Making knobs for screwdrivers with your own hands. Useful little things that can be made from golf balls. Primitive nail screwdriver

Hello to all inventors! In today's project, we will produce nippers from PVC pipes, an enhanced screwdriver handle and universal knife in the form of a key fob.

When heating PVC, make sure that you perform this operation outdoor or dress the respirator.

Video of this project can be seen from the following footnote.

Step 1: PVC Pipe Tongs

I marked one side of PVC camouflage ribbon and then heated this side by an industrial hairdryer.
Then I straightened the heated side using a tree bar.
Next I did the same with the other side PVC pipe.

Subsequently, I guessed that this process It is possible to facilitate if you heat the entire pipe at the same time and then straighten it, instead of doing this for each side separately.

Step 2: PVC Pipe Tongs

I gotten the middle part and hung it around another PVC pipe.

Step 3: PVC Pipe Tongs

Step 4: PVC Pipe Tongs

I hit the ends until the plastic began to melt and squeezed the pipe with the help of the clamp.

After that, I performed Okurization.

Step 5: PVC Pipe Tongs

So we got plastic tongs.
I will use them for filing ice cubes.

This is a piece of plastic, so do not use it for hot products.

Step 6: Improved Handle for Screwdriver

Did you have experience in making such an item?
If you use a screwdriver for a long period of time, you often appear corn in the center of the palm.
Therefore, I decided to upgrade my old screwdrivers using PVC pipes.

Screwdriver number 1.
I had a short PVC pipe and pulled a screwdriver on the handle.
Next, I heated the other end of the tube and put it as a cap.
Heating is performed in order to reduce the tip so that the cap freely rotates.

The tube is removable, so if necessary, you can pull PVC and lengthen the handle (if this is what you want to do).
The cap will rotate and will not give the corners to form on your palm.

Step 7: Improved Handle for Screwdriver

Screwdriver number 2.
I gotten the T-shaped tee and pulled on the handle.
If necessary, you can connect the T-shaped tee to ensure the best pickup.

Step 8: Universal knife in the form of a key fob

I had a short PVC pipe and squeezed with a clip.
Next, I inserted the blade and squeezed the clamp even stronger.

Step 9: Universal knife in the form of a key fob

I cut out two separate billets made of plastic plate for beads and glued to clamp sponges.

Step 10: Universal knife in the form of a key chain

I used the clamp to create a pattern pattern in the form of points.

Step 11: Universal knife in the form of a key fob

With repeated heating of PVC pipes, it will take its original form.
That's why I took advantage of the candle, because it is more convenient to control this process with the help of it.

I heated both sides of the pipe and closed them with the help of the clamp.
One of the ends was closed with a knife blade inside.

Step 12: Universal knife in the form of a key fob

I put forward a knife blade and made a cover with a larger PVC pipe.

Step 13: Universal knife in the form of a key fob

I drilled a hole in the lid and performed the final grinding.

Step 14: Universal knife in the form of a key fob

Now your universal knife in the form of a key fob is completely ready.

The blade of the knife is held in place due to the pressed pressure of your fingers.
Excellent knife for opening parcels and many other tasks.

The knife is very sharp, so be careful.

If you accidentally fall into an accident, and your seat belt is confused, then certainly, use the data universal knife.

This wizard always makes the handles for the files with their own hands. But, then why are the files for sale without a handle? I bought a three file on the market and decided to make the handles on my own old juggling screwdrivers. I have a lot of such good ... I rummaged in my workshop and found three things. Friends, do not throw old screwdrivers, they will come to you.

We will need a plastic handle from a screwdriver, a gun with a thermoclaster and ten minutes of free time. Fill the handle with hot thermoclaim.

So that the file is good priced, warm the shank file construction phenomenon At maximum speed within two minutes.

Insert a file into the handle, if necessary, make the thermoclay. Then wait when the glue will freeze.

That's all! It turned out a file with a plastic handle made from old screwdriver. The handle glued very firmly to the file.

In this way, I glued two more handles to the files. As a result, I got three file with plastic handles made of old screwdrivers with your own hands.

Friends, I wish you good luck and good mood! See you in new articles!

For several years I have tried to buy a curved screwdriver to work in a narrow space (I have such places and on the body, and in a closet with rigidly fixed shelves), but somehow my visit to the construction markets and shops did not coincide with the availability of such screwdrivers for hard to reach places. The idea came to make it myself, creating a curved handle for replaceable tips from the simplest mass of cold porcelain.

Necessary materials:

  1. Starch. I used potato, but the corn.
  2. PVA glue with plasticizers. I used the brand with the inscription "Ideal for parquet and laminate." But other brands of PVA are suitable if there are plasticizers in their composition, they are necessary to obtain a well-molded mass.
  3. Oil "Johnson" s Baby "or Vaseline oil to lubricate hands and working surface.
  4. Replaceable tips for screwdriver. Please note that they should remain in the handle until a complete durability set, this is at least 2 weeks.

