For the rational use of space, communications and devices for the garage are used with their own hands from scrap materials. It is necessary to use walls, an underground level in the process, place it indoors, organize normal lighting.

DIY garage accessories

For the comfortable operation of a room intended for storing a car, you should adhere to certain recommendations:

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

Storage locations, racks, workbenches

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

The main nuances of these designs are:

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

Lighting and ventilation

In garages, parallel lighting circuits are more often used. One lamp allows you to use a specific area, several devices are turned on during major repairs, visiting the cellar. The minimum power consumption is ensured. Daylighting devices have a great resource.

In cars, poisonous, harmful fuels and lubricants are used, therefore, do-it-yourself devices for ventilation of the garage, allowing you to create air exchange, become relevant. The inflow is organized from below:

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

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

Other helpful ideas

Useful accessories for a garage with your own hands can be made from used utensils, inventory, materials left over from construction. For example, by gluing the lids of plastic cans horizontally / vertically, the owner gets a convenient transparent utensil for tooling or hardware, which is always at hand.

Homemade machines

Garage accessories can also be assembled from a power tool:

• drilling - a drill fixed with clamps in a device moving a gear along a rail;

• detachable - similarly clamped angle grinder with equipment for metal or wood;

The advantage of the machines is a more accurate positioning of the tooling relative to the workpiece. The equipment turns out to be collapsible, the drill and angle grinder can be removed and used as intended.

Hydropress

The simplest design is obtained from an automobile hydraulic jack. To press out / press in bearings, press / compress parts, you will need to build a frame and a removable movable stop. The frame consists of 4 channels welded to each other. At the top, the structure is reinforced with stiffening ribs (kerchiefs), at the bottom, transverse corners are added, giving the frame stability.

The stop is pulled in a normal position to the upper crossbar of the frame by powerful springs. A hydraulic jack is installed between them, if necessary, pressing the stop to the lower crossbar of the frame. The force of the press is regulated by a jack, the dimensions of the working area are selected depending on the size of the workpieces.

And finally, a few more examples of useful things for the garage.

Homemade machines and accessories for the home workshop.

The master came up with a new design of the machine based on the washing machine engine, which is more functional than analogues. In the process of work and in the final design, several interesting solutions were applied.

For homemade products, you will need a profile pipe, a sheet of plywood, a piece of water pipe, a bearing, a hairpin, and pulleys. At first I wanted to install a 420 watt motor, but later I replaced it with a 300 watt motor, which is enough for this construction with pulleys.
A framework in the form of a parallelepiped.
The master decided to install a large diameter grinding disc - 45 cm in order to increase the functionality of the machine.
Such a machine has more possibilities.

Several comments.

Nils Forsberg
Maybe I'm a fool, of course, but I don't understand why people use disc grinders, why not belt grinders? After all, the plate has different speed of movement of the sandpaper in different places of the disc, which is why it is almost not used near the center, and at the edge, on the contrary, then again cut into a circle - loss of material, a lot of glue goes for gluing, etc. In a belt sander, the speed is the same everywhere, which is in the center and along the edges, it is more economical in terms of the consumption of sandpaper, in terms of glue consumption and in terms of wear resistance it is much better. you can glue the tape at least 3 meters or even more. Unless a tape engine is needed more powerful, but the benefits are undeniable.

super. one note, do not weld the bearing assembly. The welding current passes through the balls, can spark through them, and the service life of the unit is noticeably reduced. At least the return wire must be hooked onto the pipe itself, and not onto the axis. The rest is handsome!

Vladimir
I looked with pleasure. A lot of witty solutions! I would order the bearing housing from a turner, and then I sawed the pipe, pressed it, welded it and everything is ready! Subscribed to the channel. Hopefully a lot to learn.
And the video editing made me happy! Already got the people explaining "two and two" for an hour!

Machine tools and accessories from a simple drill

It is difficult to do without mechanization and automation, with only hand tools.

Practical DIY tool shelves

Before creating the devices and with your own hands, determine the storage location for all the devices, so that later you do not search throughout the workshop or where what lies. It is not difficult to make a shelf for tools with your own hands, the main thing is to decide on its dimensions and material of manufacture.

The easiest way to make shelves is to assemble them from wood. Do not forget about the need to cover the finished structure with a protective varnish or to prevent wood from rotting and swelling.

You can create a combined version of a metal support and wooden shelves. Here are detailed instructions for creating such a homemade model:

Image	Sequencing
	Assembling the frame. To do this, prepare two side frames, consisting of 4 corners. Connect the elements with. Then, pull 2 ​​frames together using 4 corners.
	When the frame is completely assembled, proceed to making the shelves. They can be made from wood or metal, as well as from other available dense materials. It is enough to cut the canvases of a suitable size and fix them on a metal base.
	If you wish, you can make the rack movable by fixing four small wheels. Or install it firmly in the designated spot in the garage.

We make a carpentry workbench with our own hands according to the drawings: video instructions and photo examples

Among the common devices with their own hands, a workbench is distinguished. Strong and dimensional, allowing you to securely fix the workpiece, useful for high-quality cutting of wood and the creation of various elements from it.

The package includes:

1. Working surface. For her, use a solid one in order to increase the service life of the device. The thickness must be at least 6 cm.
2. Supports. Collected from wooden beams or metal plates. The main task is to ensure the stability of the entire mechanism.
3. Vise for fixing the product. If the table is long, you can install two vices at once.
4. Tool box. Useful recess or pull-out design for quick access to the small parts you need.

To independently assemble a carpentry workbench for your workshop, you should choose a drawing, purchase material for work.

