Home is a place where a person relaxes and feels calm. The comfort and convenience of the room depends on the interior and furniture.

An important component of the situation are places to store clothes, shoes and other things. Although stores offer a variety of options, it is easy to build a do-it-yourself wardrobe from furniture panels.

Material preparation

First you need to decide on the design of the cabinet. For example, for storing clothes, choose a closet with doors, a compartment or a chest of drawers.

To make a high-quality and practical product, you need to properly prepare the right materials. Furniture shield is a great option. The structures made of it are durable and look beautiful. At the same time, the material is budgetary. Do-it-yourself furniture board cabinets - optimal choice economical and original owners for their home.

The best for the manufacture of furniture are considered boards made of beech, oak or spruce. When choosing a furniture board for a wardrobe, you can be sure that the material is environmentally friendly and safe. Even a novice master need not worry, because the sheet is easy to process.

Although the panels are produced in different thicknesses, a thickness of 2 cm is taken to make furniture for the bedroom or living room. The material is used to make not only the side walls, but also for the facade. For shelves and drawers, pieces of plywood of different thicknesses are suitable. It is important not to forget about accessories: handles, hinges, holders. Those who want to make the wardrobe unusual use lighting elements.

Instruments

Before you make a closet, prepare a set simple tools. They are in the house of every man who is engaged in carpentry.

This is electric drill with drills different diameter, wood sanding machine, tape measure, hacksaw, screwdriver. Fastenings will be made using self-tapping screws.

Drawing

It is impossible to assemble a cabinet without first carefully studying the drawings. To begin with, it is important to decide what the dimensions of the structure will be.

You can draw up a cabinet drawing either with a pencil on paper or on a computer. If you already have experience in drawing up drawings, then it is not difficult to make an accurate sketch on A4 sheet. For beginners, the second option is suitable - working in a design program.

When the drawing is drawn up, you can proceed to the following steps: to calculate the amount required material, drawing up detailing and directly to work with furniture panels.

It is important to approach the drafting of the drawing responsibly and think it over well, because in the course of work it will be impossible to make any changes.

Cabinet assembly technology

Those who work with the manufacture of furniture for the first time should not set themselves the task of immediately making something complex. It will suffice to confine itself to a simple double-leaf module.

A simple do-it-yourself furniture board cabinet is practical and easy to assemble. More experienced craftsmen will like the idea of ​​​​building a coupe. This is convenient choice for both small and spacious apartments. You can design and assemble the product yourself in 2 weeks. This is much faster than waiting for an order for 2 months.

In order for all the details to turn out even and correct, it is best to use electric jigsaw. It is necessary to cut out the sides, bottom, cover (preferably wider than the length of the module), plinth, doors, back wall and shelves.

Before starting the assembly, it is recommended that all cut out elements be varnished. It is advisable to do this 2 times. Then the varnish will be reliable.

The first application of varnish is carried out before grinding. The second can be done after final assembly. It is important that the blanks are dry and even.

Assembly

At the beginning of the assembly, it is necessary to mark the places where there will be holes for fittings. Then, using self-tapping screws, you need to fix the bottom between the side walls. The lid fits neatly and evenly at the top. For reliability, the back wall is fixed with nails. After that, the hinges are fixed with self-tapping screws and the doors are hung.

When assembling, it is important to be careful and meticulous in order to avoid deviation or distortion. It is best to use a level and correct any inaccuracies or shortcomings immediately.

If you follow all the instructions, assembling the cabinet will be quite simple. Also, to assemble the wardrobe, you will need euro screws and plugs for them.

Many advise taking the length of the blanks a little longer than planned at the beginning, foreseeing various force majeure circumstances.

To check if the dimensions are correct, at the beginning of the assembly, the bottom and walls are placed in the place where the furniture is planned to be placed. Shelves must be fastened from top to bottom, and not vice versa.

Filling

The module is filled with drawers and a bar to hang clothes. Boxes are easy to make from a sheet of plywood and a narrow shield. They are assembled according to the same principle as the body.

The bar must be secured with heavy-duty fasteners, because it needs to withstand a large weight of clothing.

You need to decide what clothes will fit in the closet. The width and number of shelves will depend on this.