I used tips from the surprisingly durable student set, below it in the photo.

How to make a curved knob for screwdriver

Stage 1. Slaving plastic mass

We put in a shallow capacity (I have a plastic jar from under the mustard) approximately equal amounts of glue and starch.

Mix the components. I did it to the toothpick. It turns out such a commercial mass, as in the photo.

We carry the mass on the oil-lubricated table or the working surface (oilcloth, plastic bag, etc.) and wash it, pre-abundantly groaning hands with the same oil.

At this stage, you can add glue or starch if it seems to you that one of the components is not enough. Ready weight should turn out enough plastic, while keeping the form well.

Stage 2. Forming a handle

Manually damp the M-shaped blank for the handle, in which one side is shorter than another that the finished screwdriver approached for all complex cases Fasteners location. I have a cross section of a square, as I was afraid that round form It will not hold on with drying and deformed. Lubricated with a plastic or metal line or a blade of a knife can be corrected, although, as you can see, the perfect handle still did not work.

Stage 3. Formation of notches and holes for tips

The back side of the building knife blade caused longitudinal strips, so that the screwdriver does not slide when working in the hand. Shells made knobs from all sides. For the formation of the holes, the tips on both sides of the handle just crushed. Pre-abundantly lubricate oil tips. The photo shows the grooves immediately after molding, but it is only for the demonstration, and in general the tips should remain in the handle to complete drying, as the mass will be tightly closed around, and the diameter of the original opening decreases.

Stage 4. Drying Handle

Put the handle away and forget the minimum for a couple of weeks, as it seemed to me to change its condition. Massa when drying becomes more transparent. I took a few more tips, lubricated them with oil and again pasted in the grooves. By the end of the drying, get the tips from the handle could only with the help of the passage. For reinsurance, half a month did not use a screwdriver. TOTAL Handle Serebed a month.

This is what my finished screwdriver looks like for hard-to-reach places. Already tested on the bed housing, and to twist multiple self-sneakers in. So far there are no signs that the handle is continuous, no. Finally, the problem with a curved screwdriver is closed. So my handle looks like for removable tips after testing.

Additional comments:

1. After the manufacture of the handle, the thought appeared that for greater strength it is possible to insert a rigid wire inside the curved part.

2. Use the resulting mass is possible not only for the curved handle, but also for the restoration of the broken handle for a conventional screwdriver.

3. In this mass you can add a small amount acrylic paintIf you want to make a color handle.

4. Do not use replaceable tips. If you want to firmly connect a tip with a screwdriver for hard-to-reach places, then in front of the pressure in the handle, lubricate it with non-oil, but glue.

The basis for homemade will be a golf ball. And things will turn out not just necessary and practical, but also stylish. All Details S. step by step instructions And the photo is attached.

Master class number 3: Furniture handles do it yourself from golf balls

Golf balls can be stylish details in the room. For this we will turn them into furniture handles.

In this short video tutorial, the Serega Otvertka blogger told how to make a screwdriver from simple nail. For the manufacture of this simple but required tool, with your own hands you will need a small wooden barber and a nail for 150 millimeters. Broza length is approximately 10 centimeters.
On the sides, wooden blanks need to make markers for which the rounding will be made. Rear measure 1 centimeter and 1.5 centimeters in front.

From the back, you need to round the edges well using a file, on the other hand to make a hollow. For convenient retention in the hands it will be necessary using the chisel to make small recesses, as is usually done on factory screwdrivers.

When the workpiece is ready, you need to do a nail. It needs to cut off the hat and one end to flatten. This can be done with a hammer and anvil. In the handle, you need to drill the hole, insert a nail there and fasten with epoxy resin.

As convenient to use vice. Heat the nail and cut the hammer, giving the necessary form. Naturally, all this will need to be treated with a metal file. That is, you need to align the edges and make a small tip of the sting.

A sting from the nail to be treated with sandpaper and harden in. The sting heats up hot and descends into cold sunflower or machine oil. As a result, hardening with a small blue tide. After drilled a hole in a wooden handle, we insert inside the sting at a depth of about 5 centimeters. The side of the nail that will be inserted into the woods, you need to wind up the bandage, wrap epoxy resin And pinch into the handle.

After the epocide dried, clean everything with a sandpaper with zero and cover the handle with colorless varnish. Before that, you can make a small decorative roast of the handle.

The screwdriver made perfectly with his tasks. Benefits this method In that you can make screwdrivers desired size, the desired configuration, you can vary the length of the handle and sting. And, most importantly, it is creativity!

Primitive nail screwdriver

If there is no money and time to run into the store behind a screwdriver, but there is a nail, then this the simplest methodwhich is shown in one photo will help any homemade Masters or engineer large enterprise. Make such a zagulin, after steering the end of the carnation. And if you wish, you can harden it on gas and oil.
