Hello! The number of subscribers "Podelkin" has already exceeded 500 people! It gives me extra incentive to move forward and develop their creativity. We heartily thank everyone for their support and kind words!

Recently, the site PinterestI came across an interesting wooden baskets that struck me with its beauty and unusual form. Of course, I was interested in trying to make them yourself. For the manufacture of such baskets suitable plywood or wood panels 8-10 mm thick. For a couple of days, I made a few baskets and the result I was very pleased.

In the living, they look much more impressive than the photo! In today's article I will tell you, how to make these wooden baskets using jigsaw machine.

In the manufacture of baskets is no big deal. you can take a ready-made template for their production (where to find the blueprints for cutting?

) Or do it yourself. Basket consists of identical shapes, inscribed in a circle, which gradually decreases. Consider the manufacturing process for the basket consisting of three circles.

Glue pattern on the plywood by using double-sided tape or masking tape and drill hole drill a thickness of 1 - 1.5 mm rings on each line, somewhere in the corner. Holes is better to go on the same line, and offset, so that after cutting out of these places are not so conspicuous. In the picture I drew in pencil the hole.

Once the preparatory phase has been completed to begin cutting. I used for cutting saws Ultra Reverse №1 (More on the quality of the machine file for jigsaws read here). Start to cut more convenient with large ring (at least I thought so), but you can start with the smallest (from the middle).

After sawing get many rings, which must be carefully sanded with sandpaper.

Next stacked rings with a small turning on each other (basket is convoluted spirally) and glued together with PVA glue. In order for laying the glue did not have time to harden, you first need to put rings and a pencil to mark their location, and then later on labels stacked and glued together.

After placing the baskets it is necessary to pin down some weight.

After 1.5 - 2 hours, wooden baskets are fully prepared! For these baskets, you can pick up any pattern. It all depends on your imagination.
