Rarely what kind of garage serves exclusively for the storage of a car, but even this eventually becomes overgrown with a bunch of necessary homemade servings for its maintenance. Often the garage serves as a home workshop for its owner. What is it to fill, to facilitate the life of the car owner and, of course, save money on repair and maintenance of the car.
It's about homemade clothes for a garage and a house master, which you can make by yourself.
The very first thing, in my opinion, is what needs to be made in the garage - a place for storing all sorts of trivia and tools. It can be racks or shelves, which successfully fit into the garage interior and contribute to bringing order to it. They can be built from wooden boards or metal corners, which you have left during the repair or construction of the house.
And with the help of magnets, you can easily take small parts.
Very useful is the garage for storage of garden accessories, if the place allows, of course, because not always on a suburban site a special room for such things is assigned. The photo below shows how easy it is to do this with the help of straps and hooks.
Also in the garage it is convenient to store tourist and sports equipment (after all, not everyone in the city apartment has an extra place for storing bikes for the winter).
Very save space in the room is such a device on the ceiling:
Well and most importantly - a special place in the garage is given to the tires. Real home masters of their craft can easily make holders for tires with their own hands.
And if there is a welding machine, then such holders can be built from metal corners.
And the place saves, and the garage is not cluttered. And you can safely carry out masterpieces for making homemade products for repair and maintenance of your car.
Supports and mini-beams in the garage
The jack is a standard tool in the car kit, but even minor work under the bottom of the car, when it is hung on the jack, is strictly prohibited. And sometimes it is necessary to lift the whole of its front or back part.
Without supports, goats in this case can not do.
Sometimes the supports are made in the form of mini-decks, on which the car comes.
In addition to the general requirements listed below, an important element of such supports is the stop in front of the structure.
It is not so important from what they will be made, but the requirements are the same:
- stable wide support;
- safety factor for the estimated weight of the car;
- minimum gaps between moving elements for height-adjustable stands.
On the video - the simplest coasters with the arrival:
Very often this kind of homemade dress is not at hand in the garage during repair, which does not require the involvement of service specialists.
After all, they are removed from the shafts, not only bearings, but also gears, they also help to press out and press the silent blocks and stuff.
A puller for factory-made bearings is quite expensive, and it is not so difficult to manufacture this device yourself:
Even if you do not have welding, and the puller is needed urgently, then between the strips of the stripper body from the video, you can hold the elongated nut with sampling-stops. Or use a design with a powerful plate with drilled holes, as in the photo, where the nuts can work simply on the stop and without welding. But a small welding, capable of fixing such elements, it is also useful to have in the garage.
Self-made welding from a transformer from a microwave oven for a garage
This is one of the most suitable transformers for conversion into a welding machine. The primary winding is used in it, only the secondary is altered. Moreover, the wire can be used and thinner than in the video you are offering, but it is desirable to have a section from 8 to 10 mm:
Just increases the number of turns. Transformers from non-powerful microwaves produce welds with a power of 0.5 kW, current strength of about 250A and an output voltage of about 2V. They are able to weld 2 sheets of steel 1-1.5 mm thick.
Such devices can be doubled, increasing the power indicators.
But the case is not necessary to saw the saw - you can cut off the projecting turns of the secondary winding and take it out, and simply drag the new wire into the formed windows.
Also, it is not necessary to place the electrodes opposite each other. You can arrange them side by side, with a gap of 2 - 3 mm. With such a device, you can weld the wing to the body and do many other things.
You just need to modify the holder a little and make it removable.
And for small things, this version of mini-welding using a standard battery from the car is also suitable:
Compressor from an old refrigerator in the garage
Despite the apparent weakness, it is a fully functional unit. With its help and wheels can pump up, and with a little refinement to tint the car. It is not weaker than most car cigarette lighter drivers, but unlike them, a much longer time can work.
The main problem of direct use of this compressor is the presence in the circuit of its connection in the refrigerator unit of the thermostat. It should be disabled:
But the installation on the output hose of a fine filter car filter that detects oil droplets is ineffective, it is better to use more powerful filters with settling tanks for this purpose. The starting relay is worth using. The compressor is powered from 220V, which makes it tied to the mains, but in a garage - this is a very useful device.
To pump the wheels on the output hose is to put a gun with a pressure valve and a pressure gauge, because the pressure of this baby can create up to 16 atm.
And if you plan to produce small paint jobs with such a compressor, then you can not do without a receiver.
In its role, any sealed container capable of withstanding a pressure of 4-7 atm can protrude into which two threaded or comb fittings can be embedded. Installation of a manometer in such a system is mandatory.
