Little things made of wood. An overview of the most original wood products. Do-it-yourself wooden souvenirs - photo

No matter how many new synthetic materials for construction and decoration appear, wood remains indispensable and loved at all times. From plastic and pliable wood, carpentry masters continue to create their masterpieces. Today we will tell you what unexpected things you can do from wood with your own hands and give a link to the drawings.

wooden curtains

The Venetian artist Livio De Marchi carves anything from ordinary wood species - from a hat to a car.

He makes his masterpieces in full size. Sometimes it is very difficult to distinguish his works from real things. The master keeps his wooden collection in a special wooden house, inside of which everything is also made of wood, including dishes, tablecloths and curtains made of wood with their own hands.

How to make garden furniture

Even if you don't have the artistic talents to the extent that you don't want to spend money on garden furniture, try making your own. Sometimes it is really, simpler than ever and does not require any drawings and diagrams. Ordinary boards and bent metal legs - that's it coffee table. For such projects, you can also take small bars that are stacked in a checkerboard pattern.

Logs folded in a certain order - here you have chairs with a table.

From a dry tree you get an original hanger. In extreme cases, a log with “hooks” of branches is also suitable. Remove the bark, treat with antiseptics, paint in the color you need. At the end of the project, forget to "plant" the tree on a strong pin with a heavy base.

DIY wooden interior

Here's a wallpaper of logs cut across. Cut blanks from thick branches of dry trees. Attach them to the wall with liquid nails. Open with varnish. The original eco-decor is ready!

One craftsman decorated a chest of drawers with bark rings - it looks original and fabulous!

And this family of cabinets is on a walk - and the decor is unusual, and it will fit for storing every little thing.

Don't throw away the legs old furniture, suddenly someday you will make a new centipede coffee table out of them. Funny and original.

And these three multi-legged tables were created by Korean designer Chul An Kwak. The idea of ​​two of them was inspired by galloping horses, and the third was presented by a working excavator.

Two old chairs can give birth to a new bench. Place them opposite and sheathe them with boards so that the beautiful backs of the chairs serve as bench handles.

Designer things made of wood

And these designer chairs handmade from a series of Skeleton Rocking Chairs worth $3,120 each were sold at auction. Rocking chairs in the form of realistic skeletons, as they say, for an amateur. Not everyone will relax in the arms of a bony handsome man, except perhaps extreme people and fans of horror films.

If you need original wall shelf, able to go around any corners, make it yourself! The price of the project is six boards.

A wall mirror that turns into a folding table is very handy thing in home. And it is quite possible to make it with your own hands. You will need two sheets of plywood 2 cm thick measuring 80 x 60, a mirror 60 x 40, metal hinges - 4 pieces, two hooks, acrylic varnish. We measure 10 cm from the edge along the perimeter of the plywood sheet. We drill holes in the corners with a drill. Using a jigsaw, cut out a rectangle drawn on plywood. So we made a leg for a folding table, which will also serve as a frame for a mirror.

Now cover the table top and table leg acrylic varnish. Attach the folding table leg to the tabletop with two metal hinges. Attach two more hinges to the back of the other end of the countertop so that the mirror can be hung on the wall. Down with a mirror surface, exactly in the center of the countertop, place the mirror. Glue double-sided construction tape around its perimeter. Turn the mirror over and lay it on the countertop according to the markings, which is the adhesive tape. Attach the hinges on the tabletop to the wall. The leg on a table-top is fixed by two hooks.

Australian artist Cornish Adam created a plywood hammock. The hanging structure is 15 layers of birch plywood, between which rubber washers are located for shock absorption.

Unremarkable building pallets turn out to inspire craftsmen endlessly fantasize about garden furniture.

wooden utensils

To make a knife stand in the form of a medieval knight, you do not need expensive materials, professional woodworking skills are also not needed. Standard kit, 15mm birch plywood and patience is all you need. The figure of a knight consists of two identical sidewalls and one middle part, which are fastened together with glue and wooden spikes with a diameter of 6 mm. Holes for spikes are deaf, 8 mm deep. To keep sharpening for knives, take Neodymium magnet 25x5 mm. Cut a hole in the knight's helmet, glue a magnet into it, and a plywood plug on top.

The knight's shield is assembled from two identical parts, as well as the base of the stand. In the shield, you need to make through rectangular holes for the knight's arms, and at the base - for his legs. Then slots are cut in the shield for specific knives available in your kitchen. The finished stand can be varnished or painted with acrylic paints.

