Secretary drawings. Do-it-yourself secretary is a useful design for organizing a workplace. Secretaire in the interior: application possibilities

Whatever your city apartment is - prestigious or ordinary, large or small, comfortable or uncomfortable, it is extremely difficult to find a place in it for a home workshop. However, with a strong desire and sufficient carpentry skills, a do-it-yourself master can equip a quite comfortable workplace for himself, which can easily be transformed into a flat cabinet with an area of only 0.36 m2 on the floor.

It is better to make such a cabinet from the ceiling to the floor and fix it between them using four screw jacks; at the same time, there is no need to drill concrete walls, drive dowels into them and fix the structure on the wall with screws. In addition, a tall cabinet with the same area it occupies has the most useful volume.

By design, the transforming workshop resembles an ordinary secretary with a reclining tabletop. In order to make it, you will need chipboard 16-20 mm thick (all dimensions in the drawings apply to chipboard 20 mm thick), some plywood and hardboard.

The production of a secretary-workshop begins with side panels (their width is about 300 mm, and the length should be 15 mm less than the distance from floor to ceiling), shelves and crossbars made of chipboard.

When processing blanks, the most important thing is to strictly maintain their dimensions and perpendicularity of the sides. Even small deviations from the drawing can cause irreparable distortions when assembling the secretary.

To connect parts, it is best to use a very durable and technological docking unit, consisting

only from an M6 bolt with a spherical head and a nut. At the same time, a hole for the nut is drilled in the shelf or cross member, the diameter of which is somewhat smaller than its turnkey size, which allows the nut to be pressed into it with some interference. In the sidewalls, crossbars and shelves, corresponding holes with a diameter of 6 mm are drilled for the docking bolts. In order for the connection of the details of the secretary to be accurate, it is necessary to strictly observe a certain sequence of operations.

1 - cross member; 2 - screws; 3 - loop; 4 - door-tabletop; 5 - dowels

1 - countertop; 2 - bushing (metal or plastic); 3 - pin-lock (steel); 4 - the door of the lower compartment of the secretary

1 - door of the upper compartment (chipboard 820, 880 × 600, 2 pcs); 2 - handle (6 pcs.); 3 - door-tabletop (chipboard 820.1200 × 900); 4 - overlay (plywood s6, 1150 × 850); 5 - back wall (hardboard s5, 2660×1190); 6 - upper cross member (chipboard 820, 1160×300); 7 - side panel (chipboard s20, 2685×300); 8 - side-reinforcement (wooden lath 35 × 25); 9 - shelves of the upper compartment of the secretary (chipboard s20, 1160×250); 10.12 - middle crossbars (chipboard s20, 1160x x300); 11 - shelf of the middle compartment of the secretary (chipboard s20, 1160×200); 13 - reinforcement of the cross member (wooden lath 35×25); 14 - shelves of the lower compartment of the secretary (chipboard s20, 1160×250); 15 - lower cross member (chipboard s20, 1160×300): 16 - lower compartment door (chipboard s20, 860×600, 2 pcs.)

1 - swivel leg (birch or beech, bar 50 × 30); 2 - M6 bolt; 3 - the door of the lower compartment of the secretary; 4 - wing nut M6; 5 - washer; 6 - gasket (rubber s3)

1 - gasket (rubber s3); 2 - bolt M8 or M10; 3 - ceiling; 4 - nut; 5 - sidebar

1 - bolt M6; 2 - side panel; 3 - nut M6; 4 - shelf or crossbar

To begin with, one side panel is marked - on it, under the docking bolts, the axes of all holes are depicted. It is desirable that the distance between the holes be the same: in this case, it will be possible to use a simple jig, which will make it easy to align the axes of the corresponding holes on the sidewalls, shelves and crossbars.

The conductor itself is assembled from two rails in the form of a kind of T-square. A risk is applied along the axis of the holes, which, when the conductor is installed on the panel, is combined with the risk on the panel. The conductor is fixed on the parts with a pair of small nails.

It is also advisable to drill holes for the M6 nut in the crossbars and shelves along the conductor. The latter is bent from a steel strip with a section of 20 × 2 mm, after which two holes are made in the resulting corner: in a smaller shelf - with a diameter of 6 mm (a guide screw is fixed in it), and in a larger one - with a diameter 0.5 mm smaller than the size “under wrench" for used nuts with M6 thread. As a rule, for such nuts, the “turnkey” size is 10 mm, respectively, the diameter of the hole for the nut is 9.5 mm.

