In this video, we'll show you simple workshop tricks and creative uses for everyday items
like plastic pipes, drinking straws, and even old toothbrushes. These time-saving hacks are
perfect for fixing, building, and organizing with things you already have. Without further ado,
let's get started. Take a plastic pipe and a suitable triple fitting that matches the diameter.
Put the fitting on the center of the pipe and secure it with two screws.
Make marks at equal distances along the entire length of the pipe and drill through holes.
Drive a long nail into each hole. Put the finished construction on a shovel handle
and secure it with a screw. Your homemade rig for collecting leaves and grass is ready.
Want to vacuum dust and sawdust from organizers with small items,
but afraid they'll get sucked into the vacuum? Insert a bunch of plastic drinking straws into
the vacuum hose. Secure the straws with a rubber band so they stay together.
Now sawdust and debris will be sucked through the thin straws while nails,
bolts, and other small items will stay in place. If you don't have a special wrench to remove the
lock nut from an angle grinder, insert two screws into the holes on the nut.
Place a screwdriver between the screws and use it as a lever to turn.
You can tighten the nut back the same way. Don't rush to throw away plastic pipe scraps.
Cut one side of each pipe at approximately a 45 degree angle.
Screw the pipes with the cut side to the wall or board. You'll get convenient holders for tools,
scissors, screwdrivers, and other small items in the workshop.
If a foam spray can hit the ceiling, this can be easily fixed with a silicone tube,
plastic zip ties, and a small piece of plastic pipe.
If you need to cut a plastic pipe evenly, apply masking tape around the circumference where you
plan to make the cut. Saw strictly along the edge of the tape. You'll get a perfectly even cut at a
90 degree angle. To remove excess lint from a paint roller, wrap masking tape around your hand
with the sticky side out. Roll the roller over the tape. The lid will stick to the tape and the roller
will be ready for painting. Drill a hole in a wooden block and thread a metal cable through it.
On the back side, fray the end of the cable by separating it into individual wires.
Screw a screw right into the hole over the frayed end. The cable will be securely fixed in the wood.
Cut off the handle from a toothbrush and drill a hole in the center.
Heat a metal file rod and insert it into the hole of the brush handle.
You'll get a convenient handle for a round file. Use regular wooden skewers to fix loose hinges
on your furniture facades. Don't rush to throw away broken nail clippers. They can be used as a
convenient tool for stripping insulation from cables. Don't sharpen a knife like this. Without
the proper angle, sharpening will be ineffective. Take a small plastic tube. Make a slot in the tube.
Insert the knife into the slot with the cutting edge facing out. Now the tube will maintain the
sharpening angle. Here I'm showing how to pull out a cable with a plug stuck between the wall and pipe.
It looks like some kind of magic trick. Take a pop rivet with a long stem. Remove the aluminum part
of the rivet and put it back on the reverse side. Drive the rivet in not all the way. Wrap the wire
around the rivet and drive it in completely. You'll get a reliable wire clamp. Clamp a thick cable in
a drilled chuck. Turn on the drill at low speed and the insulation will easily separate from the wire.
Wrap thin wire around the drilled bit shank if it's too thin for the chuck.
Insert the drilled bit with the wrapped wire into the drill. Now the bit will be tightly clamped
and won't wobble. Also, instead of wire you can use regular foil or even a ballpoint pen refill.
Screw old flip-flops to empty buckets so you don't have to climb a ladder or chair every time during
painting or ceiling repairs. Simple life hack for loosening a tight nut. If your screw is stubborn
and doesn't want to go into the wood, try first screwing it into a regular candle to coat it with
a thin layer of wax. Take an old used brush. Remove the bristles and leave only the wooden handle.
Screw a wooden block to the handle and attach a door hinge to it.
Screw another wooden block to the hinge. Dry small nails on the sides of the blocks.
Insert a sponge between the blocks and secure it with a clip on the nails.
Now you have a convenient applicator for applying wood stain or linseed oil to wood.
Make hose stands from broken clothes hangers, old and used cables, or just scraps of thick wire.
Attach a garden hose to a fan with zip ties. Set the fan to rotation mode.
Now watering will cover a wide area. That's all for today. See you next time!
