter of the workbench can exceed 1 m. The increased size of the structure can be used to install two carpenter's vices with your own hands.

There are several modifications of workbenches:

mobile;
stationary;
folding (universal).

Having familiarized yourself with the structure of a carpentry workbench, you can begin to manufacture it.

Technology and drawings of a do-it-yourself carpentry workbench: how to make a simple design

Step-by-step technology for manufacturing the structure:

To make a lid for a wooden carpentry workbench, you will need to take thick boards. The size must be selected so that, as a result of their connection, a shield with parameters of 0.7x2 m is obtained (the length can be less than 2 m). Long nails should be used as fasteners, which must be driven in from the front side and bent from the back.
You can finish the lid by securing a beam with a section of 50x50 mm along its lower perimeter.
Depending on the size of the carpentry workbench (its cover), vertical supports are located. To make them, a timber (12x12x130 cm) is taken. At this stage, it is necessary to take into account the height of the working surface, because it should be comfortable. The upper limit of the support should be at the level of your lowered arms. Subsequently, due to the installation of the cover, about 8-10 cm will be added to this indicator. Markings for installing the beams should be applied to the ground and these elements should be dug to a depth of 0.2-0.35 m.
Next, we install the frame part and the cover of the wooden workbench with our own hands. The installed support bars must be connected in pairs. For this, wide boards are used, fixed at a height of 0.2-0.4 m with long screws. The cover is secured to the ends of the supports using the same fasteners.

Note! Do not use nails to install the cover. During the process of driving them in, the frame part of the product may move.

Technology for making a universal wooden workbench with your own hands

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. But in this case, bolts are used instead of screws.

In addition, you can install drawers for storing tools in a folding universal workbench with your own hands.

Technology for making a folding workbench with your own hands:

Vertical supports are installed in a similar way and are connected to each other using horizontally located jumpers. Before installing the jumpers, grooves should be made on them for nuts and washers. To do this, it is better to use a hammer and chisel.
When the jumpers are set at the required level, the through holes in a horizontal bar and a vertically mounted support. The long bolt will be inserted here. On the side where there is a groove for fastening, put on a nut and washer, after which the element is tightened well.
You will need 2 horizontal jumpers for the frame part of a homemade carpentry workbench. on each of 4 sides. You will also need a couple of jumpers for installation under the work surface (in the center). The elements under the table top are designed for drawers. The distance between these jumpers must correspond to the size of the boxes.
Bolts are also used to fix the working surface. Mounting recesses are prepared at the ends of the supports, and holes for fastening are prepared on the tabletop. The bolts are installed so that their heads are recessed (1-2 mm).

Note! Drawings for a folding workbench 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.

DIY carpenter's vice design for a workbench

Usually workbenches are equipped with a vice. Many garage workshop owners know how to make such a device with their own hands. For homemade design you will need special pins. Such fasteners are sold in hardware stores.

To work, you will need a special screw pin. This threaded part is the main operating 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 vice can be spread. If you take into account exactly these dimensional parameters in the drawings of a vice with your own hands, you can get a design that is set apart 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 a screw. Using a drill with a diameter of 1 cm, holes for the studs are formed in all boards at the same time. To prevent the holes from moving relative to each other, you can connect them using nails.

After all the holes are made, the screw and all the studs are inserted into them along with the washer and nut.

Helpful advice! To be able to process workpieces different sizes, you need to make the studs repositionable. 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 posted below to create a vice with your own hands.

Making a metal workbench with your own hands: how to make a metal structure

For plumbing work, it is better to make a metal workbench with your own hands, because a wooden one will not be suitable for this. The fact is that wood is not that durable. In addition, when working with metal workpieces, a tabletop made of this material will be constantly damaged and will quickly become unusable.

