14. Brutal elegance


The available version of the making legs for the coffee table is the usual plastic or metal pipes, interconnected by fittings. This furniture will perfectly fit into the interior in the Loft style.

15. From the usual wooden bar


Wooden bar, folded in a checker, will be a tabletop for a homemade coffee table. The legs can be made of thick metal wire.

In order for the interior to look harmonious, it is necessary to take care not only about the details, but also about the finishing of the room. Continuing the topic -

The table with your own hands may well be made even a homemade master who does not have any accumulated experience in the joinery craft. Of course, it will be possible if the design of the table will be sufficiently simple and understandable.

For example, find a suitable ready-made table model for a kitchen with overly small dimensions is not always obtained. Purchase to order furniture from the wood array - sufficiently placed. Therefore, it is sometimes necessary to take care of the tools and design your own "work" yourself, pushing out the specific sizes of the place where the table is planned.

In addition, a desire often arises to show their creative abilities in the conditions of giving, especially since there is always a desire to beautifully equip the veranda or a gazebo of a country site. If there are suitable materials and tools at hand, then you can or sit for drawing up the drawing of the future table, or take advantage of the finished project, and then proceed to work.

To understand which of the types of tables under the power to build with your own hands, it is desirable to consider several options for this subject of furniture.

Tools for work

Before starting work, you must prepare the appropriate tools that will be required for the manufacture of any wooden table. The amount of material for each model will be different.


You can use ordinary, traditional hand tools that have always worked carpenters. This list usually includes:

  1. The plans to be aligned with wood and drive items to the desired size.
  2. The chisels for sampling of various holes and grooves, removing small protrusions.
  3. Saws of different sizes and modifications that cut thick boards or make minor drums.
  4. Pencil, roulette, corner and ruler.
  5. Screwdriver Set.
  6. Clamps for temporary fixation of glued parts.
  7. Sanding paper for grinding.

Many of the tools can be replaced by more modern and convenient devices:

  • Electric jigscription will perform all the work for which they used to be used, the various saws mentioned above.


Rating electroballs
  • The grinding machine will help to make the surfaces even and pulses them to the brilliance, will save from the very tedious handling procedure with emery paper.

  • Milling machine with a set of cutters. This device will help rounding sharp corners, drill curly grooves under furniture loops, and if you need a certain experience, you can decorate the table with a relief pattern with it.
  • Significantly accelerates work, as it will have to spend on the twist of each self-proof for a few minutes. In addition, it is possible to install one of the cutters or conventional drills in it with certain operations, for example, in order to process the edge or make a perfectly smooth large or fine hole (groove).
  • The building level will help make the product smooth and neat, as it will show all possible irregularities and skews.

So that the finished furniture does not work out "dashed", the assembly is controlled by the level

Easy in the manufacture of a table for the country area


Make a similar country table - forces to each

Necessary materials

For such a country having a size of a tabletop of 1680 × 850 mm, it will not be necessary for a very large amount of wooden blanks. It is necessary to prepare the following:

  1. Bar, section - 750 × 100 × 50 mm - 4 pcs. (Table legs).
  2. Self-tapping screws, bolts and, possibly, metal corners.
  3. Carpentry glue.
  4. Board, size:
  • 1680 × 100 × 25 mm - 4 pcs. (longitudinal framework elements);
  • 850 × 100 × 25 mm - 2 pcs. (transverse framework parts);
  • 1580 × 100 × 25 mm - 2 pcs. (facing boards for the side elements of the frame);
  • 950 × 100 × 25 mm - 17 pcs. (Boards for the table top).

All wooden elements must be processed by the compositions and have a prepared smooth surface. If it is planned to "darken" wood, then it is covered with a verse, and for the manifestation of the texture pattern - on top neatly passed the grinding machine. Sanding paper with small grain will remove the blurred sublime parts of the wood pattern, and they will become lighter than recess.

Installation of garden table

When all parts for the frame will be prepared, you can go to the assembly.


Frame or "Box"
  • The first step of the work-table framework details are four longitudinal boards of 1680 × 100 × 25 mm and two end 850 × 100 × 25 mm, laid out on the big table or on the floor. On the end boards there is a markup of the location of the internal and exterior boards. Using a ruler, relying on the drawing, the desired distances are measured and the pencil is marked. Be sure to accurately note the width of the longitudinal board at the junction with the end, especially if the connection is to pass in the insertion method.