Facade

For every hostess, it is important that the furniture is not only comfortable and practical, but also beautiful and presentable. The product can be decorated to the taste of its owners and based on general style interior.

DIY wood furniture: we make a table from wood, chipboard or furniture board

The table is an indispensable part of the interior, so I want such an important item to be multifunctional, strong and serve long years. Making your own table will provide confidence in its reliability and durability. Homemade furniture board can be ideal material for similar furniture.
To date, there are many variations of tables - computer, writing, kitchen, folding, etc. Let's try to analyze the sequence of manufacturing some of them in detail.
Computer table from a furniture board (wood or chipboard)
A computer desk will allow you to save precious centimeters of space and place all the components of your computer in convenient and easily accessible places. To make such a table, you need 8 furniture panels: three with a size of 2000x600x18 mm, three with 2000x400x18 mm and two with 2000x200x18 mm.
Additional materials and tools required for manufacturing computer desk:
edged board 12x120 mm;
dowels;
· plywood sheet 6 mm thick.
The process of making a computer desk.

Initially, a drawing of a computer table made of wood or chipboard is developed and the dimensions are calculated.

From one of the furniture panels (most big size) cut out the countertop, side walls, bottom and upper part pedestals. The corners of the sides, located in the upper front part, can be cut and sanded. In that part of the sidewalls that will be located close to the wall, it is necessary to cut a recess for the plinth measuring 5x5 mm.

To ensure the rigidity of the structure in the middle of the side of the inner vertical wall, we cut out a recess 200x20 mm for installing a transverse panel, which we make from a small shield. We fix all the finished parts with self-tapping screws.

Making a place for the system unit. Do not forget to round dangerous corners and make recesses for the plinth.

Voids under the pedestal and a place for system block hide with slats.

We make a frame for shelves above the table and attach it to collected elements table.

A sawn furniture board of medium size will serve as a blank for the top shelf, and a small board will serve as a middle partition attached to the table top.

Above the pedestal there will be a shelf with a jumper, which we make from a furniture board of the smallest size. We install it in the right place.

It's time to make drawers - the walls are made of edged boards, and the bottom is made of plywood. We connect all the elements with self-tapping screws. We mount guides for drawers and for a sliding shelf-tabletop.

We cut out the tabletop for the keyboard from a shield 400 mm wide. We start cutting shields on the front elements of the boxes.

We disassemble the entire structure, process it with a grinder and cover each of its components with a two-layer varnish ball.

Let the varnish dry, perform final assembly table, mount the handles - and our computer table is ready!
Desk made of furniture board, wood or chipboard
A piece of furniture like desk is an irreplaceable element of a study or a student's room. There is always a place for books, notebooks and working documents in it. To make such a table, you need three furniture panels of different widths - 200, 400 and 600 mm, as well as other basic materials and tools listed at the beginning of the article.

• plywood sheet 6 mm thick;
• bar 20x20 mm;
• square.

The process of making a desk.

In general, the process of making a desk is practically the same as the process of making a computer desk. The only difference is that the desk is a more massive structure containing more boxes, shelves, niches. First, we make a drawing of the product and designate all dimensions.

We make the tabletop from the largest shield - we cut it out, round the corners, fasten it, reinforce it with bars.

We cut out the pencil cases from a medium-sized furniture board. Round off the top corners of the sides.

We cut out shelves measuring 400x350 mm, as well as doors for niches. Having cut the blanks for the plinths, we complete the manufacture of the frame. Having cut out two squares of 70x70 mm in size from plywood, we cut them diagonally. The resulting triangles must be placed on back side frame. We align the frame with a square and fix it with triangles.

The frame is ready.

We cut and install the shelves at the distance corresponding to the drawing.

Install guides.

Cut out the details of the boxes and fasten them.

Cut and install doors.

We disassemble our table into its constituent elements and, having carefully processed it with a grinder, open it with varnish in two layers. We finally assemble the product. We fix the tabletop with bolts. We install shelves and plinth on corner holders. We mount the fittings, having previously made holes in the attachment points.

Everything is ready.

So we gave examples handmade three options for a table from a furniture board. What other furniture can be made from a furniture board, wood or chipboard with your own hands?

