When carrying out serious car repairs, as a rule, you can not do without a lift. A factory-made device is not cheap, and is not needed very often, so it may well be replaced with a home-made device.
Having made devices for tire fitting and balancing, you can independently perform these works, significantly saving money on car maintenance. In addition, such devices will come to the rescue if it is not possible to come to a specialized tire fitting.
In your garage workshop you can equip universal machine for tire fitting using improvised materials - metal pipes and a hub.
When doing various crafts for the home, it often becomes necessary to drill an even hole. It's hard to do conventional drill, but if you make a stand for a drill, such as the one shown in the photo, then drilling without distortions will be much easier. This design can be made from various materials. For example:
Using the diagram below, you can independently make a drilling machine from a drill.
Usage homemade press will allow in the garage workshop to produce products by pressing. Such a device can be made from hydraulic jack, fixed at the top of the frame, in turn, welded from improvised materials. The pressure in this case is directed downward.
Another version of a homemade press, the design of which involves mounting a jack at the base of the bed. In this case, the process of pressure is produced upwards.
With the help of a home-made press, you can straighten, bend sheets of metal, compress cardboard, fasten individual elements. The video below demonstrates how to make such a necessary device yourself.
The presence of order is the key to comfortable use of the workplace in the garage. Special organizers are designed to ensure this order in the workplace, allowing you to conveniently store and easily find the right tools. You can make such devices yourself, using improvised means.
Simple and accessible way keep hand tool, is a wall organizer made from cans attached to plywood sheet. In addition, several hooks or nails can be nailed to it in order to conveniently hang the measuring and electric tool. In the absence of cans, PVC pipes of various diameters, cut into pieces and screwed to a sheet of plywood or chipboard, can be used as holders.
Even easier to do special device to store screwdrivers. For this you need to take wooden block and drill holes in it right size. Fix the finished holder on the wall. On the same holder, you can organize a storage system for chisels and a chisel. It is enough to cut special holes in a wooden blank. In the same way, you can make a holder for power tools by sawing the appropriate holes in a wooden shelf.

D For the rational use of space, communications and do-it-yourself garage accessories from improvised materials are used. It is necessary to use the walls, the underground level in the process, place it indoors, organize normal lighting.
Homemade garage fixtures
For comfortable operation of the premises intended for storing cars, you should follow certain recommendations:
In 80% of cases, do-it-yourself garage fixtures are built to store accessories, tools, and car equipment. It should be noted that the most bulky parts of the car are sets of winter / summer tires, depending on the season.
It is more convenient to store wheels on brackets of the following design:
The main nuances of these structures are:
The width of the pit should allow the driver to drive into it without lighting.
In garages, parallel circuits are more often used. lighting fixtures. One lamp allows you to use a specific area, several devices are turned on during a major repair, a visit to the cellar. The minimum power consumption is provided. Daylight devices have a large resource.
Cars use poisonous, harmful fuels and lubricants, so do-it-yourself garage ventilation devices are becoming relevant, allowing you to create air exchange. The inflow is organized from below:
The hood is mounted under the ceiling of the cellar, the roof of the garage or has the form of air vents in the main walls at the highest points.

The simplest design is obtained from a car hydraulic jack. For pressing out / pressing in bearings, pressing / compressing 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 to give the frame stability.
The stop is pulled up in the normal position to the upper crossbar of the frame by powerful springs. A hydraulic jack is installed between them, as 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.
When carrying out repair, construction or plumbing work, it often becomes necessary to use certain tools. But what if there are none at hand, and there is no opportunity to purchase them? In this case, you can make homemade tools and fixtures. Usually they are mounted from materials accessible to all.
Some items are easily modified, improved, resulting in products best quality. So, worn out and unnecessary things acquire new characteristics with an extended service life.
homemade tool almost every craftsman has it. A well-made mechanism affects the result of the work carried out. So, in metal products with a cutting part, the sharpness of the blade becomes an important feature. It is important for saws, axes, chisels. In the process of work, their edges quickly lose their previous indicators, so such products have to be sharpened periodically.