The connection of the elements can be carried out in different ways:


Connection with the choice of a "quarter" and using metal corners

- with the help of a steel corner - this is the easiest and most reliable way;

- the method of the insert is a more complex way, since it requires exact dimensions not only in the width and length of the connecting elements, but also in the depth of the board;


Several types of connection on the principle of "Ship-Paz"

- "Paz-Schip" shown in the second figure a), b), c), d) and e) such a compound is also quite difficult for beginner masters who do not have experience;

- The connection of the wizards is shown on Fenther E) - this method also requires ideal accuracy when marking and drumming the holes in the parts connected.

  • All compounds are usually carried out with glue. An exception is only fastening the details of the metal corner.
  • The frame must have perfectly verified direct angles, so after connecting all the elements, you need to control the construction of the construction corner and measurement and comparing the length of the diagonals.
  • If the parts are fixed with glue, they must be fixed in clamps and leave it to the complete burden, otherwise they will be connected unreliable.

  • When the glue is driving, and the frame will acquire a certain rigidity, facing boards are fixed to external longitudinal sides of a size of 1580 × 100 × 25 mm. The place of their attachments also need to be placed, since in their edges there should be a distance for the installation of the legs. Facing boards are also placed on glue and fixed with self-drawing, the hats of which should be dried in wood by 1.5 ÷ 2.0 mm.

  • The next step is the transverse case of the countertop boards 950 × 100 × 25 mm. The place of consolidation is also needed to first place, starting from the middle of the frame, as they must be installed at a distance of 5 mm from each other. Table tops over the frame should be 25 mm from all four sides.
  • Further, each of the boards are fixed in four places to the longitudinal elements of the "box" of the table, and the extreme boards are also to the end parties. So that the hats of the screws were recessed, for them in the boards, the recesses with a diameter of 8 mm are drilled into a depth of 2 ÷ 3 mm, then, in the center of these recesses, the drill of a smaller diameter (usually - 3 mm) through holes are dried, in which the self-tapping screws will be screwed. In order to avoid cracking of boards during installation work, through holes must be drilled.

  • After that, on the edges of the longitudinal boards, the legs of a bar with a cross section of 750 × 100 × 50 mm are fixed, they must accurately coincide with the width of the table top.

The next step - the legs are installed
  • The legs can be fixed to the frame by self-drawing, but it is better to fix each of them with two bolts, placing them on the diagonal of the connection site. Through the bolts are drilled through holes, and the twisting of the nuts on them is made from the inside of the frame using the key.
  • The final stage of manufacturing is seeding with screws of self-tapping screws with a mixture made of joinery or epoxy glue and sawdust. This homemade putty fill the deepening over the hats and well smash. After grazeing the glue all the worktop, and especially the places closed by the "plugs" of the glue, you need to polish well.

  • After that, the table can be covered with varnish or water-based paint. Waving to dry the decorating or protective layer, the product can be installed in the country gazebo, on the veranda or terrace in the recreation area.

If desired, the set to the table will be easy to make or bench.

Small folding table for kitchen


Such a small folding table is perfect for a small kitchen or a very small room.

  1. Its design is arranged in such a way that the countertop cannot work independently if the feet of the table will be condemned, so the table is quite safe for installation in the children's room.
  2. The presence of a bilateral spacious bedside table will allow you to store various trifles and small toys.
  3. The table is equipped with a tabletop of sufficient size so that the child, sitting behind him, could perform homework.
  4. In addition, there will be a place for a laptop on the worktop or the books necessary for studying books.
  5. If necessary, this small table can easily be replaced with an ironing board, if you have a soft tissue on its surface.

Given all the above, the table can be called multifunctional, despite the very compact dimensions.

Installation of folding table stands

Start the manufacture of the table stands with the most important and large part of its details - countertops. Since the folding table, this element will consist of two parts - stationary and "mobile", that is, that which can be thrown down if necessary. In the folded state, this table may well perform the role of a conventional compact standby.

IllustrationBrief description of the operation

The first step of plywood with a thickness of 25 mm, using a jigsaw or circular saw, it is necessary to cut the blanks for the table top, the size of 600 × 600 and 600 × 475 mm.

Next, the larger panel is marked - the semicircle is drawn up, since the front of the table should be rounded.
In order to achieve the correct form of the semicircle, you can use a large building circulation, or make it yourself - from the nail, pencil and rope.

Then, according to the noted, the tabletop curly.
This can be done using a jigsaw or circular saw by installing an appropriate zircle nozzle on it.