The assembly of the secretary is, in fact, the connection of the side panels with the shelves and crossbars with M6 bolts. Nuts are preliminarily pressed into the latter and centered relative to holes with a diameter of 6 mm at the ends of the shelves and crossbars using a rod with a pointed end. After the assembly is completed, the “geometry” of the structure is carefully checked with a tape measure, for this the secretary is placed face down on the floor and its diagonals are measured. If their values are equal, then a sheet of hardboard 5 mm thick is attached to the back of the cabinet (to the side panels, shelves and crossbars) with small screws and glue (casein, PVA or “liquid nails”).

The width of the secretary-workshop is quite large - 1.2 m, so the shelves made of chipboard may sag over time. To prevent this from happening, it makes sense to reinforce them with wooden slats with a section of 35 × 25 mm. These rails, moreover, will not allow tools and materials to fall off the shelves.

The next step is hanging the doors and countertops. The first are installed using standard furniture hinges, which ensure that the doors are fixed both in the open and in the closed position. Well, the tabletop is connected to the cross member with reinforced hinges, since these hinge joints will have to experience increased loads. It is best to use three or four window hinges with a card size of 60 × 40 mm. You can, of course, fix them to the countertop and crossbar with ordinary screws, but it’s still better to purchase plastic dowels with a diameter of 5 mm, press them into the holes drilled in the parts and only then drive the screws into the dowels. The fact is that the screws do not hold well in the chipboard and fly out of their sockets at the slightest axial load.

As can be seen from the drawings, the doors of the lower compartment of the secretary-workshop are the supports of the tabletop when it is in a horizontal position. To ensure that the load from it and the heavy tool located on it is not perceived by flimsy furniture hinges, but is transferred to the floor, the doors are equipped with swivel legs made of wooden bars, which are fixed both in the working and in the retracted position with a bolt with a spherical head and a wing nut. And so that the open doors do not accidentally slam shut, metal fixing pins with a diameter of 6 mm are fixed on them, and holes are drilled in the table top, which are reinforced with metal or plastic bushings with an inner diameter of 6.5 mm.

It remains to equip the secretary with four screw jacks - and the work on its assembly will be completed. As can be seen from the figure, the jack is arranged in almost the same way as the docking unit connecting the cross-beam shelves with the side panels. The only difference is in the diameter of the bolt and nut - for jacks you will need fasteners with an M8 or M10 thread. When installing the secretary, sheet rubber 2-3 mm thick is placed under the bolt heads.

If the particle boards were not lined with plastic, then the easiest way is to finish them with a self-adhesive film, matching its texture to the surrounding furniture. The ends of the panels are preliminarily puttied, sanded and painted with a suitable color of enamel.

A sheet of 6 mm plywood is fixed on the table top: practice shows that the surface of the workbench in the workshop deteriorates quickly enough, but the plywood lining can always be replaced if necessary.

In the middle compartment of the secretary, a table lamp or fluorescent lamp and a multiple electrical outlet are installed.

Each time dictates its own styles, including furniture design. However, in addition to beauty, many interior items should also have additional functionality: drawers, drawers and shelves. And in some cases - hiding places, small safes disguised as ordinary bedside tables, chests of drawers or other pieces of furniture, as well as built into bookcases and wardrobes.

Secretaire with curved legs, decorated with carvings

Their presence always had its own meaning: here it was possible to hide something that was not necessarily visible to the rest. And, starting from the 18th century, in any rich house one could find a secretary, and in the Russian version - a desk, where the owner kept especially valuable documents: bills, money, jewelry.

Inside the antique furniture that has survived to this day, various hiding places and secret boxes are very often found.

Furniture with secrets - table and cabinet with additional drawers

In past centuries, in the homes of wealthy people, a table or a cabinet with secret drawers was an obligatory accessory for a study, which was used to store especially important documents, money, jewelry, which made it possible to protect them from thieves. Later, in France, a special table-wardrobe was invented, called a secretary, because it was really possible to store various secret documents and small valuables in it.

The drawers were often supplied with secret locks and secret locking mechanisms.

The popularity of secretaires and other furniture "frills", equipped with various secret spaces, was not accidental. Their design has its advantages that ordinary tables and cabinets do not have, and features that are unique to such products.

