Where can I use an empty spray can (previously - with carbon dioxide) for pneumatics? Of course, for the manufacture of any home-made products that can be useful both in the home workshop, and in the household or everyday life.
In this review, the author decided to make2 compact folding knife. It can be used in the house or on hikes.
We recommend you to read: homemade handles for hand tools from spray cans.
First of all, the author makes a marking, and then with the help of a drill - a longitudinal cut. The edges must be filed.
The main stages of work
At the next stage, the author draws a sketch of a knife on paper, cuts out a template and transfers it to a metal plate. The template must be circled with a marker, after which - cut the workpiece.
Next, we bring the workpiece to mind with the help of files or on a grinding machine. We sharpen the blade.
After that, the author heats the blade using a gas canister with a burner, and cools it in oil (that is, it quenches). Next, finishing sharpening is performed.
At the top of the spray can drill a hole. The master fills the inside with plastic material for cold welding.
Then you need to process the hardened material with a file and drill holes.
Then it remains only to connect the blade and the can with a steel rivet.
