A do-it-yourself armchair for the home can be made by everyone. You only need to purchase some materials and spend a few hours of free time. It is also important to prepare accurate drawings, work schemes, and a master class on how to make a chair with your own hands will help beginners.

When creating furniture, feel free to show imagination. Even at home, you can make original, unique interior elements from the simplest products.

Types of chairs and general instructions for creating

Regardless of which drawings are used, there is a certain algorithm for how to make a chair. First, separate parts of a piece of furniture are created, then they are processed - holes are made in them for fastenings, coatings are applied. After that, the product is assembled into one whole. In some cases, painting and opening with varnish is carried out after the manufacture of the chair has come to an end, that is, the whole, assembled product is already being processed.

Before you make a chair, you need to decide on its type. Furniture items can be divided into:

• Solid. They do not have upholstery. In fact, they are chairs with armrests.
• Semi-soft. The upholstery with a filler keeps within on a seat, a back, armrests. This saves materials.
• Soft. The easy chair is completely upholstered with material with a filler. This is the best solution for a home that will allow you to relax comfortably.
• Rocking chairs.

The easiest option: create a solid chair

For those who have never made chairs with their own hands, you should first pay attention to the drawings and instructions for creating solid products, without upholstery. If necessary, they can be supplemented with soft elements. Such products are distinguished by the fact that they are light, not so afraid of moisture, so they are well suited not only for the home, but also for the summer cottage.

The interior item can be made from improvised materials (for example, pallets) or wood. In the first case, finished parts are used, which should simply be processed and assembled into a finished product.

Drawings or a master class for making a product from improvised materials are not required. A homemade pallet chair is created according to the following algorithm:

1. Preparation of materials. If the pallets are old, it is better to disassemble them and perform a series of actions.
   • Get rid of old nails. Rusty hardware not only spoils the appearance, but is also very dangerous if you get hurt by them.
   • Sanding. This is the only way to give the old, polluted wood an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
   • Collect again.
2. Connect several pallets into one. The height of the seat is chosen arbitrarily depending on the wishes. The standard distance from the ground to the seat is 300-400 mm. If the product is intended for children, you can make it lower.
3. Painting and varnishing. This procedure can be performed before assembly.

The result is a strong homemade chair that will fit into the general view of a summer cottage or loft-style apartment.

Drawings of a simple wooden chair:

The work will require the following materials and tools:

• Boards and beams. It is important that the wood is carpentry - it has a moisture content of no more than 10-25%. It is by no means possible to create a frame for furniture from building materials. Drying wood is a very long and technologically complex process.
• Hardware - self-tapping screws, screws, nuts, washers.
• Furniture conductor.
• Saw or jigsaw.
• Mallet.
• Joiner's glue or PVA.

The algorithm for creating products is described above: first, all parts are cut and processed (the drawing displays the required dimensions), after which they are fastened together. Here are a few important points to consider:

• You can fasten the parts together with the help of dowels. To do this, holes of such a diameter are made at the attachment points so that the connecting element enters them tightly. For greater strength, each hole is treated with glue.
• When fastening with self-tapping screws, it is recommended to pre-drill small holes - so they will be easier to enter.
• This product can be used as a frame to create an easy chair. You can cover it with foam rubber and thick fabric or make separate pillows with ribbons for attaching to the seat, back and armrests.

The rocking chair is created according to the same algorithm as other products. The most difficult task is to make a round base. In principle, it can be cut, but this will require a very thick board or beam.

These are not always found. Any master class on this topic provides a more professional solution - to bend the prepared part. To do this, it must be softened using one of the following methods:

• Steam in a box. A special plywood box is created. Holes are made in it for starting steam and several small holes for it to exit. Parts are placed inside, and water vapor is supplied (you can use a kettle).
• Soak in ammonia. Work must be done with gloves and in a well-ventilated area.

After the material has become soft, it must be bent. To do this, either special machines are used, or a simple design is used: they put two supports at a distance slightly less than the length of the part, install the product on them and put a load in its middle. The bending radius depends on the mass of the load and the height of the supports.