Further, the milling machine is set to the cutter of the desired configuration, which will make the edges of the table top smooth, optionally - smooth or rounded.

The milling part of the panel is treated with a milling part, leaving a smooth one side that will stick with the second part of the table top.
The edges are then processed.

The next step, the two treated parts of the table top are laid on a flat table at a distance of 5 mm from each other.
Marking is made to install furniture loops. They must be placed at a distance of 100-120 mm from the edge of the table top.
Furniture loops can have a different form, so they should be put on the marked place and circle with a simple pencil.
Then, with the help of a milling mill in the plywood, special curly grooves are arranged, the depth of which should be equal to the thickness of the furniture loops.
In the finished holes of the loops are fixed with the help of self-tapping screws.

After connecting the hinges of two parts of the table, in the middle of the panels, there is a markup from the bottom side to secure parts that form a closed channel for the movement of the moving feet of the table.
Guides must be fixed at a distance of 30 mm from the joint of two parts of the table.
For the manufacture of parts, plywood is 18 mm thick. Then, cut out of it and processed by a mill of 10 elements: 530 × 30 mm in size - 2 pcs., 530 × 20 mm - 2pcs, 120 × 30 mm - 2 pcs., 120 × 30 × 20 mm - 2pc., 122 × 20 mm -1 pcs.
It is important to remember that long rails must have from one edge, and short elements on both sides of the sections of 45˚ so that when docking, they formed a straight angle. In addition, the upper long and short parts fixed on top of the lower rails of the guides are cut from the ends, also at an angle of 45˚. These sections are necessary to ensure that their corners do not interfere with the foot of the legs by the resulting channel.
Then, to the discharged section of the rounded, and then to the rectangular part of the tabletop are glued with carbon glue parts. First, they are fixed on the glue, and then screwed up the longest rails having a size of 530 × 20 mm, then overlaps the channel part 122 × 20 mm.
On top of long and short fixed rivers are pasted by second, having the same length, but large widths are also additionally screwed by self-draws. Thus, a smooth channel forms between the tabletop and the upper rail, along which the leg will move.
It is very important to calculate the location of spouts of screws in so that the upper does not come across those that fix the lower rails.
Similarly, four parts and on the rectangular part of the table top are fixed.
All items should be processed before smoothness and perfectly fixed with each other, otherwise the leg when moving will be stumbled on obstacles and jam.

The leg is usually made on the lathe. If it is not, then it can be ordered to order it at the master or buy in the finished form.
As a last resort, you can make it square, processing the timing of the desired height before smoothness.
Then, on the upper end part of the leg with the help of a duct and glue is fixed exactly in the center, the guide square plate of plywood, having dimensions of 80 × 80 × 18 mm.

Next, after drying the glue, the leg can be installed in the channel intended for it and test for its free movement, without jamming.
If necessary, you can carry out minor fit and refinement.

The finished countertop is painted, or is covered with a water-based varnish - if the goal is set to preserve the factory drawing of plywood.
After that, the finished countertop is laying aside and go to the manufacture of the couch.

Elements of the cabinets do not have complex configurations, so it is enough to make them enough on the MDF panel or a thick phaneer to accurately move the dimensions of the parts specified in the table, and gently cut them out them with a jigsaw or saws.
After the items are made, their end parts must be processed before smoothness by the milling mill, otherwise they will look inactively.

If you plan to leave the visible end parts of the details of the chandeliers with a special laminated edge ribbon, then this process is carried out using a conventional iron.
The tape on the inner side has a layer of glue, which is heated under the influence of heat and ensures reliable fixation of the edge on the surface of the end parts of the MDF panels.

The next step in the door panel of the cabinets you need to make curly grooves in which furniture loops will be fixed and fixed.
The holes are made in the same way as in the tabletop using a millingrer, but in this case the mill can be installed in the screwdriver, since the MDF has a smaller density than glued plywood and is easier to process without material chip.
The loop should be located at a distance of 100 mm from the edges of the door - before the start of drilling you need to spend thorough markup.
A similar procedure is carried out with the wall of the couch to which the door will be fixed.
Then the door of the door is joined among themselves, to check the correctness of the installation and for the holes for the screws for the screws.

In addition to loops, you can immediately fasten the prepared handle.
To do this, retreating the edge of the panel 50 mm and finding a convenient position in height, the point is noted through which the through hole is drilled to fix the handle.

