The easiest way to make a bolt or a wing nut
Probably, many domestic masters faced with a problem when you want some little thing, it is usually not in the studio. Recently I needed a bolt of the wing and of course he was not at hand. Today I'll show you the easiest way, how to make a bolt or a wing nut at home.
Just answer the main question: "Why do they do most, if much easier to buy this little thing in the store?". I thought so too, but none of the three nearest hardware stores was not for sale, sheep bolts. For my area, this turned out to be a scarce commodity, and to order online a couple of pieces is pointless, because the shipping cost more than the price fastener.
Fortunately the usual nuts and bolts always have on offer, so, without hesitation, I decided to make them himself. And so, to make a bolt or a nut-lamb we need: a bolt or nut and glue gun. If you have no-glue gun, then at the end of this article I will tell you how you can do everything without him.
Yet we need some kind of metal shaper. For this purpose, perfect bearing or combination spanner. You can also use tin cut from her metal strip, from which you can make almost any shape. I will use the combination spanner 22. Its shape is just right for me.
In the first place we put the form on a flat metal surface. With metal then it will be easier to tear our home-made. For example, I put it under the form of a conventional metal cover. Then place it in the center of the bolt form the desired diameter and length.
And finger holding bolt completely fill the form of molten resin via the glue-gun.
After the resin is filled, give it time to dry for 5 - 10 minutes (the resin dries, it will become white). Then remove the form and break away from the cover is almost ready to bolt the wing. If a tear does not work, carefully cut it with a knife.
In the end it is necessary to cut the excess resin and remove all irregularities. You can do this by using stationery knife and sandpaper.
That's all the bolt-lamb ready! Personally, I liked the result. Thus it is possible to make the wing bolts of different shapes and sizes at home. The process of making the nut a wing similar, except that instead of the bolt nut put into shape. It would be the best extended nut, but you can use ordinary.
The whole procedure can be repeated and no-glue gun. Instead of it we take the usual plastic (cap, bottle, pipe cutters, and so on. D.), Melting it and fill in the form.