A metal product can be either an independent piece of furniture or provide a frame in order to make an easy chair. The chair made of metal is very durable and strong, suitable for installation at home or at their summer cottage.

A master class for creating a chair made of metal practically does not differ from the instructions for making wood products. It's just that welding or hardware is used to connect parts.

The metal frame is also made into a round hanging chair (hammock chair). A wicker seat can be made from wicker, rattan or other material. If you want to make a soft round chair, then foam rubber with fabric can be sewn onto the frame or pillows can be made separately.

The cost of massive furniture is quite high, because many owners of country houses and cottages make wooden chairs with their own hands. Having at hand a modern tool and a charge of healthy enthusiasm, any man will cope with this task without any problems. We will tell you how to build a wooden chair for giving with your own hands.

Armchair for summer cottage made of wood

Peculiarities

Wood is the best material for making furniture. Despite a number of shortcomings that this material has, we have nothing better.

We chose wood for a whole range of qualities that, in our opinion, are ideal for do-it-yourself work in a summer cottage:

• Wood raw materials are very malleable for processing with primitive tools: drilling, punching with nails and self-tapping screws, grinding, milling, etc. We have to do manual work with simple means, so this moment is extremely important;
• Lumber is available almost anywhere in our country. Board and timber are widely represented on store shelves, and their price is relatively low;
• The material is completely natural and does not contain harmful impurities, does not emit toxins and volatile toxic chemicals;
• Boards and beams emit a pleasant smell, and coniferous parts do this especially actively;
• The texture and color of the surfaces are distinguished by their unique beauty, which is the best suited for the countryside atmosphere.

Important!
The listed set of qualities makes wood the most suitable material for the manufacture of a country chair.

It should be remembered that the product will be operated in conditions close to extreme. It will be exposed to rain, the sun will shine on it, it will be surrounded by insects, bacteria and fungal spores. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the choice of breed, finishing and processing of parts with an antiseptic.

The most suitable species in our case are oak, beech, ash, larch and pine. For parts that will not experience increased loads, you can use linden or alder.

Important!
All wooden parts must be impregnated with an antiseptic complex, and then painted or varnished.

Model selection

There are so many possible options for choosing a chair model that we see no reason to consider them in detail within the framework of the article.

It can be:

• folding and stationary models;
• rocking chairs;
• single and double;
• children and adults;
• high and low structures.

We will just give a few tips.

You must keep in mind two basic rules:

1. Choose those models whose design is completely clear to you. You must imagine in advance what and how you will do, what tools to work with and whether you can master this or that detail;
2. Consider the features of the place where the item will be used. A rocking chair or a folding model is perfect for giving, by the way, you can find drawings of a wooden folding chair with your own hands on our website.

Important!
Choose simple and reliable models that you can definitely make.
Consider the features of their operation.

Chair making

So, we will make the model presented in the photo at the beginning of the section. It consists of two sides, three sides and 35 cross rails that will form the seating surface.

The hardest part is cutting out the sidewalls. We will present a cutting on a metric grid with a step of 100 mm, according to which you can make a template and transfer the drawing to a sheet, from which you can then cut it out.

Not only craftsmen know how to make exclusive comfortable furniture from improvised materials. The advantage of such an occupation is obvious - it is the possibility of translating into reality the most daring ideas for a variety of living space. An additional bonus is the low cost of making homemade soft chairs with your own hands. Following the advice of designers, you can make an easy chair for a pleasant pastime in your own home. At home, you can exactly repeat all the stages of factory production of this modern and convenient attribute for decorating a nursery or living room. On the Internet, you can find both the simplest and most complex schemes.

The first step in the manufacture of home upholstered furniture is the choice of fabric for the external design of the soft parts of the structure. Each master selects upholstery depending on the physical properties and price aspects and features that different drawings have. Consider the most common fabrics for decorating chairs in our time:

• velor - velvety to the touch, gives the furniture a certain charm;

Velor upholstered

• flog - a distant analogue of velor, easy to clean, so designers use it to decorate children's upholstered furniture;

Flog in upholstery

• chenille - a fabric based on a combination of natural and synthetic fibers, has a special wear resistance (a well-thought-out structure prevents the formation of pellets);

Chinille in upholstery

• jacquard - the upholstery is considered durable, but over time, the loops turn into puffs;
• natural tapestry - the most expensive and beautiful type of fabric for upholstery;

Jacquard in upholstery

• artificial suede - a universal option for armchairs in a sunny room, resistant to UV rays and easy to clean;

Upholstered faux suede

• leatherette is a durable material that allows you to play with decorative embossing.

