Beautiful coasters like everyone. Especially tea lovers and lovers can surprise you with their own collection of cup holders. Cup holders are made not only by individual companies, but also by some jewelers who offer real works of art. The theme of the cup holder is also relevant in that it is pleasant to drink freshly brewed hot tea in the yard in the autumn and in the evenings. In this material we will consider a method of manufacturing a beautiful and original piston cup holder.
First of all, we will familiarize ourselves with the video, which describes the manufacturing process, and after watching, we will try to repeat everything with our own hands.
What we need:
- piston;
- connecting rod;
- lathe;
- a hacksaw for metal;
- drill for metal;
The first thing you need to consider is what exactly we will do with our piston. Since the glass should enter it, we have to grind the inside of our piston. Next, you need to take care of In general, so that the cup holder is original and unique, we need to do everything to keep the appearance of the piston unchanged. Let's get to work.
First we sharpen the piston on a lathe. We grind the piston inside, thus freeing the passage for the glass. In order to ensure that the cup holder is stable and can be placed on a flat surface, we also have to slightly grind the lower part of the piston.
After our piston is sharpened, we can begin to manufacture the handle. To do this, you can use a conventional connecting rod, which comes complete with a piston, or can be made of a piece of aluminum, as the author does. If you have the appropriate equipment and can make a handle like a connecting rod yourself, then we present to your attention a sketch with a sketch.
The figure shows the places where you need to drill holes, as well as the places that need to be cut.
Finally, we move on to the last part of making a cup holder. At this stage, we need to weld the handle to the piston.
In order to give the cup holder a more beautiful and original look, you can also polish it.
When all the work has been done, you can make tea and enjoy the taste of your favorite drink, which will give warmth on cool autumn evenings.