We make a cabinet from a furniture board (from wood or chipboard)

A wardrobe from a furniture board, the manufacturing process of which is described below, will perfectly fit into the interior of a nursery or hallway. All dimensions given in the description of works can be adjusted at will.

The basic materials and tools that you will definitely need to make any furniture from a shield have been described above. In this case, you will need 7 furniture panels: three with a size of 2000x600x18 mm, three - 2000x400x18 mm and one - 2000x200x18 mm.

Additional materials and tools necessary for the manufacture of the cabinet:

hardboard sheet;

plywood sheet 6 mm thick;

· bar for hangers;

Two bars for fastening the rod.

Cabinet manufacturing process.

We make the sides of the cabinet from boards, shortening the width of each by 70 mm, since the depth of the cabinet, according to the standard, should be 530 mm. In the lower corner of each sidewall, it is also necessary to cut a notch 50x50 mm under the plinth.

We make the bottom and top of the shelves for the boxes - leave 775 mm wide when sawing the shield. The height of the boxes should be 200 mm, and the gap between them should be 20 mm.

The top of the cabinet should be slightly wider than the drawer shelves - 800 mm.

We fix the bottom of the cabinet with self-tapping screws to the sidewalls at a height of 50 mm above the floor, the middle part - at a height of 420 mm. We use a shield with a width of 400 mm as a shelf for hats, it must be fixed at a distance of 200 mm from the top. We fix the base with the help of corner holders. The hardboard sheet will serve as the back wall of the cabinet. We carefully fasten everything with self-tapping screws - and the frame is ready.

We fix the sliding mechanism for drawers close to the sidewalls, since front sides boxes will be overlapped.

We cut out the elements of the boxes from plywood. In the process of sawing, every 100 mm we make holes along the workpiece so that the plywood sheet does not crack during assembly. We collect and insert boxes into the cabinet. From the narrowest shield we make the front parts, but they will need to be fixed only at the very end of the cabinet assembly.

We cut the doors out of a shield 400 mm wide, we carry out a fitting - the doors should cover the middle shelf. From the top of the doors we cut off the corners, grind with a machine until smooth transitions between the sides are formed. We drill three holes for the hinges on each sash. We install hinges, fasten the doors.

Bars with drilled holes fasten under the bar to the sidewalls with self-tapping screws.

We disassemble the furniture and cover each of its components with varnish in two layers. Let the varnish dry well and assemble the cabinet.

We make holes for handles in drawers and doors. We install the facades, mount the handles, while connecting the plywood part of the boxes located in front and the front part made of a shield. Check if everything is securely fastened. The cabinet is complete. It is interesting to know that your old closet can also find a new life with.

Making a chest of drawers from a wooden or chipboard furniture board

A chest of drawers is a versatile piece of furniture. It is multifunctional and practical, so it will find a place in the nursery, and in the hallway, and in the bedroom. To make a chest of drawers, the first step is to purchase a furniture board measuring 2000x400x18 mm. Other basic materials and tools that will be required in the furniture manufacturing process are listed at the beginning of the article.

Additional materials and tools needed to make a chest of drawers:

• a sheet of plywood, the thickness of which is 6 mm;
• dowels.

The process of making a chest of drawers.

After the development of the drawing with the establishment of the dimensions of all necessary details we cut out the frame elements from the shields and fasten them with self-tapping screws. In the back wall we make a wash down under the baseboard measuring 50x50 mm.

For aesthetic reasons, the cover is attached to the frame not with screws, but with dowels.

Cut out the sides and ends of the drawers. The outer elements are also sawn out, but are not attached at this stage. We strengthen retractable mechanisms for boxes (you can not buy them, but make them yourself), we check their performance.

We disassemble the frame and polish each component. Opening the chest of drawers furniture varnish, after complete drying, we assemble the frame again, insert the boxes.

We drill holes in the boxes and their loose outer elements, fasten them with handles.

It turned out to be a great dresser!

Making a hallway from wood, chipboard furniture board

The hallway, the manufacturing process of which is described below, has a number of advantages:

• multifunctionality;
• aesthetic appeal;
• naturalness;
• the ability to help create order.

Before starting work, it is necessary to prepare the basic material and tools, the list of which is given above. When making a hallway, you will need 10 furniture panels: seven with a size of 1600x400x18 mm, three - 2000x400x18 mm.