Material, fittings, tools for frame attribute

Creating a frame chair from scratch presents some difficulties. But the finished product will have a more respectable appearance. You can verify this by looking at the photos of finished products by home craftsmen. You can also use the old Soviet "grandmother's" chair for the base.

To make a simple frame for a soft chair, you need to pick up strong sheets of 20 mm plywood for cutting out parts with your own hands. Also useful is a standard repair tool kit with an electric drill, jigsaw, steel ruler, emery cloth, metal rims, masking tape, pencil, tape measure, thin nails, self-tapping screws, wood glue, stain, glossy paint. For upholstery you need: artificial leather or fabric, foam rubber (filler).

Step-by-step creation of upholstered furniture with a wooden base

1. If you do not know how to make a drawing for the base, then look for ready-made schemes on the net. As a rule, they are transferred to a cardboard template with a pencil. Only after that proceed to perform the operations of the described algorithm. This will help save on excess material, or vice versa - do not buy the missing parts.
2. According to the cardboard template, the future constituent elements are cut out of plywood sheets:

• banana-shaped sidewalls;
• cross bars.

It is important to determine the desired angles of inclination, bending and dimensions of the future frame. This will help the photo of the finished chair, created according to your scheme.

1. The next stage is the surface treatment of wooden parts by cleaning and grinding. With special care, the ends are worked out to improve the quality of the work done. Previously, these parts are impregnated with heated drying oil and only then bends are formed with a hammer, if they are provided for in the sketch. Each component is cut with an electric jigsaw.
2. Stained or treated with varnish-stained sidewalls. The ends of the side parts are reinforced with metal rims.
3. The next course of action is connected with the close-fitting of the frame. Using an electric drill, make the necessary holes. The rims are fixed with screws.
4. First, the back of the back is covered with artificial leather or fabric, then the remaining fragments of the structure, incl. and seats.
5. The upholstery is fixed with wallpaper nails, which are characterized by large hats. In the back of the frame chair, the upholstery is fixed along the edge, along the transverse parts to better cover the slats.

Experienced furniture makers advise the attachment points to be additionally treated with wood glue. Such a move is needed to increase the durability of the created furniture with your own hands.

Secrets of reliable upholstery: how to sew

The process of stretching the upholstery of soft chairs has its own nuances:

1. Foam rubber is cut to the size of the seat (average thickness - 5 cm). The part is glued to the surface of the plywood sheet.
2. Horizontal and vertical fabric straps are fixed to the back with a construction stapler. Similar belts are added to the armrests and sidewalls from the inside along the form.
3. From a piece of foam rubber 0.1 cm thick, a part is cut off, which will be larger in size than the area of ​​​​the seat (difference by 4-5 cm). They take a flap of synthetic winterizer fabric of the same size with an elongated front part and fix it with their own hands.
4. After the done manipulations, the upholstery is covered with furniture fabric. With the help of a stapler, textiles are fixed in all corners of the cover, the synthetic winterizer-foam layer to the seat frame of the chair.
5. The sidewalls and armrests are also covered with synthetic winterizer, fixed with aerosol glue over the entire surface. Only after that, the parts are sheathed with a cloth, securing the flap along the staples.

We sheathe the chair with foam rubber. In addition, we put a synthetic winterizer

Using a chair-bed instead of full-fledged individual items furniture relevant for small spaces. A successful combination of seating and sleeping space allows you to ergonomically organize the space of the room.

The search for options for arranging the space of a small apartment often leads to the idea of ​​​​buying a folding chair.

Buying such a thing can be disadvantageous. But you can make furniture yourself, if you have the skill. How to make a chair bed , know many who equip their apartments and houses with handmade items.