All made parts of the cabinet are painted paint selected color with roller and brush.
The paint will not only make the product aesthetically attractive, but also protects the material from the negative effect of a specific kitchen wet environment.

Next, you can go to the assembly of the bedside tables.
Professionals spend this process using special tools, but they can be completely replaced by appliant devices. For example, you can assemble on a flat table, and for the convenience of installing the cabinets, it is additionally installed on smooth bars.
Mutual fastening of parts can be carried out with the help of wooden drums, metal furniture corners or screws - the last option is the easiest, but also the most unreliable. In addition, hats of self-assembly after assembly will have to mask various compositions.
The assembly process occurs as follows:
- The bottom panel is laid on the stand.
- It is set to it in terms of the level and with the help of a construction corner one of the side panels and its location is marked with a pencil.
- And the same is planned on the horizontal and vertical panel the location of the fastening parts.
- exactly the same procedure is carried out with the second side and separation middle wall.
- Then, on the marked points of the bottom and end sides of the side panels, holes are drilled to install the waders.
- After that, before gluing the parts, the locations are defined on the side walls to install the shelves. Then, in the marked places mounted brackets-shelters for which holes are also drilled.
- Next, in the holes, drilled in the bottom, are mounted glued by glue, the side walls are put on the upper, protruding part.
- the non-removable jumper shelves are mounted in the same way, simultaneously with the side walls.

Before you continue to work, you need to make sure that the glue in the collected design is good.
In order for the cabinet to stood tougher, it is placed on the side and for the breakdown squeezed by clamps.

While driving glue, you can take a drawer assembly.
Since it will be completely assembled from MDF, the installation of the box can also be carried out with the help of a wanking.
The lateral sides are assigned to the bottom part of the box, and the line has a pencil, and then marked seats where the sewage will be installed.
Then, the sidewalls are removed, and on the marked places, the holes are drilled in their end to install fasteners. The same is done on the bottom panel.
Further, the wrenches are missing with glue and gently inserted into the holes, connecting the sidewalls with the bottom.

Bathrooms are twisted with the help of self-tapping screws, the hats of which are recommended to be dried into wood, and the holes should be sealing from epoxy glue and sawdust.
Another fastening option can become furniture corners, which are from the inside are screwed to the sidewalls by self-draws. Each of the sides will take two corners.

Collecting the box, it is necessary to control the evenness of its corners with a construction corner and a change in diagonals, otherwise there may be a skew.

If it is planned to install metal roller guides for a lightweight drawer, then to start on the sidewalls of the boxes and on the inner walls of the cabinet, the place of their attachment is determined.
To do this, with the help of a pencil and ruler, the line is drawn, on which the guides will be enshrined.

Next, the front panel is installed to the front of the box. It is screwed from the inside of the drawer, through pre-placed and drilled holes.
Recommended In addition to the screws for fastening the panel, use the glue: it is applied to the front panel, and then the facade is pressed to it, and they are tightened with four-five screws.
After grazing the glue in the center of the front panel, the hole is drilled through which the handle is screwed.

Finally, the long-awaited moment comes - the connection of the stands and countertops.
The stationary part of the countertop is recommended to first be glued to the surface of the couch, and then fasten it with self-strokes, which are screwed from the inside of the lower cabinets.
But first, the countertop must be right. A part of the channel located on the stationaryly installed tabletop panel must be restarted into the side of the couch - it will serve as a stopper for the movement of the legs towards the table.
The countertop should go beyond the edges of the cutter on the side of the drawer by 50 mm, open shelves by 30 mm, and from the side of the leg - 120 mm.

Securing the tabletop, go to the final installation and screwing on the dormitory of the bedside tables.
Then the retractable box is inserted, and the shelves are installed on the shelves.

In the closed state, the compact table, so it does not take up much space and looks quite aesthetic.
If you wish to decorate it, you can choose other colors that will be better harmony with the interior of a particular room.

In the open state, the table will also not take much space and perfectly fit into one of the corners of the room.
Thanks to its "easy" design, it does not waste the interior, and the shape of the tabletop makes it safe for children. Therefore, this option can be considered ideal for small apartments with small kitchens and rooms.

If there is a need to save money, or simply there is a big desire to show yourself in joiner's work, then you should not postpone self-making. Moreover, the assembly will become not only interesting and useful, but also very pleasant, especially at the moment when the work will be successfully completed.

For those who are confident in their abilities, another interesting version of the round table, which may well serve both at home and in the territory of the site.