Additional materials and tools necessary for the manufacture of the hallway:

• seven edged boards 2000x120x16 mm;
• two grooved boards 2000x240x18 mm;
• three-meter rail;
• six-millimeter sheet of plywood;
• dowels.

hallway manufacturing process

We begin work with the manufacture of cabinets 820x400x400 mm. To do this, one of the shields with a length of 1600 mm is launched into its components. Do not forget to make a groove under the plinth. We connect all the manufactured parts with self-tapping screws, except for the bottom bar - we fasten it with dowels.

We cut out the door for the cabinet, mount the fittings, install the door.

We also make the sliding mechanism for the cabinet ourselves from plywood strips 20 and 40 mm wide. After installing the mechanism, we check its operation.

We cut out the details for the boxes and connect them with self-tapping screws, having previously drilled holes for them. We also cut out the facades of the drawers, but do not install them up to complete assembly products.

We attach the upper part of the cabinet with dowels.

We cut out the details and assemble the second cabinet 820x500x400 mm. We manufacture and install doors.

A two-meter furniture board will serve as a material for the pencil case. We cut out the constituent elements of the pencil case and fasten them together with self-tapping screws. Remember about the recesses under the plinth.

“Plywood corners will help to strengthen the rigidity and reliability of the structure.

We outline the places for attaching the shelves, calculate the distance between the boards, which we will fasten to the rail.

Cutting and installing top shelf for storing hats. To install it, you will need leftovers from previous cuts.

We disassemble, grind and varnish the entire structure.

After the varnish has dried, we assemble the hallway again, fasten it with self-tapping screws to the wall. At the end we screw the handles. Product completed!

Making a bed from wood or chipboard furniture board

A wooden bed is what you need, because furniture board made of needles is an environmentally friendly material. The project provides for two spacious drawers and bumpers to prevent the child from falling.

Initially, we prepare the main material and tools, a list of which is given at the very beginning of the article. The main material is a furniture board 2000x200x18 mm.

The furniture board is durable natural wood, which is produced by gluing lamellas from various types of wood in a press. Many underestimate given material, because they mistakenly take it for waste carpentry production. For gluing wooden lamellas, special safe formulations, which makes it possible to use the furniture board as a countertop. Furniture with such a tabletop looks expensive and creates special atmosphere coziness and home comfort. If you need a tabletop made of furniture board, then order natural material from Siberian larch or pine you can at the Larix company.

Advantages of a furniture board for the manufacture of countertops

The furniture board can be made of any type of wood, which determines its main characteristics. We offer our customers lumber from Siberian larch, which has many advantages:

• increased strength;
• environmental friendliness;
• aesthetic appeal;
• heat resistance;
• durability;
• resistance to temperature changes;
• resistance to decay and deformation.

These characteristics make it the best option for the price and quality for the production of countertops for the kitchen, because it is always in sight and will be subjected to significant loads.

What type of furniture board to choose

There are three types of furniture board:

• extra-class - uniform in texture, has no defects in the form of cores and knots, consists of solid lamellas;
• grades A - without defects, even in tone;
• grade B - is distinguished by a uniform color and the presence of small knots.

Glossy tile, beautiful artificial stone, impact-resistant glass, silver stainless steel - from what material modern kitchen countertops! However, despite the high humidity and temperature fluctuations, many traditionally prefer wood. Let's try to figure out why a wooden countertop is good for the kitchen and whether it can be made on your own.

Wood and its substitutes, chipboard and fiberboard, are ideal for the production of modern kitchen furniture. Soft, pliable, sensitive to high humidity the material after special processing becomes sufficiently strong, wear-resistant and stable. At the same time, it retains its attractive appearance: a beautiful natural pattern cannot be confused with anything.

Admirers of environmental cleanliness in the interior can afford a tabletop made of a single piece of wood, but do not forget that solid oak, ash, cherry or walnut is much more expensive than practical chipboard. If you are not constrained by funds, pay attention to breeds such as iroko or wenge - the treated surface will have excellent functional and aesthetic characteristics.