Also as a receiver you can use a car wheel or even a camera. A more stationary version of such a receiver is shown in the video:
But you can not spoil the drive, but make the system easier.
The hose of swap is connected to the system via a spool, and on the outlet branch there is a mechanism for closing the air in the spray gun.
Of course, you can use and.
But in this case, you should cut a stopcock before it. But the wheel can be pumped up and a mechanical pump, with a small air flow, this pressure will be enough.
The simplest devices for recharging the battery
To have a full-fledged car charging is good, but sometimes it is rather expensive, especially since cheaper devices can perform its function. So with a full charge of a car battery with a capacity of up to 75 ampere-hours, the charger from the laptop can quite handle.
Moreover, there is no need to make any alterations, but it is enough to include in the circuit an automotive 12-volt lamp with a power of 55 watts and periodically monitor the degree of charging of the battery with a multimeter.
When the indicator reaches 13 - 13.5V, you should stop charging - the battery is fully charged. In addition, it is extremely important not to confuse the polarity. This use of the adapter does not harm it at all.
In general, without any rework with the recharging function, the chargers for a 12-volt cordless power tool are doing quite well, and on most of them, and LEDs that indicate a full charge of the battery, are available.
The old power supply from the computer is also capable of recharging the old battery to a level sufficient to start the car. It has an output voltage of 12V, and for full charging it needs to be up to 14V, but minor modifications can provide this voltage.
Tire fitting and balancing - homemade for the home master
The creation in your garage of devices for independent tire fitting and balancing is realistic, and will allow you to constantly save a lot of money. And it will take for this not so many adaptations:
- universal machine for tire fitting;
- balancing device.
Some craftsmen carry the functional parts of the tire changer, but in a garage it is better to combine them on the contrary.
It will take a paw with a lever to tear the tires off the disk and a fixed stand with holes for attaching the disc and a central thrust pin. Fixing the disc can be done in various ways, but since you have 1 - 2 cars in personal use, it is reasonable to make fastenings under specific wheels. The easiest way is to drill the holes for the bolts in place. The number of levers for removing and placing tires on the disk can be large, and you can do with one - two-sided.
That's what the home master did on video:
Of course, it would be more convenient to fasten such a machine to the base, but on the other hand: in assembled form it will not take up much space in the garage, but its basic function will do so.
And yet, we do not often wheel the wheels as they require balancing. According to the rules, it should be done at least every 10 thousand km, but this procedure is very expensive at the SRT and therefore very few can withstand the established frequency. Yes, and its quality does not always match our expectations, because complex computerized machines set up and maintain even more expensive, and suffer from this running our cars.
There are 2 types of balancing:
- static;
- dynamic.
Fixtures for both are not complicated, but you need a good turner and a quality bearing for one of them. Often static balancing is quite enough, if you basically drive at a speed not exceeding 120 km / h. It is necessary to turn the hub to fix the wheel of your car, it is advisable to do this with one fixing of the part or it is then carefully balanced by drilling the blind holes in the right place.
And the process of static balancing is clear from the video:
The listed accessories for the garage, which are not difficult to produce with their own hands - are not the only of its kind, there are many other homemade products that simplify the "garage" life of the home master. If you share your options of such devices with us, then we will be sincerely glad.
Dear readers, if you have any questions, ask them using the form below. We will be glad to communicate with you;)
Homemade for the garage - not only useful devices, created by own hands. This is the realization of the creative potential inherent in everyone. Next, we will share ideas that every car enthusiast will be able to implement.
Tools are always at hand
The order in the garage is difficult to navigate, difficult to maintain and very easy to break. Let's look at some useful things that are easy to make and can be used all the time.
Store small tools, such as scissors, screwdrivers and other accessories, conveniently in a small container. For example, in an old piston from the engine. It is massive enough not to roll over under the weight of tools, it is stable. And if you clean it with a normal metal brush and polish it, you get a very stylish thing.
Another storage for small tools, in which they will always be in quick access, can be done with their own hands in just an hour. By design, this device resembles a book that was attached to the wall.
To produce it, you do not need drawings, just figure out how many tools you need to place. On the wall are attached two boards, to which, with the help of conventional window hinges, the "pages" should be fixed. Their number and size are also completely arbitrary - it depends on the needs of the master.
As a result, two or three vertical panels are obtained, on each plane on which hooks or studs hang pliers, nippers, staplers, disks for the Bulgarian, round-nosed ones. In general, all the tools and details that are often needed and whose searches in boxes take time.