And one more idea of \u200b\u200bthe kitchen table, to realize themselves, which is incorrect, will also be able to skillful owner:

In the ash of a beautiful wood. It was from him that I decided to make myself a desk. Start decided from the manufacture of legs.
Unfortunately, I do not have a lathe. In such a situation, you can make legs to order on a CNC milling machine. The guys make truly beautiful and complex things. But firstly, it is expensive, and secondly is not interesting.
You can just just make straight legs yourself.
But I still decided to make legs with some decor.
So, that's what we have at the beginning: unedged ash board-fifty.


Reducing the board we get here such curved and coarse blanks

First of all, they need to calibrate. Standard procedure. At the beginning of Fugansk, we derive two plates perpendicular to each other.

And after that, the reysmaus is equal to the blanks in thickness and customize the size.

Yeah, Catan is not pine. Beautiful drawing, noble color, pleasant severity.

It would seem that it could be easier. Passed the workpiece on the template and process it with a cutter with a bearing. But like shopping with instruments in search of a suitable straight cutter with the upper bearing could not find such with a working height of more than 38 mm. But the cutters with the lower bearing can have a working height of 76.2 mm! I had to buy a mill with a lower bearing.
To work with such a cutter, the template had to modify a little. The lower part of the template made 10 mm plywood to reduce the departure of the cutter. The side wall made the plywood stroke - 27 mm so that the template is safer than the corners. Well, it brought all the elements by the confirmates.
The whole idea in one photo:

One side of the frame is closed. When the workpiece is installed in the frame, it rests on this partition for more accurate positioning. Next, the workpiece is fixed with clamps on both sides. During operation, you can direct the frame holding for these clamps.

Trial launch showed that the cutter can leave the chips on decorative elements rumped over the main material. That this does not occur in places of decorative crests installed bars.

The result of processing one side of the leg is visible in the following photo.

Turn the workpiece in the frame for 90 degrees, fix, process. As a result, we get a pretty pretty result.

Of course, this method cannot fully replace the lathe, but some freedom of creativity also provides. It remains only to spill the resulting cube at the end of the leg. I like the result.

The table is the necessary attribute of kitchen furniture. To date, manufacturers for the production of tables apply a lot of materials. Great variety of shapes for tables for the table, they are more than twenty. In the traditional version there are four legs. In most cases, standard models have a square table top or rectangular.

Wooden dining table of rectangular shape with four legs

Table with three legs is usually round. It can be used as a small coffee table or as a dining area.

Round wooden table table with three legs

There are tables and with two legs, they can be different, but are mainly common models having two x-shaped legs or durable made of array.

The legs of the table are attached to the kings of the support frame, and they, in turn, fasten the worktop

Many masters know that the incorrectly attached legs are the root cause that the table will swing and stand under the tilt. There are regulatory supports that can correct the large percentage of inclination, but still a high-quality assembly has paramount importance.

There are several options for fastening legs to table tops:

Attaching the leg with surface plates

Attaching legs with T-shaped nuts

Fastening the table tops to the tsargs of the table without using additional accessories with screws

The use of small metal Z-brackets - another popular method of attaching table top

Fixing with surface plates Suppose you bought legs without appropriate fittings. To install them, you will need bolts with ear and eyeles for larger tables and braided the threaded for small.
Fixing on T-shaped nuts This mounting option is suitable if you intend to restore the facial plane of the table and thus give the interior updated look. You have in stock should be T-shaped nuts, bolts with ear and eyeles.
Fastening on screws This is an ordinary and tested way to attach the surface of the table to the kings without the use of auxiliary fittings. Suitable for furniture classic option.
Application of z-shaped holders The use of small iron z-fasteners is another, which is popular for the fixation method. The main advantages of this method are low cost, simple and reliable installation.
Application of wooden clamps Easy and durable method of attaching table tops without using purchasing fittings. They are similar to Z-shaped holders. They are made from any trimming, it suffices to observe the orientation of the fibers.
Use eight holders These metal fasteners are widely used when attaching countertops. They are two species - with washers of the same and different magnitude.
Applying spacers with grooves In this case, 2 or 3 auxiliary struts with grooves of a rectangular shape are attached to the kings of the kit with the grooves of a rectangular shape, the length of which is 10-15 mm.

The use of homemade wooden clamps is a simple and reliable method of fastening countertops to a podstol without purchasing fittings

Steel fasteners-eight - option using inexpensive fittings