A real working wooden excavator will no doubt delight your children. With a length of 83 cm and a width of 68 cm, the toy works on the principle of leverage. The product consists of two parts - a base and a cabin with a bucket. The shovel bucket can be controlled by levers on a nylon rope. The base is a platform that rotates around its axis by 360 °. The counterweight log maintains the stability of the structure.

Own - the dream of many craftsmen who want to get decent money and who know how to work with their hands. First of all, a novice entrepreneur needs to decide what exactly he wants to do: stone carving, making souvenir magnets, or wooden products with your own hands. The last option is one of the most profitable today: wood is an environmentally friendly and beautiful material, if processed correctly, that is in demand both among connoisseurs of “natural” jewelry and those who are simply interested in everything unusual.

In addition, do-it-yourself wooden products: unlike bulky metal or stone ones, they are easy to ship and even pass customs control without any problems. It goes without saying that in order to organize production at home and subsequent sale, the master will have to purchase the appropriate equipment and deal with advertising issues. What you need to start and what profit you can count on - let's try to figure it out.

What can be made from wood for sale - photo

Despite the widespread opinion on the Global Network, it is best (at least at the beginning of a business) to make from wood not large items like furniture or doors, but relatively small ones: there is much less competition in this niche, and the master has more opportunities to prove himself. In addition, it is technically and physically easier to make a wooden trinket, and even if it does not work out, the entrepreneur can throw away the workpiece with peace of mind without worrying about the ruined material and wasted time.

  • souvenirs: key rings, magnets (or frames for magnets), congratulatory inscriptions and even portraits;
  • decorative gizmos: sculptures, carved paintings, salaries for icons, netsuke (can also be used as key rings), copies of world masterpieces of architecture (St. Basil's Cathedral, Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal, and so on);
  • decorative utensils and household items: carved vases, jugs, candlesticks, stands for smoking sticks, caskets, rolling pins, cutting boards, cups, bowls, dishes, plates;
  • board games: checkers, chess and backgammon with all sorts of variations, chips, dice and other necessary equipment;
  • jewelry: beads, carved and painted, bracelets, rings, hairpins and combs;
  • a variety of children's toys: cubes, cars, trains, dolls, designers and more - everything that comes to mind and that is in demand on the market.

Advice: do not refuse individual offers - by default, they bring more profit than products produced for sale with their own hands in droves.

If a craftsman specialized in making wooden rings, are asked to decorate the door with carvings (and he has the appropriate equipment), why not agree? It may be that this work will become a new stage in his career - and if it fails, the entrepreneur can always return to the old occupation.

Stages of building your business

Now, having firmly decided on the sale of wood products, you can begin to implement your plan. The first stage when starting your own business, if only the master really wants to succeed, is. This document, thought out, calculated and well written, will help a novice entrepreneur to attract investors or get a loan for the development of a project; after all production equipment, as well as renting a room or workshop, costs a lot of money, and not everyone will have the right amount at their disposal.

In addition, the business plan great way systematize entrepreneurial activity: only in this way, imagining what to do tomorrow, in a week and in a year, a businessman will be able to fully devote himself to the main work, without being distracted by small organizational problems. It will not work to get rid of them completely, however, the less these questions will bring down the master, the easier it will be for him - and the more profit he will be able to count on.

Advice: an entrepreneur can find a suitable organization for the manufacture and sale of wooden items on the Internet. If there is a desire to create your own (unique and inimitable) project, it is better to involve an experienced specialist or consultant in the work: a well-written document is a guarantee of the favor of creditors and investors and the successful start of the project.

Business registration

Surely the entrepreneur guesses that he will have to pay taxes. In some cases, it will be required, in others - income tax and other deductions to the budget; but no visit tax office can't get by.

Excluding the shadow business, the master can choose between three options for dealing with the Federal Tax Service:

  • do not register as individual entrepreneur or a legal entity, thus moving into the category of self-employed - the laws governing this method of making a profit have not yet been worked out, which means that the craftsman who has chosen him will face many surprises from the state;
  • register as an individual entrepreneur, and then pay taxes on income under the general or one of the available simplified schemes;
  • registering a legal entity (a company, a limited liability company or even a joint-stock company) is a complicated path that imposes many additional obligations and restrictions on the business owner, and therefore it is not worth choosing it, at least until there are serious reasons for that.
  • enter into contracts for the provision of services or the sale of wood products with individuals, intermediaries (agents), small, medium and large businesses on legal grounds;
  • hire employees: auxiliary workers, apprentices, accountants, lawyers, marketers, and so on - up to the driver and loader;
  • switch from an inconvenient and in most cases unprofitable general taxation system to a simplified one, for example, “Income minus expenses”;
  • avoid bureaucratic obstacles: in order to register an individual entrepreneur, in particular, you do not need to start statutory documents or look for co-founders.

