Furniture the hands: the philosophy of dreams

It is said that a man in your life is to build a house, raise a son and plant a tree, but there came a time when this sentence is necessary to supplement the fourth act. So, this man must make furniture and no matter what it is - a simple stool or a modern kitchen. After all, just about furniture made with their hands, you can tell that it is made with soul.

Although many people think that in order to produce furniture by yourself you need to have specific knowledge or a set of complex tools, practice shows that any business begins with the first step and pass this way you will help users and FORUMHOUSE By professionals.

We believe that it can be described as the furniture made by yourself, because it makes your own hands! But where to start?

Alexander friedge (The founder of the workshop Pirate Woods, Carpenter)

- We can say that the first step begins with your desire. Also from my own experience I can say that quite a lot of time should be spent just to learn how to hold fast in the hands of the tool.

Then as much of the fact that there was accuracy in measurements. That is why it is important not to delay their desire to make their own furniture for an indefinite period, and begin now: try, make mistakes, and achieve results to be proud of!

The main advantage of furniture made by yourself - you get a customized solution of personal objectives.

Planning:

Denis Andreev (The head of the carpentry workshop Avtor, cabinetmaker)

- Furniture made yourself a better standard in almost everything, but we should remember that a lot depends on your experience and on the correct approach to the work. Therefore, the development process and the manufacture of furniture should be divided into the following stages:

• The first part of the project is the design. At this stage the appearance of the product and its functional features. You can use ready-made forms developed over the centuries, transforming them under the existing size and interior. And you can create something of their own unique and copyright.

Creator of furniture need to have knowledge of material properties and design of which should be taken into account in project work.

• The second part of the project is the construction. Those. decision on how to technically implement the sketch into a functional and technological product. This includes the materials, methods of joining parts, according to the operating conditions and loads.

The most important thing - it is careful control of the size, a record of all clearances to walls and ceilings.

• The third part of the project - is the development of manufacturing technologies. You need to decide how and with the help of which make this or that detail of the future product, taking into account of the available tools. And in what sequence and then assemble furniture. For example, it is better to do first - painting or assembly.

The choice of material:

Often, the furniture made of spruce or pine, but it is good this stuff?

Alexander friedge:

- In the manufacture of furniture to be used, such as the types of wood - oak, beech, ash, maple. And at work it is necessary to remember that saving on some little things, you can easily spoil the overall impression from all this work.

Pine and spruce - this is more a structural material. And best of all, they are suitable for the manufacture of skeletons of houses, beams, rafters and sheathing of the house. Furniture is wood in its properties is too soft, and in appearance - too simple. From inexpensive breeds are best suited for furniture beech and - oak, ash, maple, larch.

An important rule - wood should be dry. There are two options: either buy a ready-made board drying chamber, either alone sawing wood into planks and dried.

A user of our forum with the nickname Natovich by personal example show - what can turn an old oak. After all, as practice shows, the main thing to take the first step!

- Why I stopped on oak furniture? I have worked with pine, it is much easier, faster results are predictable and boring. Yes, beautiful, but qualitatively. But I looked at it and forgot. So I chose a tree, which is better simply not to find. Strong, beautiful, with obvious positive energy - what else do you want?

Keep in mind that the fine oak dust is very toxic. And although he is no oak inflict health damage can not swallow dust during wood processing should not be!

Production of designer furniture is impossible without the use of products forged in the smithy, but there are some secrets.

Natovich:

–In the manufacture of furniture yaobhozhus just a grinder, hammer and anvil. Cold forging is hot you do not! And here we need a character!

Tools:

But, before you start making furniture with their hands, you need to understand what tools are needed for this. And if you can often hear the opinion that the more tools, the better - should still adhere to the golden mean.

Thus, a minimum set consists of the following tools:

• Electric drill with drill bits wood and metal;
• Electric jig;
• Cordless Screwdriver;
• Fraser approximately 1200-1300 watts;
• Screwdrivers and hammers;
• Rulers and triangles.

For marking excellent thin marker for CD-ROM drive.

Sometimes it happens that we have to work on the product, as appropriate isntrumenta not at hand, how to be in this case? As practice shows no hopeless situations, and there are many ways to solve a particular problem, for example - for sawing boards for the required angle in the absence of tortsovotsnoy saws can make homemade prisposlblenie - tsulagu and already it can help to make the cut at right you around the corner.

Often the novice master the question arises: Is it possible to somehow connect the wood products without using nails? You must agree that the cap may damage the appearance of the product.

Alexander friedge:

- The easiest way to use a dowel or slats. To connect to shkantah enough drills and watchful eye, and to connect to the lamellae need Jointers.

Painting:

To give the finishing product type needs to be painted, and there are some features.

Alexander friedge:

- When painting wood with acrylic paint, then a good result can be obtained using multoprenovy cushion of foam. Paint so - we put a lot of very thin layers with intermediate drying and easy sanding fine sandpaper. Do not grind only the last layer. If we paint coating based on oil or wax, you can try this: while the first layer has dried up just a little bit and still get dirty, apply a second layer. Thus we enable the first layer to absorb deeply, closing his second layer.

Painting - a field for experimentation.

Personal experiences of members of the forum

So what is the particular manufacturing of furniture with his own hands, or one might even say, the philosophy of this process?

Sergey Ilyin (Member FORUMHOUSE):

–What begins productionof furniture with his own hands?I guess you have to be curious.It's like a child - it is necessary to try, that is the metal that is wood, glass or plastic. The most difficult thing in the manufacture of furniture - a wish. And if you wanted to, to have patience and perseverance.

With self-manufacturing of furniture to avoid excessive complexity of its design - in fact more complex constructive, the harder it will continue to work.

And if the furniture manufacturing philosophy is the desire to take the first step along the way, what can be said about the pros and cons of self-production of furniture?

Sergey Ilyin:

- Often, during the construction of a private house there is a need for a wide variety of furniture and if you buy it, then it can lead to significant financial costs. Also, one of the advantages of self-production of furniture becomes the fact that it can be done gradually in accordance with the materials, technologies, and tools that you have.

Furniture self-production of different functionality, so how exactly do you best know what it should be. Also, furniture should not deliver a hassle.

The experience Sergey, Apply the following constructive approach in self-manufacture of furniture for your home - it collects it, screwing to the wall.

- The furniture in my house has no ceiling, and zamebelnogo podmebelnogo space, thus eliminating the the need to periodically clean the dust, which greatly simplifies installation and extends the useful square.

After assembling the bases, the front part of the closed facade.

Such an approach allows you to:

• Reduce manufacturing costs is not relevant in this case parts - rear wall, the top and bottom shelves.
• Furniture "bolted" to the wall is obtained an unusually strong even with a minimum of parts.
• In such furniture are no hidden cavities between the back wall and the wall between the bottom shelf and the floor, between the top shelf and the ceiling. So, there is no place where we could accumulate dirt.

As practice shows our customers, especially effectively looks made furniture antique.

–The interiors blend of aged wood, stone, metal, ceramics - a trendy, always taking place style. Allowing to plunge into eternity and feel like in the Middle Ages.

To look fresh wood centennial use of artificial aging of wood technology. What they do with the wood in vivo moisture, wind, temperature changes and the sun for decades, can be achieved by treating the wood in a special way.

Brushed - a preliminary stage for further texturing. The new board, subjected to brushing, will look like new, only with textured texture. But if the right cover board, it would seem that she had spent on the street for more than 15 years. It looks more natural dark color.

Therefore, the wood species with homogenous texture and unexpressed, such as maple and beech, are not suitable for the manufacture of furniture, antique, are most suitable for this process, respectively, soft and medium hardness of rock tree. For example, a pronounced texture of larch, spruce and pine.

At the final stage of the tree tinted if desired skins fine sandpaper, so that a tree structure became sharper and varnish. The result is a decorative elements on the one hand bearing the beauty of the past, but with another having high strength characteristics. After each item is unique, keeping the warmth of your hands!

As they say, either the longest road begins with the first step, and making furniture with their hands begins with a simple desire to realize his dream ...
