Sometimes when making any home-made items in a garage or a home workshop, it may be necessary to flatten the ends of round pipes. To do this carefully, you will need a special device.
You can make this device with your own hands from improvised materials. In this case, you will need a piece of a thick-walled pipe, a bolt, a piece of bar and pieces of a metal plate (or strip).
The first step is to cut off three pieces of strip (one long and two short). Short pieces are welded to the long (base) at right angles.
In the welded "ears" you need to drill one through hole. The author also drills holes in the base itself (for attaching it to the table).
The main stages of work
A piece of round pipe is installed between the side walls, into which a bolt is inserted and welded. The author welds a handle from a steel round bar to a pipe segment perpendicularly.
Welds will need to be cleaned using angle grinders (grinders) or a hand grinder, which is also called an electric file. We fasten the homemade product to the table, and you can begin to work.
