Wooden chair in a home workshop: painting and assembly. How to paint a pine tree. Part 7

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.

In this part, we will focus on painting and assembling the chair.

All parts of the chair have been carefully polished. On pine, you can finish sanding with 120 grit sandpaper.

Partial assembly

Before painting, I partially assembled the chair: glued the front legs and completely assembled the back of the chair.

When assembling the back of a chair in this design, you must adhere to a certain sequence. Scroll through the gallery

After such a partial assembly, I removed small chamfers along all the ribs of the back.

Stool coloring

I prefer to paint pine furniture with colored water-based varnishes. These varnishes dry quickly, are odorless and provide a high quality finish.

Colored varnish applied with a spray gun allows you to get a positive color on the pine. It's like in photography, positive and negative.

I will explain in detail.

Pine has a pronounced texture and consists of soft light fibers that absorb dye well and harder, dark and resinous fibers that do not accept paint well.

When dyeing pine in dark colors, light fibers absorb the dye well, and dark ones poorly, and as a result, they change places in color. Contrast coloring is obtained.

If you apply colored varnish to pine, and on the first layers with a minimum supply of varnish, then you can get on wood colored film, which will serve as a kind of color filter and dark resinous fibers will appear darker than soft light fibers. That is, you get a positive coloration.

This is how I painted the chair.

After each layer was dry, I went over all the details with fine-grained (180-220) sandpaper to knock down the pile and provide a smoother wood surface.

This multi-layer painting in thin layers avoids varnish drips and allows you to achieve the desired shade.

When I got the planned color, I proceeded to the final assembly of the chair.

To do this, I connected the front legs and back with side drawers.

Then, to give the chair more rigidity and strength, I screwed the corner blocks inside the chair.

For greater reliability, I not only screwed these blocks, but also glued them.

Then I screwed on the seat.

This design provides for the possibility of making a soft seat.

I propose to look at the assembly and painting of the chair in video clip.