They are no less relevant today: in stylized safes and hiding places they store securities, expensive jewelry, important correspondence and documentation. Among the clear advantages of such furniture can be noted:

storage of valuables without access to them by outsiders;
their arrangement in different furniture elements;
the possibility of making secret vaults with your own hands.

Among the factors characteristic of furniture with a secret, the design features of such products stand out, which make it possible to prepare places for storing a particular type of value. As a rule, if caches are specially equipped, they are supplied with secret locks, and today - with an electronic security system.

Today, the furniture market offers products not only for personal use, but also for businesses and organizations. In addition, it can be made to order according to individual drawings.

Caches in ordinary furniture

Caches are often arranged under furniture - in the empty space between the legs

Antique furniture is a storehouse of secrets and mysteries. Old master cabinetmakers turned furniture design elements into real works of art. The current craftsmen make modern furniture in the old style, helping to create a special interior and complement it with hidden elements.

Secrets in antique furniture

The purchase of special tables, cabinets and bedside tables with hiding places is a rather expensive pleasure. But this does not mean that especially important documents and jewelry will remain on the shelf in the closet.

Finished furniture with hidden niches

Wall mirrors and specially designed paintings can also be a great hiding place.

Today, various types of ordinary furniture are produced, equipped with secret spaces. Caches can be located in any part of it, and both the owners themselves can equip them with their own hands, and by ordering their production from craftsmen, secret places can be located:

Secret drawer or safe disguised as an outlet

Caches with your own hands or to order

Stash in the table, custom made

It is not always necessary to buy expensive exclusive furniture equipped with hidden places. You can use the budget option by ordering the desired element of the furniture interior to specialists according to your own drawings. Or you can try to create and equip it with your own hands for a home master.

These can be equipped hiding places under or inside countertops, in the doors of cabinets and bedside tables, as well as shelves and drawers on which locks can be embedded.

Of interest are small turnkey niches equipped in the depths of the drawers of the desk with a secret.

A simple hiding place in furniture - in the hollow legs of a chair

The hiding place, equipped in these pieces of furniture, is considered a classic. It is quite simple to make it: you need to drill a hole of the selected size inside the furniture element. It is assumed that only one person will know about such a "secret" - the one who made it.

It is clear that the place for storing valuables equipped here does not imply a large number of them, which must be remembered to be disguised in a convenient way.

Advice. Holes must be made very carefully and not overdo it with their diameter, so as not to weaken the structure and not lead to its breakage.

Secrets in boxes

The double bottom drawer is a true classic that still works to this day.

Traditionally, hiding places are arranged in the drawers of a desk or chest of drawers, where you can make a "second bottom". For its equipment, they take the same material from which the furniture itself is made, of the same size, fix it:

Velcro;
magnetic strips in a plastic frame;
in other convenient ways.

The idea of a small cache - a box inside a box

You can put flat objects there:

documentation;
cash;

Attention! Before hiding a thing, it is necessary to decide who can know about the existence of the cache and have access to it, so that, if it is discovered by the household, not to get into a stupid position.

In the age of high technology, people quickly forgot that only two decades ago, letters were written by hand and sent by mail. Today, progress has gone so far that there is no longer a need for paper correspondence, but still, in offices and bedrooms, many people need functional and beautiful furniture for working, for example, at a laptop.

This article is written to remind you of such pieces of furniture as a bureau and a secretary, as well as to tell you about the origins of their occurrence and the features that distinguish one item from another.

The design of the bureau was created at the turn of the 17th and 17th centuries, in France, and was nothing more than a large casket on high legs with a hinged sloping lid over the tabletop, which was supplemented by compartments or drawers for writing instruments. Such an object was often installed in the bedrooms, and served as a desk and jewelry box. The bureau took up little space and it was comfortable to sit behind it, these qualities prompted furniture makers to develop the very idea of \u200b\u200bthis item, as a result, a certain cabinetmaker J. Aubin, courtier of Louis XV, the design of the table was finalized and decorated with a cylindrical lifting lid, for which it received the name " bureau of the king”, and today is a symbol of its era, one of the main attributes of the interior in a classic style.

