We cut out parts for product assembly according to the following parameters: door (40 * 30 cm), bottom panel (46 * 30 cm), back wall of the bedside table (75 * 30 cm), side walls (75 * 46 cm), large shelf (45 * 29 cm ), a small shelf (45 * 28cm), working surface (tabletop) (95 * 48cm).
- Step two. We glue the side parts of all parts with the edge of polyvinyl chloride. For convenience, it is better to fix every detail on special clamps. We apply to the surface edge, cut off with a margin and put the heated iron. After the glue has melted, remove the iron and smooth the surface with a soft cloth. Since the glue instantly freezes, it needs to be done very quickly. Excess edges cut with a metal ruler. It is very important to remember that a thin edge is glued with the help of an iron very easily; when using a more dense edge, edges are first processed with a mill. For the glue to melt, a hair dryer used in construction work is taken.
- The third stage. We collect a bedside table. In order for the fasteners to tightly connect the parts, it is necessary to make two holes in the side machines for the 45 * 29 cm shelf and two holes on the other side. Shelf will be mounted on the dowels, just with their use we collect the nightstand completely. To dowel well entrenched, we moisten them with glue.
- Stage Four. Screw the eccentric rods inside at a distance of 1.5 cm from the hole made under the shelf 45 * 29 cm.
- Fifth stage. In the canvas prepared for the back wall, we drill four holes, put glue on the fixing parts of the PVA and place them in the holes. In the details of the shelf 45 * 29 cm we drill holes, retreating from the edge about 1 cm, on the side parts of the part we make holes for eccentrics.
- Stage Six. We fix the fasteners on the side with glue, install the shelf and fasten it.
- Seventh stage. We take the second part of the partition, smear it with glue and connect it to the shelf with a size of 45 * 29 cm, using previously prepared eccentrics.
- The eighth stage. It is necessary to make holes, departing 20 mm from the edge of the part. For this, we use the Forster drill. Using screws, we fix the door hinges with four hinges. In the same way we fasten the counter strips, departing from the edge of about 3-5 cm.
- The ninth stage. We finish the assembly of the bedside table. It is necessary to turn it over and drill a hole with a diameter of 5 mm. In the bottom should be the same hole for better connection. The strength of attachment will provide the dowels greased with glue. Also for these purposes eccentrics can be used. To use them you need a Forster drill. With regards to the legs of the table, they can be bought ready-made or made from small bars and secured to the bottom using self-tapping screws.
- Stage ten. Now you need to attach to the surface of the table leg. To do this, using a screwdriver, make two holes approximately 20-25 cm from the edge. In these holes we put shkant and eccentric. This mount is suitable for portable equipment.In the manufacture of this object to be constantly in one place, you can use the corners, which are fixed to the surface with dowels, as fasteners. Make sure that the holes are made to coincide with the side panels. To be sure it is best to chart them with a pencil.
