Rocking chair from plywood do it yourself

Affordable and distributed material in construction is plywood. It is widely used for the manufacture of furniture.

This material has a lot of advantages:

• with plywood easy to work;
• easily light and saw;
• easy to handle;
• the cost is low;
• material is available on sale in any construction store.

Despite the available price, the strength of the finished product will be the same as the chair made of wood. Accordingly, the sheet of plywood is not inferior to natural material, and sometimes even exceeds (it all depends on the thickness of the sheet).

Before you start cutting a sheet on the workpiece, we advise you to prepare the material. It is necessary to process a sheet of plywood with a special means protecting against moisture penetration. Then the chair can be moved and used not only indoors, but also on the street.

To work, you will need:

• plywood sheets - 3 pcs. one size 1520 per 800 mm, the thickness is needed: 4, 10, 15 mm;
• screws or screws - set;
• glue for carpentry work;
• electric jigsaw;
• it is still useful to a ruler and pencil;
• morid or varnish;
• tassel.

Production of rocking chairs with their own hands:

1. In order to start cutting, you will need drawings for making a rocking chair with your own hands. The drawing is not necessary to have a ready-made sample. You can easily make the drawing independently, given the dimensions of the armchairs and materials.
2. The drawing is ready, now you need to make a workpiece or pattern. To work, select several sheets of dense cardboard to move the pattern and cut the parts on them.
3. We proceed to markup: on a piece of plywood, pencil outline contour.
4. After completing this stage of work, all parts can be quickly cut off using an electric jig. This not only facilitates the workflow, but also accelerates it. Now you can quickly collect all the details.
5. The procedure for preparing the details: When operating an electrolovka, it is necessary to cut the side elements from a plywood sheet of plywood with a thickness of 15 mm, they must be the most durable. In addition, from the same sheet it is necessary to cut the supports for seating and planks (2 pcs.). The size of the blanks 470 is 45 mm.
6. Also need a transverse bar 540 per 45 mm, as well as another 485 plane at 45 mm.
7. The second sheet, a thickness of 10 mm, we must cut into 18 thin planks, 540 width by 30 mm. Of these, we will collect a back. Still prepare 16 transverse slats, 500 per 30 mm (for seating).
8. There is a thin sheet from which the squares cut out - this is the base for seating and back.
9. The next step - you need to handle every detail - namely, sanded sandpaper. Every detail must be smooth and free of burrs.
10. And that's not all, you need to cover all the blank lacquer or stain (optional). To work need to narrow brush. By the way, instead of the protective measures at its discretion, you can choose any color paint. It is important to wait for the complete drying of the workpieces in order to proceed to the next phase of work.
11. When harvesting dried up, it is necessary to drill holes and assemble parts. At this stage, the assembly is desirable to impregnate all joints preforms joiner's glue, to increase the strength of the product.
12. Cap screws need to hide, using special plugs (also sold in the store).
13. To make a footrest, need one more detail that is not necessary to buy in the store, if we use the handle of a shovel or rake. The length of such a stand should be about 53 cm. The stand can be unnecessary.

Here is a chair you can easily do yourself, spending a minimum of time and effort:

Rocking chair with his hands in wood

Such wood furniture looks presentable, but the cost is obtained, even if you do own chair, not as cheap as a chair made of plywood. Nevertheless, if there is a goal, the obstacles will be. And we give a hint: you can buy a tree in a warehouse of building materials, if this will be the board (pine needles, oak or larch) or, for example, wooden pallets. If they are disassembled and prepared, got an excellent seat.

List of tools and materials:

• pallets - 3 pieces. standard size;
• wooden beams 50 to 100 mm, take 3.7 (possible and 4, with a margin) running meters;
• bar length must be 60 cm (perhaps you have a ready-made bars of this size);
• threaded rods 90 cm long - 4 pcs .;
• + bolts snap washer - 12 mm in diameter;
• m10 bolts size of 50 mm plus the same washers and nuts - 6 pc .;
• carpenter's glue;
• strong cardboard tubes with a wall thickness of 5 mm;
• power Tools: jigsaw and drill;
• 2 sheets of sandpaper grit 100 and 200 units.

How to make a rocking chair with his hands:

1. The first step - dismantling the pallets. Parse gently pull all the metal compound that was not in the boards or screws, staples or nails. All this should be removed.
2. All corners of the damaged pieces and uneven edge or the need to cut off a clean.
3. 6 prepared by the boards of the workpiece do 2: frame in the shape of a trapezoid.
4. We take the following 4 bars to make the side parts of the seat of the chair in the form of the letter "L". Any connections in the paper must be performed by the "Bunch" method.
5. The blanks intended for the manufacture of the base (location) need to round the saw, and all the resulting burrs - to determine the sandpaper.
6. It is important to strengthen the stability of the finished product, the front part of the support is necessary to make shorter and bend more than the rear. They should be longer and are not so rounded as the front.
7. In order to insert the upper supports in the clock, we make holes before fixing the workpiece.
8. Be sure to compound the connection additionally soak the construction glue. After fixing, the workpiece must be left to complete drying at least 8 hours.
9. This can not be done, but it is better not to be lazy and still drill in the middle of each support (in the clamns) holes to additionally fix the workpiece. Such a double fastening method will increase the design and then the chair will endure even a fat person with a lot of weight (or child + adult).
10. The sidewalls are blanks for seating - they need to drill holes in order to connect to each other and insert cardboard tubes. In order for dust to do not accumulate in the holes, we make a small step (just 5 mm). To circulate air of this hole, it is enough.
11. Before fixing the tubes, they need to be additionally missed by glue.
12. Now, after the preliminary assembly of the main parts, you can continue assembling the rocking chair chairs and in the side part, in the connection site, insert the rods (there must be a thread) to be tied with nuts. So we will force the stiffness of the structure. Unnecessary protruding ends are desirable to trim.
13. Next, it is necessary to clean the sandpaper of the glue on the surface of the tree on the surface of the tree, clean and open lacquer (or paint paint).

After complete drying, you can check your work in action, and we recommend to compile a complete picture of understanding, what size will get a rocking chair, made with your own hands, watch this video. Footage:
