Making a useful tool
We will temporarily keep silent about the purpose of the “adapt”, and immediately proceed to its manufacture. For this we need:
- non-collapsible door hinge - 1 pc
- metal rod 15 cm long
- plastic or wooden handle
- two bolts M 4-6, two wing nuts
From the tool you will need to use grinder, welding inverter or a powerful soldering iron. You will also need one blade for a clerical knife.
Stage number 1 - preparing the door hinge
Preparing the door hinge
If there is no grinder or hacksaw on hand, then this step can be skipped. It is only needed for decorative purposes - we need to round off the corners on the loop.
- Making markup
- We fix the loop in a vise
- We cut off the corners with a grinder
Don't forget to use personal protective equipment.
Stage number 2 - welding and soldering work
Fixing the rod to the door hinge
At this stage, we attach the metal rod to the loop. This can be done either by welding or by using a powerful soldering iron. In the case of using the latter, the attachment point must be sanded and treated with soldering acid. If it is not available, then concentrated citric acid can be used.
We will also use semi-automatic welding.
Stage number 3 - fasten the handle
We fasten the handle
For ease of use of the device, it must be equipped with a handle.
Stage number 4 - fixing consumables
Parentheses are ready to use
The device is almost ready for use, you just need to fix the blade of a clerical knife in the door hinge. We will do this with two bolts and wing nuts.
The device for removing solid contaminants is ready. Let's call it a scraper.