Back to index
The sharpening process will be noticeably facilitated if you use homemade devices for this. They help to improve the quality of the actions taken. An important part of such a device is a clamp, which consists of clamping and support bars. These elements must be the same size.
For this you need to take:
Such devices are made from wood of any solid grades. Multilayer plywood is taken as an analogue. In the prepared parts, not far from the end part, cuts are made. The grooves should be the same - 50 × 9 mm. The support rail is connected to the base with card loops.
The length of the main part of this tool will be 10 cm longer, given that the length of the protrusions on each side corresponds to 5 cm. The device is fixed with clamps on the table top using these elements. To provide the mechanism with an inclination convenient for sharpening knives, you need to put a bar at the junction of the clamp and the base. It can be fixed with screws or nails.
One of the closely spaced faces of the bar is cut off, it is given the desired angle. To sharpen a hacksaw, you need to lay it in the space between the support and the slats with the teeth up and clamp it with bolts. The blade should be set in such a way that the saw tip protrudes 20 mm above the clamping part.
So, the main work on the manufacture of a sharpening tool has been completed. Could do some work to improve it appearance after that it is ready for use.
Owners of private houses and lovers of crafts dream of creating a carpentry home workshop. They buy interesting power tools and try to make their own carpentry tools. For these purposes, they use an electric drill, circular saw, jigsaw.
Experts advise beginners not to buy cheap instruments. You need to focus on the average price options. In addition to tools, it is necessary to provide shelves and cabinets for storing materials and various small things.
"Advanced" masters have good workbenches with a vice, rare machines and tools that are very necessary for the manufacture of furniture:
Every man has a power tool called a grinder. Actually this Grinder used for abrasive cutting of metal, stone, ceramic tiles and other materials. To do this, install a special abrasive disc with a thickness of 0.7 to 2.5 mm. Diameter cutting disc from 115 to 180 millimeters, it all depends on the hardness of the material being processed.
The peculiarity of this machine is the high speed of the electric motor, for example, the Whirlwind UShM-125 has 11 thousand revolutions per minute. It is this indicator and low weight, only 2.5 kilograms, that excites the minds of home craftsmen to adapt it to perform unusual types of metal-cutting work.
Homemade grinders are available in every garage and home workshop, moreover, each master makes a device for his own needs.
A home-made option for the workshop is proposed - a cutting machine suitable for cutting corners, pipes, square profiles, fittings. The design of the device is simple:
For this, a special protection is made, similar to the standard casing that comes with the tool. It has a slide, two handles and a rotary device. The slide looks like a plate measuring 200 x 120 millimeters, with a slot for the saw blade to exit.
The plate is attached on one side to the casing on a hinge, the other to a steel strip with a slot 9 mm wide for sliding along the M8x1.5 stud, which is on the casing for fixing with a wing nut.
Two handles are welded to the casing to hold the sawing machine during operation. Cutting and sawing lumber of small thickness is very convenient, and the high speed of the machine on the carpentry machine makes it easy to cut material up to 30 millimeters thick.
The bed can be made from pieces of a corner of 50x50 millimeters and steel sheet 5 mm thick. To do this, weld two corners along the edges of the sheet for the entire length, they will serve as legs. Table size 350 x 200 mm. Weld the bracket on top square pipe 80 mm high for rack mounting.
The stand or guide for the drill is made of a square pipe three millimeters thick. A piece is welded into the upper hole water pipe eight millimeters long. A cable tension mechanism is inserted into it. Stand height 700 mm. The rack is inserted into the bracket and crimped with four bolts - two each on two sides of the square pipe.
The carriage is a movable unit on which the drill is attached. It is made of 50x50 corners, welded together, height 170 millimeters, the eyes are made of a strip three millimeters thick. An axle is inserted into the eyes, on which the cable is wound.
A continuation of the axis is a handle that drives the carriage.
The carriage drive consists of an axis on which a cable and a handle are wound. One end of the cable is attached to the bottom bracket. The upper end of the cable is fixed in the pipe at the upper end of the rack. A special bracket is attached to the carriage with seat under the electric drill. The drill itself is tightened with a special clamp made of a strip 2 mm thick and 40 mm wide.
