Existing models of bedside tables
Clothing bedside tables can have a variety of design and design. When choosing a suitable model, you should rely on your financial capabilities, the experience of carpentry and the interior of the room in which the product will be located, in our case, this is the bedroom. Consider the main types of cabinets:
-
Nap with boxes. This option is the most common and conservative. It is suitable for lovers of a simple environment that is not gravitating to fashion trends.
-
Open bedside table. There are no boxes in this model, and all things lie in sight. It is suitable for those who do not hide any objects from children and do not store many things in it at all.
-
A nightstock with a prying table. Such a model will be indispensable for people caring for patients and people with disabilities who are difficult to get out of bed to eat food.
-
A hinged bedside table. This solution is suitable for bedrooms with a limited area. The hinged option, as well as the floor, can be open, or can have a box or shelf. The cabinet is usually attached to the wall, while freeing the space on the floor.
-
The nightstand of an unusual design. There is already someone else's work. It all depends on the imagination, skill and experience of wood work. If you want to supplement the atmosphere in the bedroom with any unusual detail, then you might think about the non-traditional structure.
Do not forget about one important parameter of bedside table - sizes. They must correspond to free space near the bed. When installing it, there should be a little more space around. If the width of the bedside table is such that the product occupies the entire space and rests against neighboring furniture, then it will only spoil the general appearance and cause inconvenience. But it will also not be very beautiful if the bedside tables are high - narrow and too low. In other words, in everything it is necessary to adhere to the golden mean, and do not bend the stick with any parameters.
All of the above options can be made with your own hand. The cost, which will cost a home -made bedside table, depends on its size, the number of boxes, the quality of accessories and the material selected for manufacture. But today we will consider this process on the example of the simplest and cheapest, traditional model that a person who does not have much experience in the production of furniture can easily make.
Tools that will be required to work
The tools will require the most ordinary ones that are most often in the arsenal of every man who from time to time engaged in minor repairs and other household chores:
- drill with the nozzle "Scurry";
- punch (if any);
- drill on wood;
- different screwdrivers;
- frases 35 mm. in diameter;
- iron;
- roulette;
- pencil;
- tool "Direct angle" with a ruler;
- vetosh, sandpaper.
By the way, the iron on this list was not at all by mistake, as you thought at first. The fact is that you will have to order the details of the details in the carpentry workshop, because To do this yourself, conditions, special tools and special knowledge are needed. To minimize expenses, you can try to save on the gluing of the edges. You can purchase a melamine edge with a thickness of 0.5 mm in the store, choose it under the shade of the future bedside table and glue it yourself. It has the adhesive side, which needs to be applied to the surface of the part and ironed with a hot iron. In order for the glued surfaces to connect well, take a rag and, without waiting for the cooling of the edge, press it with force and reverge.
The material from which we will make our bedside table
In order to decide on the choice of materials, it is necessary to study their types and properties, as well as figure out how much you can spend on them. The thumbs from chipboard are the cheapest. It is because of its low cost that this material was widely used. And the most expensive are cabinets made of natural wood. But because Today we make a simple, budget option, then we will consider the materials not expensive:
-
Chipper. From this material we will make the facades of our bedside table with our own hands. LDSP is a wood -steering stove, covered as a decorative coating with a laminate. This material has a rich palette of colors and textures, it is easy to process. But not everyone knows that it is impossible to cut out the parts of the furniture from it independently, because If you saw it with an ordinary improvised tool, then the decorative coating will be abandoned, and the place on which the saw passed will turn out to be torn and ugly. Therefore, if the chipboard is chosen for the hand -made manufacture of the nightstand, then it is better to order parts to order the parts in the carpentry workshop.
-
DVP. This is a wood -fiber plate, which is made approximately the same as the wood -steering, only the material of the tree, and not the sawdust and the shavings, are used as the material. DVP are more thin and flexible than chipboard. From this material we will produce the bottom of the box and the back wall of the nightstand (parts that are not visible from the side) in order to save, because DVP is cheaper than chipboard.
Tips and subtleties that must be taken into account when working with chipboard:
-
lDSP sheets can have different thicknesses - from 1 to 3.8 cm. Most often, a plate of 1.6 cm thick is used;
-
the size of the plate can also be any, therefore, for the sake of saving funds, you should draw a diagram of the layout of the parts on the stove before the sawing and figure out what size it should be to fit all the structural elements on itself and at the same time leave a minimum of waste;
-
before purchasing the material, it is important to carefully inspect it. The surface of the plate should not have damage, scratches, potholes. If they are, it is desirable that they are on only one side, otherwise, the product will look bad;
-
you also need to pay attention to the degree of dryness of the material. He should not be filled with water, otherwise it will be tagged after drying, and it will simply be impossible to process it;
-
when transporting already cut parts of the future structure, from the carpentry workshop to the house, you need to ensure that when the car jumps on the bumps, they do not beat against each other and about the body, and are not damaged. It will be best to overlap the bottom and sides of the body with a paralon or other material that can soften the blows, and the details themselves are tied with each other.