So, a craftsman who wants to make wooden products for sale with his own hands, acting as part of an individual business, needs to:

  1. Come to the local branch of the IFTS with a passport and TIN and submit an appropriate application on form P21001. Or, which is much more convenient, fill out an online form on the official website of the Federal Tax Service. On several pages of the electronic application, the applicant must indicate:
    • their surname, name and patronymic, if the latter is available;
    • date and place of birth;
    • address of residence (registration);
    • contact details: mobile or landline number and email address;
    • information about the identity document: series, number, date of receipt, name and code of the unit that issued the passport (foreign passport, etc.);
    • proposed types of activity according to the OKVED 2 classifier: main and (optionally) several additional ones;
    • other information requested by the system.
  2. Based on the completed online questionnaire, the previously mentioned form P21001 is formed; at this stage, the applicant can print it out and personally come to the Federal Tax Service or continue with remote registration - the latter is preferable, since only a couple of steps remain to the end.
  3. Pay the state fee, which in 2018 is 800 rubles. This can be done by printing a receipt and going to the nearest bank branch or also online - in the latter case, by logging in through the State Services, the user will be able to save 30% of the specified amount.
  4. After transferring money to the budget and sending an online questionnaire, a novice entrepreneur must be patient: you will have to wait for a response from the Federal Tax Service within three to five working days from the date of application.

If the applicant complies with all the conditions and requirements, the decision of the Federal Tax Service is usually positive; now, upon receipt of a response, the master should personally appear at the local tax office in order to receive a package of documents confirming registration and certifying his right to conduct commercial activities.

The next step, if you plan to organize a mass sale of hand-made wood products, is to obtain a certificate from Rospotrebnadzor. In addition, an entrepreneur renting production room or a workshop, with some probability it will be necessary to take permission from the State Fire Supervision, especially if they have an entrance for buyers.

All the formalities will take on average from a month to three; in order not to waste time, a businessman can, in parallel with obtaining permits, look for staff, form an assortment, or even open an online store: then the sale of products “on the spot” can be combined with remote.

Room search

The premises for a carpentry workshop focused on the manufacture of the above types of products must meet the following criteria:

  1. Square. The larger the scale of production and the more workers the entrepreneur hires, the more space is needed; but even if the craftsman will work alone, it is necessary to take into account the place for machines, workbenches, tables and other equipment, as well as for the placement of raw materials and working space. Minimum recommended area - from 60 square meters; if the master plans to produce only small homogeneous wooden objects, such as rings, beads and rolling pins, he can get by with a room in an apartment - realizing that with the expansion of production, the issue with the area will inevitably have to be resolved.
  2. Ceiling height. It is important, first of all, in industrial premises and workshops intended for the manufacture of dimensional objects from wood with their own hands or with the help of hired workers; if we are talking about decorative items, souvenirs or small kitchen utensils, you can get by, as in the previous case, regular room in the apartment. A craftsman working on cubes or miniature sculptures will only need one table and a few tools for the activity - which means it makes no sense to rent large areas, spending a fair amount of investment and income on this, there is none.
  3. natural light. But this point is much more important. Working with wood, with its complex texture and constant ability to detect a defect, requires good lighting, ideally natural, the safest for the human eye. This does not mean that the artificial can be abandoned; but without windows on the sunny side, it is almost impossible to achieve good results (and, consequently, organize the mass sale of wood products).
  4. Energy supply. Another the most important parameter, especially if the master plans to use machines: milling or tape, trimming or grinding. In most cases, such equipment is not only bulky (and therefore not suitable for placement in an apartment), but also requires power not in the standard 220, but in 380 volts. In principle, it is possible to equip one or two sockets with such a voltage in an apartment, however, coupled with an electric furnace and washing machine they can create an unnecessary load on the home network, which will eventually lead to a short circuit, if not a fire. However, there is a way out: a craftsman specializing in the manufacture of small wooden items can purchase mini-machines that are already on the market in sufficient quantities. Not only are they lighter and easier to maintain, but they are also quite often rated for standard voltage, which eliminates the problem entirely.
  5. Ventilation. Wood processing is always associated with the release of chips of all fractions, from large to fine, almost dust. Part of it remains in the air, negatively affecting health; to avoid consequences, it is recommended to install at least an exhaust hood in the room, or better, a complete air conditioning system. A novice businessman has a choice while he works alone; with the hiring of employees, the installation of the equipment necessary for normal operation becomes mandatory. Already when looking for a room, it is worth paying attention to the presence of a hood or the ability to install it: foresight shown in time will help to avoid difficulties in the future.
  6. Price. This is both the most important and the most underestimated factor. In order not to overpay for the rent of a production facility or workshop, a businessman who does not intend to set up a store or kiosk nearby can rent an area in a worse area and away from the center. If the production of souvenirs and household items is planned to be combined with the sale, you will have to look for a more fashionable place - and hope that the profit from sales will pay off the rental costs.
  7. Terms of employment. Before concluding an agreement, it is highly recommended to clarify with the landlord on what conditions he agrees to rent out the production premises. Otherwise, it may be necessary to look for a new workshop a couple of months after the lease - which, of course, cannot have a positive impact on labor productivity and, as a result, profits.