There are a lot of home-made designs of lathes for wood. They are united by the presence of four main nodes:
The difference is only in the choice of drive. Whoever has something from electromechanical devices is installed on the product:
You can improve the already made metal-cutting structure by adding additional functions to it. For example, you can place a drilling machine horizontally on a workbench or table. The drive is an electric drill. The tailstock will be a working table in which a hole is drilled along the axis of the drill in the chuck and a thread is cut to screw the fixed center.
Additionally, install the handbrake, fixing it on the movable bracket of the rack. The workpiece is fastened with one end in a trident clamped in a drill chuck, the other end in a fixed center. For a small number of simple parts - a completely good home-made woodworking machine with a fixture and equipment for the manufacture of figured parts obtained by turning.
The list of tools and mechanisms for a workshop or garage is limited only by the area of \u200b\u200bthe premises and the material capabilities of the owner. Despite the fact that many products are made from waste, the costs of purchased parts and the tool required for assembly are quite tangible.
Sometimes it is cheaper to get a service in a specialized workshop than to do this work yourself.

Each owner can independently choose the necessary equipment. And if you know technical features structures, then you can equip the room on your own.When arranging equipment, it is important to plan for a sufficient amount of space. It is better if the workshop is equipped in a separate room.
From functional arrangement home workshop depends on the quality of work and comfortable conditions labor
Before choosing a set of homemade machines, it is necessary to create optimal working conditions. In this case, the size of the room must be at least 6 square meters. m. You can attach an additional room to the garage or to the house.It is important to decide what types of work you will carry out, as well as draw up a list of equipment and necessary tools.
Storage of some types of tools is most conveniently organized on the wall. This will save space. It is also convenient to use racks and shelves.To save usable area, worth making universal fixtures that combine multiple functions. The table should be equipped drawers, and also use it as carpentry workbench.
When choosing homemade machines and fixtures for a home workshop, you can pick up mini equipment different types. For working with metals, the following options are used:
For wood processing, various homemade tools and do-it-yourself tools are used. The most commonly used types are cutting, turning and grinding. With their help, you can perform all kinds of work at home. The following equipment is used for wood processing:

It is worth noting the following options for storing tools:
Do-it-yourself shield shelf for a tool can be done like this:
Note! Functional shield shelves. Hooks or special holders can be attached to them. An additional lamp can be hung over a similar design. In this case, you can use a small light bulb.
Let's start learning useful tools for household with your own hands from the workbench. This useful unit comes in the following varieties: stationary, mobile and folding.
Remember that a do-it-yourself folding workbench drawing should contain the following details:
How to make a simple workbench, you can see in this video:
To make such a fixture, you will need drawings with the dimensions of a carpentry workbench.
In this photo you can see how the folding structure is made.
Consider how you can build such a device:
You can buy a wooden workbench or make your own. Additionally, the design can be equipped with drawers. So, consider the manufacturing technology:
You can easily do it at home. In this case, you will need an emery cloth of a sanding belt. Her sticker is carried out end-to-end. To strengthen the seam, it is necessary to put a dense material under the bottom. In this case, do not use low-quality glue.
The diameter of the belt roll should be a few mm wider at the center than at the edge. To prevent the tape from slipping, it is necessary to make a winding of thin rubber.For the manufacture of grinding devices, you can choose designs such as planetary, cylindrical and surface grinding.
For workbenches, do-it-yourself vices are often made at home. The video allows you to see this process:
To make such a design, special studs will be required.To work, you need a screw pin with a thread. You also need to prepare a couple of boards. One element will be fixed and the other will move. In the manufacture, it is imperative to use do-it-yourself vise drawings. In each of the boards, it is necessary to make holes for the studs, which are connected with nails. Then screws and nuts with washers are inserted into them. When designing a homemade vise with your own hands, you should use instructions and ready-made schemes.
Useful information! If you make the studs movable, then you can make workpieces of various sizes.
Frequent work with metals best solution will be the creation of a metal workbench with your own hands. Wood material is not suitable for such purposes, since during processing metal products will often be damaged.
It is worth noting the following elements of such a device:
To create high-quality seams, it is necessary to use a carbon dioxide semiautomatic device, as well as welding machine impulse type.
