We determine the design and construction
The transformer can be provided with one or two benches, with backs and armrests, or without them. Their size will also determine the home master, based on the needs of the family and their own creative vision.
To make the product strong and durable, you need to choose the right lumber.
For work you will need:
- edged boards;
- wooden beam.
At the same time, experienced owners claim that beech, ash, oak or birch wood will be suitable. You can use a pine, but you have to choose very carefully, avoiding blanks on which there are many knots.
Prepare the tools
To keep things moving without stopping, and time was spent as efficiently as possible, it is important to prepare the tools, not forgetting any trifle:
- desktop trimming machine: greatly facilitate the work; you can perform operations and manually with a small-toothed hacksaw, and use a protractor for marking;
- electric drill and drill;
- Planer or chamfering machine;
- Phillips screwdriver;
- sanding small installation or sandpaper bar;
- rasp.
Additionally, PVA glue and wood screws can be useful.
Manufacturing process: step by step instructions
Reliability and durability of operation depends on accuracy and sequence of performance.
To ensure that all parts of the product were at hand, the masters recommend before starting to work on the drawing, where its elements are indicated, immediately prepare the legs (8 pieces) up to 70 cm long, making oblique cuts on them at the bottom and top.
The next step is to make the worktop. You need five planks in dimensions defined by the drawing..
They need to be sanded and joined with slats eight centimeters wide. Two connecting parts is enough.
All connect screws.
When the bench is ready, countertop screwed to it.
If you intend to design with two seats, you can begin to manufacture the first; its value depends on the general parameters of the product; according to the drawing it is made of boards (1-2 pieces); their number corresponds to the width of the bench.
- The seats are screwed to the legs;
- below they are reinforced with struts.
The second shop is made similarly:
- legs are made from 40x40 bars; they are attached to the seat in the shape of the letter "A";
- parts of the bench are connected with a bar, strengthened for durability with wood glue and self-tapping screws;
- if it is assumed that a back is attached to the bench, it is made of planks, reinforced with bars, struts, carpenter glue and self-tapping screws.
The next step is to assemble the prepared parts of the product. To avoid unpleasant surprises, it is necessary to assemble a transforming table, alternately connecting the elements together and referring to the drawing.
The nuance that attracts attention is the observance of the same height of parts. If everything is done correctly, in accordance with the drawing, after the completion of the work you will see a lovely sofa.
The back must be securely strengthened; for this purpose, holes are drilled in the joints where the furniture bolts are screwed.
Then check the correctness of manufacturing and strengthening the backrest-table tops.. A simple reliable way to check will be opening and fixing with a regular stick.
If everything opens and closes without difficulty, without much effort, the shops are connected to each other.
For complete convenience and comfort, you can mount the armrests. For their manufacture you need:
- two plates for stands;
- four - for mounting to the seat.
They are fixed with wooden dowels or glued with carpenter's PVA. To complete this part of the work you need to make a kind of lever that allows you to freely fold and unfold the transformer.. You will need a timber fixed with furniture screws and nuts, and it is connected to the armrest with self-tapping screws.
If the calculations are done correctly and the details are connected correctly, you get a wonderful table with two attached seats, which can be easily disassembled and assembled.
Dressing
If it is assumed that the bench bench transformer will be located on the street, to increase the strength and longer life is worth painting and varnish.
A design idea can be widely developed when the time comes to decorate, especially for this, the backs of shops and seats. You can decorate them:
- drawings painted with colored acrylic paints and varnish;
- decoupage pictures;
- cute figures of funny animals inflicted by an electric burner;
- jigsaw saw out a beautiful floral ornament or figurines of heroes of favorite fairy tales; attach them with glue and screws to the backs.