It is impossible to say which room is ideal for production: one or two rooms in an apartment will be enough for someone; someone will need an entire workshop with a room for storing wood. The master, who already knows what he wants to do with his own hands from wood, must independently choose the best option for himself, guided by the criteria given.

Advice: optimal time lease - one year; the contract can then be either renegotiated or terminated (instead of moving from place to place every few months).

Purchase of equipment

Depending on the specialization, the master may need:

  1. Machines for sawing and cutting wood: band saw, circular saw, jointer and trimmer. The first three varieties are usually used to work with the source material: unsawn boards and round timber. The latter is for cutting small workpieces; if in the manufacture of furniture or cabinets all the specified equipment is needed, then for rings, beads, rolling pins or figures it will be enough trimming machine- it is a must-buy in a full-size or portable version.
  2. Woodworking machines: milling, thicknessing, grinding, polishing and others. Without the first two (again, when making small items with your own hands), it is quite possible to do; grinding wood, like polishing, is an integral stage of production, and therefore, in any case, a novice entrepreneur will have to spend money on the last two machines, in whatever performance. It is not necessary to purchase industrial models; for work at home, “desktop” versions of machine tools are enough - fortunately, there has not been a shortage of them for a long time.
  3. Tools for manual processing wooden blanks : saws, hammers, chisels, mallets, planers and jigsaws (simple and electric), drills and screwdrivers, screwdrivers, tape measures and so on - they have no number, and all of them will be in demand to one degree or another. In addition, it is recommended to purchase a good square, protractor and plumb line - without these tools it will be impossible to obtain high-quality blanks. Despite another popular belief, it is not necessary to purchase only quality products. well-known manufacturers; part of the tool, such as a tape measure and screwdrivers, can be considered as consumables and can be changed as needed without overpaying for "branding".
  4. Brushes for working with substances for the chemical treatment of wood: anti-mold solutions, stain, white spirit, drying oils, varnishes, paints and so on.
  5. Tables and workbenches for marking boards and plywood and directly working with wood with your own hands.

Now, having everything necessary for work, the master can proceed to the next step - the purchase of raw materials: different types of wood, plywood, veneer and glued boards.

Purchase of raw materials

A few tips for choosing wood and related materials:

  1. Primary wood requires more time to prepare for production, but it costs less. It includes: round timber, raw branches, logs and other materials from which it is impossible to obtain a blank in one action.
  2. The purchase of recycled wood allows you to save time and effort, and if the craftsman makes souvenirs and utensils at home, you just need to: install in the apartment sawing machine, without causing surprise and reasonable criticism of neighbors, will not succeed. Recycled wood is boards, lumber, plywood, veneer and other materials - everything from which you can immediately start crafting.
  3. For the manufacture of small carvings, including beads, rings, chess pieces and caskets, most in the best way suitable soft wood: cedar, spruce, pine, poplar, willow, alder, chestnut and linden. If it is expected that the thing will be in active use, but not associated with serious mechanical stress, it is recommended to use medium-hard wood: birch, pear, beech, larch, apple, ash, elm or mountain ash. If the item made by the master must have a special wear resistance, you should purchase expensive, but necessary for high-quality work, boxwood, dogwood, olive, acacia or hornbeam. In addition, it is strongly recommended to consult with the customer, and, if possible, demonstrate to him the texture of the wood used. The more foresight the master shows, the sooner the number of his clients will grow - which means the more income will be.
  4. The most important factors in the selection of wood are moisture content and the number of defects. Wood suitable for processing should be naturally dry: not damp, but not cracked from lack of water. And if it is possible to correct the increased moisture content, then a tree with cracks must be discarded immediately: it is guaranteed not to go into work. Raw wood, if there is no mold or signs of decay on it, can be dried in a gentle mode, and then treated with a solution from mold. The same applies to defects: it is almost impossible to find a material without a single flaw, so the master should imagine in advance how he will cope with a particular problem. If there are too many defects, and it is impossible to disguise them during processing, the purchase must be abandoned: no matter how attractive the price is, the entrepreneur will lose more on trying to hide the defect or as a result of the customer’s refusal to pay for a low-quality product.
  5. It is also important to take into account the structure of the tree: curly, straight-layered or layered, as well as amorphous. The smoother the arrangement of the fibers, the easier it is to process the wood and the stronger the surface of the product will be; at the same time, the drawing of the craft will, in comparison with other options, be boring; sometimes it makes sense to prefer sophistication to simplicity and quality. Ideally, the master needs to have an agreement with several suppliers and samples of the material they offer, so that the buyer or customer can imagine in advance what awaits him at the exit.
  6. Price. For ordinary crafts made by hand not to order, you do not need to purchase expensive wood; rather more affordable, "travelling" species like pine - as practice shows, for the buyer greater value does not have a product design, but the quality of processing. If the master plans to make souvenirs or household items to order, it is worth agreeing with the buyer on the nuances of the work, warning him about the inclusion in the check of the costs of searching, acquiring and processing exclusive material.

Important: in some cases, cracks in a treated wood, such as oak, are considered a sign of quality. In the domestic market, such ideas are still not widespread enough, therefore, an entrepreneur who anticipates such problems should inform the customer in advance about possible deformations and obtain his consent to start work.

Approximate expenses and income

It is impossible to accurately estimate the expenses and incomes of a craftsman who makes wooden souvenirs for sale with his own hands. Russian prices for equipment and raw materials are constantly changing, and, as the master can see, not less; in addition, the final costs depend on the current and long-term needs of the businessman.

On average, to start a project you will have to spend:

  • for renting premises - 20–45 thousand rubles;
  • for the purchase of machine tools - 50-400 thousand rubles;
  • for the purchase of other equipment - 15-100 thousand rubles;
  • for the purchase of consumables and fasteners - 5–15 thousand rubles;
  • for the purchase of raw materials - 5–20 thousand rubles;
  • for other expenses - up to 50 thousand rubles.

To the same extent, it is impossible to predict how much income the entrepreneur will receive in the first and subsequent months. It all depends on his efforts, the quality and variety of the goods offered, the purchasing power of the local population and other factors, the dynamics of a number of which have recently been disappointing.

On average, working a full week, an entrepreneur will be able to receive from 30 to 100 thousand net profit per month- not so much, but not so little compared to other ways of making money on sales.

Where to look for distribution channels for finished products?

To find buyers, an entrepreneur can:

  • , others social networks and on specialized sites and forums;
  • to place announcements about the offered products in paper and electronic media, on announcement sites, as well as in the running line of the local TV channel and on the radio;
  • with the most detailed catalog of wooden products, their descriptions, prices, taking into account various promotions (you can’t forget about marketing) and useful articles in the theme of the site;
  • take care of outdoor advertising: from simple ads and handouts, including Business Cards and leaflets, to billboards and streamers;
  • try to establish links with stores and retail chains;
  • hire an agent (intermediary) who will search for clients and prepare business and accompanying documentation;
  • give a few handmade trinkets and household items to friends, acquaintances and colleagues; those, having assessed the quality of the products, will tell their friends about them, which will ultimately bring additional customers to the entrepreneur.

There is no ready-made sales recipe: a craftsman who makes wooden objects with his own hands needs to build marketing policy or, if this is too difficult, seek help from a specialist.

What are the requirements for wood products?

There are no special requirements for wooden items made by the piece or to order. They, like any other product, must be safe for the health of customers, durable and aesthetic; all this is implied by default.

In order to know what to focus on, the entrepreneur is obliged to familiarize himself with the GOSTs for similar products manufactured by him, bearing in mind that these requirements are minimal; the more its products will differ from the "normative" in better side the more successful he will be.

Summing up

Do-it-yourself wood products can be made for sale both at home and by renting a production facility or workshop. The first step of a novice businessman is registration as an individual entrepreneur or legal entity. Then you should obtain permission from state authorities: Rospotrebnadzor, Gospozhnadzor and others.

Simultaneously with registration, an entrepreneur can begin to look for premises, purchase production equipment, consumables and raw materials. You should not choose too expensive wood for "flow" products; this should only be done in consultation with the customer. To establish sales, it is recommended to place ads on social networks, on specialized sites, as well as build relationships with points of sale and distribute information about the product through friends, relatives and acquaintances.

The wooden product is durable, never loses its relevance.

A little more about the topic that unexpectedly turned out to be my favorite - products (both furniture and handicrafts) made of wood. You can decorate the room in different ways. The interior is decorated with wooden birds - they are noteworthy example unusual decor which you can do yourself if you wish.

Male creativity. Admire the unusual original, one-of-a-kind design works - these are tables, in the manufacture of which saw cuts with cracks, bark, tree roots are used. Everything that was previously considered unnecessary was thrown away, now it is used. And it turns out, I'll tell you, it's not bad at all!

For a baby, such a wooden toy as a sailboat can be made by dad, and those who are older can help in making crafts. Wood will be required with a gulkin nose, the main material is a piece of a bamboo trunk. Children love to play with water. And adults will help to make a floating boat craft.

Collected "from the world on a thread" - what I managed to see and photograph lately. Ideas on how to make "bird houses" - birdhouses, as well as bird feeders with your own hands. Here you will find many interesting products from natural wood. Something a creative person can certainly learn from here.

Lovely lamps - wooden candlesticks made of logs with wood and bark, birch or other types, so that even the type of wood is immediately visible, are now extremely popular. This also applies to other products - household items and just decor, made using natural materials.

Woolen wooden animal figurines (there are lambs, foxes, hedgehogs, bunnies, owls, chickens, elks) are very diverse, they can be used as toys or as room decor items. Mostly men can boast of such gizmos, these are men's crafts, although children can also help decorate them.

This "humanoid" baby, accidentally seen in a Norwegian village, could not leave me indifferent. I immediately grabbed the camera. Someone did a great job making a brownie from natural materials.
Interesting in this case is the simultaneous use of chaga - a fungus that grows on dead wood and fur waste. How to make such a craft in the form of a figurine?

Examples wooden floors from saw cuts look very impressive. See photos of finished works using wood of various qualities, as well as a short description possible process fittings and fillings. I think it will inspire you as much as it did me.

I met a charming educational children's wooden toy once at the Christmas market in the city of Regensburg, when I was visiting there.
As it turned out, such or similar ones are also made and sold in exotic countries, the idea is not new, only the execution is completely different.

You can easily find materials for this cute smiling naive piglet in the forest or at their summer cottage. Such logs - long saw cuts of a tree - are not uncommon. It can be used for crafts in the form of animals, both small in diameter and larger.
They are made almost the same for both the boar and the mouse, only slightly different ears, the shape of the nose and the location of the eyes.

It's all about turning, joinery made of wood, mostly handmade - from solid wood, pieces or plywood. Original souvenirs, wooden crafts, figurines, toys, interior vases, feeders, bird houses, cut, cut, slabs, fungus, wood with bark. I also included here unusual items furniture - tables, chairs, carving, painting on wood. Examples of finished works. I'm most interested in creative ideas how to make something useful or beautiful with your own hands and non-traditional design solutions.

Many people are now engaged in the individual business of manufacturing wooden products. If you leave the woody parts with bark untreated, then look at what wonderful works you get:

Of course, the type of wood and its structure is also of great importance. The more beautifully the pattern of rings on a wooden cut is visible, the more unusual the result will be. The form can be very simple.

Of course, in order to be engaged in the production of large things professionally, you need your own workshop, equipped with the necessary equipment. For smaller masters, it is easier to find a place.

Good afternoon. Today we start uploading articles on the topic of wood crafts with their own hands. In this first article, I want to show you which simple crafts can be made of wood - both for children and adults. Many ideas fit for school work- for boys.

Lovingly stack them away from the woodpile and start inventing future wood crafts. For example, let it be wooden owls. It's easy to make and looks beautiful. Saw cuts can be nailed to each other with nails. You can plant them on liquid nails (like glue).