The assembly of the universal device begins with the frame. For this, long and short beams are welded. To prevent them from twisting together, follow these steps:
After that mounted rear beam and vertical posts. It is important to check how evenly they are located in relation to each other. If there are any deviations, then they can be bent with a hammer. When the frame is ready, special corners are attached to it to strengthen the structure. The table top is made from wooden planks, which are impregnated with a fire-resistant liquid. A steel sheet is laid on top.A shield made of is attached to the vertical rack-mount parts. The same material is used for sheathing cabinets.

A carbon dioxide semiautomatic device is used for welding the structure. | |
Creation of the structure frame. For welding, all parts must be laid out on a flat surface. The docking nodes of the beginning are simply tacked, and then all the seams are boiled. Rear racks and a beam are welded to the frame. | |
After welding all the stiffeners, such a frame is obtained. | |
Then a reinforcing corner is attached to the frame for fastening the table top. Before installation, the boards must be treated with a special fire-resistant compound. A sheet of metal is attached to the top. | |
The side walls are finished with plywood shields, and in the right pedestal are placed wooden boxes. To protect the base, the surfaces are covered with different paintwork materials. First, the primer is distributed, and then a special enamel is used. |
To make a sharpener from an engine with your own hands, you can take parts from old Soviet appliances. To build a grinding machine you will need the following parts:
The flange section must match the dimensions of the bushing. A grindstone will also be put on this element. A special thread will also be made on this part. In this case, the flange is pressed onto the motor shaft. Fastening is carried out by welding or bolting.
The working winding is fixed to the cable. At the same time, it has a resistance of 12 ohms, which can be calculated using a multimeter. A bed is also made, for which a metal corner is taken.
You can make a simple metal drill sharpening machine from ordinary fixtures. For this, an abrasive block is suitable.
At home, you can use the following equipment:
It should be borne in mind that the angle grinder is mounted on a flat surface. In this case, the disk should be located downwards. If the grinder is not fixed securely, it can damage the drill. Sharpening with a grinder is possible only for products with a small diameter. With the help of a grinding device, it is impossible to do fine-tuning. For stand cutting tool shield edge is used.
You can also use the nozzle of a drill, which should be equipped with a grinding disc with sandpaper. To grind the elements with a drill, you need to find two flat surfaces.
You can make a drill fixture from a drill with your own hands. The drawings will help you understand the design. For such a design, you will need the following elements:
Here are the main steps in the manufacture of a homemade drilling machine with your own hands:
To make a drilling machine, you need a rotary tool feed mechanism. Springs and a lever are used for the design. There are various devices for sharpening drills.
Also, the design will require the manufacture of home-made vise for a drilling machine. The simplest device can be assembled from a drill, without a steering rack. To minimize vibration processes, it is necessary to build a more massive table. The rack and table are connected at right angles. In this case, the drill can be attached using clamps. A vise is mounted on the table surface.
The design is intended for straightening, pressing, bending sheet materials and for compression. Locksmith devices are characterized by a compact and simple design. Efforts from such a press can vary between 5-100 tons. For garage work, an indicator of 10-20 tons is enough.To make such a design, a manual drive is used. hydraulic device contains two chambers with pistons.
How to make a simple device can be viewed at special video do-it-yourself press from a jack:
A simple option is hydraulic, which can be constructed from a bottle jack.An important element is the bed, inside which the jack is placed. The platform is used as a reliable base. The upper surface is used to support the workpieces. The table should move freely up and down the frame.In this case, rigid springs are attached to the base on one side, and to the working surface on the other.
Here simple circuit assemblies:
They will help to make the design of a cutting machine for metal with their own hands - drawings. From disk cutting machines, devices are made from a special frame or platform. The machine is equipped with elements that provide a strong fixation. A steel disc is used as cutting parts. To cut metal, a wheel coated in the form of an abrasive material is used.
The cutting parts are driven by an electric motor. Disc machines are equipped with pendulum, front and bottom components.
You can also watch in the video below how to make a cutting machine from a grinder with your own hands:
The machine works like this:
