Unnecessary scrap metal, which usually accumulates in a workshop or garage, can be used with benefit - to create simple homemade products. So to speak, to turn waste into the right things.
For example, from an old metal file and a clamp from the machine you can make a convenient and practical clamp, which is useful in the workshop and garage - for example, when performing locksmith and carpentry work.
First of all, the master dismantles the clamp of the machine, leaving only the part of the body, which is with a handle and a clamping nickle. Then the part will need to be cleaned from rust with the help of angle grinders and a flap wheel (or other accessible method).
The main stages of work
Then the master cuts off a piece of the required length from the old file for metal, and welds a piece of steel bar to it at right angles.
However, the file is fragile, and with a lot of effort it can break. Therefore, it is better to replace it with a piece of metal strip.
At the next stage of work, it is necessary to drill holes in the round timber. And then the master connects the two parts together, and fixes them with screws of a suitable diameter.
Homemade tool for the workshop is ready! If desired, you can still paint it. Details on how to make a convenient clamp from scrap metal and an old file with your own hands can be found in the video on our website.