A secretary is considered a related subject for the bureau - a tall bookcase equipped with a pull-out shelf or a folding board for writing. Even at the very beginning of its existence, the secretary was an element of the furnishing of the interiors of purely luxurious, aristocratic

Secretary in a modern interior

Nowadays, interior design is no longer bound by any technological framework, fashion trends and other restrictions. Everyone is free to dispose of their personal living space at their own discretion and according to personal preferences. For some, planning is important, taking into account the location of all technical innovations, while others need the spirit of tradition, a unique atmosphere and aesthetics in each item.

Such an object can be furniture with history, a kind of cult item that will transform the decor of a bedroom, living room or office. The secretary is again becoming popular furniture today, because it is not only very effective, but is able to perform the function of a chest of drawers, a desk and a bookcase at the same time, which is especially important in the space of a small room.

First of all, a secretary closet will be appropriate in a classic elegant interior with the same solid furniture, expensive fabrics and natural materials.

It is also good to use this item in a neoclassical interior of a living room, a French-style bedroom (light wood or painted furniture), an art deco study.

Note that the choice of a room for the location of the secretary in the house is not fundamental, it can be installed in the dining room, hallway and even the children's room in order to conveniently store everything you need in one place.

Types and features of bureau designs

As it was said, the bureau is an unusual object, very characteristic and catchy. It is simply impossible not to notice it in the environment, thanks to its unusual appearance, which, by the way, can vary somewhat, and contain features of other pieces of furniture that are familiar to us.

Bureau desk

It can be presented in the form of a familiar, but compact table, with a convenient design of compartments for accessories, built on top of the table top, which, in turn, can be retractable or folding.

A more modern minimalist model looks like an ordinary writing desk, but with a hidden drawer system and an elevating top.

Desk desk is undoubtedly a great acquisition for modern practical interiors, and is especially useful in small children's rooms, cozy bedrooms or built-in home offices.

classic bureau

A traditional bureau will also not take up extra space, but will look much more characteristic than a table.

This item should be equipped with a hinged lid, slanted or cylindrical, hiding two or three tiers of mini-compartments for stationery and personal items.

Models of traditional bureaus today are made from practical, high-quality MDF material, and the straight lines of the silhouette make it possible to use such furniture in modern styles: contemporary, boho and even loft.

Bureau, made according to the classical model, always made of solid wood, with figured legs, decorative fittings, often with artistic painting or carving on the facade. Such a thing should be used when decorating interiors in vintage, retro, classic, and also boho styles, if the owner of the house likes such an item.

Chest of drawers

The combination of the design of several objects in one testifies to the endless desire of human thought for functionality and comfort in everything. The hybrid of the furniture industry was no exception - a chest of drawers where you can store personal items and, if necessary, use a folding table top for work.

The design of a chest of drawers can be completely diverse, from classic to ultra-modern, which allows you to use the item in any style of interior, in any area of the room that is convenient for you.

However, the most unusual chest of drawer models (varnished figured or constructivist style with clear forms) will organically fit into equally bright interior styles: pop art, boho-classic, empire and art deco.

bureau-console

The most amazing version of the bureau, in our opinion, combined with the console. It can be used even where the area is very modest: in a bright but narrow corridor; small bedroom, kitchen-living room, compact hallway.

The design of the bureau console is light and compact, often having only two support legs and wall mounts. The narrow long tabletop is sometimes complemented by a pull-out shelf and lined up rows of compartments for accessories.

Vintage style, shabby chic, classic - this is the environment in which such an item looks appropriate for an environment with a touch of time.

The classic secretary is a chest of drawers with a top-down door, behind which there are many hidden drawers and compartments. At first, this furniture was considered ladies'. The open door served as a table for writing love letters, and pearls and diamonds shimmered in the locked recesses. However, the design turned out to be successful, and it was borrowed for more prosaic purposes: storing documents and writing materials. Let's try to assemble a simple secretary with our own hands, so that markers, disks and folders with papers finally find their permanent place.

Let's make a very simple secretary

Preparation for work

Our secretary will have the simplest device, but in terms of convenience and functionality it will not yield to the factory one. For its manufacture, the following materials will be required:

Ready-made desktop holders for folders made of plywood (sold in stationery stores) - 6 pcs.
MDF blank for the top cover - 890x330x16 mm.
MDF blank for the back cover - 890x325x16 mm.
Joiner's glue.
Screws.
sanding paper.
Double-sided tape.

From the tools we will need:

Electric jigsaw with a blade for a curved cut.
Drill.
Screwdriver or screwdriver.

