Apartments in old houses often have onea disadvantage, which is the small size of the premises, which is why their owners have to purchase the corresponding pieces of furniture, which could be installed in such apartments and used with the greatest benefit. A chair, for example, can not occupy much space, which can not be said about other furniture items by the type of table. The kitchen is most often the smallest room in a small apartment, and it is necessary to place there not only a kitchen set, but a table, you can make it yourself by making a folding design. Figure 1. Diagram of a folding table device.

Preparation before work starts

The product will have a foldingcountertop and two frames that act as legs. If the folding table is folded, then in height along the wall it will occupy a space equal to 750 mm, while its width will be 600 mm, and length - 280 mm. The table is fixed to the wall surface with the help of bent wooden supports that can be made of metal. Such a table is very functional, so, after it a child can do homework, and adults can sit at a table with a laptop. The table can hold three. When cutting the workpiece for the countertop, you should not make it too big, since if it exceeds the length of the legs, it will not be possible to fold the structure.

The process of installing the table

Figure 2. Drawing of a folding chair. Schemes of the table can be prepared based on the indicated dimensions and the final form of the structure (Fig. 1). Despite the fact that the design of the product is extremely simple, the installation process must be done with a high degree of accuracy, while constantly referring to the sketch. Do not drill holes incorrectly, as this may cause a weakening of the strength characteristics of the tree. The assembly technology assumes the following stages. Mounting the folding table on its own, initially it is necessary to equip the holes in the ends of the slats, from which it is supposed to get the support frames, it will be necessary to insert nagels into the resulting holes. The lower horizontal bars of the frames should be fixed to the vertical at a distance of 50 mm from the floor, this will allow the construction to be mounted on the legs. In the holes should be added a small amount of glue, you can now install the nails and fold the supports of the structure. It is necessary to make sure that the diagonals of the frames coincide, only after that can they be conjugated by means of joiner clamps. Billets should be left until the glue dries. Reinforced support should be connected using vertical ends and piano loops, screws should be used as fasteners. On one vertical bar, to the opposite side of the hinges, you need to install a bar with dimensions equal to 720x20x20 mm, this element will help to fold the supports. The other end of the workpiece must be fixed to the wall surface. Diagram of a folding chair. On the basis of the need to designate a point for the location of supports. When folding the structure between them should be placed frame-legs. Now you can strengthen the supports to the wall. The design of the table can be not only convenient and functional, but also unusual. To do this, the front corners of the table top should be rounded, in the role of the stencil, you need to apply the lid from the pan. You can make semicircles with a jigsaw, and the resulting cuts must be sanded. The resulting table top should be cut into two parts, one of which will be smaller, the other larger. This procedure should be done with special care, as this will determine the final form of the product. The edges should be given an ideal geometry and well polished. The cutting of blanks can be entrusted to a professional if you are not sure that you can handle it yourself. A small part of the countertop must be fixed to the supports. It needs to be given dimensions, limited to 600x250 mm, this workpiece and will hold a large countertop. Under the small workpiece, the legs of the table will hide. In the prepared details, it is necessary to equip the holes, in which afterwards it will be necessary to install the piano loops, they will hold the folding cover. The small table top fits onto the wall supports and is strengthened with screws. Completely need to spread out the support frames. On the unfolded frame, you need to install a large table-top and fix the piano loops. From the bottom of the cover, it is necessary to strengthen the restraining straps, which will prevent the spontaneous folding of the structure. At the last step, you can check whether the folding table system functions correctly. Why the frames fold and hide under the lid. The large table top is lowered at the same time. A table with a length of 280 mm can be started. In order to ennoble its appearance, the surface can be varnished, as alternative solutions for the decor of the product can be used paint or decorative film. The room of the kitchen will become even more functional, if you also make a folding chair. Back to contents</a>

Manufacturing of a folding chair

In Fig. 2 you can see the drawing of a folding chair, and in Fig. 3 - its final appearance. Before starting the installation, it is possible to prepare a circle Ø350 using beech. In the workpiece for the legs you need to make a groove, and from the top to saw, to get an angle of 30 °. At the bottom, the legs should be rounded. Jumper between these elements must be installed on dowels, pre-set on the glue. The surfaces that will be adjacent should be treated with glue. Assembly should be made on the basis of a drawing, which can be prepared using the scheme presented above. After pairing the elements, you need to pull them together with the clamps, leaving them to dry. The hinges are strengthened by means of screws with dimensions of 3.5 x 16 mm. The legs are mounted on the seat with the use of hinges. Drawings will allow you to properly assemble a chair, but you can make it look more attractive with the help of the following trick. Details need to be wetted, and after drying, it will emphasize the natural texture of the wood. The surface should be treated with fine sandpaper and covered with a tinting varnish. The application of the composition must be made at least twice, this will also protect the stool from external influences. This design can also be used on a picnic.
