Manufacturing process: step by step instructions

We will make the tabletop of wooden boards

How to make a kitchen table with your own hands? Consider this on the example of a regular dinner table. First of all we prepare the tools and materials that will be needed for work.

The scheme of the future dining table with dimensions

Then we make the markup of furniture elements. We start from the tabletop, as this is the largest part of the table. In shape, it can be rectangular, round, square or oval. If you have conceived to make the table of unusual shape, markup to draw on the sketches.

We sand the boards with a plane, carefully process the edges so that the boards lie as close as possible to each other

We join the boards with glue and dowels, remove excess glue on the surface and grind it

Then we apply the side racks to the material - these will be the legs of the future table. Most often, the form they imitate a chess piece. If you want, you can make other forms on your own. The main thing that the design was sustainable.

We fasten the legs and make the basis for the table top

Then we perform the marking of the upper and lower rails, which will connect the racks and thereby ensure the reliability of the design. Remember that the lower crossbar is always almost twice as wide as the upper one. Her form is diverse. Usually the legs are placed from the edge of the table surface at a distance of 15-20 cm.

Fixing the crossbars of the table

At the next stage of work, we make cutting of elements. We place the material on the table. Cut the tabletop using a jigsaw. In order to avoid chipping, we place plywood under the bottom.Similarly, cut out the remaining parts. Do not allow material to sag. Because of this, the tool may break or break the cut-out element. At the end of the cutting edge of the parts we grind with a special machine or go through it with sandpaper.

Fasten the legs to the long crossbars and drill holes in them in order to install the tabletop later.

Using the tape for the edges and the plastic profile, produce facing. First, put the profile on the edge of the surface. In the place of angular bending, the profile must be heated with a hairdryer and then rotated. For high-quality fastening use universal glue.

After the glue in the frame dries, you can install the countertop on the frame

Then we make the facing of the legs and crossbars, using a tape for shaping the edge. Before this we prepare the surface, cleaning it from dirt and grease. Hot iron press the tape on the edge and glue it. With a sharp knife cut off the excess. The resulting irregularities gently remove the sandpaper. In the same way we process edges of other elements.

If you want to make the table longer and wider, then you need to strengthen it with two additional transverse planks

We assemble the table in the following order. Using confirmatics, we connect the legs to the crossbeams, positioning the upper one so as to prevent the table top from sagging. Bottom fastened at a height of 20-25 cm from the floor.

Ready assembled table it remains only to process the varnish or stain or paint, previously progrunttov

We place the table top on the finished base, fix it on the corners. Attach to the rack leg-lining. Furniture screws decorate stubs. Everything, the dining table is ready!
