drovnitsa Forms and materials for their manufacture

To begin to explore what kinds drovnitsa are and what materials they are made.It is important to immediately understand the concepts, since the word "drovnitsa" can mean two things: a large outdoor drovnitsa or small - home.Outdoor canopies are building a different shape for storage and drying of a large stock of firewood.Small portable woodpile placed near the fireplace.And it is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also practical.They piled a small supply of wood in order not to run into the street every time you just have to throw in a fireplace log.In addition, it avoids the regular cleanups premises, because the wood scattered on the floor, do not add to the purity of the house.

Home drovnitsy often portable.They impose firewood from primary storage and brought into the house.They are light in weight, generally have the shape of a basket.Sometimes they do more, with two handles to carry alone.These options drovnitsa convenient because there is no need to keep the wood in his hands.This will prevent contamination of clothing and the emergence of splinters.

second option drovnitsa room - fixed, unmovable.They put the wood, brought from the street personally, they serve the usual stand.For example, forged drovnitsy quite heavy, so they rarely make a handle.The main advantage, unlike mobile drovnitsa is stability.Lightweight, portable, easy to turn drovnitsy unsuccessfully put on the floor or hooking his foot.Note that fixed drovnitsu should be placed away from the source to prevent fire.

Log holders for the fireplace is made from materials such as:

• vine,
• skin,
• tree,
• metal, in particular steel,
• forged metal.

To make drovnitsy fireplace with his hands, and other materials used as well as the means at hand.Alternatively, in a conventional backpack sidewall cut - and drovnitsa ready.To be safe, instead of a rag handle bolted to the top of a wooden backpack.

Regardless of the material, shape drovnitsa vary widely;for example, make a solid base and a lattice or perforated.Indoor woodpile, as a rule, have a U-shaped or V-shaped supports.It is not by chance - provided that it will be laid logs of different lengths.

3. Cut the outlined contour of the sidewall.

4. Thoroughly sanded edges.

5. We make a stand for drovnitsy:

• cut out of wood two transverse side wall of the size of the barrel, so that the top of each side wall was rounded off by the diameter of the barrel;
• take two wooden rod and prune them according to the length of the finished product - they will serve as longitudinal supports for the resulting drovnitsy;
• at the edges of the transverse sides make two holes corresponding to the diameter of the rods;
• insert the longitudinal rods in the lateral sidewall of the stand.

6. Brush the paint on metal hoops and wooden items - stained.

How do drovnitsu of rolled metal

Consider the example of the manufacture of simple construction of a metal rod square 8 × 8 mm:

1. snapped a four-rod equal to 30-40 cm in length
2. weld them so as to obtain a square base..
3. Make sidewall for drovnitsy.For this arch shaped rod the two long U (160-180 cm).The distance between the legs should be the same length as the base side.
4. welded to the base of the prepared sidewall.The ends of the long rods serve as feet stand, so they need to perform below the square base of 2-3 cm. Dougie, respectively, are top of the drovnitsy.

• inserted into the center hole copper wire.It will serve as a handle products, so long should be left corresponding to the height desired drovnitsy.The ends of copper rods Bends pliers.
• The remaining holes insert willow twigs.Bends them at an angle so as to subsequently weave sidewalls.

• based on received start weaving.Completing the work are bent willow stand each in turn, and the plant it for the previous one.Hide the ends of willow twigs in the whiplash on the inside of the basket.