In the general drawing of a do-it-yourself bench, you can identify five main components of the design:

For longitudinal rigidity of the product, horizontal beams (3 pieces) measuring 6x4 cm are used. Length – slightly exceeds 2 m.
Rack-mounted small-sized beams (9 pcs.) made of profiled pipes measuring 6x4 cm. They are used to assemble the frame part of the cabinets. In the corner area there are welded spacers made of steel strips. Due to all these elements, the frame is rigid and very durable.
Rack beams (4 pcs.) 9-10 cm long (section 6x4 cm). To do this, it is better to use metal profile pipes with thick walls (more than 2 mm).
Corner No. 50 (4 pcs.), which will be used as vertical posts. The height of these elements is 1.7-2 m. Working tools will be attached here.

Dimensions of the bench:

Helpful advice! In order to make high-quality seams, it is recommended to use a carbon dioxide semi-automatic machine. Experienced craftsmen can use a pulse-type welding machine. If you lack skills in handling this tool, it is better to entrust the work to professionals.

Do-it-yourself workbench manufacturing technology: how to assemble

Manufacturing universal workbench Do it yourself starts with assembling the frame. To do this, you need to take a couple of short and a couple of long beams. During the welding process, these elements may become twisted.

To prevent this, you must:

Lay out the parts on a perfectly flat plane.
In the places where the connecting points are located (there are 4 of them), the beams are tacked using the spot welding method.
After this, all welding seams are fully completed. First on one side of the frame, then on its reverse side.

Then the rear vertical racks and the rear beam (long, one of three) are attached. You definitely need to check how evenly they are placed in relation to each other. If there are any deviations, the beams can be carefully bent using a hammer. At the end, the remaining vertical rack elements are assembled, as well as elements that provide rigidity.

When the frame is ready, corners can be welded to it to strengthen the structure. The tabletop is formed from wooden planks. They must first be soaked in a fire-resistant liquid. Then a sheet of metal is laid on top.

A plywood tool shield can be mounted on the vertical rack elements. The same material is used to sew up the cabinets. For boxes, you can use metal boxes or make wooden structures.

You can use the video below to understand in more detail the technology of making a workbench with your own hands:

Features of creating a wood lathe for a home workshop

In the technology of making a wood lathe with your own hands, the bed 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.

Helpful advice! To make a wood lathe with your own hands according to standard drawings, it is better to use an electric motor that can reach a speed of 1500 rpm. The optimal power indicator is 200-250 W. If you plan to process large workpieces, you can increase the power ratings.

To create a turning - copying machine for woodworking with your own hands, you can use an old one that is no longer needed. This tool is placed on a plywood platform 1.2 cm thick and 20x50 cm in size. You must first make holes in it for fastening elements. Stops made of bars will also be mounted here. They are necessary to ensure that the cutter is in a fixed state. The router itself is secured with two nails between the clamps.

In fact, it is absolutely not difficult to make a copy design of a homemade wood lathe with your own hands - there are enough video materials on the Internet.

An example of a homemade wood lathe with your own hands

For the base, it is better to take a steel profile with thick walls. To make the structure reliable, it is recommended to use two supports. A frame will be installed on top of them. To fasten parts, a groove type of connection is used. First you need to make support platforms intended for the headstocks (rear and front).

List of parts for a wood lathe (it’s easy to understand how to assemble the structure yourself based on this list):

Power component - you can use an electric motor from an old pump or washing machine.
Headstock (rear) - a head from a drill with a high power reserve is suitable.
Headstock (front) - to organize this part, it is better to buy a factory spindle equipped with 3-4 pins. Thanks to this, it becomes possible to shift the workpiece relative to the rotational axis.
The supporting element - the table for incisors - can be of absolutely any configuration, the main thing is that it provides comfort during work.
Pulley - is a connecting element between the headstock and the shafts in the electric motor.

Note! To work with this design, you will need to purchase a set of factory cutters. If you have the right tools, you can make them yourself, but you will need tool steel.

As supporting information, you can use a video detailing this process to assemble a wood lathe with your own hands.

The second example of a DIY woodworking lathe

An alternative solution would be to make the design of a simple mini-wood lathe with your own hands based on 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 wooden workpieces small size. The material for the frame can be wooden beams. The return headstock can be replaced by a combination of a shaft mounted on a support bearing. To fix the workpiece, you will need to take out the appropriate attachment for the drill.

This design has its drawbacks, they are associated with:

high probability that errors will occur in milling;
low level of reliability;
inability to process large-sized wooden workpieces.

But you shouldn’t give up this option, because it forms the basis for technologies for creating more advanced and complex turning tools. To correctly calculate the design, determine for yourself the necessary operational properties and technical specifications.

The principle of making cutters for a wood lathe

The technology in this case is complicated only by the correct choice of workpieces, which not only must have a level of cutting edge hardness that meets the requirements, but also be correctly installed in the clamp - the holder.

Note! In the absence of tool steel, you can make do with improvised means. After the stage is completed preliminary preparation, the material is additionally hardened.

Reinforcing steel bars - it is better to use options that have factory original dimensions and a square cross-section.
Files or rasps - worn-out workpieces are suitable, but it is not allowed to use material with deep chips or cracks.
Automotive springs - before using these blanks they will need to be given a square shape, which not everyone can do. A welding machine is useful for this purpose. Autogen will also do.

Turning: A - with a semicircular blade for rough turning; B - with a straight blade for finishing turning; B - shaped; G - machine passage

The machine can provide the ability to change cutters. For this purpose, 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 is heated, the cutter must be dipped into machine oil. Using slow hardening technology, the surface of the product can be made as hard as possible. In this case, the heated workpiece should cool naturally.

DIY knife sharpening devices: drawings and recommendations

To make a sharpener from a washing machine motor with your own hands, you can limit yourself to a motor from an old Soviet design, for example, SMR-1.5 or Riga-17. A power of 200 W will be enough, although you can increase this figure to 400 W by choosing a different engine option.

The list of parts needed for a DIY sharpening machine includes:

tube (to grind the flange);
a nut for fixing the stone on the pulley;

metal for making a protective casing for a sharpener with your own hands (thickness 2.-2.5 mm);
whetstone;
an electrical cable cord having a plug;
starting device;
a corner made of metal or a block of wood (for the frame).

The diameter of the flange must match the dimensions of the bushing on the motor. In addition, this part will be fitted with grindstone. On one side, this element is threaded. The indentation 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 using heat. Fixation is carried out by bolting or welding.

Helpful advice! The thread should go in the opposite direction relative to the direction in which the engine rotates. Otherwise, the nut securing 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 DIY knife sharpener will have 30 ohms. Then the bed is made. It is recommended to take a metal corner for it.

Some people need sharpening machine for chainsaw chains. You can make such a structure with your own hands from a frame with 3 supports, two spindles, a stepper motor (2 kW) and pipes used as holders.

Instructions for creating a stationary circular saw with your own hands

Creating a table for a hand-held circular saw with your own hands is the most important stage in creating the machine, since this structure will house the main parts of the equipment in the form of:

power unit;
control block;
cutting component;
other components.

The support bed on the hand tool table doubles as a guide for your DIY circular saw. It controls the direction in which the cut is made and fixes the workpiece.

The sawmill is a modification of the circular saw. The only difference is that the disk is located at the bottom. The design of the table for a circular saw with your own hands is assigned the function of a bed. The power unit, block, fixing disk and control system are also installed here.

At the design stage for DIY circular saw drawings, you should take into account some factors:

The depth to which the material will be cut depends on the geometry of the disk.
The power level of the electric motor - a specific indicator of 800 W will be sufficient.
Control system installation area - the control should be located as far as possible from the disk.
Rotational speed - the minimum acceptable value is 1600 rpm, otherwise color change will occur during the cutting process.

Helpful advice! If the table is made for a manual version of the tool, it is recommended to make the tabletop metal. The metal sheet should be equipped with stiffening ribs at the base.

How to make a circular saw from a grinder with your own hands

First, the tabletop is made from sheet material. Markings are applied to it in accordance with the dimensions of the instrument. Using these markings, cutouts are made to install the saw.

Installing a DIY rip fence for a circular saw made from wooden slats. The element is fixed to the tabletop.

Helpful advice! For making your own by copying - milling machine For wood or metal, 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.

Assembling a wood milling machine for a home workshop

At the first stage, drawings are drawn up for a wood milling machine with your own hands, which include information about 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 fastening you need to use a welding machine. Then the dimensional parameters are checked in order to begin manufacturing the working surface.