As you can see in the picture, our module is mounted on an ordinary dining table with a tabletop size of 100x80 cm. The superstructure for placing papers looks like a complex of interconnected horizontal and vertical supports, united by an MDF top and back covers.

In a small apartment, it would be nice to figure out how to make a secretary mobile. This condition is just built into our design. The trick is that our shelf module is removable, which means that if necessary, it can be quickly removed to any other place.

Marking and sawing MDF

First cut out the top cover. To do this, we lay the stand on the sheet with its side so that the back side of the future cover is aligned with the horizontal shelf flush. The front side of the cover should protrude 1.5 cm forward beyond the horizontal shelf. We mark the position of the first part of the shelf.

Marking the outline of the lid

We turn the stand over and mark the position of the second, mirror part of the shelf.

Cut out the top cover

We cut out the top cover with an electric jigsaw, installing a file for a curved cut into it. The pendulum stroke must be turned off during operation. The dimensions of the lid should be:

Length - 890 mm,
Width at the junction of horizontal supports - 320 mm,
Width at the ends - 170 mm.

We cut out the back wall in the form of a rectangle, according to the given dimensions - 890x325x16 mm.

Scheme of our secretary

We grind the finished covers and cover them with furniture varnish for 2-3 times or paste over with a self-adhesive film.

When a child comes out of the age of plush toys and wooden rocking chairs, his growing up is not a reason to send old pets "into exile." But it’s worth thinking about refurbishing the nursery. For example, a horse can easily be turned into a compact fun secretary for a teenager. A little ingenuity, some boards and screws, a reliable tool and love for your rapidly growing child - that's what you need for this.

What materials are needed

In this case, the hull frame is constructed from coniferous wood. 42 slats measuring 3.4 x 1.8 x 100 cm, as well as plywood 27 and 18 mm thick, went to the semicircular body.

For the internal construction, medium-density MDF is mainly used. This gives two advantages at once: firstly, MDF with a thickness of 16 and 19 mm is sufficiently strong and works well in bending even at large sizes. Secondly, its surfaces are easy to paint. Sanding before applying the paint, as a rule, is not required, only the edges, due to their high absorbency, need at least two treatments - “sandpaper” No. 100 and No. 180.

Screws will need a variety of: 4.0 x 45 mm; 4.0 x 20 mm; 3.5 x 50 mm; 3.5 x 25 mm; 3.5 x 16 mm.

You will need
cordless drill wood drills 3.5 and 6 mm Forstner drills 30 and 35 mm jigsaw miter box hammer chisel pencil and ruler adhesive tape carpentry and assembly glue * lighter MDF screws 19 and 16 mm plywood 27 and 18 mm lumber rubber cord rollers with guides belt for pens.

Frame

Strictly speaking, only the head and tail will be inherited from the beloved wooden horse. Everything else will have to be built "from scratch" using the drawing (see fig.). The task will be greatly simplified if, in addition to an unnecessary toy, there is also a ready-made chest of drawers for small things that can be adapted for our purposes. No commode? Well, okay. The drawers will work great with 16mm MDF, while the note board and both countertops will work with 19mm. Please note that the drawers of the chest of drawers are only 2-3 mm narrower than the corresponding recesses in the case. The outer edges of the drawers should be thoroughly rounded to make inserting the drawers easier.

thrust rail

Before equipping a horse with many useful functions, you need to create primary design conditions for this.

1 . The length for the right stop rail on the end panel of the cover must be measured to the nearest millimeter.
2 . Using a miter box, you need to cut the rail along the length. Sections should be carefully rounded.
W. For the fastening strap screw, make a blind hole in the rail Ø 35 mm, 10 mm deep.

note board

A great idea is to equip the secretary with a note board. Moreover, it does not have to be magnetic at all: perhaps laces as fasteners are an even more interesting option.

1 . A row of holes on the board is located at a distance of 15 mm from the edge. It should be noted the gap at the top ...
2 ... and at the bottom edge and connect the marks with a ruler. In this case, you can immediately mark the holes.
3 . Hole repeat is easily done with a wood drill (6 mm). A rubber cord will be passed through them later.

Surface treatment

Colored enamel will not only add color to the appearance of the secretaire, but also protect the MDF from moisture and scratches.

