Surely many people remember the heading "Crazy Hands" in the TV show "While everyone is at home." Her permanent presenter Andrey Bakhmetyev from improvised means he made various things useful in the household. This section has long been off the air, but the case is flourishing thanks to a St. Petersburg lawyer. Maxim Egorov he makes chairs with his own hands using a rope from a plastic bottle, makes a bow from metal pipes and a phone case from a water gutter, and uploads the entire video to the Internet. "Handmade" from the lawyer immediately broke all records for views, and in a few months Egorov became a real YouTube star.

"Oar from a can"
According to the lawyer himself, his hobby has nothing to do with the program "While everyone is at home" - Maxim watched its releases, but something else influenced his occupation. Since childhood, Maxim was very curious and did not like to sit in one place for a long time - he traveled with his parents and conducted experiments. Maxim designed his first invention at the age of six. Then the Yegorovs with the whole family swam in a boat on Lake Ladoga. “Dad was on the oars,” recalls Maxim. - I was bored to sit, I also wanted to row. I tried to row with a stick, but it had almost no resistance to the waves. Then I got hold of a tin can and broke off the lid. I found a large four-sided nail, poked two holes in the lid and put it on a stick. It turned out to be an oar, and I rowed it. I still don’t understand how my parents allowed me to do all this. ”
The years passed. Maxim grew up, became a lawyer, but he remained interested in experiments. Egorov read a lot, and he liked to test in practice the conclusions drawn from books. Only close people knew about the lawyer's activities. “Friends have told me for many years: 'This should be shared with the world.' And a couple of years ago I shot my first video with potatoes. " Before conducting the experiment, Maxim on the Internet saw videos from other users in which they plant potatoes not in the ground, but directly on the ground. They are covered with grass or other organic debris, and in the spring the tubers ripen. The lawyer never repeats the actions of other people, and he decided to conduct his experiment with moss. “I covered the potatoes with sphagnum, and the result was the same,” explains Maxim. - Only the advantages of my technology are that under the sphagnum potatoes grow more useful and not damaged by any diseases or rodents. You don't need to plant and huddle anything, just to harvest. "
Famous for potatoes
On the advice of friends, Maxim posted the video on the Internet, but on a large number of I didn't count on views. Imagine his surprise when the video "shot" and began to collect hundreds of views every day! Then the lawyer began filming and posting new videos on YouTube. Now Egorov has 82 thousand subscribers who are looking forward to new experiments. “It happens that from 4 to 6 thousand people are added a day,” says the lawyer. - And one subscriber from Vladivostok will soon take part in a motorcycle rally to St. Petersburg. He promised to bring me a unique winter-hardy potato variety that his grandfather, a breeder, had grown for forty years. "
After the video with potatoes, Maxim posted dozens of other recordings on his Internet channel. The lawyer taught the audience how, without breaking an egg, to mix protein with yolk, how to quickly cut a plastic bottle into thin ropes, which can then be adapted on the farm. Egorov himself, for example, made a chair from several branches of a tree, fastening the branches together with a bottle rope. In the video, the lawyer showed how to make a stylish ring from a coin, and an excellent hunting bow from pipes. Maxim honestly admits: he does not have time to combine work and hobbies, so he always has a lot to do. There are always ideas and projects in my head, but there is not always enough time for their implementation. Sometimes it takes several days to shoot one video. “I have been shooting archery for a very long time,” Maksim recalls. - Then it was autumn. I'll just go to the forest, it starts to rain right away. I leave home - the sun comes out. I caught the weather for three days. In general, the problem of exposing the frame complicates the process several times. Previously, I had no shooting experience, but now I have to do everything. It is necessary that the light falls correctly so that I do not obscure anything with myself. The edited video contains one hundredth of the total footage. "
Maxim is also engaged in editing independently, sometimes it takes him even more time than shooting a video. Maxim shoots all videos on regular phone... The only thing that the lawyer bought in the store, and did not make it with his own hands, is a tripod. Egorov attached the phone to the tripod using a special case, which the lawyer cut out of the water gutter.
Ideas for sale. A Baumanka graduate set up a business on inventions.