DIY carpentry workbench drawings

Before buying materials for assembling your own workbench, you should think about a detailed drawing. It should include the dimensions of the machine itself, it is advisable to note the dimensions of the materials used and their quantity.

For example, a ready-made drawing of a folding workbench with your own hands may look like this:

Whichever model you choose to create, consider several features of the desktop that make it easy to cut wood:

• the height and length of the hands of the master: the height and width of the tabletop depend on these parameters;
• which hand is working: place a vice to the right or left;
• what blanks will be made: selection of the shape of the table;
• what area in the room set aside for the workbench.

Considering all these parameters, it will be easier for you to decide on the drawings of the joiner's workbench and the dimensions of the machine. Here are some interesting examples:

DIY instructions for assembling a wooden workbench

You can buy a wooden workbench in a store or through online catalogs, but it's cheaper to make one yourself. Let's take as a basis a simple version with typical tabletop dimensions: length - 150-200 cm, width 70-120 cm.

The manufacturing work will include several stages:

Image	What need to do
	Make the top cover from thick ones so that you get a shield with a width of 70 to 200 cm. Fasten the elements with long nails, and you need to drive them in from the outside, and carefully bend them from the inside. The working surface of the workbench is made only of wood or.
	Sheathe the lid along the lower perimeter with a 5 x 5 cm bar. This will make it more convenient to attach the vertical supports. The location of the supports depends on the size of the tabletop. It is better to make them from a thick rectangular bar of at least 120 x 120 mm.
	Install the carpentry workbench correctly. Be sure to secure it firmly. If it will be mounted outdoors under a canopy, then dig holes for the supports. Use other fastening methods indoors.

When the structure is assembled, install a vice on it. To fully understand how to assemble a carpentry workbench with your own hands, watch the video:

Making a joiner's vice for a workbench with your own hands

Professional "homemade products" assemble not only tables for work, but also a vice with their own hands according to drawings. Any design of such a clamp will include several elements:

1. Supports where each one falls with a clamping jaw.
2. Moving clamping jaw.
3. Metal guides. A sponge moves along them.
4. Lead screw for moving elements.
5. Vorotka. Required to rotate the screw.

When making homemade vices with your own hands, you can use various materials at hand. For example, there is a design option from a profile pipe. To do this, prepare several pieces of pipe of different sizes, a steel stud with a coarse thread and double nuts.

Instructions for creating a vertical vise from a profile pipe:

Image	What need to do
	The largest pipe acts as a body. Supports are soldered to it from below. On the back side, a 3-4 mm steel flange is put on. In the center, a hole is drilled for the running nut, and opposite the front support, the rear jaw.
	On the inner movable part, the front steel flange. A stud is mounted in it, with lock nuts fixed to it. Thrust washers are put on both sides of the flange. The last element is a movable tube attached to the front jaw.

DIY metalwork workbench drawings

Locksmith's metal workbench does not differ much from the carpenter's one. It is based on a rigid metal frame, not a wooden frame. A vice is attached to it, and the entire workbench is designed to withstand the force of a blow with a sledgehammer.

Do-it-yourself metal workbenches can have one, two or three pedestals, and also do not have shelves and drawers for small parts. In terms of strength, for working in a garage, you can make an ordinary table of metal up to 5 mm thick and a reinforced structure, where sheets from 10 to 30 mm are applicable.

Here are some useful blueprints for making a metal workbench for your workshop:

How to make a tool for sharpening knives with your own hands: drawings and photo examples

Not a single house can do without a knife in the kitchen. It is quite difficult to make the correct one without special devices: it is necessary to maintain the desired angle and achieve the ideal sharpness of the blade.

A certain sharpening angle must be observed for each knife:

1. The razor and scalpel require a 10-15⁰ angle.
2. Knife for cutting bakery products - 15-20⁰.
3. Classic multifunctional knives - 25-30⁰.
4. For hunting and hiking, take a device with a blade angle from 25 to 30⁰.
5. If you want to cut hard materials, then sharpen at an angle of 30-40⁰.

To ensure the desired angle, it is worth buying or making a sharpener. For example, you can assemble a sharpener with your own hands.

A comment

Tool selection specialist "VseInstrumenty.ru"

"If you do not use sharpening every day, then 1000 rpm is enough for a high-quality result and a long service life of the device.

To assemble such a machine, a 200 W washer motor is useful. Completely to create a sharpener from an engine from The progress of work on creating such a simple device will be as follows:

• Sand the wood blocks with sandpaper to remove any burrs. Mark up according to the desired angle.

• Attach a stone to the line you drew to sharpen the blade. To do this, attach it to a block and mark its width. Then, on the markings, make cuts, up to 1.5 cm deep.
• In the resulting grooves, fasten the abrasive bars so that the grooves coincide. Then, install the sharpening stone by screwing it onto the bolts.

There are many ways to make a home knife sharpener. Pick the right one and try to create a convenient and useful tool for your home.

How to make a tool for sharpening a drill for metal with your own hands

They independently make not only a sharpener for blades, but also a machine for sharpening drills for metal. Here are some blueprints that are useful for the job:

• bed for the base;
• rotation mechanism;
• vertical rack.

For the rack, either boards are usually used. The weight of the drill is small, so there is no need to use metal. In this case, the bed must be made massive in order to reduce vibrations during the operation of the device.

To correctly connect the bed and the vertical rack, as well as assemble all the equipment into one whole machine, pay attention to the video instruction:

Drawings with dimensions for a drilling machine do it yourself

To correctly make any machine or practical device for private use, you should first make a drawing with dimensions. Only then proceed with the preparation of materials and assembly of the device.