More "advanced" items for storing tools in the garage can be made from plastic cans and bottles with a capacity of more than 5 liters. Many people buy cleaned drinking water, and canisters store "for later", without thinking that you can make useful things from them. They can be effectively used, literally in an hour with their own hands, constructing a compact and lightweight rack.
To create it, you should take the available plastic containers and cut off the necks with the help of a regular clerical knife. Some craftsmen advise not to cut the neck completely, but leave a small part of it. Due to this, the parts and tools will not fall out.
The resulting boxes are fastened together with bolts and nuts. Depending on the need, such a rack can have one, two or more levels. Also, canisters can be arranged in the form of a column, but then it must be fixed to the wall.
Note that such homemade crafts will be useful wherever the tool is stored: in a garage, a city apartment or at a dacha.
So simple!
Sometimes wise old masters forget that simple in appearance crafts can greatly facilitate the work. For example, in a garage where there is no pit or temporarily unable to use it, you can make a mini-flyover. For this invention, only two old tires or a pair of discarded wheel rims are needed, as well as a pair of strong long boards and two short boards. The machine can easily get on such a "flyover", the arrangement of which will take only a few minutes. And the received height will be quite enough. In addition, the tires are wide enough and the risk of a car falling from them is minimal.
Another simple thing that you can do with your own hands in a minute is the wash basin. Many drivers use plastic bottles, from which they pour water on their hands. The downside of the device is that you can not hold the bottle and lather your hands at the same time. The problem is solved with an empty plastic canister. She cuts the bottom, and holes are made for hangers. After the end of work, this washbasin is hung on the garage door, the lid opens, and a trickle of running water will suffice to wash your hands off dirt in a hurry.
There are simple inventions by which you can protect property from the encroachment of criminals. For example, the simplest design, which will not open the gate in case they have a loop cut off.
This requires two angles 50X50 mm, about 5 m in length. On the inside, openings are made in the door frame, the same is done at the corners. After that, the corners are screwed so that the protruding end goes behind the opening of the gate. When the attackers cut off the hinges, the corner will not allow to remove the doors. This is a simple system of protection, which can be done in an hour.
Most people own their own car garage. Whether it's a newly built or purchased already existing one, the new owner will put in it an order that allows the practical use of the garage in the future. After all, each owner (except for the car) wants to have in the garage basic equipment for minor repairs around the house, apartment, tool for the simplest preventive maintenance of the car. These and other items will be described in an article on home-made furniture for a modern garage, relying on the practical knowledge of professionals.
In practice, there are often cases where a person purchases a car with a garage, or builds the car alone. The garage is finished, you can not worry about the safety of the car. But the room can not be empty. How is it for a motorist to have a garage with a car, and not to have a simple workbench with an elementary tool, pendant shelving, a place for storing a jack with a set of winter or summer tires? Electric tools, screw and threaded fasteners must have their place.
The construction of the garage is over. I wanted to buy a workbench for work, racks for chaotically scattered tools. But the financial situation makes you postpone the purchase for later. How to be?
You can use the garage for the intended purpose - to store the car in anticipation of financial opportunities for the arrangement of the premises, and you can start making a rack or workbench yourself or connect a specialist friend. If there are building materials like metal, bricks, boards of different diameters, power tools and a faithful assistant - the Internet - making a shelf for tools for the owner will not be difficult.
Shelf for the tool - practical homemade in the garage
The tool rack is practical to install in a place near the car, as during maintenance you do not have to run through the garage in search of a particular key. The ideal location of the shelf is above the roof of the car, the width of the board should be chosen such that a small box with a tool or the same plane, the emery freely fit.
When building a shelf, do not forget about the load on the shelf. Since the tool is heavy, in the structural features of the shelf, it is necessary to include metal reinforcements from the reinforcement, angle or profiled pipe. Depending on the availability of materials, the thickness of the metal (for reinforcement) should be at least 12 mm. Cut the pieces of reinforcement at a distance of 50 cm from each other (the optimal distance to prevent the deflection of the board under the influence of metal loads).
After the preparation of all the components, we proceed to work. Sliced reinforcement evenly distributed throughout the length of the future hinged shelf. By the diameter of the pins, we select the drill, drill the wall approximately 15 cm deep. After drilling, we hammer the reinforcement into the garage wall, leveling along the length.
To fix the shelf you need a corner. The metal is marked, cut into pieces, which will be welded along the edges of the protruding pins. From the wall under the board, a strip of metal is welded and cut off along the length of the shelf, holes for fixing the board are drilled in it. The last thing, laid out on the size of the boards, fixed with screws or bolted fasteners. After finishing all the repair work, the ready shelf for the tool can be painted in the desired color.