"You can't trust anyone"
Maxim keeps some of his inventions at home, the rest he throws away, not sparing. "Why leave if they are not needed?" - the lawyer is surprised. At Egorov's house there are rings made of coins, a bottle cutter and a knife. Internet users often write to Maxim with requests to shoot this or that video, but even more often they offer a lawyer to sell them his inventions. “Many people ask me to sell them some thing that I have done,” says Maxim. - But I am categorically against exploitation. How can I sell an item that has a penny cost? If a faucet starts leaking in my apartment, I will fix it myself, if I need to build a house, I will build it. But if I need to have an abdominal operation, I will turn to specialists. Returning to the beginning of the thought - why buy a thing if you can make it yourself? "
Now Maxim, as always, is full of ideas. Perhaps very soon several videos of experiments on Lake Ladoga or experiments in the field of biology will appear on his Internet channel. “I learned how to stabilize chaga,” says the inventor. - That's very beautiful. Most people mistakenly believe that chaga is a mushroom that grows on a tree. In fact, chaga is a cork, a hardened foam of sap from a tree. I am sure most of the information that is present in life is not true. Look back at the Middle Ages - what scientists believed to be true for centuries in a row turned out to be wrong. Such grandiose minds as Maxwell and Faraday subdivided electricity into woolen and amber, and no one doubted this for 200 years! We have advanced a little from our ancestors. You need to check everything for personal experience, but you can't trust anyone! I tell you this as a lawyer. "
Our Kulibins. Digest of recent inventions by Russian scientists.
Lawyer Egorov's YouTube channel quickly became popular. And it is not surprising - this nugget inventor generates brilliant ideas, using only improvised means.
The untimely deceased, but eternally famous TV program "Very Skillful Pens" is being replaced by new heroes who, no worse than Timur Kizyakov and Andrey Bakhmetyev, are able to make impressive things out of plastic bottles, stationery rubber bands and Moment glue.
Lawyer Maxim Egorov became a YouTube star, creating incredible gadgets, tools and even weapons with his own hands from scrap materials and construction waste. 
Every time the topic of the inevitability of nuclear war comes up in the media or social networks, people think about their own skills that will ensure their safety in the post-apocalyptic era. As bloggers rightly point out, lawyer Egorov is definitely the type of person who will win the Fallout game if it happens in the real world.
Egorov runs his own YouTube channel, where he shares educational videos in three areas: fishing, gardening and DIY. In the first two categories, he did not do very well in terms of popularity: despite useful tips like "Camping radiator: how to warm up a tent until the morning" and "How to increase the potato crop by dividing a tuber", these videos gained about 50 thousand views on average.
And here is the heading "Pts. skilful ”videos from Yegorov were in great demand. On June 22, she, as they say, bombarded: a video about a bottle cutter, a device for cutting rope from plastic bottles, hit the top of YouTube and gained over 1 million views in less than two weeks.
As it turned out, Egorov has qualities that are rare for modern video bloggers: he does not distract attention with unnecessary insertions with jokes, dances or music. He immediately begins to speak on business, rarely appears in the frame (only when something needs to be demonstrated), his knowledge is truly unique and useful, and he wants to listen and listen to his calm, insinuating voice.
Take at least a video about chicken eggs and coasters for them. Egorov not only talks about a way to mix the insides of an egg without breaking it, but also clarifies that there was not enough information in the method he read on one of the sites: according to Egorov, this caused negative reviews readers of the resource.
But the blogger does not stop there: he shares the options for using this life hack - for example, you can surprise your friends or give an original gift for Easter - and immediately informs you what date Easter will be this year. Three in one!
For those who still doubt Egorov's chances of surviving a zombie invasion or the beginning of a civil war, there is an example of instructions for making a knife. Egorov honestly warns: "The blade is obviously made of stainless steel, and how I welded St3 steel to it, I myself do not understand."
If the knife was not convincing enough, the next video should break all the templates. Egorov shows how, using PVC pipes, siding inserts and the influence of an electric hair dryer, you can make a bow, which, apparently, is not inferior in characteristics to a long Scottish one.
Egorov himself with this bow in his hands in a natural environment looks not like a Sherwood robber, not like an elf Legolas - at least, he hits the target just as well.
Other videos of Yegorov make eyebrows rise by themselves from the names alone: for example, "How to make a jew's harp from a nail" and "How to make a ring from a coin with the coat of arms of the USSR". What for? Because Egorov can.
Maxim Egorov was born in St. Petersburg in 1979, where he still lives. Judging by his VKontakte page, in his free time he likes to go hiking, go fishing and play billiards. 