Advantages of self-production furniture - a bunch of. First, the main, which are used, can be found at home or in the country, as well as bought in specialized stores at a price incomparably lower than the finished item.

Blanks made of wood or its derivatives, filler and fabric - that's what you need, not counting the various types of fasteners.

To make a chair bed with your own hands , you will spend 2-3 times less money. In addition, you can choose the design yourself designs , coating material and color scheme.

All this allows you to create an original model that is convenient for your home.

Deciding on design and construction

Chair-beds are divided into two main types:

• Frame;
• Frameless.

Intraspecific differences furniture vary based on the choice of forms and the transformation mechanism.

Traditional materials of execution make it a reliable tool for many years.

It is more difficult to make a wireframe model. Furniture with a rigid base is complemented by a layout mechanism, which must be done correctly so that the “liner” can be easily removed and straightened without distortions. A design with two folding legs is easier to make than with four.

You can choose both a wooden base of supports and a metal one.

It is necessary to determine one or another suitable design not only based on the complexity of creation, but also on its style, safety and convenience for recreation. For reclining chair you can choose theselike chipboard, plywood, the cloth a certain density, foam rubber for upholstery, if a frame option is expected.

This furniture is compact and ergonomic, its dimensions are noticeably smaller than a standard bed, but it is not inferior to it in terms of comfort.

A product without a rigid base may have a streamlined shape, in addition, it is lighter in weight.

Whatever designs you choose, they must be strong and safe.

Do not forget about convenience - the body should be comfortable during sleep or daytime rest.Remember that the base must be wide enough - at least 60 cm, otherwise the sleeper will not turn around on the bed.

Today there are many varieties of this furniture. All of them find their place in the interior of the apartment.

Necessary materials

To make a wireframe model, you will need the following::

• Chipboard;
• fiberboard;
• Wooden blocks;
• Plywood;
• Foam rubber;
• self-tapping screws;
• hinges;
• PVA glue;
• Sandpaper;
• Upholstery fabric.

We will make a simple but comfortable thing in everyday life, which will be strong and reliable to withstand any unexpected guest.

In building a structure others can be used. For upholstery, it is better to choose a special the cloth , differing in density and well giving in to cleaning.

For frameless furniture used:

• Matter for covers;
• Foam rubber;
• Strong threads.

Upholstery will need high-quality foam rubber.

Required Tools

So that the intended subject furniture to do it right and firmly, you will need:

• Long ruler or tape measure;
• Simple pencil;
• Staples and construction stapler;
• Scissors;
• Hacksaw;
• Screwdriver;
• Sewing machine (for making a frameless chair).

Tools for work.

If in the design decor is provided (for example, in the form of applications), then a stencil cut from a dense file folder will come in handy.

Manufacturing process: step by step instructions

Before starting work, it is imperative to complete a drawing of the product, where the exact dimensions will be indicated and parts of the model will be drawn in detail.

Product drawing.

For the manufacture of folding chair frame type you will need a lot of space. Choose a spacious room.

First we make the body:

Then we start creating the folding part. Make 2 frames of bars along the width and length of the seat. Attach sheets of plywood to them.

Connect the frames with long loops.

In order for the chair to unfold evenly, use the metal transformation mechanism - attach steel contours with through loops on the sides.

The main thing in business is how to make a bed chair yourself, so that the parts folded together make up a beautiful and even square.

Such a cute armchair bed, which we made with our own hands, can be painted, varnished or upholstered with foam rubber and stylish beautiful fabric.

The next step will be plating:

1. Glue cut-to-size pieces of foam rubber 2-3 cm high to the top of the frame.
2. Lay the fabric flat and using a stapler, attach it to the bars at the bottom.
3. The sides can also be upholstered with a thin layer of foam rubber.

For a folding design, you will need legs.

They are made in the middle and front of the frame, flush with the bottom point of the bottom or slightly higher. For armrests, use sandpapered wide bars.

The seat easily unfolds without clinging to the sidewalls, and just as quickly turns into a chair.

