How to make If the area of the apartment is smalland when buying new furniture there are difficulties with choosing a place, then items with multifunctional characteristics are irreplaceable in such a situation. Transformer products are very popular now.
A transformable coffee table will help you saveuseful space of the room. There are such models on sale, but they are very expensive. Therefore, you can make a transforming coffee table with your own hands. This piece of furniture when folded is a coffee table, and when unfolded it turns into a large dining table.
Technology of manufacturing the table transformer
Materials and tools:
Scheme of the transforming table.
- sheets of particle board;
- the mechanism of transformation;
- pipes 20x20 mm;
- bolts 8x60 mm;
- metal corner;
- building level;
- nuts;
- washers;
- self-tapping screws;
- loops.
How to make a transformable coffee table?First of all, you need to buy a product transformation mechanism in the store. Currently, there are various versions of such devices from different manufacturers on sale. The choice is quite large. The device has a special gas lift or springs in its design, with the help of which the model is transformed. These elements ensure a fairly soft and smooth movement of the product. A simpler device is based on a spring. This option is more durable and reliable. In the finished product, it will look more aesthetically pleasing, since the spring is inside the mechanism body and is not visible when the transforming table is assembled into a coffee or dining version.

Development of the table design
You can make a project of a future product inspecialized computer program. This work can be done by anyone familiar with the computer. In this case, it is possible to make a model of the specimen in a three-dimensional image.
Possible dimensions of the transforming table.Knowing the dimensions of the transformation mechanism, select the dimensions of the future model in both versions. When the project is ready, it is necessary to purchase the necessary materials. To make the model, you will need chipboard sheets. You can cut sheets of the required sizes to order in a specialized workshop. When the sheets of the appropriate sizes are ready, they need to be placed on a flat surface, you can on the floor. It is better to choose a chipboard thickness of 22 mm for making the structure. The tabletop of the dining room will be made from such a sheet. The transformation mechanism is designed for such loads. The body of the model can be made from a chipboard sheet 16 mm thick. In the workshop, the edges of the chipboard sheets are processed. Then you need to purchase tools for assembling the model. Return to the table of contents</a>
Assembly of the table construction
First, the frame is assembled.The frame of the product is mounted on confirmats. A strong drill is used for this. Then marks are made on the chipboard sheets using a marker. After this, the transformation mechanism is installed in the frame. It is necessary to install springs beforehand, with the help of which the model will be unfolded and its smooth movement will be ensured. The transformation mechanism must be installed using a through method. The weight of the device is quite large, so the structure must be strong. After this, the device is secured. In order for the product fasteners not to be visible, the installation of overhead legs is provided, which will hide all the additional parts. After this, marks are made of the places where the fasteners will be installed. Then, holes are drilled in the necessary places for installing the bolts. After this, a special place is prepared with a strong drill, where the bolt heads will be hidden. The device is fixed to the model frame using bolted connections. The walls of the product are connected to each other using bolts. After the device is installed, they begin to fix the legs of the product. The legs must withstand the weight of the entire structure, which is 40-50 kg. In addition, they must withstand the weight of the items that will be on the table. Therefore, the legs are fastened together with ties. After that, the legs are screwed to the structure. In advance, for the correct installation of the legs, it is necessary to make the appropriate marks. The horizontality of the structure and observance of right angles should be controlled using a building level. Drill holes for installing the legs. They need to be installed on metal bushings. Then proceed to installing the tabletop. It must be assembled very carefully, since the tabletop transformation mechanism must be reliable and perform a smooth unfolding of the tabletop. Then make marks for the holes. Fastening elements will be installed in these holes. After this, the product is installed. Adjust the tabletop unfolding mechanism. Drill holes for installing the tabletops. Using screws, attach a small tabletop to the structure. Then, similarly, make holes for the fasteners and install a large tabletop in its place. The transforming coffee dining table is ready. This structure must be very strong to withstand all loads. After making the model, it is necessary to check how the transformation mechanism works. If there are any errors in the operation of the mechanism, then it can be adjusted. A transforming coffee table made using this technology will ensure the creation of a durable and reliable structure with a long service life.