The surface of the saw cuts can be rough, unskinned (as in the photo with the bunny craft). And you can sand it with sandpaper and even varnish such an ornamental material. Or paint in the color you want.

From large saw cuts, you can make large country crafts from wood. And small log cabins (from thinner branches and logs) are suitable for miniature crafts - for example, these birds. You can cut branches of this thickness yourself with a hacksaw - manually, without a chainsaw.

Log saw cuts can become a canvas for art installations. Such wooden crafts-pictures can be made from any natural material. Go to the river and find smooth flat pebbles. They will become a source of interesting crafts. The stones are easily painted with felt-tip pens, office bold markers or just gouache (after work, fix the gouache with hairspray or nail polish).

And here is another way to make beautiful AIR crafts from wooden cuts. Openwork through sawing with an electric jigsaw (photo with a maple leaf craft) looks simply magical.

Here is a small master class, from which you can see how the process of cutting openwork patterns on a thick saw cut of a tree takes place.

First, trace the stencil with a pencil. Then we drill holes in the key nodes of the picture with a drill. And then with a jigsaw we go from one holey node to another.

You can create your own device which will help you cut wood products using a conventional drill. Make an electric jigsaw with your own hands. Holding hands on comfortable handles, you simply move the device - following the lines of your drawing. How thinner drill especially small parts you can cut out a picture for them. Well thought out.

Or maybe buy a jigsaw It costs an average of $100. You can find it for 50, but we don’t work on an industrial scale, so it’s not necessary to buy a very powerful expensive tool.

Mosaic Crafts

From saw cuts of thick branches.

If you have a boring barn wall looking right at you in your country yard. That needs to be made boring. Let's make a shed positive with the help of wooden crafts. Let's do mosaic applique from small saw cuts. Such cuts are obtained by sawing thick branches or thin logs with a hacksaw (or chainsaw).

basis for such a wood craft, we cut it out of a sheet of plywood. First, draw on it the silhouette of the future crafts. Cut out plywood base manual jigsaw or special power tools. And we stick wooden roundels on it - on liquid nails, on wood glue or on hot glue from a gun.

And even at home you can make saw cuts decorative wooden mirror frame(master class in the photo below).

  1. Buy too round mirror. Put it on a sheet of plywood - circle it with a pencil.
  2. Around the resulting circle, retreat a few centimeters (to the width you want for the frame). And with this indent draw a second circle.
  3. Cut out a large circle from plywood. And glue the outer ring with saw cuts of wood. It will turn out a beautiful wooden craft frame - it remains to glue a mirror into the middle on liquid nails.

PUFF CRAFTS

from wood.

This is probably my favorite kind of wood crafts. Here, the swollen shields lie on top of each other, creating a LAYER VOLUME of crafts.

Here is a cow craft made from three layers of wooden shield. The first layer is the body, the second is the head, the third is the bangs and nose.

You can paint all the layers of your craft the same color (as craft polar bear wood) or different colors(as a craft mouse on the moon- photo below).

Or you can leave the textured wood pattern (as in the crafts from the photo below).

wood fox It has a two-layer construction - the back layer, and the head and tail are laid on it.

craft duck has 5 layers - the central layer with the head, and two layers on both sides (tummy + wing).

The more layers you will impose on each other, the more voluminous and convex your craft will be. Here is an example with the craft "Lions made of wood" you can see how the muzzle of the beast moves forward, thanks to four layers of thick wooden board.

If you color your crafts. Draw facial expressions, add small details - folds, spots, and more. You can get very realistic and expensive wood crafts. Your little hobby can become your business. Such works can be safely put up for sale.

You can invent your own characters. Draw their layers on a sheet of paper. Enlarge the craft first in a paper template - transfer the contours to wooden shield and cut out. Or find pictures in a children's coloring book- and redraw them in an enlarged size.

Wooden craft

For school

At the lesson of labor.

Such Puff wood crafts can be cut NOT FROM THICK SHIELD, but made of thin plywood. And then such work can be carried out in labor classes within the framework of school curriculum. On the topic "cutting with a jigsaw on plywood."

Here's an idea for you - how from 3 plywood boards make a two-color puppy craft. The first posterior layer of WHITE PLYWOOD peeks out only with the tips of the ears, tail and one hind leg. We will cover the second layer with a stain (so that it darkens). Eyes, nose and lines can be drawn with a marker, or burned out special device for wood burning.