Remarkably, Yegorov does provide legal services in a firm named after him. In addition to supporting cases in court, the company "Advocate Egorov" also deals with cases closer to the world of the Internet: for example, web design and SEO-optimization.
This publication contains all the materials of the blogger lawyer Yegorov, in which he tells and shows clearly how to make a bottle cutter for cutting ribbons, rope and fishing line from plastic bottles. There are also additions that will help if not all points have become clear from the main part. In the last part of this article, you will find a link to the drawing of the bottle cutter.
The materials are divided into several parts.
Check out the first version of the rope mining device first. Further, a more perfect, second version of his adaptation. In the third part, other masters explain in detail and in an accessible manner the entire technology of manufacturing a machine for a tape from pvc bottles. As a basis, here too, the approach presented in the video of the lawyer Egorov is used. Who is interested in the drawing, you can find it at the bottom of the page. But we still suggest that you familiarize yourself with all the developments and choose the most optimal design for your needs.
The photo below shows the device that will be discussed in the second video.
This model is not so common, it was the first model to show nice results... It differs from the second model in that to cut tapes of different widths, it is required to twist the regulators each time. Its advantage is its ease of manufacture.
This video is about how to create and apply bench machine for cutting tape from a 1.5 liter bottle or other volume and how to use the shrink properties of such a tape. In the development of this machine, the author used the experience of another blogger, while the author's development was somewhat changed by him. The difference between the machine tool of the lawyer Egorov is that it allows you to cut the tape of different widths. This is achieved by simply repositioning one or more washers higher or lower. This design is also, unlike the original source, stronger and more reliable. This is achieved through the use of other materials. It does not use glue, adhesive tape, applied purely bolted connection... There is one more difference - ease of assembly.
To demonstrate the shrink properties of such a tape, a tetrider-based structure was assembled. How is the stiffness of the joints achieved? A pvc tape is wound and heated by a lighter or other heat source. The tape shrinks. When heated, the tapes constrict the object. During the shrinking process, the tape becomes narrower, thicker and stronger.
What do you need to assemble the machine?
A piece of laminate. Large and small washers, 2 nuts, two bolts, a piece of a utility knife. From tools: 2 drills, screwdriver for, pencil, wrench.
The markup will be simple. We connect two washers in one place and mark the holes. The hole must not be fully drilled. We change the drill. We drill through holes. There are two holes. We insert the bolt into the hole. As you can see, it is not drowned. We need to drown him. Do the same with the second bolt. In order to cut a strip with a width of 2 washer thicknesses, two washers should be placed on each bolt, respectively.
Then put a utility knife blade on one of the bolts. Place at least one more washer on each bolt. Orient the blade so that the visible part of its cutting edge is located in the zone formed by the shortest distance from washer to washer. Align washers and tighten nuts. The machine is ready. It can be securely fixed on the table with self-tapping screws or a clamp. The polyethylene used in the bottle is colorless. It can be transparent or colored in any color. The most popular colors are green or brown. First, an unnecessarily thin black tape with a width of 1.5 millimeters will be cut in the frame. This is done in order to demonstrate that such a thin tape will cut as well as a wide one.
Such tape in a 2-liter bottle is more than 35 meters. 2 5 liter bottles are enough to tie the raft. Joints with such a tape are very strong and tight. After shrinking the tape with the help of a square made of a fire, the knots became one-piece, and the raft itself rallied so that more could not be desired. The connection turned out to be stronger and tighter than wire twisting.

Explaining how to make a bottle machine
Further, the video, which clearly and clearly, describes in detail the entire manufacturing technology of the machine, which in the previous video is not so well viewed, but here you can familiarize yourself in detail with the whole process. The author of this craft is Alexander Tkachenko (YouTube).
Aluminum channel with dimensions 20 x 30 x 20 millimeters. 6mm bolts. Hairpin 50 centimeters long by 6 millimeters. Nuts, washers 6 mm. Screwdriver bit set. The blade from a construction knife is 18 millimeters wide. Drill 6 mm. Auxiliary tool, screwdriver, ruler, tape measure, metal saw, marker.
So, there is an aluminum channel. Inside there will be a blade that will be pressed against the channel wall in the finished machine using a wooden block. A drawing of a bottle cutter based on Egorov's bottle cutter can be found at the bottom of the page.
We focus on the location so that it is convenient to hold the channel with your hand and so that you can screw the bottle cutter sideways to a wooden rack and cut the tape from plastic bottles.