1 . At the note board, the edges must be sanded first. It is better to round them with a sanding block so that the paint is better.
held on.
2 . After cleaning the surfaces of dust, the edges should be covered with 2 in 1 paint. So you can do without a primer.
3 . After drying, it remains to sand the painted surfaces with sanding paper No. 220 and apply another coat of paint.

note board

The combination of screws and mounting adhesive will secure the board firmly in the lid of the secretary. A stretched rubber cord will hold all the note sheets in place.

1 . Insert a rubber cord (4 m) into the hole on the back of the board and secure with a knot. The ends should first be melted with a lighter.
2 . Pass the cord through all holes; at the end, tighten and fix the tension with a knot.
3 . Mount the thrust rail with a drilled blind hole above the fastening strap screw.

4 . Use three screws 4.0 x 45 mm for fixing. The heads should be “drowned” flush into the material.
5 . Pre-drill the center plate: about 10 mm (1/2 plate thickness) from the front edge and 60 mm from the top and bottom edges.
6 . Apply a thick, continuous strip of mounting adhesive to the thrust rail (ordinary wood glue will not work here).

7 . Insert the note board into the lid and briefly press it hard against the adhesive rail.
8 . Screw the plate through the pre-drilled holes with two 3.5 x 50 mm screws.
9 . From the bottom of the horse's body, carefully unscrew both top wooden slats.

Retractable tabletop

Of course, even without a retractable tabletop, the secretary would not be bad. But the transformer table is much cooler than usual.
So let's try!

1 . The roller guide must be installed in the housing on both sides at the same height.
2 . Screws 4.0 x 20 mm must be screwed in strictly perpendicular so that their heads are exactly flush.
3 . The tabletop is supported by two slats 10x10 mm thick. You will need to pre-drill the holes with a 3.5mm bit.

4 . When screwing the rails, make sure that they are exactly above the rails. Fix with screws 3.5 x 25 mm.
5 . Use three 3.6 x 16 mm wood screws to attach the rail counterparts to the table top.
6 . Insert the tabletop with the rollers forward into the guides. In this case, not a single screw head should interfere.

7 . And this rail forms the facade of the countertop. To attach the handle-belt in the middle of it from the back, you will have to hollow out a recess.
8 . Fix the rail temporarily on the body to screw it to the end of the tabletop. Pre-drill holes for the screws.
9 . Unscrew the rail from the body again - it is now attached to the tabletop at the correct height.

Wardrobe with drawers

There is enough space on the left side of the lid for a chest of drawers with drawers. A little trick with the cord will help keep the drawers from falling out when you flip them up.

1 . Lay the second countertop (which is not located on the rails), lay on the installed rails.
2 . Measure the depth of the drawer cabinet on the lid Leave approximately 2.5 cm of free space at the top and bottom.
3 . Mark the body of the cabinet at a distance of approximately 10 mm (1/2 of the plate thickness) from the edge. Leave about 50 mm on the side.

4 . Drill holes according to the diameter of the screws (3.5 mm) so that later the side plates do not crack when screwed in.
5 . Deepen the holes with a countersink
6 . Apply a thin bead of waterproof wood glue to the contact surfaces before screwing the body parts together.

7 . Connect the top board and center pieces in the same way with screws and glue.
8 . To screw the bottom, draw auxiliary lines. Spacer blocks will ensure the exact perpendicularity of the recesses for the boxes.
9 . The back wall, like the rest of the parts, glue and screw. This plate ensures the perpendicularity of the hull.

The final

As already mentioned, drawers are also made of MDF 19 mm thick.

When gluing, high precision is required due to the absence of fixing screws. A simple adhesive tape will help you.

1 . Instead of furniture handles, there will be holes in the drawers. Make sure to mark them to make sure you do them right.

2 . Using a 30 mm Forstner drill, make holes for the handles in the drawer fronts.
3 . Now we need to glue the boxes. As a fixation, use a strong adhesive tape, which you will remove after the glue dries.
4 . All edges of the drawers must be rounded with a sanding block. Don't forget to do this on the inside of the boxes as well.

5 . Details of the chest of drawers are painted with 2 in 1 paint. The second layer is applied after drying and intermediate grinding.
6 . On the left (by analogy with the thrust rail), a blind hole with a diameter of 35 mm must be made in order to drown the screw of the fastening belt.
7 . The second rubber cord, stretched between the screwed-in hooks, will prevent the drawers from falling out when the secretary lid is opened.