In the same technique of shields with different shade you can do a lot of colors voluminous crafts from wood at labor lessons at school or in a circle of wooden creativity.

wood crafts

as an APPLICATION.

In a very similar technique, you can make an appliqué out of wood. Here, too, wooden solid wood board(that is, not a glued shield, but a solid board). Because we will grind it, and the glued sanding shield can exfoliate and the glue seams will be visible.

  1. On the paper the whole future craft is drawn. Divided by lines into details. Each detail is numbered. And it is photographed (so that later on the photo to check the location of each element).
  2. Next, the drawing is cut along the lines into elements. We trace each element on the board with a pencil. We cut out an element from a flat board. All elements are flat on top, rough on the edges of the cut and with sharp sawing edges.
  3. Now our task smooth all edges of each part, round. We grind the sharp edges of the cuts with a chisel. And we grind on a grinding machine (if you have one) or do grinding by hand with sandpaper varying degrees hardness-roughness.
  4. After sanding all the details painted in tinted stain(sold in construction stores). Depending on how many times you wipe the part with a stain, you will get a lighter or darker tone. Very light details can be wiped off simply vegetable oil. You can check in advance shades of color on the scraps of wood left after sawing the crafts.

You can also paint the details of wood crafts in watercolor or gouache(using not a brush, but a foam rubber sponge). After painting, so that the part does not get your hands dirty, you can sprinkle it with hairspray or impregnate the craft with another wood finish (only check what color it will be on the scraps beforehand).

It only seems that the cow (pictured in the woodwork above) is behind the moon. In fact, all the details are in the same plane. On a piece of paper. But thanks to the streamlined edges of the details, everything looks voluminous, soft and, as it were, PUSHED into each other. In fact, nothing is pressed in - everything just lies next to each other.

Ideas for such flat wood crafts can be taken inside children's coloring books. There are just pictures with large details. Children's coloring picture can be found in Google - enlarge and print. Or redraw directly from the monitor screen by placing a sheet of paper on the glowing screen.

Methods for grinding parts

for wood crafts

(instructions to help).

To make it easier to sand smooth edges of parts without rubbing calluses on my hands, I want to give some useful tips.

You can clamp the sanding belt in a special vise, also made of wood. Here's how it's done in the left photo below. Or come up with your own version of the device.

Here on the left photo - sandpaper wraps around a thick plank with a semicircular edge. And the edges sandpaper are wrapped in a groove, and clamped with a bolt twisted through a round cylindrical piece of wood-clamp.

There are also grinding nozzles for a drill. And then you can do the shlivovka parts using the rotational power of the drill and the magical power of electricity.

Below we see grinding attachments for drill- cymbal and drum shape.

There is grinding attachments for a drill where you yourself can change sandpaper - remove the old worn sandpaper and refill with a new one.

By the way, on Aliexpress you can immediately buy in bulk grinding drums for a drill for $ 3-4 for a batch of 100 pieces. If you look you can find it cheaper.

And so that the drill does not spin in your hand during operation, you can create a special FASTENING STRUCTURE, which will fix your homemade grinding machine in one place, and all you have to do is bring the parts to the grinding drum.

The design of the mounting tray can be different - with a wooden clamp (photo above), or with a lock in the form of a metal bracket (as in the photo below).

With such an assistant, making wood crafts with your own hands is a pleasure. Quickly pleasant and immediately beautiful results. Such work can be put on stream - and a whole production of beautiful wooden (smooth and safe) toys for children, gift wooden paintings can be established.

You can become a successful master. Completely unexpected. It's as simple as looking at this article and falling in love with the idea.

The fantasy of wooden crafts is limitless. Remember the formula for success - everything can be made from wood. The main thing is to start ... then continue ... and finish.

For example, knocker toys. Beautiful fun for children and for decorating the cottage. Such a hammer or woodpecker can knock on your door, reporting guests on the porch. Like in a fairy tale - pull the rope, and the door will be opened for you.

You can make decorations for the children's room with your own hands. In fact, reincarnate and become a designer of interesting interior wood crafts. Any boy will be happy if his children's room sparkles with motives from the Jungle.

You know ... I will probably continue the topic of wooden crafts for the design of a children's room in one of the following articles. I would like to see what ideas are hidden here. And falling in love with someone is a good thing.

And perhaps it is also necessary to create an article with handmade wooden toys for children. You also need to write. And then it will work here link.

And while we continue...
