Currently, there is a large number of different children's chairs. Made of plastic and wood, with a table for feeding or without it, a variety of models can introduce into the difficulty of any adult. However, it is worth noting that the prices for children's chairs are also distinguished by their diversity, and in most cases can be democratic with a large stretch. And this parameter for parents with a small child is largely decisive. In this case, there is one right output - make a children's chair yourself. With small knowledge and experience in working with a tree - this task will be "on the shoulder". Materials for the manufacture of children's chairs are very easy. Both wood and fasteners can be either found in my garage or cheap to buy in any construction store. So, how to make a chair with your own hands - hereinafter.
Chair wooden kids: drawing
Before starting work, it is necessary to prepare a drawing of the future product. Due to which it is possible to correctly estimate the required amount of materials, the sequence of work, the appearance of the future product.
One of the most simple ways of preparing the drawing is a "copy from nature". To do this, you can take a finished product, and, armed with a caliper, tape measure and a ruler, remove the dimensions from it. After that, simply transfer results to the drawing. If there are design knowledge, you can experiment and create a children's chair with your own hands, which will be an exclusive product.
Whatever the drawing option is chosen, it is necessary to remember that this piece of furniture is intended for a child. Therefore, the product, first of all, should be safe. The chair must have excellent stability. A little child is constantly trying to learn the world around, he spins, trying to get to toys. At this time, the center of gravity of the chair constantly shifts, so the child can easily fall and hurt. The chair should not have sharp corners, all metal parts must be hidden in tight.
For very little better, it is better to provide a small table so that they can eat. If the child is fidget, you can enable seat belts in the project.
What makes a children's chair do it yourself
Naturally, the quality of the material from which you can make a highchair with your own hands, depends on the cash capabilities of the parents. If the means allow, it is better to use the array of high-quality wood. With their lack of lack, the chair can make their plywood and chipboard. Such models, though they do not look attractive, but their value is much lower.
When choosing a wood array, preference is better to give deciduous rocks. The best choice for the manufacture of furniture - beech. It has an average density and is quite easily processed, unlike oak. At the same time, the wood beech looks attractive and serves a long time. The only disadvantage of this tree is the price, although it, of course, is less than that of oak. With a lack of funds, it is possible to use wood birch.
Plywood is another pretty popular material for the manufacture of children's furniture. Due to its multi-layer structure, this material has a rather large margin of safety. At the same time, using the technique of through thread, you can make a rather interesting subject of the interior. As a rule, chairs made from plywood are painted.
Chipboard is one of the cheapest manufacturer options. It is simply processed, it is inexpensive, has a sufficient margin of safety. Of the disadvantages of DSP, it is worth noting a completely neat appearance, and the fact that the material has no dense structure. That is why he poorly holds metal fasteners, which can lead to the destruction of the whole design. Usually, the chipboard is made of flat made, such as seats or feeding tables.
Preparation of material and tools
To start work, it is necessary to prepare the required amount of material and fasteners. To make a simple chair, you will need a specific tool.
From the material will be required:
- Barbed wooden 50x50 mm sizes for framework frame.
- Bar 20x40 for mounting the crossbar and ribs of stiffness.
- A 30 mm width board and a thickness of 10 mm, or a piece of array or plywood for the manufacture of seats.
- Metal corners. If the design will be connected using fastening elements, and not with spikes, it must be enhanced by metal corners. They are put in places of perpendicular compounds and fasten two parts, increasing reliability.
When choosing a tree, you need to pay attention to that it does not have bitch. The bitch reduces the fortress of wooden elements, and the consequence of which they are often broken when exposed to loads. In the case of a children's chair, it can lead to a fall of the child and injury.
From the tool, you will definitely need:
- Wooden hacksaw or electrolybiz.
- Plane.
- Electric drill, screwdriver.
- Electrophusmer, if it is planned to fasten on the "spike". If the design is fastened with metal fasteners, this tool is not necessary.
- Grifmashinka and sandpaper for polishing the surface of wooden parts.
- Rule, carbon, roulette.
Before work, wooden parts must be treated with a planer so that they have the same smooth surface.
The chairs for the child will have the following dimensions:
- Height from the end of the back to the floor - 630 mm (rather high children's wooden chair).
- The distance between the legs of the chair in the depth - 280 mm, in width - 320 mm.
- Leg height: front - 410 mm, rear - 630 mm.
- For the legs of the chair and the handrail, the bar is used by the cross section of 20x35 mm, for the transverse fastening - the ram 20x20 mm.
- The connection of the elements will be made using self-tapping screws and round spikes.
Wooden Wooden Chair Wood Production Process
Order of work:
- First of all, it is necessary to cut four legs from a bar with a cross section 20x35 mm: 2 410 mm long, two length - 630 mm. For their compound, we cut 4 straps from the bar of the same section with a length of 280 mm. They will play the role of handrails and ribs.
- Next, we connect two pairs of legs (long rear and short front) with side planks. We do it with spikes. They have a standard diameter of 8 to 10 mm. For this, the holes are drilled in legs and transverse boards, the spike is clogged inside. Before you score, you need to pour some glue into the holes. The holes must be a diameter of 0.5 mm less than the spike itself so that it is tight.
- We connect two legs with crossbars at an altitude of 410 mm and 250 mm (this will be the height of the seat fastening). By collecting the left pair of legs, you need to start right. It is assembled in the same way as the previous one. Places of connecting legs with crossbars are enhanced by corners.
- When the process is finished, we apply both halves to each other. They must accurately coincide. Otherwise, the chair will be uneven.
- Next, we connect both halves using bars with a cross section of 20x20 mm and a length of 310 mm. For this, in the crossbars, drill holes with a diameter of 8 mm and screw in it with a self-tapping screw with an internal hex hole in the head. By installing these bars, we get a design that has already been completely similar to the highchair. The final look will betray the backing and seating.
- The back is made of several small lobs with a thickness of 10 mm and a width of 30 mm. They nail them to long legs with small nails. In this case, the back of the skid will play the role of additional stiffness. Exactly, as well as the seat, which is assembled using the same skulls.
- After collecting all elements, the design of a children's wooden chair is ready. One of the strengths of this design is that on top of the side handrails, you can easily install a small table for feeding. For its manufacture, a sufficiently small piece of laminated chipboard with a thickness of 20 mm and PFH edges.
- The chipboard must be cut (the form and size depends on the preferences of the parents) and close the place of the cut edge from PVC. Then you need to make two through holes in the places of fastening the table to the handrails and fasten it to the stool. Now the child will be able to play, sitting in the chair, or eat. If you are afraid that the child, especially small, can fall out from the chair, you can attach a "safety belt".
- Connect a piece of old leather belt lower part of the table and the bottom of the seating. The tree belt is screwed by self-drawing with large washers. Now, this belt will have a child between the legs and will not let him slip away from the chair.
The last stage of the manufacture of a children's wooden chairs will be handled and painting. The fact is that the child will do everything with a chair anything, and he must endure this test with honor, without biting the baby. All sharp corners and bursaves must be treated with emery paper. To protect the tree from corrosion, it must be opened with several layers of olifes and paint. Choosing paint, give preference to wear-resistant materials that will not be peeling, because paint slices may not only cause the child's injury, but they can be eaten. After painting, you can apply a layer of colorless varnish.
