DOEN DIT SELF
Welcome to RADIO SPRINGBOK
Oulike
Blompotte { Doen-dit-self }
As jy jammer voel om ou gloeilampe weg te gooi, is dié een van die mooiste maniere waarop jy dit kan herwin.
Jy benodig • ou gloeilamp • dun draad vir die handvatseltjie • klein
1 Hou die glasbol van die gloeilamp in ’n sagte lap vas, laat die inskroef-gedeelte op ’n houtblokkie rus en saag die punt al om die rand af – draai die lamp soos jy saag, tot die hele punt af is.
7 Boor nou twee gaatjies aan weerskante van die skroefdraad, naby die rand – dis vir die draadjie waaraan jy die blom-lampie gaan ophang.

Porch Swing Plans and Materials Needed
The porch swing shown in the illustration can be made of southern pine at a very moderate cost. It should be suspended by rustless black chains and eye-bolts passing through the lower rails. If cushions are desired they can be made up quite cheaply of elastic felt covered with denim cloth.
These pieces for your porch swing plans, dressed and sanded, may be bought at the mill

Porch Swing Plans and Instructions
Plane and square the ends of all the rails and posts. Lay out the lap joints for the back rails and posts. Use a knife line for this and saw exactly to the line to avoid trimming with the chisel. When sawing be careful to cut exactly halfway through the thickness of each piece. In the same way make the lap joints between the front rail and posts. Have the two end rails exactly the same length and proceed to fasten the front and back posts to them, using 4-in. lag screws and washers. Bore through the posts and part way into the ends of the end rails for the lag screws.

The slats are mortised 1/2 in. into the back rails, or a 3/8-in. groove may be planed in these rails, the entire distance between joints, to receive the slats. A rabbeting plane will be needed for this. The arm rests lap over the back posts and are held to them with 2-in. round-head screws. They may be fastened to the top of the front posts with round-head screws or dowel pins.
Ordinary pine flooring makes a good, tight seat, or 7/8-in. board may be used if desired. Fasten the cleats, which support the seat, to the front and back lower rails with 1-1/2-in. screws.
To bring out the beautiful grain of southern pine, stain it brown or black and finish with two coats of waterproof varnish.
Nog ’n pragtige ontwerperstuk met net modge podge, mooi papier en ’n bietjie verf.
1 Sit die glasbord onderstebo op ’n bakkie neer sodat jy gemaklik kan werk – hou dit met wondergom vas sodat dit nie rondskuif nie. Vee die agterkant met asyn skoon om seker te maak daar is geen vingerafdrukke of vetterigheid op die glas nie.
2 Kry jou papier gereed. Dit moet effens groter as jou bord wees en nie te dik wees nie. Ons het ’n kleurfotostaat van plakboekpapier gebruik. Verf ’n laag modge podge oor die agterkant van die bord sodra jy gereed is.
3 Werk vinnig en sit die papier prentjiekant ondertoe op die nat modge podge neer. Vryf dit met jou hande van die middel af uitwaarts glad en maak die hoeke ook netjies – wees versigtig dat die papier nie skeur nie.
5 Sny die randjies netjies af wanneer dit heeltemal droog is.
6 Verf nou die agterkant met verf in die kleur van jou keuse om dit mooi af te werk. Laat heeltemal droog word en seël met ’n geskikte vernis – ons het Dala Heat Resistant Hard Varnish gebruik.
