HOW TO MAKE A GARDEN BENCH

The bench is made from planks and its dimensions can vary.

First, two sidewalls are made same sizes, the width of which should not be less than 20 cm. The height is selected as necessary. Then a fastening rectangle is prepared, which is fastened with nails or screws. Then they nail the lid, which is made 5-10 cm longer than the frame and 3-5 cm wider. The nails are nailed so that the lid connects all parts of the frame.

RACK FOR COUNTRY TOOLS

I suggest making a pencil stand. It will be possible to put all the tools in it.

Dimensions - according to your wishes. The base is determined by the edges; you can paint it any color you like. Furniture varnish is suitable for covering the counter. The stand can hold the bags upright.

At a distance equal to the width of the bag, hoops are attached to the stand, to which the bags can be attached using clothespins, ties or elastic bands.

LEAVE WATER IN BARRELS FOR THE WINTER

My advice to those who prefer to leave water in barrels for the winter.

WARM FRAME FOR TOILET

Not everyone has a toilet in the house, but the frame I propose will, I think, be useful to everyone who has “convenience on the street”: it does not “get cold” and does not become covered with frost.

It's easy to make: take 10 mm thick pressed plywood and cut the frame to the size you need. Then, using PVA glue, glue foam plastic 40 mm or 20 mm thick in two layers onto this frame. This frame can be placed on a toilet seat or bucket.

BIRD FEEDER

INTERESTING WATERING SYSTEM

Not everyone likes to lug around with buckets.

I would like to offer readers home smokehouse. For the smokehouse you will need: an old pan with a wide bottom, a lid from it, a ceramic electric stove with a spiral, with a fork and cord, steel wire for skewers. And if you have ready-made skewers, those will do too.

IN aluminum pan Just above the bottom you need to make a hole for the wire. The hole should be large enough to allow the wire to pass through it freely. Using a hacksaw, you need to make 10 vertical cuts - 5 on each side - on the walls of the pan up to half the height of the pan.

File all burrs and sharp edges.

IMPORTANT!

The width of the cuts should be such that the skewers can be easily inserted and removed.

Then you need to thread the wire inside the pan, attach it to the contacts of the ceramic tile and insulate it. Ceramic tiles should lie freely on the bottom of the pan, and the wire should be of sufficient length so that the entire heating element It was easy to take it out, clean it of sawdust and put it back in the pan.

From steel wire make skewers larger diameter pans so they don't fall inside. You will also need sawdust. They will be coals. Birch or hawthorn are suitable. But pine and spruce are not suitable - they are too resinous.

In a real powerful smokehouse, raw products are cooked, and they are smoked for quite a long time. And in our smokehouse we do not smoke, but bring it to a smoked state, and the process lasts 20-25 minutes. During this time, the smoke manages to saturate the product sufficiently. At the same time there will be a unique smell and specific taste.

The spiral will become hot, and the sawdust will not burn, but will smolder, actively releasing smoke, which will come out through the slits, and therefore the pan should be placed in the garden. Sausage, cheese, sausages are suitable for smoking.

After finishing smoking, turn off the stove (let the coil cool) and remove it from the pan (this is where a long cord comes in handy), shake out the processed sawdust. That's it, the smokehouse is ready for use again!

G. S. Yakovleva, Perm

FOR EXAMPLE

Take 200-300 g of pork, cut into 6-10 pieces and fry in a frying pan in the usual way with spices and salt. Then we put the pieces of meat on skewers, pour a handful of sawdust onto the surface of the tile, insert the skewers into the slots, close the pan with a lid and plug in the cord.

DIY METAL SHAVINGS COLLECTOR

It often happens that after drilling metal, for example with a drill in the country, even after cleaning, tiny particles of metal shavings remain.

They are dangerous because they can unexpectedly pierce the skin at any moment. I offer a simple device for clean cleaning of steel shavings, including the smallest dust.

Take a cardboard box for milk, kefir, 1 liter or 0.5 liter. Cut out two sides as well as two holes as shown. Inside the box, place a magnet, for example from an old speaker, with a string tied to it (household magnets secured into a briquette with tape or tied together will also work).

Take the box with the magnet by the upper ears and move it closely over those places where there are or could be chips, even if they are not immediately visible.