Garment furniture items are not difficult to make. And if a person likes to make by hand, it will be interesting. The tool remains a lot, but there is no room left on the shelf? Then you can think about the construction of a garage rack.
At first glance, it seems cumbersome and heavy on the design principle. But do not be upset, because it's all just a mountain of metal, on bolted connections with wooden elements, that is, you can do everything yourself.
Shelving - the main subject of garage furniture
When deciding to make a rack, you need to plan in advance the design features, the location of the cabinets, the very dimensions that will not interfere with the free movement of the garage, as well as the entrance to the car.
Usually, one wall is allocated for the rack. With the height determined by proceeding from what items and details will be stored here. Determine the number and size of shelves and lockers, the project is first drawn on paper.
The lowest shelves are wider and higher than others, securely strengthened. A set of winter rubber, jacks, fuel cans, and other large items are stored from the bottom. The bottom of the bottom shelf should be from a thick board or metal sheet in order to prevent it from breaking from the load of heavy loads.
Their practical application was found shelving, built on the entire wall from floor to ceiling. With width it is necessary to be defined depending on details and the tool which plan to place in it. Do not forget about the passage between the machine and the rack, it should be free.
For parameters - practical depth - width, selectable up to 60 cm depth per 1 meter width. In such an opening, most of the power tools, metal, jacks, car first-aid kit, even a spare tire.
Having marked the dimensions of the rack for your garage, you need to take care of reliable construction elements, since it is not built for one year. For the base of the shelves a corner is suitable, which will need a lot. The construction is connected by a welding method, with the fastening to the wall.
The metal corner is cut into two groups by the planned dimensions:
- Vertical racks;
- Crossarms of the rack.
We will place the vertical racks in place of the new rack on the wall. With the help of welding, you first need to connect the elements from the corners, which will be the base for the lockers and shelf shelves. The main thing is to make sure that after the welding joints the pieces of corners are strictly in the horizontal plane. Next, go to the welding of the entire frame. After welding, the seams are carefully cleaned, then primed, the whole frame is painted against corrosion and other metal influences.
The last step in creating a garage rack for yourself is choosing, marking and cutting along the contours of the lines of the wooden floors of the structure. Determine the location of the board - the masonry is carried along the future shelf or across. Before installing the board in the rack, the wooden floor elements are treated with special protective compounds from mold, rot, insect pests. After processing, the board can be opened with enamel.
The board is fastened with screws, during screwing it is worth paying attention to the tightness of the boards to each other. Fixed the ready rack to the wall with the help of large anchors drilled into the wall, or stitches with a welding machine to the fittings that protrude from the same wall of the garage.
For the most comfortable sorting of tools, on the sides of the rack, you can attach an elongated small container (previously with graphite, solidol) to bolts or testers with screws or screws.
Workbench - workplace motorist
The main element of the furniture wall of the garage is a workplace, a workbench, without which there is no comfortable independent work. Before starting the assembly, we determine how much free space can be allocated under the table. The chosen place should be with an even, firm base. After marking, we cut the future elements of the structure along the lines.
The workbench is assembled from a profiled pipe or metal corner. The frame, as in the previous cases, is practical to assemble with a welding machine, since you do not have to drill holes for the bolted connection.
The average optimal height of the table is 90 cm, but each owner chooses the required height, based on personal growth, the way they work behind the workbench - some prefer sitting working, others will arrange the usual situation. The width of the table will be such that the person passes freely between the car and the workbench.
Having finished the work on assembling the frame, it is recommended to priming, painting the part from corrosion, giving the appearance design. The surface is a tabletop with a thickness of 7.5 cm. The basis of the surface is a multilayer plywood, 100 mm thick.
If at the stage of editing the homemade, multi-ply plywood can not be obtained, the table top is made by gluing 7 sheets of ordinary thin plywood, which is glued together by a wooden glue PVA or Moment. After applying a layer of glue, allow to stand for 5 minutes, then press pieces of plywood. After gluing all the sheets, it is recommended to lay under the press for a day.
Council. In order not to cut each sheet of plywood in size separately, first you can work on gluing all the sheets of plywood, and only then fix and cut off the extra length of the part.
The working surface of the table top is covered with a metal sheet, 5-6 mm thick. First, the sheet is laid on a bench for pre-marking, then cut with a jig saw with a file for metal or a bulgarian in size. The metal working surface is fastened to the table with screws screwed into the drilled holes to the board.
Assembling the workbench, as an additional space for the tool will serve as a free space under the countertop. It is required to finish several crossbars from the metal corner - a couple of lockers ready. It can be varied with the practical design of lockers - they can be pull-out, as well as with the doors opening.
