Couch do it yourself

Handmade wooden couch will interest any creative person. The couch appropriately looks in any room, including in an arbor. Currently, there are several simple workshops that do not require skills in carpentry. Anyone who is familiar with working with tools and knows how to handle wood can make such a piece of furniture.

The easiest way to make a couch out of wood, as forged products require the ability to work with complex tools.

For the manufacture of the product will need the following materials:

• pine boards
• varnish
• nails
• glue and screws

From the tools at hand you need to have:

• drill
• screwdrivers
• woodworking Machine.

Before starting work, it is very important to get a clear drawing that will take into account the dimensions of the room (and on which all the details will be marked). This is necessary in order not to doubt the accuracy of the work. It is also worth noting that this will significantly reduce the time of manufacture. The size of the future couch should take into account the size of standard mattresses. In furniture stores you can find a mattress for every taste, but all such products have certain dimensions. The mattress should be placed on a specific bed.

Foldable couch - This is an ideal option, which provides the possibility of transportation. Using conifer boards is the best option, because they have high quality and low price. The usual couch is distinguished by the simplicity of the elements and fixings, which allows even an inexperienced person to make it. The peculiarity of this type of furniture is that the upper slats of the back and sides are tilted. It enhances comfort.

• Before you begin, you need to prepare all the tools and materials that will be needed to create high-quality furniture. Softwood planks should have a flat and smooth surface and have the same size.All tools must be intact, and cutting parts must be sharpened.
• Parts production starts from the side. Lamels have spikes at their ends, so there should be special grooves in the center of the boards. Wooden struts should have a length equal to the distance between the lamellae. Their thickness matches the width of the groove, and the height corresponds to the depth of the groove. Before connecting the parts they need to be treated with glue.

• Parts must be of such dimensions that will allow other components to come in with some effort. Having collected sidewalls, they need to be pressed. After that, let them dry well.
• All four blanks are made on the same principle. They dry out for several hours. The joints of the boards should be located in the same plane.
• For the manufacture of legs used a template, which cut out the necessary parts. The cut needs to be sanded, and the edges should be slightly rounded. It is possible to check the correctness of the cut out legs by connecting them together and fitting one measure.

• The back is done in the same way as other structures. However, it is important to remember that the upper parts are mounted at a small angle, and the lower rails should have a slope of a right angle.Having collected all the parts of the structure and making sure that they turned out to be of high quality, it is necessary to proceed to the fastening of metal elements. They are needed in order for the product to be able to fold and unfold.
• Usually, the couch is subjected to heavy loads, therefore the attachment points of the self-tapping screws must be further strengthened. To do this, pour glue into the holes and insert pins from wood. After that screw the screws. This method of strengthening the structure ensures a long "life" of the product.

Making slats is a simple process. Their thickness should be about 30 cm, the length always corresponds to the width of the couch, and the width can be of any size. Between the lamellae should be distance of 30-40 mm otherwise, the load on the individual parts will vary. Slats should be fixed ends on the bars. Bars attached to the strap with screws.

Having finished collecting the parts, they need to be processed. Clear lacquer is often used for this purpose, but you can use stain or paint. The decision on finishing is made by the master himself. He can simply cover the entire structure with lacquer, or he can create a unique design with paint.

If you are going to carry out finishing processing, you need to polish the irregularities and wipe them with a napkin. Coloring agents must be of high quality so that under their influence the pile does not rise. After all, this will mean that re-grinding is required.

Homemade couch - a multifunctional interior item. The couch is a small sofa designed for one person. Externally, it looks more like a bench or a single bed that does not have a full back. In any case - on it you can easily take a prone position or sit down with legs extended.

It can be used as a storage place for bedspreads and pillows, and can also be a place for massages. It is very convenient to spend time on such a bench for an interesting book.

It is possible to make this piece of furniture from an old sofa that will require not very much time and effort. You can put the couch on a large enough balcony or veranda, so that you can spend time outdoors in the warm season.

Not all people are interested in creating products with their own hands, because now everything can be bought in specialized stores. However, it should be borne in mind: having done something yourself, you can not only get the desired result, but also feel pride in your work.
