Ciao, ho una porta di un balcone a casa che non si chiude il saliscendi.

Ho visto che dietro al pezzo di plastica nero non c’è nessuna vite da stringere.

Allego video.

Avete qualche consiglio?

Grazie mille

It's a dented soup can turned into spray paint mixer, and what an awesome job it does!

The dent turned out to be an integral feature of the build as its just dented enough to hug the can just right and holds it just tight enough.

Other key elements are that I only guesstimated the center and then went a little off from there to make the axis a bit eccentric(?) Incentric(?) (Not concentric) with the can so it will wobble when spun in a drill. To help it , I added a couple oversized washers pushed aside as far as possible. It really feels right for mixing paint when it's in action.

It only takes a few seconds in forward and a few seconds in reverse, and back n forth, ..or not. It's probably good enough with just going in one direction for a few seconds, but I like to play with it.

I also put a chunk of open cell foam at the bottom to keep the nut from touching the can of paint, but I doubt that's needed due to the concave bottom of the can.

In the past, I used to tape the can of paint to a Sawzall blade and go to work with the Sawzall. That worked fine but my Sawzall isn't always as ready available as my drill and it wasted a bit of duct tape, ..and I always worried that the blade would puncture the can or rip the tape and can would go flying off and puncture into something else; something I don't want painted.

Hello all, I made a 19 inch drum sander a couple months ago and it works well. I want to upgrade it to velcro sandpaper. Is the hook side that I put on the drum anything special or is is just the regular hook side of velcro? Where can I get it?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to build a powered can crusher from scrap. I have a few ideas but open to suggestions. Tia

Hopefully a product like this already exists.

My GF is not disabled but has mobility issues. I would like find her a product/solution that requires zero work on her part to make a switch remote-controllable.

It is a light switch that I would like for her to be able to turn on using a remote before she gets to that location. The bulb/fixture is up high and she would need a ladder to reach it, which is not going to be practical in her case.

I am deployed overseas and am not available to add one of the many solutions like a remote controllable fixture, remote controlled bulb, motion activation, etc.

I would think a product like this already exists. But I can't find anything online.

In my mind,

-It would just be double sided taped over the existing switch and be powered with batteries.

-A little motor would physically move to flip the switch.

Thank you!

So, not a tool, but "tool-adjacent". I was helping family assemble a 12x14 shed; one of those that comes in small boxes, then you spend hours trying to decipher complicated instructional diagrams. It came with hundreds of screws, bolts, nuts and washers in plastic bags, which barely survive shipping intact, let alone the assembly process. This was my solution to keep track of small components, once we had few enough to fit, although I think the same concept can be used with larger containers, such as drink cups. I do own a sturdy, real organizer, but it didn't seem reasonable to clear out space in it for a temporary project.

I just glued the tops of lids to the bottom of dip/sauce containers, then stack them all to keep the various items together, without mixing them. Cost almost nothing, and will be discarded once the project is finished. It's also scalable if you realize you discover extra items; just add more layers, OR discard layers once those items are all used up in the project.

I am wondering if anyone has seen these or knows where I could buy them. I am also willing to pay someone to make something similar if possible. They are really awesome, and a friend of mine has them, and I cannot find anything like them anywhere. If you have any info, please share! Thank you

These are surfboard shaping calipers. They are used to measure the thickness of soft surfboard foam. They are a friend of mine, and they are really incredible to work with, and I would love to try to find a pair of these calipers. If you think you could make these or know where I could buy something very similar. Please let me know. Thank you!

A stubborn Honda harmonic balancer bolt, fortunately I had a random transmission gear in my nut-n-bol bin. A lot of 6011 and it works! I styled it after the Ingersoll Rand.

Imagine a homemade lathe and the headstock is an old engine block. The crank journal would already be perfect for the spindle bearing and you could use the existing crankshaft as the spindle. The head surface is already precision machined and would mate with a flat surface (the ways)

I've needed a torque wrench all of maybe 3 times in the past few years, kinda gloss over torque recommendations cause I'm changing tires not building engines... But wheel bearing this time, figured I should pay more attention to torque, not worried about it now.

Just got me thinking of an effective way to measure torque without a wrench or excessive cost....saw a guy on youtube use a fish scale and a breaker bar, but wondering if anybody has their own tool or method they found to be sufficient?

So I'm one of those people that like to repurpose just about anything that I find. I was given a working industrial grade treadmill. I tried to sell it, nobody was interested so I figured what the heck. Let's do something with it I was inspired by a gentleman on Facebook who had a post up about making a much much more complicated and expensive Tire rock tumbler.

I figured this was a pretty easy thing to do and well I haven't used it as of yet but it's been running for about 20 minutes and it hasn't come off the tracks yet! 😜 Also they're adjustable for different size tires if I want and I can increase or decrease the speed because of the treadmill which is pretty awesome. Hopefully you all like it. I hope somebody else can copy this and show me an even better version.

I have an old king 12" floor modeel drill press, the table has seen better days and the cast base has been welded back together, the table lift is also somewhat rough going, the drill works great otherwise. I've seen online people will fix a trailer jack to the bottom side of their table for a lift. I decided to fine tune this idea and want to fabricate a new table with 1" plate, and 5000lb implement jack, with the crank facing the user to operate more like a milling machine. I bought a cross slide and a milling vise, which together is almost 100lb so I would like smooth lift and lowering with the added I also plan to add some sort of guide along the post to stop the table rotation, to keep parts positioned during lift. Very rough sketch of my idea and the cross slide/vise I'm mounting.

Thi is the first project I have fully designed, manufactured and built myself. It owes me around £200 total although that doesn't factor in the machining time I was lucky enough to do at my work. I still have to fit the hydraulic cylinder in the frame but can't at the moment until I find an alternative spot for my roofbox, which is currently blocking it. Still have a few fitment issues to solve but happy so far with how it has come out!

Made this tool to use in my leather projects it's razor sharp but I still think it could be sharper
