There are several ways out of thisposition. You can buy new furniture, but this is if the funds permit. You can update the old one by changing the upholstery on it. And you can make something from the furniture yourself. This is not so difficult as it seems at first glance. But how nice to have in the house furniture or some detail of the interior made by own hands. And it's okay that your profession has nothing to do with carpentry. We can tell you how to make a cube.
How to make a tank for an aquarium
Let's start from something simple. Take, for example, a cabinet. If you breed fish at home, or keep a white exotic frog in the aquarium, then for the sake of completeness, you do not have enough pedestals for your aquarium. Inside you can store food, net or a lot of useful things to you.
To begin with, we need to think about everything, and inFirst of all, draw a template for your future nightstand on the paper of Whatman. To facilitate the task, there are programs such as Woody 2 or "Basis-furniture", which will help you design your curb. Then, from the templates you have drawn, make cuttings for the main parts of the cabinet. To do this, you can use any wood material, from what is available at home. In the same way, make templates for all other parts.
Having made a small allowance on a paper template,You need to cut out the wood material of the workpiece for your parts. Then fixing the wooden template and the workpiece, treat it with a milling cutter or grinder. We do this so that the details of our pedestal along the edges are smooth and smooth. After we have processed the details of the curbstone, and attached them with glue and screws, we can assume that the main part of the work we have already done.
Now we need to process the details of the bedside tablestain. It is necessary for the parts to dry out. Make a marking for the side walls and shelves. Using a drill, make holes to attach everything. If you have absolutely no experience, and you have never faced such a job before, and you think that you can not make a hole, then furniture companies will always come to your aid. For a small fee, the master will help you. But for this, show him your drawing so that he knows where to make the hole.
Then we take the edge for our furniture, andWe paste the details with paper, as well as iron. A sheet of paper will protect the edge from the bubbles that arise from overheating. If everything turned out not too smoothly, do not despair. A knife will help us to cope with small irregularities. For this we need to press it tightly at an acute angle to the edge surface and hold it. That there were no scratches on the surface of the part, you can put a paper sheet. If at you all has turned out exactly, it is possible to fasten ready details eccentric ties or confirmants.
How to make a TV cabinet
Look around. Nowadays, each house has a TV, VCR, DVD player, computer, microwave. For your convenience and comfort, you can install a nightstand, where you can place videotapes, disks. You can buy the right tube for us or, for example, make it with your imagination and your golden hands. But how nice it will be later to walk, and see the creation of their hands in their own home.
For this we need;
- Particleboard (laminated),
- PVA (glue joiner),
- glass,
- screws,
- edging,
- furniture castors.
To begin with, we need laminated durableParticleboard. We need the thickness to be 16 mm. Initially, you need to draw a drawing of the details of the curbstone, consider the size of each part, and by these dimensions, buy the materials you need. If, say, you create a cabinet with shelves, they can be made of glass. The thickness should not be more than 4 mm. Also, to create a cabinet we need wood screws, PVA glue, castors, edging.
To begin with, you need to make a markup on a chipboard sheet underparts. Saw them with a jig saw or a hacksaw, but do not forget to make an allowance of 4-5 mm to the cutting line as measured. Arc-shaped parts, rounded on the edge, initially saw out in the shape of a rectangle, and then without haste, create an arc using a hacksaw.
Carefully inspect the plane of the parts. Look, perpendicular to the ends of the planes of your parts, whether they are even. If you make a cabinet of non-laminated particleboard, then the surface of the part must be sanded. Do not you have a special tool? It's not a problem. It can be replaced with a piece of wooden block, on which glued paper is glued. Then, when the surface of the chipboard is prepared, you need to map out the location of the holes and drill them. But keep in mind that all the holes should be about 40 mm from the edge of the part. Pay attention to the diameter of the drill bit.
It is much easier to put a bedside table out of laminatedParticleboard. After all, its surface will not need to be cleaned (skins). But if you had to work with ordinary chipboard, then you need to paste the details of the thumbs with the paper. To do this, take PVA glue, and then paint the paper with black paint, in several layers. The sides of the parts can be pasted with special edge, laminated ribbon, which is sold in all stores with building materials and furniture fittings. To glue such tape to you the iron (through a piece of paper) will help. Surfaces of parts can be varnished.
Before assembling individualparts of the cabinet, you need to clean the holes from the wood dust, and then attach the parts with dowels and joinery glue. You can take special screws for furniture. After installing the casing of the curbstone (sides, bottom, top), install the backrest, securing the back part.
The corners of your pedestal should be 90 degrees. To the bottom of the nightstand, for the convenience of moving attach furniture wheels.
Attach attachments to the walls on which thefasten the door. Insert the fasteners under the shelves into the holes that you have made. On them put shelves of glass. Then comes the turn of the handles and doors. Now you know how to make a tube yourself.
