It is difficult to find a person who would not want to shine a warm summer evening in a comfortable chair with a cup of tea in his hands. But such furniture, unfortunately, is not available in all houses, most likely, because it stands in stores. In this material we will tell how the rocking chair is created with a pendulum mechanism with their own hands from affordable and understandable materials. We will offer you two most simple designs, the final choice remains yours.

Varieties of rocking chair

Many, at the mention of this phrase, recall furniture from rural areas or all the favorite film about the skilled detective, who loved to think over the next case, looked into a warm plaid and smoking the phone. But we decided to dispel this stereotype, imagine a rocking chair as an ultra-modern and fashionable furniture. It is suitable for any interiors due to the abundance of models presented in the market. Before starting work and make a pendulum rocking chair with your own hands, read the most popular varieties of such products.

Types of seats:

Model on the clamns. This design You can safely be called traditional because the seat is mounted in it by means of curved guides, that is, the poloz. The main plus of this design is low cost and simple assembly. The only minus - when swinging, the crawl is strongly scratched.
Models of pendulum type. Constructions are more complex, they have a fixed base and seat that are connected independently of each other. Such furniture is safe and stable, while it does not harm the floor covering completely.

How to assemble a wooden chair on the clamns on your own?

Have you decided to make a pendulum rocking chair on the clamns? The drawings can be found on the Internet, then simply use the proposed scheme or adjust the proposed dimensions to its discretion, taking into account your own physique and personal preferences.

Make an assembly on the proposed instructions:

Selection of radius for polozov. Make a diagonal pressure on the rail so that then insert the ends of the plywood stripes. Position the trip from each other at a distance sufficient so that the plywood flashes with the necessary radius. At depth, the guilt must be at least 3 cm.

Important! Try to make the guilt strictly perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the main rail, since its curvature will lead to the fact that the polls will simply skew.

Setting a reference point. Insert the plywood band with a length of 1.2 m in the prepared guilt. Note that the distance from the lamella to the rail should be 15 cm in the greatest bend point. Approve the design to the workbench, circle the radius by placing the center on the curved strip. At the workbench, according to the circled radius, lay out the shells, with the help of screws, screw them down to the table. Fanuer screw to the shell.
Installation of limiters. Put the same size bars on the table surface to avoid slaughtering the lamellas, fix them with self-draws on the table.
Printing poloz. Take 8 lamellae, lubricate them with glue, attach to the strip, which is fixed on the staples, align them by the marks put in the center. Right in the center, install the first clamp by laying the bar securely tighten. At the edges of the slave, lock the clamps, but do not tighten too much. Place the clamps towards the center to the edges and tighten. As soon as the lamella package is fully fixed, tighten the most extreme clamps.

Important! Prepare in this form in a fixed state. Leave for several days so that the glue is completely dry.

Combining polozov. Clearly on the grounds at the centers, opposite each other homemade polishes, fix them through the clamps with transverse crossbars. Check how well your design is swinging. Cut at the right angle the ends of the polozov, across the grooves knobs stick them.
Preparation of reinforcing elements. If you install the seat right on the clock from the tree, then they are warranty cracked. Therefore, cut the amplifiers from the board, simply speaking, the same polls, only less long. Make the groovers with a plot of glitter with plots with a milling.
Connection of polls with amplifiers. The surfaces of the glued elements are lubricated with glue, insert the gloves into the technological holes. Connect the crawls with the amplifiers so that they glue along the entire length. Details are torn by clamps to the complete drying of the glue.
Creating side racks. From plywood cut the template drawings according to the shape of the side rack. According to the scheme, cut out six racks. Wooden blanks with applied template Cut with a milling mill. Make on the end of each stage of the grooves under the spikes, pre-mounted in amplifiers.
Gluing side racks. Melt the groove in the side racks, apply it on the spike and near it. Put the rack on the thorn, press tightly to the body of the amplifier. Perform similar steps with both polishes.
Connection of the base. Crossbind concisely with the sidewalls. Do it with self-drawing by screwing them off the outside.
Seat assembly. Cut two sidewalls from a solid board. From the inside cut into them solid longitudinal groove. Connect the sidewalls, inserting the rails and fixing them with glue. Install the rails as close as possible so that the gap is not formed.
Assembly of all elements. Dinet with glue and spikes seat with side supports. Cut and install armrests. Cover the chair with a varnish.