There are many different homemarks. Do not need to rush around the garage in search of tools or parts, everything you need is collected in one place. Practical and convenient.
Garage is not just a parking lot. It is also a workshop, a resting place, and a club for interests. Therefore, the arrangement of the garage should be convenient and thoughtful. A small area should accommodate a lot of things, and use them should be convenient. This will help homemade for the garage. What the people do not do with their own hands. From the elementary shelf to the complex device. All this can be done independently. But it is necessary to know how. Several ideas for the modernization of the garage and a plan for their implementation in the article.
Homemade for the garage: ideas for the arrangement
Arrangement of the garage is a long process. Immediately do everything will not work, you have to constantly upgrade something, change, make something new. In this case, mostly, they use homemade garments for the garage. It requires less money and even gives pleasure - to make the necessary thing out of garbage is worth a lot.
Storage of tires and wheels
Each car owner is faced with the problem of keeping the off-season "shoes" for the car. Where to stick tires - a painful question. In general, the way to store tires depends on whether they are mounted on disks or not.
So tires with disks can be hung or stored lying down - in the form of a stack, by stacking them one on another. For suspension of tires, it is possible to use luggage belts, chains, a metal cable with a diameter of 4 mm and more in a polyethylene sheath. Fasten the straps to the ceiling, the wall, to the above-located beam.
Another affordable way - to drive into the wall pins or hooks with a small radius of bending. The distance between the hooks is slightly larger than the diameter of the tires. The length of the pins should be such that they do not protrude past the tire's limits. They can be filled almost up to the ceiling so that the wheels can climb.
Tires without wheels can only be stored "standing". For them, make special shelves. They are usually welded from a profiled pipe. 20 * 20 mm, maximum, 30 * 30 mm. You can also use a corner. A round pipe to cook is inconvenient, but from it you can make cross-pieces - the tires fit and hold in this case better.
The width of the shelf is 4 times the width of the tire, plus a reserve of 10-15 cm for some freedom. The height of the rear wall is slightly higher than the outer diameter of the wheel. The design is simple = side view resembles a rectangular triangle. Having, to weld such a shelf will not present any difficulty.
Shelf for tire storage - excellent homemade for the garage This is a factory option with a completely inhumane price tag. But you can borrow the idea - the crossarms can be rearranged depending on the size of the tires ... little whether the shelf for tires in the garage with a limited space. Sheen no - you can fold the shelf
Such shelves are usually hung on the wall. But the place should be chosen so that the rubber does not fall light - it spoils this. Not the most difficult homemade for the garage, but very useful.
Workplace
Probably, the largest number of homemade garages for the garage is associated with the workplace equipment and storage systems of the instrument. And - not the only way to solve this problem. First of all, it is necessary to decide where the workplace will be located. There are three options:
A table or a workbench for a garage is made of boards, plywood. Inexpensive, completely reliable. If there is a welding machine and reconciling skills, you can weld the frame from a corner or a profiled pipe. Again, it is better to coat with waterproof plywood. It turns out an even, abrasion-resistant surface. Of course, you can also use laminated chipboard, but the laminating layer is quickly damaged.
To place "not walking" you can set shelves under the countertop or draw boxes. Boxes are more convenient, but to do them - that's still a hassle. It is quite possible to make shelves and put them on pennies knocked down from plywood. Also suitable plastic boxes and baskets. But the walls should be thick.
There is, by the way, a useful idea - to make a storage rack for used tools from used cans. Find those with a pen on top. Further everything is simple - one of the sides is cut out and later this canister is used as a box.
It is not necessary to make a whole rack - it's still difficult to remember where that is. But on the same principle, you can make drawers for shelves. On the ends, by the way, you can paste inscriptions or pictures (with pictures, recognition is faster). Such homemade products for the garage bring satisfaction - to create a useful thing from garbage - a pleasant feeling.
Tool storage
The most difficult task is to organize the storage of the instrument in the garage. It is necessary to make sure that everything is in order, but, at the same time, it was at hand and in sight. And closed boxes are suitable only for very organized people who always put the thing in place. Otherwise, you will constantly rummage through the drawers, forgetting where everything lies. There are several ideas for convenient storage of small items and tools. This is a very simple homemade for the garage.
Quickly solve the problem will help conventional metal mesh. Suitable reinforcing mesh of wire 2 mm, cage 10 cm. Mount it on the wall, some twigs bite off, bend, make them hooks, crossbeams, etc. You can buy special hooks that are attached to the net (there are shops selling commercial equipment), and the usual two-way hooks that you can buy or make from wire.
