tools that will be required to work

Tools require the most common, which often have in the arsenal of every man, who from time to time engaged in minor repairs and other household chores:

• drill with paddle "screwdriver";
• punch (if available);
• drills on a tree;
• different screwdrivers;
• cutter 35 mm.in diameter;
• iron;
• roulette;
• pencil;
• tool "right angle" with a ruler;

Incidentally, the iron in this list was not by mistake, as you first thought.The fact that the cutting of parts you like it or not, it is necessary to book in a carpentry workshop, asto make it on their own, are necessary conditions, special tools and special knowledge.To keep costs to a minimum, you can try to save on the edge glueing.You can buy in the store melamine edge of 0.5mm thick, pick it under the shade of the future tables and paste yourself.It has an adhesive side, which should be applied to the surface of the component and iron hot iron.To bonding surfaces connected well, take a cloth and, without waiting for the cooling of the edge, with a force push her and iron.

material from which we produce our bedsides

In order to determine the choice of materials, it is necessary to examine their types and properties, as well as figure out how much you can spend on them.Cheaper total cost of particle board cabinets.It is because of its low cost, this material is widely used.And the most expensive cabinets are made of natural solid wood.But becausewe now produce a simple, budget option, consider the materials are not expensive:

• chipboard.From this material, we will make the facades of our bedside tables with their own hands.Chipboard - a particle board covered in a decorative coating laminate.This material has a rich palette of colors and textures, it's easy to handle.But not everyone knows that it is impossible to carve out the details of the furniture yourself, asif you saw it in the usual toolbox, the decorative cover will break away, and the place in which took place the saw will ragged and ugly.Therefore, if it is chipboard, the cutting parts is better to book in a carpentry workshop for DIY production of selected tables.

• fiberboard.This fiberboard which is made about the same as the particle, but used as a material of wood fiber instead of sawdust and shavings.Fiberboard are thinner and flexible than DSP.From this material, we will make the bottom of the box and a rear wall cabinets (details that are not visible from the side) in order to save money, becauseMDF is cheaper than particleboard..

tips and tricks that you need to consider when working with chipboard:

• chipboard sheets may have a different thickness - from 1 to 3.8 cm The most commonly used plate thickness of 1.6 cm;

• plate size can also be any, therefore, for the sake of saving money should be to draw the cutting layout circuit components on the plate, and figure out what size it should be to fit on all the structural elements and at the same time to leave a minimum of waste;

• before purchasing the material, it is important to examine it carefully.The surface of the plate must not be damaged, scratches, dents.If they are, it is desirable that they are only on one side, otherwise the product will look bad;

• also need to pay attention to the degree of dryness of the material.It should not be engorged with water, or by drying it will warp, and it simply can not be processed;

• when transporting already cut parts for future designs, from the carpenter's workshop to the house need to ensure that when the car is bouncing on the bumps, they fought against each other and on the body, and are not damaged.The best thing would be to impose the bottom and sides of the body paralon or other material that can soften the blows, and the details themselves are interconnected.

Important information about MDF:

• thickness of furniture fiberboard sheet is from 3 to 5 mm.It affects the strength of the product.But more often this material is used for the manufacture of the internal parts are not visible from the side.In terms of thickness, optimal for these purposes is trehmillimetrovy sheet;

• sizes at MDF, like chipboard, can be different, but, unlike the latter, it is not very important.It so happens that the choice is not simply, as in the store, there is only one format;

• strict criteria of quality MDF does not exist.For our purposes it will be any suitable sheet.But still, it is better to abandon the purchase, if it has a wavy surface.After all, this means that the sheet was wet and warped, and work with it will now be very difficult.

accessories that will be needed to build

By the choice of fasteners should be taken very seriously, because from them depends largely on how long the product will last.The store, which sells furniture accessories must be purchased:

From the foregoing it is already quite clear how it is possible to assemble parts cabinets, we can only mention the two most important technical details:

• collecting locker mandatory need to control the angle is correct.All of them must be straight, otherwise skew structure and facades are not open.

• distance from the edge of the door to the middle of the holes for the hinges equals 2.2 centimeters. This is true in our case, when we have 3.5 cm cutter and the corresponding loop it.Above and below the distance from the edges of generally from 6 to 8 cm. If there are any features of the design, as it is not so important.Further, simply make the door hinges fixed to the desired height and fasten to the body by a securing member.

When the work on the assembly is finished, you can install the product in place and begin to use it.

If you have made the facades of the material, not having a decorative coating, it is better to paint it.This requires degrease first and then its primed.This operation is performed in order to maximize coupling with the surface of the paint tables.

After the primer coat has dried completely, you can start painting.It is best to use acrylic water-based.It dries quickly and does not exude a scent such as solvent-based inks.The dye is better to apply two coats, and before applying the second should be thoroughly dried first.