Here is such a wonderful, durable, sustainable and convenient you will get a pendulum rocking chair with your own hands.

How to make an independently metal pendulum chair?

To create such a subject of the interior, you will need:

metal profile 15 by 30 mm;
steel strip 30 mm width and 3 mm thick;
pipe with a diameter of 32 mm;
rod 12 mm.

Naturally, in the work can not do without a brotank with a disk for working on metal, welding machine, measuring tools and clamps. To work with the pipes, you will have to find a special tool for bending a profile.

It will be necessary to perform such actions in a strict sequence:

Production of the drawing in full size. Create the first thing before making a rocking chair's pendulum chair drawing. On the smooth floor, draw the side of the chair. To simplify a job a little, put on the side of some kind of home chair and circle the seat along with the back.

Important! Consider the smaller the curved items in your product, the easier it will collect it.

Creating a housing for bearings. Measure the width of the bearing and cut 8 rings out of the pipe, that is, their number must correspond to the number of bearings used. Made on one side Details of the plug, use for this washer. It is important that the central hole in the washers is to diameter a slightly smaller rod.
Assembling side details of the seat and backs. Inscape the profile on the existing drawing, weld two identical sidewalls. Attach them to the drawing and check the assembly correctness.
Preparation of sidewalls. Using a special device, bring the profile according to the drawing, make such four details.
Seat assembly. Cut 5 jumpers from the profile to the desired length of the chair. Jumpers breed to sidewalls, weld the part of the chair on metallic frame. From the remnants of the profile, bring the handrails, weld them on the sides of the already assembled product.
Seat skin. Cut the pieces from the steel strip so that in length they corresponded to the length of the jumpers and breed them to the skeleton of the seat.
Installation of the bottom support. Weld together ready-made curved profile segments of 2 pieces. We weld along the same piece of profile to the end surfaces of the curved parts, as a result, you will get a design that resembles onions. Using jumpers, weld two sidewalls in the upper and lower part. Finished stools install on a welded base, bring transverse jumpers to it from below.
Attaching movable suspensions. We weld at the bottom of the chair and the top of the curved sides of the bearing nodes with rods inserted into them. Connect the nodes on the sidewalls and the chair the same on the length of the rods.

The rocking chair in most people causes an association with rest and relaxation. Imagination draws a veranda dacha house, Warm Plaid and a glass of wine. Is it possible to make this piece of furniture, synonymous for measured life, do it yourself? After reading this article, even a beginner wizard can easily cope with this task.

Work description

Details of the supporting part of the chair (base - c) perform from the 2x6 cross section of the cross section "(51x152 mm), all others are from the 2x4 slats" (51x102 mm). The size of the base parts is shown in the photo below:

Cut circular saw Planks of the desired length.
So that all internal and external roundings on the details are the same, take advantage of the French line as a stencil, noting the place of contact with the workpiece. You can use other handicrafts, such as a round jar with varnish or primer.
Cut extra with ribbon saw.
The tops of the base consist of three parts that are attached to each other and with low part spikes. To cut the spikes (1 "- 2.5 cm long), make cuts with a depth of about 5 mm, then secure the clamp vertically and cut the saw all too much.
Similarly, prepare the spikes on 3 details of a length of 17.5 inches (44.5 cm). With the help of these billets, we scrape the right and left parts of the base.
Use a milling mill with a 0.75 drill to make non-cabled pump holes to connect to the spikes in the details of the base. The width of the holes should be 0.75 inches (1.9 cm), the depth is 1 inch (2.5 cm).
Apply on the connected surfaces, as well as in the glue groove, tightly secure the parts of the top of the base. Fix the connections with clamps until the glue is completely dry.

