The manufacture of furniture from solid wood by own hands at all times was considered a great skill. Worn out of favorite objects most often we notice in the spring, when after winter rest we come to the dacha. Only a person who owns carpentry can create a unique product if the old thing has served its purpose.
How to make garden furniture from the wood by own hands on an example of a garden bench?
- To make a garden bench for the whole family, we make blanks from a non-planed board. Most often it is made from coniferous trees such as pine or spruce and is offered to customers as dried lumber.
- We process the surface of the material. To do this, we need to get rid of roughness and jaggies. If possible, we use an electric plane.
- We transfer the dimensions of the bench to workpieces. The height of the product together with the back is 87 cm. We cut off the extra wood.
- Since the legs of our bench will be curly, we make a drawing on one of the blanks.
- Draw the back of the bench.
- We cut out the picture with a jig saw.
- We transfer the contour of the finished part to the next workpiece prepared for the second leg.
- The details of the front legs are made of a board with a length of 43 cm. It is necessary to circle only the figured part of the back leg and then cut it out.
- We make grooves for joining workpieces. We cut an unnecessary tree with a hacksaw, and then remove it with a chisel.
- We put the parts in the grooves. In the places where they join, we make holes. We twist the parts of the bench with screws.
- We connect the frame with a cross bar.
- We fasten the frame with the backrest and seat.
- Homemade furniture made of wood, created with their own hands, to protect them from rain we cover with varnish. If you buy a wide brush for work, the lacquer will lie evenly and the bench will last much longer.
