Sometimes, with your own hands, with virtually no effort, you can make something very useful that is not even always sold in the store. This collection contains 4 great ideas that will definitely come in handy. Be sure to use these tips!
1. Engraver holder
If you don't have a sandpaper ring holder for your engraver, cut a small blank from the hot glue stick.
Drill it lengthwise and put a screw and washer on it.
Tighten it to the other side with a nut through the second washer.
Now you can put sandpaper on this holder. If you tighten the nut, the glue will expand and the sandpaper will stick.
2. Restoring threads with cotton wool and glue
It happens that the hole in wooden blanks is damaged, causing the self-tapping screw to not hold in it. In this case, press cotton wool into it and fill it with superglue.
After this, the screwed-in screw will not go anywhere.
3. Drill metal with a self-tapping screw
If you do not have a drill of a suitable diameter, you can use a metal screw. Clamp it directly into the drill chuck.
A new self-tapping screw will drill through almost any metal.
