Homemade chair is beneficial not only from an economic point of view. If you try, it will turn out beautiful and unique. If you implement new material for this project, it will turn out to be twice as cheaper, and if you recycle the old one, it will be even more profitable. It is easy to create an exclusive version. There will also be great savings here.
Besides this, it is worthwhile to understand at the planning stage that a stool is different from a chair. And in general, the first option for a living room or just an apartment is not suitable - a pouf is better. It is a homemade chair that can become the face of the interior, because it is of great importance and even more important than a table. There are people who determine the position of a person precisely by such furniture and its condition in the house.
When a person has a little building experience, a desire to make a chair, then you just need to show your imagination, arm yourself with useful information and proceed. Of course, there are complex designs that not everyoneunder power. But having tried, it is easy to solve any problem.
What is a chair made of?
In general, such furniture is divided into living and dining rooms. And the distinguishing features are small in the seat. In addition, sometimes the height of the elements is different. This is:
- Back and front sides.
- Back.
- Seat.
- Side side.
- Stroller.
- Front leg.
All these parts must have the appropriate dimensions so that the stability of the entire structure is not violated. Today, there are few people who have a division of chairs into dining and living rooms. There are many photos of homemade chairs, they are also shown in this article. When the chair has straight legs, it saves material, as well as increased comfort for the person sitting. If a person has little experience with basic tools, then it will not be difficult to cope with a tree.
As a basis, you need to take a drawing of a home-made chair, and already guide a landmark along it. Many create it themselves or find it ready. It's not that hard to do. It's good when this furniture is created in batches. Only in this way will it be possible to make them the same. The blanks are made immediately and put into a bag so that there is no confusion afterwards. This is an organizational moment, but you should not miss it.
A chair is not a stool
Many people think that a chair is a stool with a back. It is this distinctive feature that is an important element of the whole design, and not a decor. The stool has the main load onseat, but at the chair - on the legs and back. They rest on the latter and even fall apart. For finishing, you can choose any material - varnish, paint, upholstery, etc. Distinctive features of a piece of furniture:
- Certain connections.
- Selection of wood.
- Assembly method.
- Creating a soft seat.
How to make tree joins?
To make a homemade chair with your own hands, you have to understand what a tenon groove is. For aesthetics, do not use bolts and nuts. Remember that nails are never used at all. Because the chairs are fixed to the tongue-and-groove joints invisible to the eye. To make the design reliable, use glue or wedging. Do not make removable legs - so the design loses its strength. Craftsmen believe that the use of wedges makes the design reliable, but it is not so easy to perform.
Not everyone can do this kind of work. But if you figure it out, it won't be difficult. Most often, a chisel is used, although with a wood cutter, the process will not take much time. Carefully with the edges of the hole to make them smoother and neater. The roundness increases the service life.
Oddly enough, but it is difficult to make spikes. Not everyone succeeds in sawing off the leg carefully and not injuring the spike, but if this happens, this is a marriage that is not allowed during operation. Again, if you do not finish sawing and simply remove the flange, then the spike becomes bulging, and it will no longer be possible to insert it. Therefore, it is better to use a milling cutter. With him everything will be faster andbetter.
How to choose a tree?
Coniferous trees are definitely not suitable. And this is not just because such a material is single-layer and cannot withstand the load that occurs on the chair. Yes, and it will be difficult to work with him without having a master's experience. Although just for the seat, this is quite a suitable option. Here's what works best:
- Oak.
- Beech.
- Nut.
- Elm.
These are the most durable breeds and they have a dense base. Birch is also often used, especially for folding options, because it is soft. But the preparation of the material is the same as for wood - drying (only not in special installations), impregnation with harmless compounds to extend the service life.
When there is an additional tool at home - a grinder, then the whole material is taken and unraveled on it. This is a way to save money. Although you can always find anything on sale, one question remains - this is the price. Often there may be a defect on the tree, it will not be possible to assemble high-quality furniture with it.
Step by step assembly
Homemade chairs and tables are assembled in a few steps. The build is done twice. First, everything is assembled and adjusted, only after that it is glued or filled with wedges. The rear structure is assembled and then everything else is adjusted to it. There is one feature - the method of inserting spikes into the front legs. This is done with equal spikes, as in a stool. But the sides do not cut, as the level of strength will decrease.
How to make a frame?
It's worth doing everythingsolid wood construction, because often people join elements and such furniture does not last long. If it happens that there is not much material, it is better to cut out with a shift. If this is a dining design, then the sides should also be curved.
But the main question is how to design spikes? Worth the time and work on the spikes. If there are beveled parts, then the spikes are straight. It's not that hard. After that, a homemade wooden chair will need to be milled. Everything is done in batches. For this, a mandrel with the required angle is used. First fold the long side and only after that the short side. But the corners of the spikes need to be rounded.
Work on the back of the structure
It can be anything - solid, type-setting, soft, hard. If it is rigid and made of a whole material, then it is made in the form of a curved part. They outline and cut out in the same way as the tsargs, according to a curvilinear pattern. If a prefabricated structure, then a tenon groove is used. No screws or bolts are required.
If the back is soft, then you need to prepare a plank of even shape. It may consist of a straight top bar and support. Under the base, you can use plywood, of small thickness. For softness take foam rubber or felt. In the role of fastening - glue, but you should not bring to the edge about 20 millimeters. The decorative addition is made in the form of a pocket and is worn on the back (attached at the bottom). Install it in the grooves in the upper bar, as well as on the rear legs. Then it goes like this:
- Create the left and right parts of the apron into a single whole, notforgetting about the back side, the top bar with a dry run.
- Fixing the backrest, but it does not always fit exactly.
- Installing the rear leg with all components.
- The front component is attached to the apron.
- Once everything has been checked, it is fixed on the adhesive composition for evenness. The sequence does not change.
Working on the seat
Upholstery wears out quickly on a stool. On the chair, it is not so strongly fixed and therefore does not go. It also depends on the design features. The base is plywood. The upholstery must be covered with felt. It is not necessary to fix it as much as possible - you can simply fix it on a stapler or glue it. For this, there is a drawing of a homemade chair. According to it, the sequence of all works becomes clear.
To cover today there is a lot of interesting fabric on sale, it runs over the entire surface, cutting off the corners. Sometimes leather is chosen. It lasts a long time, but you need to work with it carefully. If the seat is simply laid on top of the created frame, then the reliability will not be maximum. For this, a lodgement is made, which is created by the kings. This is how homemade wooden chairs are made.
Fishing chair
Summer is a time to relax and enjoy nature. Everyone tries to spend a pleasant time somewhere, for men fishing is an interesting hobby. Everyone is trying to catch their big fish and then make their trophy in history. It is a homemade fishing chair that becomes an indispensable thing. But can you create it yourself?Oddly enough, this process is not complicated, and with instructions at hand, it is easy to do.
Homemade fishing chair should be foldable. So they are more convenient to use in the process. To do this, you need to complete only three main parts, and the unfolding system is created without the use of hinges and other parts. Therefore, there is no need to purchase extra spare parts.
There is always a blueprint to work on. Many people try to create a homemade folding chair in such a way that when assembled it fits into a backpack. But everyone can change the size at their discretion. To implement the project, you need to make a drawing, which is then transferred to the material and the process itself is carried out. This will require chipboard or plywood. So that the cost price is not high, you can take any material, even already used. But the main thing is that there are no cracks or other serious damage on the material.
In total, there are two main pieces of material in the work, the thickness should be no more than 18 millimeters, and the dimensions should be 500 by 400 millimeters. Again, they may well change, depending on what you want to get as a result. For the seat itself, fabric is taken, some choose a tarpaulin or something similar. Size - 400 by 450 millimeters. To get regular and even lines, a jigsaw is used. In this case, the parts should fit tightly to each other without gaps.
To make a chair beautiful, its legs are painted. One design is made in the form of the letter "P" - the upper bar is 400 millimeters, the side500. Between the legs of the letter are 200 millimeters, and the cap is 300. The second part is in the form of the letter "T", but the leg is in the form of a trapezoid. They are neatly connected, and then the seat is attached to them. A self-tapping screw or glue is used. When the chair is unfolded, the fabric seat helps not to fold. Homemade folding chairs are reliable and durable. They can be used not only outdoors, but also at home.
Different chair designs
Now everyone can make an elementary chair design. But there are many such pieces of furniture, and they are diverse. Oddly enough, it is the folding design that is in great demand. The main plus is that the chair will not take up much space. It is suitable not only for fishing, but also at home. And for the summer season, every summer resident dreams of such a design. On it you can not only relax, but also do work.
For this, plywood 10 millimeters thick is taken, a back is made, as well as two main parts and a seat. It is important that the support is reliable - it is on it that most of the entire load will come. Additional holes are made on the sides, allowing you to adjust the back. Many people think that just such a construction is elementary.
Children option
What about children? Of course, you can create something special for them, but do not forget that this furniture has its own nuances. Two main directions - functionality and durability.
For children, birch or the same plywood is taken as a material. The details will be shorter, so the transversecross section does not play a big role. It is good if such a design is quickly disassembled and assembled.
Conclusion
So, we found out how you can make this design yourself. There are many options for making chairs with your own hands, you just need to choose what will be suitable for the home. Everyone has their own style and preferences. If something does not work out, do not stop - a little experience will open all the doors.