If there are excess glue on the seams of connections - remove them immediately with a damp rag or sponge. Then, at the finishing finish, you will not have problems with a non-uniform coating of the product with varnish or verses.

Use the drill to drive the openings of 0.25 inches (0.6 cm) on both sides of the upper parts of the base.

Working a drill, make sure that the drill is included at an angle of 90 degrees. The accuracy of the work performed will depend on the correct operation of the hinges.

Put up the top fragments of the base to the bottom item. Pencil note the seats of preparation of grooves for connecting the upper and lower parts.
Cut the grooves just as they did earlier in the upper base details.
Spread items. To tightly squeeze the uneven edge of the clamps, temporarily cut the carved wood fragments.
Round the corners on the details obtained, carefully pass the surface. Smooth the corners of B. hard to reach places You can with help simple adaptation - Mix a small piece of sandpaper on a dowel.
Start the assembly of two parts forming the database. Apply glue to the connected surfaces, perform connections. Fix the design by several clamps.

The basis is ready, now it's time to proceed to the creation of the seat and backs. For the manufacture we will use 2x6 boards. "

We use the french line lines to get a comfortable seat shape. If a similar form is not comfortable for you, make the necessary changes. The resulting item is used as a pattern for another same (2 side supports of the seat). You can take the following measurements in the photo below.
On each detail of the seat you need to retreat 1.25 "(3.2 cm) from a thinner edge and at an angle of 106 degrees make a groove. It will help in this electronic digital gender.
Via fantorous saw Cut the grooves in the backs of the back of the back of a depth of 3/4 "(7 mm).
Use the drill to prepare at the bottom of the 4-hole seat seats parts for the installation of the chair. They must be located in the form of a quadrangle at an angle of 113 degrees. Slide holes.
Prepare in the center of the opening of the hole for screw mounts when combining parts in the groove.
Start the preparation of the RECEX 23 "(58.4 cm) for the back (15 pieces) and seats (14 pieces). It is advisable to make details of different widthsTo arrange them from thinner in 1 inch (2.5 cm) to thick 2 inches (5 cm).
You can not process one side of each detail - it will be the back of the seat and backs. On the front side of each plank, round all the corners, ends, pass the surface.
At both ends of the slats, measure and mark the places of screw holes for fastening to the bases. Drill holes, ride them at the top.
Assemble the side of the seat together using eight (4 for each compound) 1.4 "(36 mm) deck screws.
Check the strips so that after processing their length was the same. Start the installation of ridges with the screws of the widest planks on low part backs.

So that the distance between the planks is the same, use as a stencil bar, the thickness of which is about 3 mm.

Now cut out 4 blanks of the legs of the chair, as shown in the picture. Each item must be a length of 23.5 inches (59.7 cm), its parallel ends squeeze at an angle of 10 degrees.25. Collect the edges of the details.
Attach the legs to the seat of the chair so that they are installed in the center. The legs should fit tightly, so make a pencil mark on the rails that need to be trimmed.
Attach the legs to the seat on the 4 screw and glue. In this case, the front leg should be placed so that the distance from the lower edge to the base of the seat was 9.8 inches (24.9 cm).
To install the rear legs, remove 3 screws, the placement of which coincides with the place of fastening. Then install the screws and glue again.
Cut the harvesters of armrests from the 1x6 board "(2.5x15.2 cm). The shape of these parts may be arbitrary, but in the end, the place of contact with the back, you need to make a cutout. Do not forget to make the edges of armrests rounded, pollute the surface.
To attach armrests using a device for pocket holes, make 2 holes on the top ends.
Install armrests.
From the remaining pieces of wood or plywood with a special cutter, prepare traffic jams to close the recesses in the joints with screws. If you are going to use the chair outside, it will fight metal fasteners From moisture and damage.
Place the plug in the hole on the glue. Remove protruding over the surface of the part.

