A stool is an integral part of everyday life,which is simply irreplaceable along with the countertop in the kitchen. Especially now folding chairs are very important, which by their design can be compactly placed in the trunk and used at the dacha, picnic or family rest. But in any case, no matter how universal it may be, a stool with its own hands is made with the use of the same tools, and on a similar principle. Today we will tell you in detail how to make a chair for the kitchen with your own hands.
How to make a stool with your own hands?
Drawings - that's what you need to prepare first.This drawing can look like anything (one of the examples is shown on the second photo), the main thing is to observe the correspondence of the sizes and indicate the length of each part of the object. After the drawing has been prepared, measure and cut out the boards according to the dimensions in the drawing. Cutting is best with the help of electric jig saw, as the usual mechanical often breaks the blade. And besides, with such a device, you just make it easier for yourself to work and save energy - for you everything will be done by a small electric motor.
Now it is necessary to cut the end part of eachfrom the harvested legs, while being guided by your own template (drawing). Do not use 3 legs at all, as this will make your stool less stable. For an average stool, you can use a 5-10 centimeter wide support board, depending on whether they are round, rectangular or square. The resulting legs should then be put on the threaded rod and tightened with clamps. In this case, the inner part of the supports must be processed with a file. But at this stage the answer to the question "how to make a folding stool with your own hands" is not over yet.
What to do next?
After all 4 legs were put onthreaded rod, you need to drill holes in their support beams under the dowels. Also it should be done with armrests, if such are provided in your design. The location of these holes is measured by means of a compass and a thicknesser. That the drill suddenly did not leave aside, pierce them in addition with an awl.
When the support bars and armrests weretreated with glue, they are put on dowels. You can connect them as follows: on the surface of the hammer attach a layer of rubber a few millimeters wide and periodically tapping the structure until it reaches the desired result. Also, as a lining, you can use a piece of cloth or the same wooden board.
How to achieve strength of joints?
For this you need to clamp the clamps assembledA chair between two auxiliary boards. In this case, the legs and arms are also pressed against this tool. For the latter, it is necessary to make gluing from the board approximately 20 millimeters. After that, it must be connected to the armrests. At the last stage, you should fix the device with dowels on one side, and with the other, throw the backrest onto the round bar to fix the structure in the unfolded state. Now we can assume that the stool has been successfully made by our own hands.