Magnificent oak that never goes out of style

When ordering a kitchen, “wooden” usually means any product that is somehow related to wood. In fact, manufacturers offer furniture from the following materials:

• Chipboard, chipboard, MDF, fiberboard - boards containing wood shavings or fibers bonded with natural or synthetic glue;
• veneer - decorative sheets made of wood not thicker than 10 mm (usually from 3 mm to 5 mm), which are glued to external surfaces;
• solid wood - pieces of solid wood, the most suitable for processing, but characterized by a high cost.

Sometimes professionals use interesting technology: several sheets of different breeds are glued together and a blank is obtained, which bypasses even an array in terms of plasticity and strength.

MDF finish skillfully imitating reed

For self-manufacturing furniture, it is better to use a carpentry or furniture shield, since an inexpensive tree will also fit for its assembly, besides, the processing process is somewhat simplified.

Do-it-yourself wooden tabletop

We offer a simple option for making do-it-yourself countertops for a kitchen made of wood, or rather, from a special blank, which is called a joiner's shield. It can be replaced solid wood(in this case, you should focus on durable, but easy-to-process breeds, such as walnut).

Preparation of materials and tools

You should not hurry with the choice of wood, since the behavior and duration of the “life” of the product depend on its characteristics. Soft breeds are generally not suitable for creating working surface, on which they will constantly cut, beat, beat off. It is better to choose blanks hard rock, which include cherry, oak, cherry, teak.

Wood is a living elastic material that easily changes shape with changes in air parameters. indoors with high level humidity, which is the kitchen, the fibers quickly absorb moisture and swell, as a result of which the product is deformed. To prevent this from happening, processing with special natural or chemical compounds. They will soak upper layer boards and increase moisture resistance.

Exist easy option manufacturing furniture parts– order by individual sizes. It is necessary to independently make calculations (or even better - call a specialist) and take them to a company that produces furniture. There, on milling and jointing machines, they will cut out within 1-2 days necessary elements, which will remain at home to connect and process. Or do everything yourself, but it will take more time.

So, if you decide to make a tabletop from boards or furniture panels, you will need the following tool:

• jointer;
• hacksaw;
• drill;
• cutter;
• thickness gauge;
• sandpaper;
• marking tool - pencil, tape measure, square;
• impregnation-antiseptic;
• wood glue;
• LKM - paint or varnish.

The main details will be well dried wooden planks, and nails and self-tapping screws will act as fasteners. It is better to select elements that are the same in size.

Assembly of the base - carpentry shield

Processing boards must be done in 2 stages - before assembly and after it.

The work plan looks like this:

• level the surface of non-planed boards with a planer or jointer;
• sand the surface of each part with sandpaper;
• treat on all sides, including grooves, with an antiseptic;
• collect parts in one canvas;
• cut holes for the stove, sink, pipes, etc.;
• install the shield in place;
• treat again with impregnation or stain;
• varnish or paint.

Now in more detail.

If you have taken up the independent processing of furniture, then most likely you have experience working as a planer. The grinding technique also does not raise questions, so let's focus on antiseptics. AT construction stores many types are sold, but we need a solution for internal works.

Assortment of antiseptic Senezh Akvadecor

Great option– interior wood protective oil NEOMID. natural oils, which are part of it, protect against moisture and ultraviolet radiation, prevent the appearance of mold, and make the wood pattern more expressive. Aquatex primer has similar properties.

Parts can be connected in two ways:

• edge bonding;
• spike-groove technology;
• edge-groove method.

The first method is simple to implement, but not reliable.

Bonding design joiner's shield

If you need to glue several small elements, it is better to replace it with the second solution. But the most effective is the third method, well known to everyone who has ever assembled a lining.

The lining initially has cutouts along the edges for connection using the edge-groove technique

Another name for this method is tongue-and-groove. If it is difficult to make even edges at home, you need to contact the service where the boards will be processed for milling machine. Most cheap way- process thick plywood or MDF sheets. If they are thin (12-14 mm), the grooves and edges will also be thin.

Great build result

You can use a coarser tongue and groove connection, but it is more appropriate for the situation. country house or terraces. After joining with simultaneous gluing, it is necessary to cover the entire canvas with impregnation or universal decorative varnish.

Cover and the nuances of its manufacture

To hide ugly edges with visible joints, it is necessary to make a lining - a thin protective edge made of wooden blocks. This is a variant of veneering, but made in a cruder technique. The bars are not glued or welded with technical hair dryer, and sit down using the "edge-groove" technology, as when connecting product parts.

