The used plastic canisters from under different liquids always find a new application in the economy. The most popular method of re-operation is like a watering capacity for watering or as a material for cutting boxes for various little things. However, advanced masters came up with more interesting ideas for use. In review Novate.ru, three functional crafts that will bring practical benefits and will not require high time and means for making.
1. Portable Case Organizer for Small Meld
From a 10-20 liter can be made a nice caisis for storing various small items. It can be children's toys at the cottage, small tools in the garage, fasteners in the workshop, equipment for fishing and much more - the exercise is universal and its use is limited only by the size of the original capacity.
For the manufacturer of the organizer, you will need two canisters of the same size. The front of one of the tanks is cut off, leaving the rectangular opening - it will be a craft case. The second canister is placed with smooth lines and cut into several parts - they will serve aside inner tanks. From plywood or chipboard cut out blanks for the bottom of the boxes, as well as the shelves (they will replace supporting rails).
Now proceed to assembling the elements of the locker. Billets for the bottom are combined with plastic sides and fasten with self-drawers, and then to the front part of the boxes fasten the bracket or some other item, which will serve as a handle. For more convenient storage, the inner space of the drawer can be divided into compartments by binding the partition.
The shelves are inserted into the corps of the crafts and screw the fasteners to the walls. Then the boxes are rushing inward - and everything, a homemade locker, ready. As we see, it is easy to make it, but it turns out a practical capacity for storing various trifles with a comfortable carrying handle. If desired, the cracker can be painted to give a more cute appearance. And if there is a lot of unnecessary canisters, you can not make the drawers, cutting out the bottom of the plywood, but simply cut off the lower part of the products.
2. Carrying-extension
Without the extension, it is not necessary to do without extension, but to transport the bay and constantly turning-turning the cable on the site is inconvenient. With regular use of the extension, it will be useful to protect the cable and simplify the winding, making a portable coil with a plastic canister housing. Crafts are not complicated, but it will be very useful in the farm.
For a start on the sides of the plastic container, two large holes of this diameter are cut in the center of two opposite sides, so that the segment of the sewage PVC pipe is passed there. In the lid, the canisters are drilled by a hole under the conductor wire. Then the axis of the coil from the segment of the sewage PVC pipe is prepared: the drill in the center hole is more - under the wire and on the sides are two smaller - under the fasteners. Through the hole in the lid in the canister, the end of the extension can be raised, passed it through the pipe and remove the outward through one of the ends. Through the axis also passes another one - a separate segment of the cable.
In the front of the pipe where the holes are drilled, two long screws are screwed and the coil handle is attached to them. From the same end collect a socket, connecting both wires. On the other hand, the axis mount the switch and cartridge for the light bulb. (Recall that when installing electrical devices, it is necessary to observe PUE). Of course, it is possible to make it easier and cost only the extension cord, but such a handicraft, with the addition of a light source, much more functional. You can not just deploy an extension cord, stretching to the remote job, but also to highlight for a better review in conditions of poor illumination, for example, at dusk.
Useful advice from novate.ru: Before proceeding with the craft, plastic cans need not only to clean well from the content, but also to degrease. Also, when working, all places of the cut, it is desirable to carefully polish, processing sandpaper. This will make the craft safe in use, since all the irregularities will be smoothed and will not be risk of accidentally injury. In addition, the processed elements will be easier to docile when assembling.
3. Thermokey
Plastic canisters are pretty durable - it is a practically ready-made frame for various suitcases, such as thermosum. Such cases will always be suitable at least in the country, even though to leave for picnics. The cauldron is made quickly and financially absolutely not costly. It will take only heat-insulating material and some fittings.
To begin with, there are marking on the canister: outline the cut line for the lid and outlines the points under the drill to fasten the loops and the lock. Then the upper part of the tank is completely cut off.
From the sheet of plywood, two blanks on the contours of the separated part of the canister and a circle with a diameter of a little more than the neck. This circle is glued to the inner end of the neck and after screwing the cover, a slight recess is formed, in which you can hide, for example, a lighter or keys. The bottom, the cover and walls of the case from the inside are covered with sheets of foam. Next, with the help of loops and fasteners, the cover with the case is connected and the latch is hanging on the front. That's all, compact thermocouction for products is ready. If desired, the foam can be supplemented with a layer of foil isolon, it will strengthen the thermal insulation properties of the container.
