Wing nuts are commercially available for various threads in only one shape. It became necessary to make such a nut. The options with filling from a heat gun or from the neck of a plastic bottle did not suit me. because of inferiority structural weaknesses. There are many such tips. I remembered that the simplest way to make a strong screw with finger stops is to use "cold welding".Feel free to leaf through the photos in the gallery.
Manufacturing process
The first step is to grind the surface of the nut for a closer contact of the "welded" materials. After grinding, degrease the surface of the nut. In my case, I use alcohol.
According to the instructions for "cold welding" we prepare our material. Ie mnem in hands, preferably with gloves. Not like me, with bare fingers. It is noticed that it is not desirable to add water to the "substance" as the manufacturer suggests, because because of this there is a high probability of cracking of the "stucco"
Having sympathized with the warmth from a piece of "plasticine", you should start forming the future outlines of the "lamb"
We have 15-20 minutes to give the necessary shape. After about an hour, you can safely paint or file the lamb.
In general, cold welding is a versatile durable material that can be used in many areas. Do not forget about its existence.
Why was the nut called "lamb"
The nut is called a lamb due to the presence of "blades" in it, which outwardly resemble ram's horn. Due to these horns, the applied force is increased by the fingers.
I hope you appreciate my craft! Put your finger up!
Happy new year friends! So that there are fewer "rams" on your way!