Mesh on the wall - a way to quickly organize the storage of tools
Screwdrivers are conveniently stored on a special shelf. Take a board, veneer, 10-15 mm thick. The board must be well sanded - so that there is not a splinter. Then drill holes of different diameters in one or two rows in a plane. If the board is wide enough, you can make larger holes - for chisels or even for hammer handles. All chips are cleaned again. Now we need to come up with a wall mount. You can use a conventional bracket. Insert screwdrivers, chisels, other similar material into the holes. Convenient, fast, everything in sight.
Still there are useful homemade for the garage, which allow you to organize the storage of a hand tool. Pliers, pliers, pliers, etc. place is conveniently problematic. You can hang on the grid. It is convenient to shoot, to hang - no. But there is a simple solution - to attach a narrow board and on it to put on the tool. To make it convenient to "sit down", the board should be worn on one side. In the cut, it should look like an isosceles triangle.
Another simple idea for storing the battery tool, the charge and spare batteries to them. Make a shelf as in the photo above. At the bottom, cuts of different sizes are made, and the upper ones are used as ordinary shelves. The idea is that everything is in one place, quickly gets / set in place. These homemade for the garage will make the workplace comfortable. Maintaining order will be easy.
Car parking for cars
Even with very good lighting in the garage itself or day in the street, visibility is very low under the car's bottom. To illuminate the front of the work using portable lights - carry. This is the simplest homemade for the garage. With them, you can begin the epic arrangement and equipment of the garage space.
In the simplest version, it is a cartridge attached to a wire, a small screen with a hook can be attached to it. Such a simple thing. Light bulbs are used ordinary - incandescent or housekeeper under a standard cartridge. Everything is not bad, except that these bulbs fight very often, we need to find out how to hang them, so that they shine in a particular place. In general, the design needs to be refined. There are several options for rework.
Unbreakable lamp holder
This lampshade from a plastic bottle perfectly protects the fragile flask of an energy-saving lamp. You can also use an LED lamp, but the incandescence will not go - it gets too hot. The design is usual - a cord with a plug and a chuck on the end.
The main task is to find a plastic vessel with walls of semitransparent dairy plastic of medium thickness. Transparent will not work - it will not scatter light, too thin walls will not save from blows from the lamp. After finding the right vessel there is a small thing:
Everything is simple, but such a plafond allows you to brightly highlight exactly the right area, all the rest of the space is flooded with even light, not cutting eyes.
Carrying out of LED recessed luminaire
The simplest and most common gambling for a garage is a portable lamp. Without them, it is inconvenient to work not only in, but even simply on a workbench. You need a flat recessed LED light, which can be turned on in 220 V. These models are called "tablets" because of their shape. Still need a cord with a fork, a piece of plastic windowsill - to build a lamp. The piece of the window sill should be larger than the fixture in size. Specific sizes are selected by yourself. Further actions are:
Everything, homemade carrying is ready. This option is for installation on the floor. Movable leg allows you to change the angle. To make it turn over a little, inside the case (in its lower part) it is possible to fix a pair of loads.
Secure the cord from the carrying on the ceiling
The amenities are made up of small things, but in this very simple homemade for the garage. For example, you can remove the permanently tangled cable under your feet from the portable lamp. A carry-over is usually done with a cheap cable. He is not the most flexible, does not fit well, his turns on the floor fall under his feet. In general, it is inconvenient to use. You can secure yourself and carry it - hang the cable to the ceiling. The solution is simple, but very effective.
Here is a "suspension" to the ceiling for carrying can be done by hand for an hour
- Two anchors with a ring on the end.
- Screw for cable.
- Clamping yoke.
- A metal cable. The length depends on the size of the garage - it is necessary from one wall to another.
- Steel / plastic rings or steel wire and a piece of pipe to make these rings.
- Carrying with a long cable - its length is about double the length of the garage.
The cable stretches along the long side of the garage. Convenient - near the "working" wall, where there is a workbench or other equipment. Works a little:
Well, that's all. You can use. With this device, the carry can be extended to either end of the garage, while the cable does not get tangled or caught. Convenient, time requires little.
Compressor for garage by own hands
The compressor is needed in any garage. And, by the way, this is not the most difficult homemade for a garage. A low-power compressor for a garage for swapping tires and other small work can be done by hand from auxiliary materials. For example, from the compressor from the refrigerator. To do this, you will need:
- compressor from the refrigerator;
- sealed balloon with thick walls (you can use a flask from a fire extinguisher, a small gas cylinder);
- safety valve for 8 Atm;
- manometer;
- fitting;
- oxygen hoses with couplings (length is selected based on the size of your spare parts);
- the base for the compressor is a thick board, a piece of plywood.