The frameless model is much easier to manufacture. It needs foam rubber, which can be used in 2-3 layers, and a dense fabric like a raincoat fabric (or less slippery). The cut material is stitched from several sides. the remaining opening is designed to be placed inside the foam rubber.

To prepare the chair-bed for sleeping, you should unfasten the straps, then pull the top cushion towards you.

Equip the unsewn section with a “zipper”. For a more practical use of the frameless sample, make an outer case.

Since it does not have a rigid base, the back should be placed against the wall

Chair-bed decoration

In order to give the finished product a stylish and original look, use your imagination.

The design of the created thing can be improved by using interesting prints, applications.

Of the fabrics used for decoration, tapestries look good. If you want to make the upholstery softer to the touch, choosewith pile like faux velvet.

This material is also stronger and more durable.

Applications are best sewn on before the upholstery process. To make them neat, prepare in advance stencils and shreds of different colors, matched to match or contrast with the main gamut.

In a folding frame-type chair, the front legs, which are not retractable for all models, can be made carved or metal.

To prevent the surface from gathering dust and rubbing, use a cape or sew a special cover. Suitable and carpet of the appropriate size, and faux fur - this will make the placement in the chair more comfortable, cozy. Another option is to sew interchangeable covers from a light fabric.

This will make it easier to take care of the upholstery.

VIDEO: Armchair bed with your own hands.

The presence of a chair in the house helps to make the rest more comfortable and enjoyable, and also gives a feeling of lightness and tranquility. There are many options for chairs, they differ in shape, purpose, but they are united by the fact that they all make life comfortable. Let's look at how to make a chair out of wood.

Starting the process of manufacturing a chair, you should decide on the material that will act as its basis. In this article, we will talk about how to build a wooden chair. Therefore, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with its main advantages:

1. Environmental safety.

Wooden furniture has always been natural, harmless and hypoallergenic. Therefore, it is a wooden chair that will not cause any discomfort in its use, since environmentally friendly material acts as the base material.

Armchairs made of wood photo:

2. Strength and durability.

Wooden furniture is durable, resistant to mechanical stress and durable.

3. Aesthetics and variety of forms.

When choosing a shape for a wooden chair made of wood, it is difficult not to get lost in their diversity. In addition, the use of carvings, special paints and varnishes can make the chair more aesthetic and attractive.

Furniture made from natural wood is quite expensive, but if you try to build a wooden chair with your own hands, you will save three times more money than when buying it.

DIY wood chair

We offer you to familiarize yourself with the manufacturing option of a wooden slatted chair, which has an inclined seat and is comfortable and elegant.

This method of constructing a chair is universal, so with its help it will be possible to build furniture such as a table, shelf or stool.

To carry out the work, you will need:

• timber, section 2.8x2.8 cm;
• plywood, consisting of several layers, the thickness of which is 1.8 cm;
• stains, paintwork materials;
• threaded bushings;
• dowels, screws;
• several hairpins;
• grinding material;
• primer and varnish solutions used when working with wood;
• oil paints in black and red, which will help the back and legs of the chair to contrast brightly with each other.

Among the tools you will need:

• table saw;
• drills with drills;
• miter box;
• planer;
• pliers;
• screwdrivers;
• sponges and paint brushes.

Choose a beam, while the main requirement for it is the size of the section, it must correspond to 2.8 cm. Pre-prepared blanks must be perfectly even and smooth. Before work, check them for cracks and roughness.

Wooden chair drawings:

In accordance with the drawings, the beam is cut into several planks, each of them 55 cm long. Thirty-six planks are required to assemble the back and side walls. In addition, it is necessary to have load-bearing bars installed in the seat area.

Fix the beam with the stops and cut it using a wood saw.

The end sections of each bar should be marked, and then holes are drilled on them, the diameter of which is 0.8 mm. The spacing between the center and end point of the beam is 2.5 cm. Using a drill stand, carefully measure and trace the parts before drilling them.

In order for the chair to have a presentable appearance and meet all safety standards and regulations, the end sections are processed with sandpaper, and the edges are chamfered.

