Preparation of material and necessary tools plays an important role and allows you to save time in the future. To make a stool we need:
- a hewn board with a size of 800x200x25 mm (approximate sizes, you can proceed from what is available),
- 8 shiny screws (50-60 mm),
- sandpaper,
- jigsaw,
- a screwdriver or screwdriver,
- paint and varnish on wood,
- tape measure, pencil and corner.
Marking the board.
You need to start by marking the board. First of all, using a corner, a pencil and a tape measure, we mark a rectangular segment without knots 32-33 cm long. This will be the top of our high chair. Next, we note two segments of 23 cm - these will be the sides. Now it is desirable to give them some figured pattern. You can use any objects that have a circle for this, simply outlining them with a pencil. But, such a method involves wasting time. After all, you will have to mark the center and other sizes in each side. Therefore, for sidewalls it is better to use a pattern cut out previously from thick cardboard or other material. It will allow you to easily and quickly mark out a large number of sides. It is enough to attach a pattern and circle with a pencil.
By the way, the use of a curly pattern on the side not only gives them a beautiful look, but also allows you to trim all unwanted knots.
And immediately mark the jumper. It should be in the form of a trapezoid and have sides 230 and 220 mm. The width of the jumper is not important - from 80 to 120 mm.
So, it has a marked board.
Important! Do not draw too bold lines - this affects the evenness of cropping. Yes, and erasing a pencil is not so easy.
The manufacture of parts.
Using a jigsaw, we cut out all our parts. Here evenness is important. For an even cut of the cut, it is better to carry the tool blade not along the line, but to the side of it.
You can learn how to cut evenly on unnecessary waste. So, cut out all the details.
Next, I use a large emery cloth to smooth the sharp corners of the parts around the circumference, grind the ends.
This will give the product not only a beautiful look, but also hide all possible unevenness of the cut.
Next, we carefully polish all these parts with fine sandpaper. It is most rational to carry out this procedure at this stage, since a number of inconveniences may arise when grinding the finished structure. It is convenient to grind smooth planes by putting sandpaper on a wooden block or on a manual grout grout. The main thing is quality, since after painting all the flaws will appear and will be visible.
This is how polished and not polished sides look.
So, it has the same parts, but it’s ready for assembly.
Assembly stools.
It is desirable to carry out the assembly in this order:
- connect the sidewalls with a jumper (1 screw on each side);
- put this design on a flat surface and screw the top cover (2 screws on each side);
- We strengthen the connection of the sidewalls with a jumper (1 more screw each).
The chair is assembled! Once again, check it on a flat plane. If the stool is a little loose, then we hang the legs until the product is completely stable.
Painting.
Before painting, we once again check the product for defects, if necessary, erase them and the rest of the pencil. Using a brush, we clean the stool from wood dust and proceed to painting.
There is already "the taste and color of a friend there!" You can leave the natural color of the tree by opening it with colorless varnish. You can give the product a specific color using a variety of wood paints, which are full in all construction stores. In principle, one coat is sufficient for painting. But, if after the first layer is completely dried, the surface is again lightly sanded with fine emery cloth and a new coat of varnish is applied, then the gloss of the product will noticeably increase.
Important! Poorly sanded ends absorb more paint and become darker.
It looks like a finished, varnished stool.
It takes a little more than two hours to make it (not considering drying). How to use a ready-made stool - to sell, give or use yourself - is a private matter for everyone. The main thing is that this beautiful chair is made by yourself!
And if you are ready to spend more than two hours, for example two days, there is a story about how to make a soft kitchen corner. You can read more about this at this link - how to make a corner in the kitchen.