We assume that the blade will be located inside the channel, but it is not very convenient to make markings. Therefore, we put the blade on the outside and mark the holes on it with a marker. Next, we mark the place where the cuts should be. 7 cuts in total. We also indicate upper part knife. There is one caveat. When the foreman applied the knife for marking, he did not take into account the thickness of the metal. Therefore, when marking, you need to apply a blade taking into account the thickness of the metal. In this case, it is 1.5-2 millimeters. The foreman corrected the error by re-drilling the holes. The markup is complete.
A pin will be inserted into the marked hole. In the marked places, cut the slots with a hacksaw for metal. We cut it like this: first, a short slot for a thin plastic tape, then gradually increase its length with each step. That is, first we cut through the closest one, which is closest to the hole from the hairpin. The step is about 2 millimeters. Then we increase the step.
The photo shows how a slotted channel should look like. The length of each of them corresponds to the width of the pet tape.
Next, we drill a hole on the side opposite to the one that has already been made. After that, you can insert the pin by pushing it through both holes.
There are nuances. When you make cuts, be sure to cut clearly on the side from which you are adjusting the width of the tape to the width that you want to achieve. On the other hand, on the contrary, you need to make wider cuts in order for the bottle to adhere to the knife as much as possible in this part.
When you twist the hairpin, it is best to bend it ahead of time. On the channel, it remains flat. The blade should fit snugly against the channel.
What is a bottle cutter for? First of all, you can make shrink tape with it. It is great for repairing various tools and devices.
What are the best plastic bottles for this bottle cutter? They should be without relief. If you use a bottle with a relief, then the tape will work, but it will not be of very high quality. Moreover, it is inconvenient to work with such a blank. The cut on the bottle, when you cut the bottom, it should be straight.
If you are not tired of reading, then there is more on this topic.
Powerful bottle cutter with blueprint
Next, watch the video powerful installation for cutting tape from PET bottles, which can be used even on an industrial scale. Its peculiarity is high reliability and performance. The master made a drawing of the cutter, which he made on the basis of the bottle cutter of the lawyer Yegorov. If you do not want to do the entire structure, then use the part of the drawing that reflects the main working part, which coincides with the device that was made by the lawyer Yegorov.
The video shows the details of making a bottle cutter
Petersburg lawyer Maxim Yegorov became famous not for his appearances in court, but for his inconceivable inventions. Videos, on which Yegorov talks about how to make ropes from a plastic bottle, a bow from plastic pipes, and a jew's harp from a nail, collect on YouTube from several hundred thousand to one and a half million views. Lawyer and inventor explained "Paper" why he won't patent his inventions and told about other important, from his point of view, achievements - the prototype of artificial intelligence and the draft of a new constitution for an ideal state.
Maxim Egorov
lawyer and inventor
My first invention was an oar, which I made at the age of five from a stick and a lid from a tin can, when my father and mother sailed on a boat on Ladoga. I remember that paddle very well, because now I would have made it completely differently. If a person wants to get something, then he has three ways: exchange, take away and do it himself. The desire to take something away from another child is suppressed even in childhood. People who use other people's labor are concentration camp guards. They also use other people's labor in psychiatric hospitals. This option does not suit me. The exchange does not suit me either, I have nothing superfluous. Plus, sometimes I want something that doesn't exist at all, so I do things myself.
Sometimes I want something that is not at all, so I do things myself
I started uploading videos to the network quite recently. Friends persuaded me to publish them. As soon as there was a response, I started uploading new videos. I don't want to patent my inventions. First, it takes time and money, and second, I don't mind people using something, like a bottle cutter, for commercial purposes. I will only be glad to popularize my product. On the other hand, someone can patent a product and prohibit the rest of its commercial use. But even in this case, I am unlikely to do something. It's a shame that impressing people is not at all what I'm proud of. The most unpopular video on my channel is where my father is talks about the syllogistic reasoner, which will allow you to create a real artificial intelligence... We have discovered more than a hundred logical modes that allow you to teach a computer new verbal knowledge. Also, for 18 years, we had a large company meeting weekly on Thursdays and tried to develop a system of an ideal state for imperfect people. Based on this theory, the law created a new constitution. More than 200 people took part in the development of this theory. I don't really like to work and I earn as much as I need. Usually my legal practice takes about four hours a day. Sometimes it happens that I am completely free, and it happens that I spend the whole day at work. I have been inventing since preschool age, and now I spend about the same amount of time on work and hobbies.