To round the longitudinal edges, a planer is used, and then sandpaper, which will help remove all irregularities and polish the surface. To separate one plank of the chair from another, parts called “checkers” are used. For their manufacture, it will be necessary to cut out wooden elements of a square shape, 2.8x2.8 cm in size. On the edges of the checkers, it is necessary to chamfer and drill through holes. These holes must match the slots on the planks for their harmonious connection. Two “checkers” are glued to each bar on both sides. One stud constructed from cutting materials is inserted into each hole. Along the edges of the workpiece are glued and aligned with a rail. Using clamps, pull all the parts together and leave to dry completely.

Stain will help keep the tree in its original form for many years. To process parts, they should be hung on a pre-prepared bar with nails or studs. Install all the blanks on the nails and apply the stain with a sponge. Excess stain should be removed with a brush.

After the stain has completely dried, proceed to the next process, which includes zeroing and coating parts with paints and varnishes. To dry the parts, prepare a special unit consisting of a board on which dowels are glued.

The next stage includes the manufacture of the back and seat of a wooden chair. To do this, you need a small sheet of plywood, from which a blank of the desired size is cut. With the help of screws, they are interconnected, in addition, holes for dowels should be provided, which will provide additional strength to the chair. This design is painted with red oil paint and waits for complete drying.

In parts that were made of timber, holes with a diameter of 0.8 cm should be drilled in such a way as to ensure the unhindered passage of studs through them. Connect all parts together with studs and threaded bushings. In order to screw the seat, drill a few holes in the bearing part of the structure. From the bottom of the chair, screw the seat to the chair body.

This chair will please with its brightness, beauty and convenience of all residents and guests of the house.

Making a wooden garden chair: instructions and recommendations

The most harmonious among the flowering plants of the garden will look like a wooden chair. But, before proceeding with its manufacture, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the general recommendations that will help you do this:

1. The first requirement for a garden chair is its portability. This piece of furniture should not be bulky and easily portable from place to place in case of bad weather.

2. When choosing the type of wood, it is better to choose oak, beech or walnut. In addition to these options, it is possible to use pine, aspen, cedar, larch. Such a tree is the most durable and resistant to mechanical stress and moisture.

3. Since the chair is outdoors, it is exposed to sunlight, moisture and precipitation, so it is recommended to take measures to protect the wood from external irritants.

4. Before using the boards, they should be folded and placed in a room with a canopy, under the influence of the wind, they will dry out and become stronger. After that, the process of grinding them, impregnation with antiseptics and a solution of drying oil is to be. This is followed by drying the boards and their coating with paints and varnishes.

5. The number of knots on a tree affects the relief of its texture. In addition, in order for the appearance of the chair to resemble natural wood, it is better to cover it with a colorless varnish.

6. When assembling the garden chair, make sure that the fasteners are well recessed into the wood. Otherwise, there may be snags on clothing.

Preparatory work includes working with wood, drying it and covering it with a variety of materials. For work, use boards whose thickness is 2 cm.

In the process of making a garden chair, you will need:

• two rear legs, the size of which is 21x255x788 mm;
• two front legs, size 21x76x534 mm;
• support armrest, size 21x128x407 mm;
• the back of the chair in the form of a back, size 21x280x915 mm;
• jumpers - 21x52x590 mm;
• rear supporting part of the armrest - 21x78x611 mm;
• two strips for insertion - 13x21x255 mm.

Consumables require:

• hard wood dowels - 2.4x6 cm - 20 pieces;
• 20 pieces of brass screws, 0.45x0.5 cm in size;
• 20 pieces of brass screws 0.45x0.32 cm;
• sandpaper for grinding;
• polyurethane adhesive;
• drying oils and varnishes for furniture;
• cardboard material;
• masking tape.

To carry out work on the construction of a garden table, as tools, you will need:

• circular saw;
• manual milling machine;
• electric planer;
• hacksaws;
• electric drills;
• screwdriver;
• grinders;
• roulettes;
• level;
• pencil.

Wooden garden chair, drawing:

Use panels with a wide thickness for the rear legs, backrest, armrest and seat. To obtain them, it is necessary to select boards that are similar in color and texture and glue them first.

