Wooden chair in a home workshop: preliminary assembly, little tricks. Part 6
In past publications, it was talked about the manufacture of chair parts in a home workshop using homemade devices. Links to all parts can be found at the end of the article.
It remains to pre-assemble the chair: check all the connections, add details to increase the strength of the chair, make decorative milling.
The thorns at the sides of the chair are made large enough and when assembled they touch in the sockets of the legs of the chair.
In order for the thorns to sit in the nests to the end, you need to cut off their end at an angle of 45°. The thorns must be cut from one side and since the side drawers are made at an angle, they must be cut symmetrically and for convenience you can make notes, for example, on the underside of the side drawers. The butt can be cut off either manually or on a machine. (Scroll through the gallery)
Then I assembled the chair "dry" - without glue. (Scroll through the gallery)
On the assembled chair, I marked out and cut out the seat. Of course, it could be done according to the drawing, but for one chair, the marking of the cutouts in the seat could be done locally. (Scroll through the gallery)
I also milled the outside of the seat with a radius cutter to get a rounded edge.
Also, milling was done on the legs and part of the back. (Scroll through the gallery)
It remains to make four stiffening blocks, which will be attached under the seat and through them the seat will also be fixed. These blocks are bars with cut to size 45° butts.
Holes were also made in these bars for fasteners.
Before the final assembly and painting, it remains to carefully polish all the details of the chair.
I propose to look at the preparation for assembling the chair in the video clip.