Finish finish It should be done when the mechanism of the chair has not yet been assembled. This will save the working condition of metal parts.

If necessary, additionally polish the surface of all parts of the chair.
Cover the wood with a primer. To increase the stability of the material to atmospheric influences, apply 2 layers alternately.
After drying, cover the chair with varnish.
Attach with large screws with bracket nuts with one end to the top of the base, the other to the bottom of the legs. Make it with the displacement so that the line spent through 4 mounting points has formed a trapezium with a large base at the top, as shown in the photo.

A pleasant stay depends not only from the company, but also from the environment, with the help of which it is created. One of the popular furniture items to relax is a rocking chair. This furniture is very common, as it is different original design and practicality. Today, the market can be purchased on the market almost every taste, pick them up under a certain design.

Basic concepts

Rocking chairs are special designs that can change their position. They swing along one line. There are several types of similar mechanisms, among which the pendulum systems (glades) have become specially popular. A feature of such a rocking chair is that the movement is carried out with the help of a special mechanism.It is based on several bearings that allow you to split the seat. At the same time, the base of the chair remains stationary, which is very convenient in small rooms. The swing angle depends on the length of the suspensions that form the framework of the product.

Benefits of the system

The pendulum rocking chairs appeared a long time ago, but they became popular now. They have a few weighty advantages in front of other types of structures:

Safety. This characteristic is one of the most important. The design of the pendulum mechanism eliminates the turning of the product while driving. So you can protect not only yourself, but also others.
Practicality.The base of the chair does not move, which does not allow it to damage the floor covering.
Silent.The mechanisms of the pendulum when moving do not publish almost no sounds, which allows them to exploit them even in the bedroom.
Ergonomic. The design can be made of various materials that are perfectly adapted for different interiors. It should be noted that the rocking chair can be used in the same way as a full-fledged chair.

Rocking of pendulum type very often use mothers. Such furniture allows you to rapid the child, spending the minimum of effort. Today there is a whole direction of the chairs of a rocking chair for moms. Such products are distinguished by a unique form of the back and convenience. This reduces the load on the body while holding the child in hand.

Materials

Headers are pretty simple designs that can be made with your own hands. Starting making, you should familiarize yourself with possible options Performances:

Wooden chairs. They are made of boards and bars, connect all special fasteners.
Metal constructions.The gladers of this type are quite common, as they differ in durability and originality. Metal is very plastic, which allows you to create unique frames that are suitable under various styles interior.
Braided chairs. The main material here uses a vine or artificial Rattan.. It should be noted that the pendulum mechanism itself is made from the stronger material (wood or metal). Chairs of this type are very beautiful and durable.

It should be noted that all the materials described may be combined with each other. This allows you to get beautiful and durable designs.

You can make the swinging chair using ready-made drawings that are easy to find on the Internet. Sometimes you should use schemes metal structures. For pendulum design, you will need the following:

Boards size 51 × 152 mm and 51 × 102 mm. For such purposes you can use Massive pine.
Hinge - 4 things.
Special screws For pocket holes.
Paints and varnishes. It can be attributed here - from the primer to the protective varnish.
Glue.
Instruments. To work with the tree you will need a circular, drill with a set of drills, sandpaper, grinding machine and much more.

Algorithm

The process of creating a rocking chair consists of such consecutive operations:

First, the pendulum is going. It consists of two main parts that are connected by hinges. It is formed from wooden bars, which need to be cut by a selected drawing. For the connection, grooves and glue use. It should be started only after the bonded surfaces are dried.
The next step is Making a seat. The backing form can be different, but many claim to better choose the classics. First of all, a frame is created, which must repeat the form of the back. Make it from the bars, which connect between themselves several transverse supports.