In order to build the rear legs, use a pre-prepared stencil, according to which they will be cut. Attach it to the board, make a drawing on a tree with a pencil and connect the two blanks with adhesive tape, so you can make two parts at once. Keep in mind that it is better to make a pattern a few millimeters larger than the drawing, so that later with a planer or router you can fit the part to the required size.

The backrest construction procedure involves sawing a pre-prepared blank from glued boards. Then you need to bevel the lower part of the back by twelve and a half degrees, so that it harmoniously connects with the rear legs. And the upper part of the back is rounded with a radius of 0.9 cm. Next, assemble the product, while adjusting the parts to the nearest millimeter.

Attach the back legs of the chair to your back with screws and wood glue, taking care to drill the holes first. Using the corner joint, fasten the sides and legs together.

Plug-in strips will help close the gaps that have formed. Use screws to fix inserts. Please note that the reliability of the chair directly depends on the quality of the connection of all parts. Boards should be directed in opposite directions from the legs. In accordance with the outside of the drawing, file the boards of the connected parts. Areas of an untreated nature are not cleaned.

Behind the workpiece, a groove should be selected, while the seat is located at an angle to the back to ensure a tight joint.

Start cutting out the front legs, while their upper sections are beveled at an angle of six degrees. Attach the front legs to the chair structure using screws and glue.

A garden chair must be especially reliable, so it is recommended to use an additional jumper in the form of a proleg, which enhances the strength of the chair. To cut the jumper, first measure its location and cut the part to the desired size.

Now start sawing out the wedge-shaped armrest supports, which are fixed on the front legs and make the chair more comfortable to use. When all the details are assembled, you should proceed to the final grinding of the chair. After the process is completed, the surface should remain smooth. If desired, paint the chair in the desired color or cover it with a colorless varnish, which will help preserve the texture of the wood.

DIY rocking chair for two

To make such a chair you will need a minimum set of tools, which consists of:

• jigsaw;
• disc grinder;
• screwdriver;
• several drills for working with wood;
• bit for working on a screwdriver;
• paint brush;
• roulettes;
• pencil
• building level.

This chair model is quite simple. The shape of the chair resembles an arc, which consists of two side parts fastened together by a large number of boards.

Pay attention to the material of manufacture of this chair, since its dimensions are quite large, it will be located directly in the yard or in the garden, which means that the materials must be of high quality. Euro plywood is used in the process of making the side parts of the rocking chair. Its thickness should be 3 cm. From this material, it is necessary to cut out two side parts, consisting of three sides. Marking is done using a pattern, pencil and tape measure.

Rocking chair manufacturing scheme:

When transferring the template to the workpiece, the smallest errors can be made. The main condition for the proper functioning of the chair is the identity of the sawing of the two side parts.

Next, you need a bar, 5x2.5 cm in size. Using a jigsaw, saw off thirty-five equal boards from it, 1.2 m long. In principle, the length depends on the desired length of the chair, so it is subject to adjustment. As fasteners it is recommended to use:

• confirmations 0.5x12 cm - about 15 pieces;
• wood screws 0.4x4.5 cm - 150 pieces.

The first process of work after cutting out the parts is their grinding. It is not difficult to carry out this procedure, if you have a good tool and skills to work with it. But, keep in mind that the end sections should be given special attention.

Next, the material will be processed with stain and varnish. It is better to apply solutions in two layers, waiting for the complete drying of each of them. To avoid moisture absorption, treat wooden parts with hot drying oil.

The final process is the assembly of the rocking chair. Three kings are located in the upper, central and lower parts of the chair. They are fastened with confirmations. Watch the strength of the connections, as the durability of the use of the chair depends on them.

To drill holes for fasteners in areas of the chair that form its immediate surface, it is recommended to use a jig. This device will help facilitate this work and make all the holes identical. Otherwise, do this job manually.

Use a special putty that will help hide the holes from the screws. If there are cracks or defects, putty will help get rid of them. Now it remains the process of painting the chair or varnishing it. A few pillows will decorate this piece of furniture and help make it more colorful and comfortable.
