Stool with own hands made of wood

A small wooden stool is needed in every house. It is with pleasure that children sit. It is convenient to use in the kitchen, for example, for cleaning vegetables. You can buy such a piece of furniture. But it is much more interesting to make a stool from a tree with your own hands. Let's look at what this process consists of.

Making a stool from a tree with your own hands

To make a small stool of wood with our own hands, we will need:

  1. First we need to mark out the future details of our stool. To do this, use the pencil and the corner to mark the top of the stool, as well as the side panels. And if for sitting it is necessary to cut out an equal rectangle or a square, it is better to make sideways figured. To do this, make a pattern for the necessary dimensions of one side of thick paper, and then draw it on the board.
  2. We mark on the board a jumper of trapezoid shape. So it looks like a marked board.
  3. We cut out all the details with a jigsaw. Make sure that all sections are smooth. To do this, the jigsaw blade must be traced not along the drawn line, but next to it.
  4. The resulting parts are sanded with large sandpaper. Especially pay attention to the ends and sharp corners, which need to be ironed out. Grinding we will give our details an attractive appearance and hide all the irregularities of the cut.
  5. Now grind the parts with a small sandpaper. This procedure is best done at this stage, because grinding the product assembly will be inconvenient. In addition, after painting the stool, all the flaws will appear. Here's how the polished details of the stool look.
  6. The assembly of the stool begins with the connection of the sides and the jumper, using screws for this.
  7. After placing the construction on a flat surface, screw the screws with screws. If the stool is unsteady, the bottom of the legs should be podsessat.
  8. The last stage is the coloring of the stool. Before doing so, thoroughly clean all surfaces from the wood dust. Decorate the stool on your own. It is possible, by opening it with varnish, to preserve the natural color of the wood. Or paint it in any color you like. If you want to enhance the shine of a colored stool, you can paint it again after the first layer of paint has dried. So it looks like a stool made of wood , made by own hands.
