Box to Protect Extra Spark Plugs
The Spark Plugs are Fitted Compactly in the Case and are Protected from Damage
Damage often results to spark plugs which are thrown in the tool box of an automobile, and the use of a small case for the extra spark plugs is desirable. Partitions may be fitted into an old box of suitable size, or a case may be specially made. That shown was designed to provide for six spark plugs in a minimum of space. It was made of ¹⁄₄-in. wood, and of a length so that the spark plugs could be slipped in the recesses only by turning the faces of adjoining plugs together. A hinged cover keeps them firmly in place.—E. R. Mason, Danville, Ill.
Homemade Spring Wagon Seat
Two ⁷⁄₈-in. boards, 12 in. wide, between which two 12-in. pieces of 2 by 4-in. wood are bolted, provide a strong spring seat for a wagon. The boards are cut to a suitable length, and the 2 by 4-in. pieces are set near the middle, and about 8 in. apart. This gives a spring seat at each end of the device.
Cushioned Chair Made of a Barrel
A strong barrel may be made into a comfortable chair by cutting it halfway through at the middle and shaping the remaining upper portion into an arm and back rest. Holes are bored at the seat level and at the back, and wires woven through them to form a backing for excelsior-stuffed cushions.
