The tricks of the masters and their secret devices that everyone needs to know (note)
The person has a rich imagination. If we find ourselves in a difficult situation, then this does not stop us. We always find a solution. There are a lot of interesting tips for the DIYer. Today I have collected a few more original tricks of the masters that will save you money, time and nerves.
1. How to connect two bars exactly
We will be "splicing" the pieces of wood. Still, we need nails, but not as fasteners, but as auxiliary elements.
Prepare 2 nails. Necessarily blue duct tape (joke, any will do). You need to put nails on one block so that the caps are in the places where the fastening is planned.
Now you need to secure the nails with electrical tape so that they hold in this position. We put on the second block and press down so that the heads of the nails are squeezed out on the 2 bars of the notch.
These will be our marks. We remove the nails and drill holes for wooden chopiks.
Then we coat with glue and insert chopiki into the holes. We get a strong and reliable connection without nails.
2. New application of masking tape
It is simply irreplaceable in the repair. Take it back on the hike. Roll balls when you need to make a fire.
This will be a great ignition. Paper tape burns well and does not fade in the wind.
3. Clamps
I prefer not to buy unnecessary tools that I can do without. I use plastic ties instead of clamps.
They shrink perfectly and can be used several times. After gluing, you can easily remove the screeds without cutting them. Just pry on the "tongue" and pull out the end of the clamp.
4. Pencil behind the ear
I remember how I was looking for a pencil for half a day, and it turned out to be behind my ear. Then he came up with an interesting solution so that the pencil was always at hand, never lost or dropped out.
Prepare a wooden clothespin. Take it apart in two. We need a metal spring part. Scratch the pencil with a knife in 2 places where the pencil will come into contact with the spring.
Then put the pencil on the clothespin and fasten it on the clothes.
Now you can carry it with you everywhere and it won't go anywhere.
5. Repair template
From wooden skewers and a piece of cardboard, you can make a template for curved surfaces. We need corrugated cardboard. We insert the skewers into the holes and use.
