Dining table for dining with your own hands

The dining table in the house is not just an interior item, but something more. It is a symbol of home comfort, a place where on the weekends and holidays the whole family gathers. Behind him not only eat - here they communicate, it unites and brings together.

On sale largethe choice of tables, but made by own hands, on an individual project, has a completely different energy. After all, if you still like to take guests, then the size of your dining table should be large. Let's go through all the stages of its manufacture together, consider all the technology to the smallest nuances.

Types and design of dining tables

Composite

The design of the table includes:

• top( cover);
• a substitute, part of which is a crocheted belt;
• devices for transformation - running elements;
• possible boxes.

Requirements for dining tables

Dining tables should meet the following requirements:

• be strong, and this depends on the design of the table;
• hard. This indicator depends on the fact that the legs of the table are connected to the rods so correctly;
• has a great resistance to rollover, i.e.stability. This parameter is determined by multiplying the vertical tipping force by the lid length in mm. If the result is less than or equal to half the width of the table under the weight of the table, the table is stable.

Distinguish dining tables:

• transformable;
• is not transformable.

Table top

For the manufacture of countertops use:

• natural wood;
• wood particle board.

The worktops are

• sliding, while if the table does not have a sliding table, after certain manipulations, the table can accommodate 2 people more. If the design provides a sliding tabletop and a sliding table, then there must be liners. In the presence of 3 such elements, the dimensions of the dining table are increased by 6;
• retractable. The design of the sliding cover is not a sliding table, it provides for an increase in seating capacity by 2 or 4;
• are transformable, i.e.mounted. When the hinged covers rise, you can seat an additional 4 or 8 people at the table.

Decoration for table tops:

The following are used as linings:

• , paper-layered decorative plastics;
• veneer, imitating natural wood;
• various films, the basis of which is polyvinyl chloride. The film can recreate the structure of natural wood, marble, natural stone.

Depending on how many guests need to be accommodated, the dimensions of table tops for dining tables are determined. At the same time, they are guided by how much space is occupied by 1 person, and this is from 50 to 60 cm.

Dining table with your own hands

Look in the literature or on the Internet for dinner table drawings and choose the one that suits you. If you are new to carpentry, it is better to start with a simple one. We choose a table with a table top made of natural wood with a size of 100x60 cm.

Tool

If you already had to do carpentry, then for sure, your arsenal already includes:

• circular saw;
• Saw end;
• joiner's workbench - quite simple, including cover, undercarriage, tray, front clip, rear clamp, nests, combs;

• screwdriver, and maybe there is a drill, then it will replace it;
• pneumatic nailing gun;
• electric fog;
• awl or shaped screwdriver;
• fret saw;
• milling hand.

Not all superfluous will be all kinds of other tools and tools in the form:

• stop for planing -1;
• bench board -2;
• of the chair - pos.3;Wooden clamp
• - 4;
• metal clamps - 5.

Materials

It is required: pine trim boards 4 pieces, thickness 50, width 150 and length 1000 mm.

Manufacturing

Let's start with the table top:

• we adjust the boards in length, strictly maintaining the angle of 90 degrees;
• we take electrofugs and process boards on the ends to perfectly connect them with each other. For this, try to work with the same clamping force;
• to create a solid leaf from the boards, we perform dowels. In this case, their diameter should not exceed half the thickness of the board, and at their ends make chamfers, then they will easier to go into the holes;

• on the sides of the boards hold the center line;
• we mark the lengths from 100 to 150 mm;
• places where there will be under the dowels holes, we plan with an awl or screwdriver;
• drill holes on the sides of each board using an 8 mm drill bit;
• dowels spread with glue and clog in the holes;
• apply glue on the boards and connect them tightly;
• clamped in the clamp until completely dry;
• we go over the surface with sandpaper to remove the glue;
• if junctions are observed at the joints, then we remove them with a plane;
• edges are sanded with sandpaper;
• if you do not like the rectangular shape, then round off the corners.

Important : so that during the operation of the table, there are no gaps, when boarding boards, stack them so that the fibers are located in a mirror. Look closely - on one board the rings expand in one direction, on the other in the opposite direction. Hence, to the board with the rings widening to the bottom, apply the other, on which the rings expand to the top.

The table legs

• draw the shape of the foot you like;
• cut from the board with a jig saw one leg, which will become a model for the rest;
• we put the sample on a board, we trace a contour and we make 3 more legs;
• if you want, you can make and patterns using a hand-held router;
• grind the parts;
• cut out the connecting jumpers. Angles, they are made oblique and thoroughly polished.

Remember: the milling tool is not a safe tool, so take care of your hands. Use a clamp, applying a pattern.

You will understand how this is done by watching a small video:

Assembling the

The legs should be placed diagonally. The assembly process is simple:

• is greased with the adhesive of the joint site;
• insert the legs;
• a rectangle that turned out, fix it in the clamp before it dries, and this is about a day;

• after full drying of the base part of the table, we apply it to the lid and outline it, both on the inner and outer contours;
• make notes in places where the legs should be attached to the table top;
• drill holes;
• clog the dowels;
• apply glue to joint points;
• we combine legs and a table-top.

The dining table for the dining room is almost ready. It remains to give him an aesthetic appearance.

Finishing

For finishing you will need:

• stain;
• varnish is colorless.

Having everything you need, we begin:

• apply a layer of stain and wait until it dries;
• very accurately pass over the surface of small emery paper to bring down, risen when painting the stink of the villi;
• varnish and allow to dry;
• if irregularities appear, we sand again with sandpaper;
• once again varnish the surface.

You can say that the process of making dining tables, although so far the simplest, you have already mastered. Now let's look at how the transformer tables are made.

Desk-table

A small pedestal near the wall can go unnoticed at the entrance to the dining room, but if it is decomposed, then the whole family, and even the guests, will fit. Such a table consists of:

• basis;
• stiffeners;
• countertops in 3 parts;
• legs.

All this can be made from:

• sheets of laminated chipboard with a thickness of 1.6 cm with dimensions of 350x175 cm;
• 12 butterfly loops 4,5 cm;
• 4 corners for connecting the table top and base;
• 2 corner brackets for the legs;
• of 45 scant screeds( confirmations) 7,5х0,45 cm;
• 45 plugs;
• decorated paper tape( melamine edge);
• 100 pcs.self-tapping screws.

Be careful : first buy the euro screws, and then the stubs to them, since to the crossed confirmation you need one stub, and to the hexagon - the other .

Sawing the chipboard yourself is very difficult, so it's better to ask that you saw the plate immediately when you buy it, and for this you should already have a sketch with all the dimensions. It is necessary to cut out:

• 2 large countertops with dimensions 86х69 cm;
• 1 small countertop with a length of 86 and a width of 32 cm;
• 2 stands, which in height are equal to the table height minus the thickness of the sheet, i.e.72.4 x 25 cm;
• 2 stiffeners for extension legs 48.5 x 18 cm;
• 3 stiffeners for the base with dimensions of 70.8 x 11 cm;
• 4 lining of the legs 70.2 x 6 cm;
• 4 overlaid strips 60 x 6 cm.

We collect the

1. book table. We glue all edges with decorative tape, applying it on the edge and ironing with a hot iron.
2. Having laid the foundation, we try on fitting the legs, we plan where the loops will be fastened.
3. Collect the legs, using confirmations and attaching hinges.
4. Euro screws are closed with plugs.
5. Now a podstole or skeleton. We retreat from the bottom of the side walls 7 cm and at a distance of 10 cm from the floor we fix the horizontal stiffener.
6. We attach one more edge of rigidity after the horizontal one.
7. In the interval of the countertop, on the previous rib we fix the upper edge of stiffness.
8. The smaller cover is screwed, now we put the base on it.
9. To the right and left of the base lay large countertops and fasten them with butterfly loops.
10. Screw the legs onto the base.
11. The transformer table is ready. We put it on the legs.

The result is a table that is 19.5 cm wide and 74.2 cm high when folded, and if it is expanded, the table top will measure 78.7 x 142.0 cm.

Dining table for sliding

There are many varietiesSliding tables, but the most popular dining tables:

• are round;
• are oval;
• are rectangular.

We have a wooden countertop, therefore:

• we plan a wooden plate;
• cut out the required form;
• countertop mode for 3 parts;
• legs are made of 4 bars 7.5 x 7.5 cm, height is 770 mm, we process them on the machine;
• we produce side and front side skirts, we process from a milling cutter;
• attach the legs to the side kings;
• install guides on the long sides of the yoke;
• so that the table top can move in the grooves, install on it from the underside of the sliders and attach them with self-tapping screws;
• we produce dowels for fixing worktop parts;
• we establish dowels, preliminary having greased with their glue.

If you already feel that you have become a real cabinetmaker, you can try to make a product much more difficult to completely respect yourself.

Complex table transformer dining with our own hands

Let's see how to make a dining table transformable, which takes up little space and performs two functions: when you sit down to dinner, this table is big, and the rest of the time, it changes into a coffee table. The most difficult thing in it is the mechanism by which it undergoes changes.

Collecting the transformation mechanism

The mechanism that transforms our table will consist of 2 parts:

• body;
• working parts.

Need the following material:

• 0.3 m square. Particleboard;
• 4 пог.m of pipe profile 2x2 cm;
• 1,2 пог.m profile tube 5x2.5 cm;1 m run.strips 2х0.4 cm;
• bolts M8 length 12, 5 and 6 cm - 6, 2 and 2 pcs.respectively;
• 26 nuts M8; 24 washers 30x8;
• will need 12 pcs of inter-section screeds;0,06 running.m unequal corner with shelves 4,5х2,5 cm;
• 8 M4 bolts 2 cm long;
• mechanism will not work without gas shock absorbers, so do not forget to buy 4 pcs.120-140N.Look at the key mechanism of the table after the assembly will be like this:

We make the table

To make a dining table we need to buy:

• 16 pcs.eccentric ties;
• 32 pcs. Eurobolts( Confirmates);
• self-tapping screws 32 pcs - size 4x30 and 8 pcs.4х16;
• 4 double plastic corners;
• 12 pcs.threaded furniture futonok D8 M6h13;
• M6 bolts 3.0, 2.0 and 15 cm long, respectively 2, 8, 4 pcs.;
• 3 swivel hinges;
• chipboard furniture - 4.61 square meters.m.

Cut the chipboard and glue the edges can not be the most, and contact the company with the appropriate specialization. All manipulations with the table, clearly shows the video:
