DIY crafts at home with your own hands
Man has been making homemade crafts since prehistoric times. Actually, all industrial processes are the improved once handicraft or home-made developments of folk craftsmen. Sometimes we don’t even think about the fact that we pay for things that we can do with our own hands. DIY homemade schemes are easy to find online, and the materials can be purchased at a hardware store or found at home.
For example, from a cardboard box and a piece of fabric You can make a convenient portable organizer for towels and other textiles.
The topic of storing all sorts of little things is inexhaustible, fortunately, as is the number of ideas. Good ideas for decor You can also draw from ordinary things - let them be buttons or empty tin cans. 
Cool shelves are made from ordinary drawers. How do you like this idea?
As you have already understood, if you have detailed instructions, it is not so difficult to make homemade products with your own hands at home. The video will help you understand all the nuances of this enjoyable activity. Useful tips, interesting ideas - everyone should watch it.
DIY crafts for the garden and garden with your own hands
At the dacha there is usually some free time for creativity and arrangement of the surrounding space. That's why It's worth having a few fresh ideas on hand to implement them on your own summer cottage. Do-it-yourself country crafts at home can be brilliantly simple. From scrap materials you can make unexpected and extremely useful things for home use. 
Ordinary pebbles turn into fairy-tale animals.From an old teapot It makes a wonderful flower pot.
Used tires- this has already become a classic in the world of garden figures. 
Stylish lamps for country interiors – do it yourself from an ordinary jar and candles (don’t forget about safety precautions).
- a great idea for a small cottage. 
Do-it-yourself homemade products for the garden and garden are often made by yourself, without unnecessary time and financial costs. Perhaps you had no idea how useful they would be for the household plastic bottles. Plastic bottles that have gone out of use can serve as the basis for an incredible decorative flower bed. 
Cool “blooming” pillars will significantly decorate your garden space.
Do-it-yourself garden furniture, successful homemade products: photos and drawings
In the previous sections, we told you about homemade products that will become indispensable for the household and home life. However, we should not forget about rest, before which, nevertheless, you will have to work a little. Cozy armchairs, various tables and benches, swings and hammocks- all this country and garden bliss can settle on your site. We invite you to familiarize yourself with photo instructions and drawings for making garden furniture. We have selected the best options for you.
A summer cottage is an area where you can give yourself the freedom to conduct numerous experiments and dream to your heart’s content. This manifests itself not only in interior design, but mainly in the design of a garden or vegetable garden. Inquisitive and inventive owners have long been no longer guided by expensive and standard methods for arranging their plots, since there are a lot of alternative solutions for virtually all areas of activity.
There are several types of vertical beds that allow you to optimize the use of free space. Non-standard designs are an excellent opportunity to create an interesting design for a garden, vegetable garden, or summer cottage.
This type of beds is in most cases used for growing ornamental plants or herbs.
Materials for production:
The length of the drainpipes is adjusted in accordance with the wishes of the owner of the site. However, you should not make bulky beds, as they can complicate movement around the area.
Creating a bed
Stage 1. Create a container. To do this, take a drainpipe, cut it in half lengthwise and put special plugs on both sides.
Stage 2. We take the prepared metal holders and put them on the resulting frames for the beds.
Stage 3. We make holes in the pipe. They are made in those places where metal fasteners will be located.
Stage 4. We pass a cable or strong rope through the holes made.
Stage 5. Fix the cable/rope using fasteners.
Stage 6. Fill the resulting beds with expanded clay and soil.
Stage 7. Plant the plants in the beds.
Stage 8. We hang the pipes to the selected location. Sometimes a special wooden crossbar is installed for this purpose, or rather a structure in the shape of the letter “P”.
Step 9: Alternatively, a special design can be made for the pipes.
Important! A bed made of drainpipes is not resistant to strong gusty winds, so you should choose a place for it that is not blown from four directions by winds. Otherwise, the frame will quickly collapse, nullifying all your efforts.
A bed made from a plastic bag is another modification of vertical beds. It is extremely compact, functional and interesting in appearance. You can make such a bed in a couple of hours.
Materials for production:
- durable polyethylene film;
- sewing machine;
- priming;
- seedling.
In order for the bed to be strong, it is recommended to pay special attention to the thickness of the polyethylene film, which in this case will act as the “frame” of the structure. The minimum film thickness is 0.2 millimeters.
The process of creating a polyethylene bed
Step 1 . We cut out 2 rectangular pieces of film, the size of which corresponds to the size of the bed being created. An allowance of one and a half to two centimeters should be left on each side. The recommended diameter of the bed is twenty centimeters.
Step 2. Sew the rectangles together, leaving only the top part of the bag unconnected.
Step 3. We sew a handle to the future bed, the strength of which will allow it to withstand the weight of the bag filled with soil. It should also be taken into account that when watering the weight will increase.
Step 4. Fill the bag with fertilized soil.
Step 5. We make horizontal cuts on the bag in increments of twenty centimeters. They are necessary in order to plant seedlings in the garden.
Step 6. Plant seedlings.
Step 7. Regularly water the soil and add the necessary fertilizers.
With these simple steps you can get a cheap and useful garden bed.
An integral element of every summer cottage is a compost heap. This is the place where all sorts of biochemical reactions take place to create fertilizers.
To create fertilizers that will satisfy all the requirements placed on them, you should carefully consider several key steps: creating a container and directly making the compost itself correctly. Let's talk about each of them in more detail.
Stage 1. Take eight support posts of the same length.
Stage 2. Treat the bottom of the wooden posts with motor oil or tar.
Stage 3. We dig the posts into the ground so that they are reliable and stable. If the compost bin will be located next to the fence, then 4 posts (that is, one side) can be attached to the fence. This will avoid having to dig 4 holes.
Stage 4. Between each two adjacent posts we nail the crossbars so that we end up with three independent sections. Be sure to leave gaps that will serve as ventilation holes.
Stage 5. In two sections, we nail the boards horizontally to half the height of the pillars. In these places it is planned to create two small doors.
Step 6: The remaining section will have a large door, so only one board should be nailed. It should be located at the very bottom in a horizontal position, that is, like a regular crossbar.
Stage 7. Install the covers. To do this, you can use one large solid board.
Stage 8. Install the pre-prepared doors.
Stage 9. We provide the doors with handles and latches.
Stage 10. We process the wood using special impregnations.
Stage 11. Paint the box in any color that suits your preferences.
Many gardeners mistakenly believe that any components can be dumped into a compost heap. In reality, to create the right biofertilizer, the “ingredients” must be carefully selected.
Among the mandatory components of a compost heap are the following components:
- peat;
- ash;
- needles;
- tree branches;
- leaves;
- hay or grass;
- wood ash;
- plant roots;
- raw vegetables and fruits, etc.
All elements are randomly mixed in a heap. To speed up chemical reactions, it is recommended to cover the pile with a tarp (this is especially true if there is no box).
Trips to the dacha with the family require the presence of entertainment elements on the site that will delight children. The most common way to keep young summer residents occupied is a swing.
Building a swing yourself is not an easy task, but it is quite doable. Of course, you can always take a stick, tie it with a rope and hang the structure on a tree, but this can hardly be called a full-fledged swing. Real craftsmen prefer to build comfortable structures with a comfortable place to sit.
Structural components:
- two logs;
- strong rope.
Indicators:
- log diameter – 85 mm;
- log length – 700 mm;
- distance between ropes – 500 mm.
Making a swing
Stage 1. We stretch the ropes between the logs.
Stage 2. Wrap ropes around each log.
Stage 3. Let the ropes out.
Stage 4. Tighten the ropes to 3 knots.
Stage 5. Attach the swing to the tree.
Important: this swing is designed for only one person.
Garden path from scrap materials
There are several types of garden paths that you can easily make with your own hands.
Step 1. Remove the sidewall from the tire using a knife or saw.
Step 2. Cut the tires.
Step 3. Line the space with corrugated stripes.
Step 4. Paint the path with paint.
Step 5. Sprinkle with stone chips.
This is an economical option for those who don’t want to rack their brains and waste time on a full-fledged garden path. Tire paths are usually used for vegetable gardens, as they are easily laid in the ground.
Stage 1. Paint the corks in different colors.
Stage 2. Dig a small trench.
Stage 3. We drive in supports to strengthen the future path.
Stage 4. We construct the formwork using boards.
Stage 5. Install spacers along the edges of the trench.
Stage 6. Place crushed stone deep into the trench and compact it thoroughly.
Stage 7. Make a solution from sand, cement, glue and water.
Stage 8. Pour the solution into the trench.
Stage 9. Press in the plugs in random order. Smooth multi-colored stripes look interesting.
These are the easiest and fastest ways to make a garden path without purchasing expensive materials.
DIY tools
The expression “everything comes in handy around the house” turns out to be more relevant when it comes to cans. From this plastic container you can make a large number of indispensable tools that are actively used in the process of dacha work.
To make this tool, we only need a sharp knife and the container itself.
Stage 1. Cut off the bottom of the canister.
Stage 2. Mark a cut line for the scoop on the container so that the handle of the canister is the handle of the future tool.
Stage 3. Cut off excess material.
As a result of these simple steps, we get an excellent scoop with a comfortable handle.
Materials:
Manufacturing
Step 1. Wash the canister thoroughly so that no odor remains in it.
Stage 2. Cut the canister vertically into two parts.
Stage 3. We make a groove on the board using a woodworking machine.
Stage 4. Apply glue to the plywood and insert it into the bottom of the canister.
Stage 5. Paint the resulting shelf using a spray can.
Of course, this design will not withstand a lot of weight, but it is quite suitable for storing small parts.
Materials:
- 40 cans;
- scissors;
- rope;
- paper;
- marker.
Stage 1. Pierce the top of the canisters with a knife.
Stage 2. Make a stencil from paper.
Stage 3. Apply it to the canister and outline it with a marker.
Stage 4. Cut out large holes using scissors.
Stage 5. We stack the prepared canisters in several rows, tying each row by hooking a rope under the handles of the containers.
Stage 6. We tie all the rows around the perimeter for greater strength.
Stage 7. If you plan to lean the cabinet against the wall, then drill it to the surface.
Stage 8. Place heavy objects - stones or bricks - in the bottom row.
The result is a fairly spacious and functional rack that will help get rid of the problem of storing many small parts.
Be resourceful and bold in implementing your ideas. Good luck!

Video - We do it ourselves for the dacha
Crafts made from old objects and things that can be given a second life can make your home much more comfortable. Some DIY homemade products for the household can significantly save the home budget, make work easier, or make the surrounding interior more interesting. And even if difficulties arise in the process, overcoming them will be worth it.
Homemade crafts for the home workshop
In almost any home there is always some set of tools necessary for farming. But sometimes situations arise when working in your own workshop or garage requires some kind of device that cannot be purchased in a store or is very expensive. In this case, you can find a way out by making it yourself.
Forge from a balloon
This device for heating metal will become an indispensable assistant in the home workshop. The forge can be safely used to make original items using artistic forging. These will be truly unique forged items.
For the forge, it is best to use an empty 25 liter gas cylinder. Its ends are cut off with a grinder, and the door of the forge and its back part will be made from the cut parts. The inside of the cylinder is covered with fire-resistant ceramic wool, which can withstand temperatures of more than 1200 0 C. On top it is coated with fireclay clay (lined), which can withstand temperatures up to 1500 0 C. After lining, fireclay slabs or fire-resistant bricks are laid on the bottom of the hearth.
A hole is drilled at the top and a small squeegee is inserted, allowing the nozzle of a gas-powered burner to be inserted, which can create a temperature in the forge of more than 1000 0 C - quite sufficient to heat the metal to a certain temperature suitable for forging.
Collapsible garage crane
When manufacturing such a lift, the cash costs will be much less than purchasing a factory model. To make it, you will only have to spend money on materials, half of which may be found in the garage.
Materials required to assemble the lift:
- Two racks - profile pipe 100x100x2350.
- Cross rod - steel pipe of arbitrary length with a diameter of 100 mm.
- Four supports for the rod - profile pipe 100x100x600.
- The base and braces are a corner with 100 mm shelves.
- Two metal rollers for the cable.
- Four wheels for movement.
For the lifting mechanism, it is best to use a manual winch with a worm gear with a maximum load of up to 500 kg, which is attached to one of the racks of the crane beam.
The design does not take up much space in the workshop, is easy to move on hard surfaces and is quite convenient for removing the engine from the car.
Mobile tool rack
The main highlight of this rack is its small size, but at the same time you can place a large number of tools on it, and if necessary, quickly move it to any place or an adjacent room. It is very convenient to use such a rack in your workshop or when carrying out construction and repair work in large rooms, especially when you need to frequently carry tools.
The rack can be assembled on the basis of a collapsible plastic rack installed on a homemade platform with wheels (trolley). The platform is made exactly to the dimensions of the rack from a metal corner with shelves 45x45 mm or a sheet of plywood with a thickness of at least 10 mm. Furniture metal wheels are used for movement.
Additionally, you can make and attach fasteners to the rack for building levels, extension cords and other tools that can be stored in a hanging position.
To help the hostess
It is not always possible to financially buy, for example, some new furniture in a furniture showroom or place an order for its manufacture. But you can always get out of this situation by making the right thing with your own hands, and at the same time making it attractive and unique, using improvised means for this.
Kitchen apron made of corks
The kitchen apron is the surface of the wall located between the countertop and wall cabinets. Usually this part of the wall is tiled. But it is possible to use many other materials to cover it, for example, gluing wine corks to the wall.
This exclusive decor looks quite magnificent.
Before sticking, each cork is cut lengthwise into two halves with a sharp stationery knife. It is advisable to paint the wall black, which will highlight the seams between the plugs.
Corks are glued to the wall using liquid nails in a checkerboard pattern or with a certain pattern, since it is unlikely that they will be laid out perfectly evenly, and curved rows will visually look disgusting.
The plugs themselves are not afraid of moisture, but they quickly get dirty and are difficult to wash, so it is best to cover them with a glass screen made of tempered glass. True, you will have to spend a little money on it and order glass from a special workshop, where they will cut it to a given size and make holes for sockets and fasteners.
The glass is fixed to the wall with anchor dowels, which can be purchased at almost any hardware store.
Although an apron decorated with wine corks may be an expensive pleasure, the result achieved will be worth it.
The surface of the tabletop, as well as the wall, can be decorated with corks and covered with tempered glass.
Hanging folding table
A folding table mounted on the wall allows you to save some space in the apartment. When folded down, it can protrude from the wall at a distance of no more than 10 cm and does not bother anyone at all, but when unfolded it can replace a full-fledged table.
There are many options where you can use a wall-mounted folding table. Here are just a few of the most basic:
Shower for the cottage
There is probably nothing better than cooling off under running water on a hot summer day, especially if it was spent working in the garden. Naturally, only a shower will solve this problem and relieve the fatigue that has accumulated during the day.
You can install the shower yourself without involving outside help; the main thing is to choose a place for it and decide on the type of shower stall.
Among the summer showers, three types of cabins stand out:, which you can freely build on your own:
Installing a simple shower is done as follows:
- A shower cabin frame is made, which can be assembled from metal, wooden beams or other available materials.
- A metal or plastic water container, which can have a volume of 50 to 200 liters, is installed on the roof of the assembled frame.
- It is advisable to paint the metal container black for better heating of the water. Additionally, several heating electric heating elements can be installed in the container, then you can take a shower even in cloudy weather.
The booth can be sheathed with boards, plywood, slate, or simply covered with tarpaulin or cellophane film with folding curtains.
For construction on your own
The topic of construction or renovation probably worries everyone. And, naturally, everyone who is involved in it wants to finish it quickly with minimal financial costs. Therefore, if you want to save money, you can make some construction materials yourself. For example, these could be wall SIP panels or such a useful tool as a vibrating plate, the need for which often arises for many owners of a personal plot.
Homemade SIP panels
To make them, you need to prepare a flat, hard platform. Place a sheet of OSB 10-12 mm thick on it using a rubber spatula with teeth, apply glue to it.
Then lay sheets of grade 25-30 foam plastic on the glue. After this, an adhesive mass is applied on top of the laid foam, as well as on the bottom OSB board, and a second sheet of OSB is laid on top.
If several slabs are being made at the same time, stacked, the work should be done quickly until the glue hardens. Typically, no more than 4-5 panels can be prepared in this way at a time.
After preparing the formed slabs, you need to create pressure using a press. Since at home, of course, there is no hydraulic press, it can be replaced with a thick plywood sheet laid on prepared SIP boards over the entire plane and loaded for 2-3 hours, for example, with several bags of cement, sand or other cargo. You can even use a passenger car by driving onto a plywood sheet along a pre-made overpass.
After the glue has completely dried, the homemade panels are ready; they can be placed in a separate stack and you can begin preparing new panels. The manufactured panels should lie unloaded for another day, after which they can be used for their intended purpose.
Making a vibrating plate
To make a homemade vibrating plate, you will need to prepare:
- An electric motor with an IV-98E eccentric, which is the main part of the vibrating plate.
- Steel sheet, at least 8 mm thick, size 450x800 mm. It can be ordered at any metal warehouse.
- Two pieces of channel no more than 400 mm long.
- An inch pipe for the handle and two rubber bushings for attaching it.
- The tools you will need are a welding machine, a grinder and a set of wrenches.
On the narrow sides of the slab, stepping back 80-100 mm from the edges, make an incision with a grinder to a depth of about 5 mm. After this, bend the edges towards the cut at an angle of approximately 25 0 and weld them. The bends are needed so that the vibrating plate does not sink into the material it compacts and moves freely along its surface.
Then, across the slab at a certain distance calculated for mounting the electric motor, two channels are welded with the shelves down. Through pre-drilled holes in the channel, using M10 bolts, an electric vibrator is attached to them.
The handle, made of pipe, is attached to the vibrator through soft rubber bushings, which can be purchased at an auto parts store or hardware store in the hardware department.
Thus, you can make a lot of useful household things with your own hands, spending only a fraction of the money that you would have to pay when buying a finished product. You just need to put in some effort and have certain skills.
Since you have decided to become a self-taught electrician, then probably after a short period of time you will want to make some useful electrical appliance for your home, car or cottage with your own hands. At the same time, homemade products can be useful not only in everyday life, but also made for sale, for example. In fact, the process of assembling simple devices at home is not difficult at all. You just need to be able to read diagrams and use the ham radio tool.
As for the first point, before you start making electronic homemade products with your own hands, you need to learn how to read electrical circuits. In this case, ours will be a good helper.
Among the tools for novice electricians, you will need a soldering iron, a set of screwdrivers, pliers and a multimeter. To assemble some popular electrical appliances, you may even need a welding machine, but this is a rare case. By the way, in this section of the site we even described the same welding machine.
Special attention should be paid to available materials, from which every novice electrician can make basic electronic homemade products with their own hands. Most often, old domestic parts are used in the manufacture of simple and useful electrical appliances: transformers, amplifiers, wires, etc. In most cases, novice radio amateurs and electricians just need to look for all the necessary tools in a garage or shed in the country.
When everything is ready - the tools have been collected, spare parts have been found and minimal knowledge has been obtained, you can proceed to assembling amateur electronic homemade products at home. This is where our small guide will help you. Each instruction provided includes not only a detailed description of each stage of creating electrical appliances, but is also accompanied by photo examples, diagrams, as well as video lessons that clearly show the entire manufacturing process. If you do not understand some point, you can clarify it under the entry in the comments. Our specialists will try to advise you in a timely manner!
Interesting homemade products for the garden are waiting for you in this article. You will learn how to make a lawn mower from an old washing machine, make a sink, a country shower, and a dryer from scrap materials.
Useful homemade products for the garden - do-it-yourself washing
Not everyone has the financial opportunity to buy a Karcher car. If you can't buy it, then why not invent it? A homemade car wash will allow you to do without running water, reduce water consumption and thoroughly wash your car, fence, garden path or other objects.
Here's what you'll need for this homemade garden project:
- plastic canister with a capacity of 5–20 l;
- hose connector kit;
- automobile nipple;
- a piece of hose;
- silicone sealant;
- sharp knife;
- compressor or car pump;
- watering gun.
Take a set of hose attachments, which includes 2 connectors, a 3/4 threaded fitting, and a 1/2 adapter.
Here is the principle of operation of such a homemade product for the dacha: you connect the gun to a hose, attach this device to the bottom of the canister. A nipple will be built into its neck.
Fill the container with water, but not to the top. Then screw on the lid and pump air inside. Pressure will be created here, and the water will flow well when you pull the trigger of the gun. Here's how to assemble such a mini-wash.
Using the tip of a knife, carefully cut a hole in the lid. It should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the nipple leg. Also cut a circle of the required diameter at the bottom of the side of the canister.
Insert the nipple into the cover.
Now, helping yourself with the wire, place the coupling in the hole intended for it. Apply silicone sealant to secure the connection between the coupling and the canister.
It is necessary to tighten the lid and carry out other work only after the sealant has completely hardened. Then you will connect one end of the hose to the water gun and the other to the canister.
Pour water into the container, but not to the top, so that there is room for pumping air. But do not pump too much, so that the canister does not deform or burst under pressure. Look at how the fitting should be tightened and the connectors installed.
If everything is done correctly, then when you press the trigger of the water pistol, the water will shoot out in a good stream. You can adjust the pressure by twisting the tip of the gun.
At the dacha you can hardly do without a shower. Try to make something unusual rather than tropical, then you will be able to enjoy water treatments even more.
How to make a rain shower from scrap materials for your summer house?
If you have just recently purchased a plot of land and do not yet have a washing room, then you can take a shower right on the street, enclosing a small area near the fence with a curtain. To make such a rain shower, you will need very few components, these are:
- bracket;
- wire;
- flexible hose;
- metal beer can;
- hose adapter;
- awl;
- nails.
Tie the top of the hose with wire to the bracket, and attach the other end to the water supply or pump. When you lower the pump into a barrel of heated water, you will be able to enjoy pleasant water treatments.
You can also make a rain shower head using a disc container as it. In its center you need to fix a plastic adapter that is attached to the shower hose, and the central axis of the discs needs to be removed. Using an awl, make holes at the top of the lid. Seal all fasteners well with sealant. This nozzle is held on a bracket using a thick wire or on a rigid pipe.
If you want to make a rain shower, then you can use plastic pipes for this.
You need to supply water to them, first make many small holes with a soldering iron, and then enjoy the flowing drops. Children really like these water procedures.
But do not forget to first check the water in the container from which it will be poured into the shower; it must warm up in the sun.
And to make a stationary shower, you need to first pour water into a tank or barrel, which will be located under the roof or on the roof of the building. On a warm summer day, the water here warms up well, and you can wash yourself to your heart's content. To be able to do this in cooler weather, then you need to provide a heating system in such containers.
DIY country shower
Before installing it, you need to make a shower stall. If possible, you can make it out of wood, installing this small structure on the base. Install a wooden door or limit yourself to a shower curtain like this.
There are also simpler options. If you have oilskin fabric, then use it.
Another option is to purchase impregnated fabric or use an old awning or tent.
If you made a fence from corrugated sheets and you have some materials left, then try making a shower for your dacha out of them. Metal pipes need to be dug in according to the markings and filled with concrete. When it dries, cut sheets of corrugated sheets are welded to the racks. One of them will become the roof.
If you don't have enough wooden boards, then implement the option shown in the next photo on the right. And on the left is a shower that is made like a fence. So the materials for it will cost almost free.
When the shower is ready, you can install a water container on it. To make it warm up better, you can make a kind of coil out of metal or a hose. Then the water will warm up more actively.
These and other homemade products for the garden allow you to make the most of your existing containers.
To be able to get warm water even when it is not heated by the sun, use electric heating. To do this, you can place the plastic barrel vertically or horizontally. Then it will be necessary to install a shadow on one side, and on the other? water fill fitting. Make an overflow hole so that excess liquid flows out and you can see that the container is already full.
Now all that remains is to install the tank. This is usually done using a shower roof. You can put a flat tank here, made of iron or plastic. You can also make a canister for the soul from a metal or iron barrel. If you need to heat water, then a heating element is installed in the barrel.
Check out other examples of what you can do in your garden with your own hands.
Interesting DIY crafts for your garden
Gardening tools are very necessary for working on the ground. Often, the store sells not very high-quality sets. After a short period of use, the handle of the shovel breaks off, or the teeth of the hoe become bent. Therefore, if possible, try to make your own tools.
Take:
- stalk;
- fragment of a water pipe;
- scrap from a two-handed saw;
- screws;
- screws;
- fragment of a profile pipe with a cross section of 3 cm.
To make the blade, take a scrap of a two-handed saw and draw the outline of the future hoe. Punch two holes.
At the same distance and the same diameter, you need to make 2 holes on the chopper itself, and then cut out a fragment from a two-handed saw.
Drill these holes using a drill and a bit designed for metal work. Connect these two parts using rivets, which are screws.
Now drill a hole in the top of the hoe so you can attach the handle here.
Make also a scoop, which is very interesting to work in the beds. Then such homemade products for the garden will allow you to acquire a very durable set of tools.
Saw off the required piece of the cutting with a grinder and begin to straighten part of it with a chisel.
Then, using lever tools to help yourself, straighten this part almost completely.
All that remains is to work with the hammer so that the blade of the scoop takes on the desired shape. Using a felt-tip pen, draw the outline of its working part and cut it out with a grinder.
Using an abrasive wheel, clean the edges of the shovel and make them smoother. Now sand the tool with a flap wheel. This is how shiny this shovel will be.
Also drill a hole in it for the handle, then insert it and secure it with a screw.
Cover the handles of both instruments with an antiseptic and then with varnish. Now you can use the tools for their intended purpose. If you want, use the same principle to make a ripper for beds.
It’s very exciting to create things like this for your garden with your own hands. Perhaps after you have made the tools, you will want to make a device on which you can dry part of the harvested crop. See how one gardener did it.
How to make a dryer for fruits and vegetables?
Look at what materials you need to take for this:
- sheet metal;
- square pipes;
- locking mechanism;
- polycarbonate sheet;
- self-tapping screws;
- 2 door hinges.
- grinder;
- welding machine;
- drill;
- stationery knife;
- tape measure and marker;
- metal scissors;
- with a hacksaw.
The door here will be metal. To make it, cut 4 fragments from an iron pipe and weld them into a rectangle. Then you need to sheathe this base with metal using screws with nuts and self-tapping screws. If possible, weld a steel sheet. To make a mount for baking sheets, attach wooden blocks to the back of the frame. Take self-tapping screws for this. In this case, on each side there are 4 wooden blocks for 4 baking sheets.
An absorber is installed in the dryer. Take some sheet metal and paint it black. Use heat-resistant paint. When it is dry, place this blank on the bottom of the dryer.
For the absorber, take a thick aluminum or copper sheet, or, in extreme cases, steel. These materials conduct heat well.
Now you need to sheathe the outside of the dryer, make the roof transparent, made of polycarbonate. Then the sun's rays will penetrate well here. Glass can also be used. Cover the ventilation windows with a mosquito net to prevent insects from flying in.
Attach hinges and a locking mechanism to the door. Secure the door in place. Look what a wonderful, beautiful and spacious dryer it turned out to be.
All that remains is to make the baking sheets. They must allow air to pass through. First, knock together the frames from the bars, and then attach the metal mesh to them.
Now you can cut fruit and watch how your device will work. Place a thermometer in the dryer to monitor the temperature. It should be between 50–55°C. At lower temperatures, cover the bottom holes by placing a rag here.
In such a homemade dryer you can dry not only fruits, but also vegetables, herbs, fish, meat, and roots.
If this design diagram for such a device seems complicated to you, then you can make a dryer from a metal barrel. A hole for the door is cut out in it, and metal mesh racks are inserted inside.
To prevent water from flowing in here and for better ventilation, a roof like this is installed on top.
You can upgrade this fixture by installing a fan and an electric heater inside.
If you want to make your own lawn mower, then this is also possible.
Turn an old washing machine into it, for example, like this one.
And if you still have an old bedside table, then you can turn it into a platform for a future almost self-propelled device. But you only need the door from the bedside table.
Drill holes in the center of the motor shaft. Make a cutting knife from an old two-handed saw. It is necessary to saw off it to the size of the desired shape, cut out a recess inside.
Attach two wooden pickets that will become the handles of the mower. Don't forget to secure the motor and extension cord to it. Now you can test such an interesting unit.