Important information about the fiberboard:
-
the thickness of the furniture sheets of fiberboard is from 3 to 5 mm. The strength of the product depends on it. But most often this material serves to make internal parts that are not visible from the outside. In terms of thickness, the optimal for these purposes is a three -millimeter sheet;
-
the dimensions of the fiberboard, like the chipboard, can be different, but, unlike the latter, this is not very important. It happens that there is simply no choice, and there is only one format in the store;
-
there are no strict criteria for the quality of fiberboard. For our purposes, any sheet will be suitable. But still, it is better to refuse to buy if it has a wavy surface. After all, this means that the sheet was wet and warmed up, and it will now be very difficult to work with it.
Dimensions and number of parts for the manufacture of the cabinet of the simplest design
To order in the carpentry workshop, cutting the parts of the bedside table, the drawing is required without fail. You should sit at the table and draw from all its components, think over the sizes, design and number of identical details. I remind you that in our case, this is the simplest and cheap model with a box without races and facades from chipboard. Dimensions and number of details:
-
side parts of the nightstand in size 77.2x50 cm - 2 pcs;
-
the bottom and shelf size 36.8x50 cm - 2 pcs;
-
base and upper strips size 36.8x10 cm - 3 pcs;
-
side parts of a box of 48x11 cm - 2 pcs;
-
a box of a box of 33.4x11 cm - 2 pcs;
-
box facade 15x39.5 cm;
-
the door of the nightstand is 51.5x39.5 cm.
The plate from which the nightstand will be made is 1.6 cm in thickness. The cabin of the cabinet is better to take the kitchen. Its size is 52.5x40 cm, and the thickness is 2.8 cm.
The back wall and bottom of the box can be made of cheaper fiberboard for the following sizes:
-
rear wall in size 67x39.5 cm;
-
the bottom of the box is 47.5x36.5 cm.
The main fasteners will be furniture euro -shurups, for which holes need to be drilled. In the planes, we drill 8 mm in diameter, and in the ends - 5 mm in diameter. The drawing mentioned above should indicate the number of holes, and which of them are being drunk.
Furniture that will be required for assembly
The choice of fasteners should be treated very responsibly, because they depend on them to a greater extent how long the product will last. In a store, trading in furniture fittings, you need to purchase:
-
4x30 self -tapping packaging for mounting the bedside table and the front panel of the box. They should be attached from the inside;
-
euro -Shurups 5x70 in the amount of 22 pcs. They are fixed by the base and planks. Screw on each side one euro -shurup;
-
packing of 4x16 screws with a hidden hat to fix the loops and fiberboard. When screwing into the bottom of the box, they should be deepened, in order to avoid scratches on the shelf;
-
furniture loops in the amount of 2 pieces. It is necessary that they correspond to the diameter of the existing milling cutter;
-
handles for door and box in the amount of 2 pieces;
-
if there is a desire, you can purchase adjustable furniture legs, so that, if necessary, it is possible to install a cabinet on an uneven floor. But this is not necessary.
Assembly of the parts of the nightstand
The smallest sheet of chipboard is 183x244 cm. 2.5 nightstands of this size and structure will come out of it, so it makes sense to cooperate with one of the acquaintances or relatives before you take work, so as not to store the remaining material, and at the same time separate expenses.
From all of the above, it is already quite clear how to assemble the details of the cabinet, it remains only to mention the two most important technical details:
-
When collecting the nightstand, it is necessary to control the correctness of the angles. All of them should be straight, otherwise, the design will skew, and the facades will open poorly.
-
The distance from the edge of the door to the middle of the holes for the loops is 2.2 cm. This is relevant for our case when we have a cutter of 3.5 cm and the corresponding loops. From above and below, the distance from the edges is usually from 6 to 8 cm. If there are no design features, then how much is not so important. Next, you just need to attach the door with fixed loops at the required height to the body and fasten it using the fastener element.
When the assembly work is over, you can install the product in place and start using it.
If you manufactured facades from a material that does not have a decorative coating, it is better to paint it. To do this, you must first degrease the surface, and then primed it. This operation is carried out in order to achieve maximum clutch of paint with the surface of the nightstand.
After the primer layer dries completely, you can start painting. It is best to use water -based acrylic paint. It dries quickly and does not exude such a smell as, for example, a solvent -based paint. It is better to apply the dye in two layers, and before applying the second, the first should be thoroughly dried.
For the main work, a large brush is suitable, and for painting inaccessible places - small. After the product is completely dry, you can fix the result with a layer of furniture varnish.
