How to make a stool with your own hands
Hand stool is a very practical tool that can be useful not only during repair, but also in construction. For what this device is used, how to use it and make it yourself, you will learn further.
What is a chair and what is it used for?
It is quite easy to use such a tool: you just need to put the element inside the chair, fix it and cut it at the desired angle with a small-tooth saw. However, this work has certain nuances. For example, you need to decide which corner you need: internal or external.
You can build such a product yourself, and you do not have to spend much time and material.
Advantages of homemade device
- you can build a design of different sizes, with different types of angles;
- for work the most durable material is used, which allows the product to be used for more than one year;
- Rapid manufacturing;
- a minimum of the initial material;
- the device can be made practically free of charge, if, of course, you have wooden boards left after some repair or construction.
The only nuance in the manufacturing process is the correct marking of the corners.
What tools and materials are needed to work?
The thickness of the boards for the product should be at least 2 cm.
Before making a chair, collect all the necessary tools:
- pencil, protractor and ruler;
- fine-grained skin;
- Drill with drills;
- Confirmates (Eurosurf);
- Vise;
- a hacksaw with small teeth (for sawing skirting boards).
In principle, these tools are enough. Naturally, you will need a hex key, thanks to which you can easily tweak confirmations.
Product design: step-by-step instruction
It is not difficult to build a chair with your own hands; you just need to make measurements and markings correctly. So, let's get to work:
- Prepared parts must be carefully ground to make them smooth and snug against each other.
- Now you can make a markup of future cuts. To do this, use a ruler, protractor and pencil. The process must be treated very responsibly, since it depends on the quality of processing plinths. In order for the markings on both sides to be the same, they must be precisely applied to each other. All slices must match exactly. Lock the sidewalls with the help of a vice.
- Next, make a mark on the middle of the elements: it is from this point and will be laid corners.
- Now you need a protractor to work. Using it, in both directions from the central mark, we lay corners at 45 and 90 degrees.
- After the end of the marking, you can start cutting the holes. Use for this you need a hacksaw for metal. The fact is that it has very small teeth and will make the cut as flat as possible. Further, it can be slightly expanded with a carpenter's hacksaw. The depth of the cut should be slightly more than half the stool. Note that the inner surface of the slots should be perfectly smooth, so it needs to be ground.
- Lastly, you need to cut out the base of the tool and attach the side pieces to it. To fix the elements, you can use confirmations or glue. In addition, for greater strength of the product, it is desirable to use both methods of attachment simultaneously.
This is how the chair is made with their own hands.
How to choose the right saw for the tool?
You should also take into account and the material that you will saw, For example, for polyurethane skirting finest fine-metal blade for metal. It's good if the hacksaw has a strong and comfortable handle. Otherwise, you will quickly get tired.
Helpful Tips
As you can see, everyone can make a chair with their own hands, but you also need to consider some of the nuances of the process. For example, if you want to make a collapsible tool, do not use glue to bond parts. It is enough to fix all the elements with confirmations.
If the tool is stationary, then it must be well attached to the base platform. That is, at the base of the product holes are made, and it is firmly screwed to the table. However, if you want the device to be free to move and do not travel on the base surface, a piece of rubber or other material can be nailed to the underside of the chair, which will prevent the tool from sliding.
During the manufacture of the tool, it is necessary to correctly calculate the width of its base. It also depends on the size of those products that will be processed. Now you know how to build a chair with your own hands. Good luck!