Bars for lining before installation

The lining should be harder than the base, so you can use blanks from a different breed. Soft pine is best edged with a more durable birch or beech. Along the edges of the finished furniture board tabletop with hand cutter a comb is cut out, and on the bars, on the contrary, a groove is being prepared suitable sizes- approximately 10 mm x 12 mm. The width of the bars should match the width of the product or slightly exceed it. After assembly, milling and grinding is required.

High-quality gluing contributes to a tighter compression. To ensure it, metal clamps are used - large adjustable brackets. They pull the product together from opposite sides and leave until the glue dries completely.

Visible narrow gaps between the elements overwrite wood dust. The reliability of the lining can be increased by additionally strengthening the corners with self-tapping screws - one on each side. Self-tapping screws are twisted at an angle, slightly recessed in the wood, and the resulting pits are sealed with putty. The decorative layer is applied last.

Combined with plastic

Finishing with plastic sheets is possible in two cases:

• when making a new table;
• to repair old furniture.

The base remains wooden as before, only the upper surface is veneered, sometimes the edges. Plastic does not give in to deformation, retains its shape, despite temperature changes and humidity. Exist special types kitchen polymer coating about 1 mm thick, which, when combined with wood- particle boards becomes hard and wear-resistant.

Glossy plastic looks amazing

Sheets of plastic with liquid nails or universal adhesive attached to wooden surface if it is already installed. When making a new product, it is better to use a more practical inexpensive material- chipboard panel. If a sink and a hob are installed on the same shield, it is better to strengthen it with support bars. They are fixed on the underside across the length, on the sides of the equipment cutouts.

Small shields are cut from a single sheet of DPS, but for strength they are placed in a frame of hardwood - lining. Both for fastening the crossbars and for the lining, double fixation is used - carpentry glue and self-tapping screws. Holes for self-tapping screws are pre-drilled with a drill with thin drill.

Plastic is glued last. Liquid nails are applied around the perimeter and in the center on a smooth, cleaned surface of the base, treated from mold and fungus. Carefully lay a sheet of plastic, fitted in size and shape. To make the fastening more reliable, you can put a load on top, and fix the edges with clamps. If there is no lining, then a strip of plastic should also be put along the edge.

A popular option is plastic "under the tree"

Before covering with plastic wooden table top, you can get acquainted with other options - from artificial stone or ceramic tiles.

How to make a tabletop from a finished furniture board

Consider another option, a simpler one, for which we apply an already cut blank made at a furniture factory (such services are provided by some furniture companies) to order. This is convenient when you need to urgently make repairs or you need a workpiece that is difficult to process on your own - with curved edges, rounded corners, and many holes.

Features of drafting a project

When placing an order, you must provide the following information:

• the exact dimensions of the shield and all openings (if equipment is planned to be inserted);
• surface color;
• type of material.

It is better to pre-draw a diagram or call a company representative for accurate calculations.

The sizes will be individual, and the type will have to be chosen from the proposed samples. Assortment on furniture factories usually wide, offer panels different thickness and with different coverage. The cost depends on the category, the cheapest are laminated chipboard, the most expensive solid wood from precious woods.

Included with the tabletop is a dining group made of furniture board

The color and cladding must be chosen, focusing on the style of the interior and the color of the furniture. For example, a panel of any color is combined with white cabinets, and only neutral shades are combined with green cabinets.

What is needed for work

Additional processing of the cut blank is not required, so only tools for installation are needed. These include a drill with nozzles, a screwdriver with a set of self-tapping screws. You should also purchase wood glue and sealant.

Self-cutting blanks with a hacksaw

If you are considering various options do-it-yourself countertops, among them there may be projects consisting of several parts. This happens when the table has a large length or complex shape. To connect the fragments from the outside, aluminum strips are usually used, which completely close the gap. Most often they are mounted on self-tapping screws.

Similar overlays, flat and in the form of corners, close the edges, if necessary additional protection from mechanical damage.

Brief installation instructions

Before mounting the panel, prepare all floor cabinets, that is, just install them in their places. The sink should be near sewer drain, hob - close to gas pipe or sockets.

