You can make many tools yourself instead of buying them. And you don’t need to work hard for this. Dozens of useful devices can be easily assembled on your knees in just 5 minutes, and then serve no worse than factory ones.
1. Wood cutter made from a self-tapping screw
To make a miniature cutter, take a self-tapping screw and saw off its head. Then grind it down at an angle, forming a descent.
Using an engraver with a small cutter or round file, select the metal inside, forming a blade. After this, heat the screw until red hot and cool it in oil. After hardening, it can be threaded into the handle. That's it, the cutter is ready for use.
2. Velcro attachment for engraver
You can make such an attachment by drilling out an attachment with Velcro for an angle grinder using a crown. The resulting disk is drilled in the center, after which we tighten the screw on it.
This way we get a shank for installation in the engraver. Now all that remains is to glue the sandpaper onto the Velcro.
3. Cool knife sharpener
Take a block and drill two holes in it for the shanks of the grinding attachments for the engraver.We insert one cylindrical and the second conical abrasive so that they fit closely.
Now, by moving the knife blade between them, we can sharpen it.
4. Drill stop for drill
Take the blind rivet and remove its shank.
Instead, a thin drill was used. Now we set its output to the required drilling depth, and crimp the rivet so that it holds securely.
In the future, the drill will only drill up to the stop.

5. Refinement of sandpaper
When grinding with sandpaper to a fracture, its base breaks. To prevent this from happening, stick reinforced tape on its back.
6. Original door handle
To make a handle, take a piece of a threaded rod and use two nuts to tighten a bolt with a ring at its end. Then place a tube or hose onto the threads of the stud. After this, similarly fasten the bolt with the ring on the other side.
This handle is installed on the door using four nuts. It turns out very original and practical.

7. Mini screwdriver
A small screwdriver can be machined from any steel bar. Ideally, it should be thicker in the handle area.
8. File from hacksaw blades
Take 5 hacksaw blades, put them together and drill in two places closer to the center.
Then connect them with two screws through these holes. Be sure to place nuts between the blades. Then tighten one edge through the standard holes simply with a screw.
We screw a tube to the other end, which will serve as a handle. The result is a file that quickly removes both metal and wood.