In order not to pump any dirt on the tires, it is also desirable to put a filter - to separate the oils, dust and other contaminants. The scheme of the self-made compressor is presented in the photo.
The compressor must be equipped with a starting device. We put it into the network, look at which tube the air sucks in, mark it. On it it is possible to put the car filter - pure air will be pumped.
From the cylinder and the safety valve, we collect the receiver-oil separator. To do this, we insert two chutes into the cylinder - for the entry and exit of air. At the inlet we put a safety valve to it with the help of an oxygen hose we connect the outlet of the compressor.
At the outlet of the receiver-oil separator we put another oil filter in the car - to remove the oil finally. The filter is connected with a manometer, and from it there is already a hose, which through the appropriate adapter is connected to the bus.
The assembly is finished. But in order to carry this device it was convenient, everything had to be fixed in some way. You can weld the frame to the size, attach the wheels and the handle - for easy transportation. One of the variants of the compressor for pumping the wheels is described in the video. There is no receiver, but its function is an oil filter. You can do this, but with the receiver the design is more reliable.
Since the compressor in the refrigerator is low-power, it may take a long time to pump the wheels. You can make it more powerful by installing two compressors that will be started simultaneously. Accordingly, the pressure will be pumped twice as fast. But this installation requires a more solid security group. Such homemade products require a little more equipment, since the scheme is still more complicated.
When creating and almost any owner wants to do something with their own hands, whether it's a shelf for parts, a workbench, a gate, ventilation or heating. This is what we'll talk about in this article, namely how to create all these very garage things.
Lifting gates made with your own hands are much better and more effective than conventional gates on the doors.
After all, we all know how much trouble these flaps deliver in winter, when ice accumulates on them, and there is a lot of snow outside the gate. All this gives a lot of difficulties when leaving the car from the garage.
Therefore, such gambling in the garage, like the lifting gates on one leaf, will be very convenient. The gates are equipped with a special device, through which they rise. Great efforts at lifting do not have to, because the total weight of the gate is compensated by 2 cylindrical springs.
The work is carried out thanks to a system of levers with springs and rollers, which open on the guides. It is thanks to this system that the sash is lifted. At the same time, the compensating springs are facing outward, and the upper one is retracted (rolling along the guides).
Construction details: gate box, opening mechanism, folding lift. The assembly mechanism is easy and convenient.
The door box is assembled quite simply with the help of 2 vertical bars and 1 horizontal bar. Vertical bars have a length of 2300 mm and a section of 120x80 mm. The horizontal bars are 2750 mm long and have exactly the same cross-section. They connect with each other thanks to the corners and plates of metal. In the opening, the box is fixed with metal pins having a diameter of 10x200 mm. The bottom ends of the pillars of the box are deepened to 20 mm in the concrete base.
The leaf is made of a board board (which is sheathed from the outside with steel sheet), corners and frames with ribs. The shield is attached to the frame by means of furniture bolts with metal strips. The frame is made of rolled steel and has dimensions of 2500 × 2100 mm.
The mechanism of operation of the gate
When lifting, the upper part of the gate moves under the ceiling along the guide rails. The rails consist of corners of steel, having a length of 2100 mm and a size of 40 x 40 x 4 mm.
The fully manufactured rail is attached at one end to the steel plate for further attachment to the vertically arranged box posts. At a distance of 120-150 mm to the other end of the guides is attached a section of the channel. The guides must be placed horizontally. This is achieved by placing the washer between the beam and the channel.
Adjusting the lifting of the gate is due to the screw tension of the spring. It is important to ensure that the leaf is always in a fixed position. The gate is closed with special locks, which are located in the corners of the gate leaf. A handle is provided at the bottom and in the middle, which has a height of approximately 20 mm.
In addition to garage gates, garage furniture - it's also all sorts of shelves for storing tools. They can be either large, fixed in the far wall of the garage, or small, located on the sides of the room.
Shelves for garage by own hands
The most simple and elementary shelves can be made with the help of cables, which are sold in all kinds of hardware stores. They have high strength for hundreds and thousands of kilograms. Sold in a variety of sizes and diameters. Each regiment holds on 4 such cables.
The next detail, which is necessary in the manufacture of shelves, is a piece of metal or plastic tube. It is necessary to determine the distance between the shelves of the rack. They are fastened with special bushings with a locking bolt. The bolt is screwed into the threaded hole. As a result, the shelf rests on all 4 bushings (on each side).
