Summer - it's great, sometimes you want to soak up the sun or just lie down. To do this, there are sun loungers. Wife asked to buy a chaise longue at the party. Buy! How simple and complicated. First - marketing research. Plastic immediately swept aside. Plastic and his house in the village. Not gud. What is more or less interesting, worth the money, big money. The search resulted in one online resource storehouse of ideas and tips. I chose the post with the drawing and slightly corrected to suit our needs and sizes.

Lounger Dimensions: length - 1800 mm, width - 1000 mm. The most time-consuming step - manufacturing of "ski" is the basic structural element, which is totally dependent and ease deck chairs, and its strength and durability. Skiing tora boards made of 100 × 20 × 3000 mm, each assembled from two layers, a single layer of the three elements. Details of the patterns are cut in the actual size, between elements are fixed and glued shkantami furniture moisture-resistant glue PVA. Sami skiing glued under load.

Ski joined wooden crosspieces - cut handles for garden tools (approximately 20 mm in diameter).

A support for the lounger collected from timber 50 × 100 mm, on the both elements sufficed three meters. As in the rug, in support of the cutting bridge. For fixing the lounger in several positions on the frame under the jumper selected grooves, and a support-installed dowel guides. Finished a frame attached to the support metal pin M12 (diameter 12 mm), this through-connection is additionally strengthened construction. By studs fixed decorative nuts.

After fitting in a frame covered with two layers of protective and decorative impregnation in oak color.

For plating lounger in construction hypermarket acquired battens 20 × 40 mm in size cut up the miter saw. I fastened with screws to the frame rails - pre-drilled holes and lubricates the same joiner's glue PVA.

Finally ready covered lounger specialized oil for timber, designed to protect the terraces and outdoor wood furniture from external influences. Lounger turned bicolor - support and frame in oak color and lining natural color, oil only emphasized the natural texture. Consumption means the minimum - in the sunbed all took only 100-150 grams in a three-layer painting.

Actually - all, and the product is ready to give your favorite. Reaction - raptures. Despite a wooden bed, chaise lounge very comfortable. All summer long stood in the street, in the rain and sun - no changes or damage. The only improvement - for comfort sewn thin mattress of a water-resistant material.

As for the price issue, it is compared to the purchase of plastic counterparts even without talking about wood, it is "a cheap":

• Board for the support (50 × 100 × 3000 mm) - 149 rubles.
• Board frame (20 × 100 × 3000 mm) - 225 rubles (3 pieces).
• Rail for sheathing (20 × 40 × 3000 mm) - 644 rubles (14 pieces).
• Glue (joiner waterproof PVA) - 140 rubles (250 grams).
• Hardware (nuts, washers, pins) - about 400 rubles.

• A protective oil - 680 rubles (residues enough for a lot of follow-crafts).

In view of the dowels, screws and drill oxidized, the budget was about 2500 rubles.

As noted tora, he is not a pro and an amateur, without a specialized workshop, with the room, which only claim to this role, and a minimal set of tools. Nevertheless, the presence of desire and optimized drawing is realistic with your hands to make functional and decorative furniture high quality. That he has been.

I want to share my experience of manufacturing a rocking chair, perhaps someone this information will come in handy. The product is a pilot, it was not before this experience. I took as a basis Curved design.

And in this case to use wood - pine. Capillary He considers that fit any breed, but more durum slats should be thinner. manufacturing parts common algorithm:

• Napilit sipe width desired, up to 8 mm thick.
• Pare the two sides in the gauge.
• Trim to size.
• Apply glue.
• Place the packet (6-8 pieces), giving form.
• Pinch clamps on the form.

Capillary

Pressed against one of the edges of the stack to form a clamp, on the edge of the second press arm and also grab a clamp, and her darling, have already dragged out the screw. Specifying a shape along the length of the entire pack screw clamp pull together at a distance of 10-15 cm.

Form itself makes it separately under each curve of the cut boards 25 mm vypilivaya desired shape electric jigsaw. To get the desired thickness, cut out two identical shapes and connects them to the bars. To save the curvature, the bars should be the same size.

After drying, the adhesive preform to be treated again in the gauge or hand tool, in the absence of the machine. lamella Capillary sawed on band saw, remaining after construction of the house.

Unfortunately, the first chair to be interesting, but traumatic, and in the manufacture of a rather complicated construction. therefore Capillary for round bottom runners filled the restrictive bar, after which the ride was safe, but the following simplified structure.

One of our idea forumchanok also lit manufacturing rocking chairs - from the drawing it with spouse implementation of plywood, thickness 20 mm.

Searching the Internet, I grabbed some general principles in the manufacture of chairs, rocking chairs, conjured with a pencil and eraser, and drew what I would like. Hooray! Her husband liked it, he caught fire and started manufacturing.

Get the original chair.

And functionally - for several years, used for its intended purpose. The only caveat - if a family has young children, seats planting should be understated, as adults are satisfied.

Furniture made with their hands, often in no way inferior to the factory, and sometimes superior to serial products, as is "by itself". A lack of experience is compensated diligence and desire to get this experience, not only in theory, studying topics more advanced members of the portal, but also in practice, to realize their own ideas.

His hands can be done not only fixed, but also mobile furnishings, for example - Garden swing. Also, do not be superfluous makeshift bed or roomy closet. In the video - how to make the gazebo brutal table.
