Manufacturing of bench-assembly table with his hands

Workbench and pasteboard - the necessary things in the arsenal of any handyman. Treated wood harvesting, gathering the original product, or furniture of a copyrighted work - these subjects is always a use. But if Workbench is most often associated with the picture shown below, the assembly table - a rare visitor in the home workshop.

In this case, the mounting table is vital for any craftsman, engaged in manufacturing wood products. No matter how carefully have been sawn or milled billet, the final operation - Assembly - determines the quality of the future object. Agree, shame if because of the skew workpieces or bad glued parts get married, and the work will go down the drain.

It was here - at the finish line, fully disclosed all the advantages of the pasteboard, but is not always possible to place in a limited area and workbench, and the assembly table. In this case it is possible to compromise - to combine the two functions in one object - a workbench-pasteboard.

albertfaktor (User FORUMHOUSE):

I am a professional chauffeur with 40 years of experience. In recent years he became interested in woodwork. In this case, the bench can not do without, but also to collect the product on the knee or floor-too is not an option. Quality is not. So I made a firm decision - to acquire universal desk. Looking at the price of industrial products and their desire to buy has disappeared completely. Nothing to do but to roll up our sleeves and do everything yourself.

The first thing that began to work albertfaktor - is the collection of all available information and develop their own concept of the table. After studying internet user to define your own preference. It remains only to build a table.

Nuances manufacturing assembly table-bench

Rejecting the use of pine boards, albertfaktor I opted for thick plywood as a more durable material. I went on tabletop 21 mm thick plywood and sheet size 1830h1520 mm.

To reduce all waste to a minimum, cutting the sheet as follows:

1. First cut from plywood countertop size 1800h900 mm.

2. The remainder of plywood cut into 3 pieces. 2 went to the preform sidewall countertops, and the third sawn in half - the ends.

One of the main requirements to the tabletop mounting table - increased rigidity. Box of 21 mm plywood in itself is already a robust design, but to increase the stiffness in his need to mount the partition. All elements of the table are fastened together SCREW (in upholstery screws) and planted on the glue.

Then marginalia jigsaw Scrollsaw holes boxes and worktop itself is marked for drilling holes for the mounting of different equipment.

albertfaktor:

Marking grid is superimposed with yacheoy 150 mm. I drilled holes in a staggered manner, Forstner drill bit with a diameter of 2 cm. Drilling is not often become. In my opinion, these holes is sufficient to clamp detail of any size, but they do not have on the strength of the impact of countertops.

In addition, on the side walls of the table are also drilled technological round and oval holes. They are needed for pressing (e.g., fastening G or F-shaped clamp) for gluing parts.

Moreover, such an interesting point - at the table manufacture albertfaktor I did not use the drawings, plans or sketches. Everything was done on the go, but guided by the adage "look before you leap, the same think again, but only cut once!".

At this stage already began to take shape the future contours of the table-bench. Also, the user previously provided this option is that the table need to move to another location. The assembled (with legs), it will not pass through the doorway, so the worktop and podverstache - two separate and detachable parts.

On the bench legs went plywood of 16 mm thickness (the other was not), and for connecting bolts purchased furniture "ten" (round head) of 4 to 6 cm.

albertfaktor:

Worktop and podverstache attached with corners. Because I did not want to look rustic feet, then made them into a semicircle bent metal ruler as a striper to adapt and draw an arc with a pencil. Drank one piece, I used it as a template to mark the rest of the legs.

For strength and rigidity of the "skeleton" of the mounting table leg supports amplified from pine boards and shrink interconnected spreaders.

Also leaving space for mounting the bottom shelf, which went glued furniture panels 2h0.4 m and taken board 95h20 mm lateral side. All fastening SCREW.

Work on the production of the table at the finish line. To design acquired great hardness, the master of the board glued-in extensions package of 2 pieces. But now, because of the thickness, stretching to fix the SCREW not get, I had to fasten them on the long screws and put on the glue.

In addition, we had to get out and bond stretching brace. Screws disappeared. Albertfaktor glued to each other 2 pieces of 16 mm thick plywood and sawed holes for the screws, thereby styanuv structure.

It remains only to glue around the perimeter of the table top plinth rails and fix guides for drawers and paint the product.

albertfaktor:

In principle, the table is ready, the rigidity is excellent, do not falter anything. I go through the stain, and then painted his Yachting varnish. This varnish wear-resistant and is not afraid of dampness. Beauty corners of the table I pasted a wooden area, which closed screws and corner joint plywood.

Because the table is "room for growth" - ie, with increasing skill and increase the complexity of the work, to it will do a variety of devices, such interesting moment as bystrozakreplyaemaya strap with nuts. Strap cut scraps remaining from plywood, rounded edges (for greater aesthetics), and It drilled holes for special furniture nuts that nail hammer plywood. The distance between the nuts - 300 mm. The third hole, the bolt is drilled exactly in the center. By this arrangement, considerably accelerated installation work to secure the parts.

albertfaktor:

If you need a nut to the bolt (hairpin) of the clip, and turn the bar combine with two holes in the table. Finished work - turn away the bar to the side. When tightening the bolts, when mounting components on a table nuts are only stronger pressed into the plywood and not jump out. A hole is drilled in the size of the nut tightly boarded up, and the "horns" will not allow it to rotate.