Such shelves are very mobile and light, both in terms of weight, and in terms of changing the width. At any time you can change the width to the required. However, it is worth remembering that they require the presence of good and durable ceilings.
For those shelves that will be attached to the walls, you can use a wire with a thickness of about 4-6 mm, which is sold in any stores that sell metal in coils or on a cut. The width of the interstitial space is a peculiar "Christmas tree". Accordingly, to secure the shelves, you need two identical "Christmas trees". For one and the other side.
It is best to make these "Christmas trees" at the same time (for greater symmetry). As a template, you can use the shelf itself. If you create these herringbone suspenders with some margin, then in the future it is possible to remove or insert additional shelves. Mounting to the wall is carried out thanks to self-tapping screws, staples or wood grouses.
Perhaps, at first glance, the fragility of this design may seem, but this is not entirely true. In fact, they are very strong and stable. From this triangle can not change any of its elements. The angles and lengths of the sides are quite strong and, moreover, elastic.
Manufacturing of a workbench
In the garage, in addition to various works related to the car, many also produce locksmith, carpentry and other repair work. It is for this that a workbench with a vice is needed. Of course, it is much easier to use an industrial workbench, but a bench board is also used.
Dimensions of workbenches and verst boards can be completely different. The height should correspond and be convenient for the work done. The best height is considered when the worker makes it at the center of the palms of the lowered arm.
It's quite easy to make a workbench with your own hands. In this case, smooth boards having a thickness of 4-5 centimeters are used. Connect the boards to each other in width. The main components of the bench are considered a recess with a wedge, stop, holes with pegs.
A thrust is needed to hold materials in the works (planing). It is fixed with screws or nails at some distance from the edge in the left part of the table. It looks like a wooden bar about 10-12 centimeters wide, about 20 centimeters long and about 2 centimeters thick. At the bottom abut the boards with their butt ends when straining.
The recess is necessary in order to clamp the materials in an upright position. At the same time, all materials are secured by a wedge.
Holes with pegs serve as a necessary stop when planing planks, cross-cutting material and some other processes. At a certain distance from the rear edge, holes are drilled along the entire length of the workbench. The pegs inserted into them are fences, so it is important that they are of a small height. Ideally, for products of different heights you need to have different size pegs.
Directly the table of the bench is fixed on 4 legs, which are connected with each other by bars. After it is covered with drying oil to prevent drying out.
Room heater
Homemade self-made garments for the garage are not just all kinds of devices for equipment and repairs. It can also be appliances for heating and ventilation. Consider the example of garage equipment with a special stove, which is extremely necessary in the winter season.
It is known how often in winter it is necessary to warm up the transmission, and sometimes also antifreeze (in severe frosts). Significantly easier when using a special heater for heating, which consumes not so much fuel and at the same time maintains the engine temperature at the desired level.
The principle of operation of such a stove is based on the course of chemical processes. Heat is released not by fuel combustion, but due to the fact that on the surface of the heating element the fuel vapor is oxidized by air oxygen.
The stove circuit
Consists of a stove from a burner, a fuel tank, a cloth or an asbestos wick. A heating element is placed in the burner in the form of two metal grids and frames that are impregnated with a catalyst. The wick is supplied with fuel from the tank to the burner itself. The upper part of this wick opens under the net evenly, and the lower part must necessarily be on the bottom of the tank.
When fuel is poured into the tank, it must be ensured that it does not spill out into the outside. Fuel should only be inside for safety reasons. After filling the fuel tank must be thoroughly wiped with a dry rag.
The heater is started at a distance of 25 meters from the machine. It is fired according to the following principle. First, 50-100 ml of fuel is poured onto the mesh of the heating element. Then it is ignited with a match. After the flame goes out, the fuel tank is sucked from the tank to the heated surface. In the presence of a catalyst, they begin to oxidize under the action of oxygen. Gradually the temperature rises and flameless burning begins.
Often hot spots propagate gradually, with a corresponding increase in temperature. Flameless combustion does not immediately cover the entire working area of the burner. If you do not stop this process, then it will continue until all fuel is exhausted.
In order to make a heating element, long-fiber asbestos is used. Within one hour, it is impregnated with a catalyst from a solution of chloride platinum or cobalt-chrome solution. On 100 g of asbestos you need 1000 cubic centimeters of solution. The resulting mass is dried, teased and calcined. The result is a dark and friable asbestos mixture. It is evenly spread through the wire mesh. And on the burner with an approximate surface of 10 dm², the catalyst consumption is about 300 g.
Rules for using the heater
Do not allow oil, dirt or water to enter the work surface. Compliance with simple technology in the production of heating element and competent operation will ensure the operation of the device for many years.