Operating procedure:

• coat the top ends or surfaces of cabinets with wood glue;
• put ready product to the place intended for him;
• check the accuracy of the location of the cut holes;
• fasten the shield with screws or self-tapping screws using the corners.

In this way, the top panel will be stably fixed with glue and screws.

Window sill and table of the same design

There is usually a narrow gap between the wall and the table, which spoils the appearance of the structure and further creates inconvenience when cleaning the room. It is covered with furniture plinth. Modern models of wall plinths consist of two parts, one of which is fixed on the table surface with self-tapping screws, the second (narrow bar) is decorative element. Visible edges set bar closed with end caps.

The nuances of working with chipboard

Chipboard boards are quite popular, especially when assembling economical kitchens, so pay attention to the following information.

Chipboard blanks are pasted over with a film on all sides

Suppose you have prefabricated panels Chipboard, which must be adjusted to specific dimensions or given to them certain form. When sawing into pieces, there may be a problem with maintaining the decorative layer. Chipboard is different from conventional particle boards those that are already covered with a melamine film - strong and wear-resistant, but tearing when sawing with a hacksaw.

professional processing circular saw

For delicate sawing, it is necessary to use a thin tool - a jigsaw or an electric jigsaw. The most aggressive way is the work of a grinder, in this case it should not be used. If you need to cut a large sheet, it is better to use a professional circular saw.

Work with an electric jigsaw at home

The technology of work is as follows: first, at the place of the cut, we make a sufficiently deep incision (3 mm) with a construction knife, then carefully saw along it with a jigsaw. We choose a file that tears the material on one side. A smooth edge can be maintained if the blade is preheated. To make the cut even, use a guide tape.

Case assembly

The assembly of the body is carried out on a flat floor base. To begin with, all parts are connected dry. To do this, holes for dowels are drilled or milled at the junction of the side upper and lower walls.

Dowels with a rectangular section, as shown in the photo, provide more high strength connections. However, round dowels are easier to use, as drilling a hole is easier than cutting a rectangular hole in the wood. The dowels are hammered into the holes with a wooden mallet and all parts are connected into a single body.

We check the corners of the assembled body, they must be straight. If the structure is assembled correctly, we strengthen the assembled body with confirmations. To do this, we drill holes with a special drill for the Euroscrew. If a special drill with a milling cutter, we drill holes with a diameter of 3 mm and additionally make a hole under the head of the screw with an 8 mm drill to a depth of 5 mm.

When drilling holes for confirmations and when screwing in screws, it is advisable to pull off the case angle clamps to keep the design straight. We screw in the confirmations so that they are flush with the surface. Subsequently, the hole for confirmations can be closed with a plug or putty.

Filling

Filling is set in accordance with the selected drawing. The first step is to install the filling, which provides additional rigidity to the entire structure - we are talking about shelves that are attached to the cabinet walls with their edges.

To fasten the shelves, you can use self-tapping screws that are screwed through the side walls, but with this method of fastening, you will have to hide traces of self-tapping screws from the outside of the cabinet. There is another option - the shelves are attached to the corners, which are installed with inside corps.

We make drawers and doors

Boxes, if provided for by the design of the cabinet, are assembled from boards and plywood. The frame of the box is assembled from boards with a thickness of 20 mm - the front, back and side walls. From below the box is lined with plywood. To install the boxes, roller or ball guides are used.

Installation of doors begins with the marking and installation of hinges. The preferred option is the installation of hinged adjustable hinges with a closer. Under such fittings in door leaf recesses are milled into which loops are recessed. The counterpart of the hinge is attached to the wall from the inside of the cabinet.

After the door is hinged, handles and locking devices are attached to it, selected in accordance with the nature of the use of the cabinet.

If the furniture is made for home use, instead of installing locking fittings, you can get by with holes, as shown in the photo. This option is good for its simplicity, comfort of use and at the same time stylish design.

Lacquering and decoration

On the final stage Assembling finished furniture is processed with paints and varnishes.

If the assembly was done carefully and there are no visible gaps, chips and other defects on the surface of the wood, the entire surface is covered with stain and then varnished. If there are defects on the wood, they are eliminated using putty. But in this case, the furniture is not stained, but painted with a continuous layer of enamel.