You need to act within the following scheme:

Markings are applied to the slab and a tabletop is cut out of it.
If the cutter will be placed vertically, you need to make a cutout for it in the slab.
The spindle and electric motor are being installed. In this case, the spindle should not extend beyond the plane of the working surface.
A limit bar is installed.

Be sure to test the machine before work. When the router is turned on, it should not vibrate too much. To compensate for this drawback, it is recommended to additionally install stiffeners.

Assembling a metal milling machine with your own hands

Step-by-step instructions for making a homemade metal milling machine:

The column and frame are made of metal channel. The result should be a design U-shaped, where the base of the tool acts as the lower cross member.
Guides are made from the corner. The material must be sanded and connected to the column with bolts.
From profile pipe With square section guides for the console are being manufactured. Here you need to insert pins with screwed threads. The console will be moved using a diamond-shaped car jack to a height of 10 cm. In this case, the amplitude to the side is 13 cm, and the tabletop can move within 9 cm.
The working surface is cut out of a plywood sheet and fastened with a screw. The fastener heads need to be recessed.
A vice made of a pipe with a square cross-section and a metal angle welded together is installed on the working surface. It is better to use a threaded pin as a fixing element for the workpiece.

Note! It is better to secure the rotating element in the frame so that the spindle is directed downward. To fix it, you need to weld the jumpers in advance; you will need screws and nuts.

After this, you need to attach a cone (Morse 2) to the spindle and install a collet or drill chuck on it.

Features of making a thicknessing machine with your own hands

Do-it-yourself thicknesser drawings with a complex design involve the use of expensive components:

bearings with increased wear resistance;
rolled steel sheets;
cog;
pulleys;
powerful electric engine.

As a result, production costs homemade surface planer increase significantly. For this reason, many try to limit themselves to the simplest design.

Assembling a thickness planer from an electric planer with your own hands

To create a homemade thickness planer, you need to place the plane on the block, secure it with a device such as clamps, not forgetting to leave a gap.

Note! The gap size is set taking into account the thickness of the workpiece that will be processed on the machine.

The scheme for making a surface planer from a plane with your own hands is very simple:

the support beam is fixed on a convenient surface;
the required gap size is selected by adding layers of plywood;
The surface planer structure made from an electric planer is attached to the resulting base with clamps.

Two clamps hold the base on the table, the other two hold the plane. After making sure that this fastening is secure, you can start using the tool.

Scheme for creating a wood grinding machine with your own hands

The optimal width of the sanding belt is 20 cm.
The sanding cloth of the tape is cut into strips.
The abrasive tape is applied end-to-end.
To strengthen the seam, you need to place dense material underneath.
It is not recommended to use low-quality glue, as it will cause the material to tear along the seam.
The diameter of the tape shaft in the center should be 2-3 mm wider than at the edges.
To prevent the tape from slipping, it is recommended to wind it with thin rubber (a bicycle wheel).

Calibrating and grinding machines for wood belong to the group of drum structures. This category is broad and includes many varieties of equipment.

To make a drum sanding machine for wood with your own hands, you can choose the following designs:

surface grinding – the workpiece is processed within one plane;
planetary - with its help a flat plane is formed on the workpiece;
cylindrical grinding – it is used to process cylindrical workpieces.

Rules for operating a wood jointing machine with your own hands

In handmade designs jointer It is very important to set the equipment settings correctly so that errors do not exceed the permitted values:

perpendicular – maximum 0.1 mm/cm;
plane – 0.15mm/m.

You can familiarize yourself with the technology of making a jointer with your own hands using a video.

If during operation a mossy or scorched effect appears on the treated surface, it means the cutting elements have become dull. To make processing parts with dimensions less than 3x40 cm more comfortable, they need to be held using pushers.

A curved surface of the workpiece after processing has been performed indicates that the correct placement of the knives and the working surface has been disrupted. These elements need to be set again.

All of these machines can be useful for home renovations or basic repairs. Therefore, their presence in the home workshop will be useful. Regardless of how the garage is equipped, all machines require careful and attentive handling. You should never forget about safety while working.
