Kitchen from the furniture panel with their own hands. Instructions for the manufacture of kitchen furniture

Arrangement of their home begins in all different ways. Let's skip the early stages of finishing works and imagine a kitchen apartment or a house without furniture. Many people in their life faced this stage. At this time, any information on the arrangement is very well absorbed. Of the two options - "buy" or "do it yourself" - we choose the latter decisively. What should be done immediately, and then what, and what materials and tools will become assistants? The answers to these and other similar questions will be given by this article.

Advantages of own furniture manufacturing

In order to be engaged in making furniture yourself, you do not need to be an experienced carpenter or carpenter. It is enough to have a good desire, time and, of course, tools. When you make kitchen furniture yourself:

• You get individual products of exclusive quality;
• Save money;
• You earn priceless experience;
• You get an incomparable pleasure from manual production.

Kitchen, created by specific standards, will ideally fit into individual sizes and complex curves, which in any other case can not be circumvented.

As for the time spent, it is not worth it. All efforts will pay off afterwards. It's like a long-term contribution to your future.

First steps

In order to start any business, you need to prepare. The more important the process, the more thorough the preparation. In our case, you should do the following:

• Determine the type and composition of furniture for the kitchen;
• Select materials and fittings according to plan;
• Prepare the necessary tools, buy the missing ones, if necessary.

In principle, the implementation of these items will lead to complete readiness for the beginning. Approach the process is worth it, well thought out. Some small things, left unattended, can subsequently take away a lot of time.

Kitchen from a furniture board by one's own hands: designing

The first thing that is necessary in any business is a plan or project. Is not an exception and furniture for the kitchen. At this stage are determined with the number of tables, cabinets, bedside tables, wall corners and shelves. Each element of the kitchen interior is detailed. It is necessary to represent the geometric dimensions on the circuits along the length, height and depth. You should also calculate the number of shelves and a variety of accessories. These are all kinds of pens, hinges, fastening elements of drawers, magnetic fasteners as needed.

It is worth considering whether your kitchen will have a built-in sink, stove or hob, oven or even a washing machine. Here, a decision is made about the facades, which are rather difficult to produce from the first time qualitatively and beautifully. In many cases, they are easier to buy. Also, you should think about the glass doors and shelves. If the plan requires it, they need to be purchased.

Based on the results of design, materials are purchased and furniture boards are cut. In the case of competent preparation, it remains only to collect everything cooked and purchased.

Furniture shield, materials

As the main material, let us dwell on the tree. Today, the best examples of wood are supplied as furniture boards. What it is? From the name you can guess that this is a wooden product in the form of a shield. This is the shield, most often glued from several parts to certain typical sizes.

The material can be used:

• oak;
• Birch;
• Pine;
• larch;
• aspen;
• beech;
• spruce;
• cedar.

Kitchen from the furniture panel, made by hand, the more convenient that there are a large number of standard sizes. The width of the shield varies from 200 mm to 600 mm in increments of 100 mm. Occasionally there are 250-mm variants. The length is chosen from the series: 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 2000, 2400 and 2700 mm. Therefore, the furniture board dimensions from 200x600 mm to 600x2700 mm. You can make it yourself.

Furniture shield with own hands

The panel from the array can be made with your own hands. Since basically there are only two options: glued and assembled, it is necessary to have either certain tools or high-quality glue, or better - both. In any case, it is important to pay special attention to the choice of material. First of all, it should be homogeneous in composition, with a minimum of knots, well dried and without deformations. Ideally, this material can be obtained from a dried log by sawing at an angle of 45 degrees.

Tools will require:

• plane;
• Saw, and ideally - a planer;
• Grinding machine with sandpaper of different granularity;
• level;
• Adaptation for gluing.

The furniture board, the dimensions of which are small, at home will be better. First, the bars are cut into the same size bars. Then, on a flat surface, the bars are laid out so that a beautiful pattern is obtained. After that glue on a tree (PVA) ends of bars accurately promazyvayutsya.Vsya design for gluing with wedges clamped. It is important that the bars from above are also pressed, at least by cross bars. This is necessary to prevent deformation at the time of drying.

The gluing of the furniture shield is the most important stage. After it, it remains only to grind the resulting variant first with a coarse-grained sandpaper, and then a shallow one. That's the whole technology. The furniture board is ready for use for its intended purpose.

Features of the kitchen, made of furniture boards

A kitchen made from a furniture board, manufactured by itself, will not only save material assets and improve the skills of manual production. In addition, there are a number of reasons to use just such material:

1. Aesthetic appearance. Products look almost the same as from a solid array of wood. At the same time they have a more attractive value. For example, the most expensive grade of pine furniture panel class A-A can be purchased for 1200 rubles, and class A-B - for only 750 rubles. Per square meter.

2. Practicality and durability. Products from the furniture board have a long service life. There are practically no defects such as buckling, deformation and cracks.

3. High ecological compatibility. For the manufacture of material from non-natural components, there is only a simple PVA glue. It is not released into the environment and does not cause harm. And since the basis of the furniture shield is clean wood, objects from it also regulate the humidity in the room where they are installed.

4. Large range of dimension series. Due to this, it is easy to design and manufacture furniture of any size and shape.

Required tools

So, there is a plan and a suitable material is chosen. It remains to prepare tools. Most often they are already at hand. This, of course:

- hacksaw for wood, electric jigsaw;

- plane;

- Grinding machine (grinder);

- electric drill;

- Chisel;

- Screwdriver or screwdriver;

- furniture stapler.

There are various variations, but this is the easiest and most convenient list to start with. Everyone at will can remove or add anything, depending on the planned kitchen. In order to use the tool, and especially the electric one, you should take into account the safety rules.

Instructions for the manufacture of furniture for the kitchen

Having dealt with the selection of materials and tools, you can proceed with the specific manufacture of furniture. Everyone who likes a set usually consists of such simple elements as:

• cupboard;
• table;
• Curbstone;
• Stool or stool;
• Shelves.

In this case, the cabinet from the furniture board can be both wall-mounted and floor-standing. For the first variant, it is often combined with a cutting table, which, in turn, harmoniously fits into the overall composition. The simplest item on the list is the shelves. They are rarely used separately in modern kitchens. Usually if there are hanging cabinets, the need for a simple shelf disappears. At the same time there are uncomfortable niches or small angles, where the shelf looks like a cheer.

You can start the set with such products as kitchen stools. They will help reveal the talents of the joiner and the furniture maker. After the hands get used to the instrument, you should go to the dinner table. Consider the sequence of actions in detail.

Kitchen table

The table from the furniture board is a very practical product for the kitchen. A simple rectangular version is easy to make from a solid shield. For the maximum typical size, this is 2700 by 600 mm. In the case of a smaller tabletop size, we simply cut off the extra millimeters with the help of the milling cutter from the furniture board.

If there is a desire to make a round table, it is worth taking two shields to the size of the radius of the planned product. Of each cut half. After that, using the cross bars, the halves are fixed in one piece. The joint is best to glue PVA, dry it, and then polish the front surface with a polishing machine . If you want, you can execute a variant with the expansion of the halves and the extension of the countertop due to a rectangular liner. Its length is determined by the diameter of the circle of the table, and the width is such as to extend the product.

Rectangular version of the table top also for beauty and convenience can be done with rounded corners. Then reinforce from below with stiffening ribs in the form of bars.

When the table top takes a finished look, the screw fasteners are fastened to it with the help of a screwdriver. If necessary, holes are drilled in advance. And then the legs themselves complete the appearance of the kitchen table. At the end, the product is finally ground and covered with several layers of varnish. After drying, furniture can be admired and enjoyed.

Wardrobe for kitchen

The cabinet, like other furniture created by oneself, may seem a complicated product at first, but each time it gets easier and faster. The drawing of any cabinet is a parallelepiped. The front plane is a facade and is often simply bought because of the difficulty in making decorative elements in the home. The rear plane is made of fiberboard to facilitate the construction. The remaining planes, perpendicular to the front and rear, are made from a furniture board.

Total for the assembly of the cabinet will be necessary:

- furniture shield;

- Fiberboard;

- material for shelves (wood, plywood, glass);

- handles, hinges, eurometers, screws and fasteners for shelves;

- lacquer.

A kitchen cabinet, created by oneself, in the sequence of actions will look like this:

• The dimensions of the selected shield are cut out lateral, upper and lower walls, as well as shelves, if they are in the plan of the same material;
• With the help of clamps (for convenience), the individual parts are rigidly joined, and then the fixing holes for the euro screws are drilled in them;
• The walls of the cabinet are tightened with screws, and the rear part of the fiberboard or plywood is fastened with clips or nailed in small carnations;
• With the help of loops a facade is attached to the cabinet, and then the handles are attached to it;
• The installation of shelves;
• The product is varnished, and this can be done both on the assembled cabinet and on separate parts (depending on the convenience).

Hanging Kitchen Elements

A kitchen set can have a different number of hanging elements. This is determined by ease of use and competent filling of living space. For example, a corner hanging cabinet will simultaneously ergonomically cover the corner and perform the basic function of storing a large number of kitchen utensils.

The main difference between the hinged elements in their attachment to the walls. In this case, you should calculate the weight of the cabinets or shelves along with the contents and fasteners. Most of the hinge is made for special loops, which are attached in the upper corners of the rear walls of cabinets.

It should be noted that if for the floor cupboards the lower part of the lower shelf was not visible, then for the hinged, on the contrary, it appears in the most prominent place. This should be taken into account when decorating.

Angles and furniture in the kitchen

Corner furniture for the kitchen is often just as necessary as a table and a hanging cupboard. It can be a corner sofa, a wardrobe or a simple hinged shelf. The main difference between the corner objects is the ability to smooth the unevenness of the walls. Kitchenette with shelves can be without a back wall, and the facade will have an angle with a side wall, different from the direct one.

All this affects the appearance and work. Visually more accurate corner objects require increased attention when assembling and designing.

Instead of concluding

As practice shows, the kitchen from the furniture board, created by oneself, is a materially profitable business that brings both pleasant moments and practical skills of working with tools. Products have increased individuality and exclusive design, suitable for a particular kitchen.

As for tips and instructions for assembling furniture, in most cases, a schematic drawing with dimensions is sufficient. Further, after clarifying the principles of fastening and assembling the constituent parts, everything is assembled without special difficulties. Having constructed and assembled a stool, it is clear how the table is going. And after you assemble the simplest cabinet, you can take on the designs of any cabinets. Accuracy and attentiveness - the key to successful work on the assembly.

Sometimes instead of separate cabinets it is easier to assemble a one-piece construction along one of the kitchen walls. In it can be placed and an oven, and a sink, and even a washing machine. There really is no limit to creativity. It's enough just to want and start doing. Everything else will follow.
