Making furniture with your own hands

House, apartment, cottage – all these are premises. And they fill the premises, create their entourage and give both functionality and comfort to four walls, of course, furniture. It is difficult to imagine or imagine an interior in which there is completely no furniture … This is just an empty room. A certain faceless grimace. Items of furniture can be mastered in two ways: buy or make it yourself. Making furniture with your own hands, and this will be discussed in this article. Before you take on work, it is worth clarifying a couple of details that will help to navigate and find the reference point: 1. What do you want to do (first you should decide what exactly you need – a shelf or a bookcase, a bedside table or a table). 2. Materials of manufacture. About them a little more detail. Of course, furniture is made of wood rocks, which are of tens of varieties and diversity. For example, there may be spruce wood, but it is divided into categories, both on the surface and in the degree of processing (how much it was dried, how the lumber did-all this should be clarified by the seller-consultant and asking for his opinions, since employees of construction stores In most cases, they are dealing with their goods, and tell you what it is better to choose for a particular product). In most cases, either sheets of conifers of wood or plywood are used (3 or 7 or 7-millimeter). This is already written about this in the technical documentation on the subject, which is made, so the choice will be the most easy and pleasant as possible, and will not be much work. 3. Drawings. The conversation is special about them, since this is the basis on which everything is done. In the public domain find those. Documentation on a particular product is not a problem. In many country books or manuals of the “Make yourself” series, there are not only sketches, but also step -by -step assembly instructions. You can also get documents from the Internet, which also facilitates work. There is a little advice: before doing something from the drawing taken from the source of information, always look at the last stage of the assembly and make sure that it turns out exactly what you need. Well, if the drawing is not found, you have a good imagination and a mathematical mindset, then there will be no problem drawing a sketch yourself. And there is a plus in this: at the end, everything will be in your opinion and you will not have to blame anyone. 4. Tools. For each work, appropriate tools rely. DIY furniture manufacturing is the same assembly as all. Firstly, elementary devices (pencil and ruler) are needed to mark the material. Secondly, we need tools for processing material-cutting and fitting. It must be remembered that for soft wood, it is better to take a smaller saw, such as a jigsaw, and for rude ones you can use a hacksaw. To clean the surface, you will need a skin (sandpaper). First use gross, and gradually approaching the end of the assembly, switch to a smaller. Thus, the ideal surface without vices is obtained. To combine parts, both stationary methods (screws, screws, nails) and adhesives (liquid nails, etc. p.). 5. Finishing and ending. After assembly, the wood cannot be left. It needs to be treated with both banal varnish and fire. This protects the surface from harmful environmental conditions (moisture and t. D.). If you need to give color, then you should use specialized wood paints. Well, if only you want to emphasize the noble shade of wood, then there are stains. As you can see, if you are prepared even the manufacture of furniture with your own hands is not a problem, but a joyful trifle. We hope that our tips helped you.
