Computer table from a furniture board. Furniture board as a tabletop. Practical example of work

I was prompted to create a computer desk by the acquisition of a multifunctional device, in the common people of an MFP. The dimensions of the device did not allow it to be placed on an old small table, and therefore I had to use my imagination. For myself, I determined the most important thing, that the main dimensions of the table should not differ greatly from the generally accepted ones, otherwise the design will be large and unpresentable. At the same time, the question arose of how to save more workspace, and at the same time conveniently position the MFP. After analyzing many options, I developed, in my opinion, the most simple and optimal.


To create a table, I needed:

1. Furniture shield 18x600x2000 - 2.5 pcs.

2. Furniture shield 18x400x2000 - 3 pcs.

3. Furniture shield 18x200x2000 - 2 pcs.

4. Self-tapping screws 40x60 - about 50 pieces.

5. Floor sheet of plywood 6mm.

6. Edged board 12x120mm - 6m.

7. Roller guides:

500mm - 3k-ta (for boxes);

400mm - 1set (for sliding table top).

8. Lacquer glossy - 1.5 l.

9. Furniture handles - 3 pcs.

And so, we start from the bottom of the computer table. Using a furniture board 18x600mm, we cut out the main sidewalls, as well as the countertops for the MFP and workplace(I draw your attention to the fact that the countertops will be slightly narrower than the sidewalls). At the sidewalls we make roundings in the upper front part (we file the corner 2x2 cm and round it with emery), in the back lower part we make a wash down under the plinth 4.5x5.5 cm. In the central sidewall, in its rear part, we make a recess for a furniture board 200 mm wide. This cross member is necessary to give reliability to the frame.

We assemble the structure, fastening it with self-tapping screws, while not forgetting to drill holes for them.




Now you need to close the lower voids. We cut the rectangles to size, and fix them with furniture dowels.



So, Bottom part ready. Let's go to our top!

We cut out the upper sidewalls, also round off the front upper parts. I want to note that the entire manufacturing process was carried out manually, I don’t have a circular saw, and I can’t put it at home, so that everything turns out exactly the lower parts of all structural elements ( furniture panels) should be with a “store” cut, and the upper ones should already be sawed off on their own.

In order to evenly fix the sidewalls, we make a template corresponding to their thickness. We apply it to the countertop and measure the holes.



We screw the screws from below and fasten the upper sidewall.



Do the same with the top left of the table.



After we figured out the left and right parts, we move on to the top shelf. We saw the furniture board 18x400mm lengthwise to the width of the shelf. Here it is very important to do the work evenly, since the remaining thin rail will go to the manufacture of the upper rear wall.

We turn to the manufacture of the middle partition. To do this, we use a furniture board 18x200mm. We also drill holes in the table top according to the template, and fix the partition with self-tapping screws. Be sure to use a square in the process of all work, then the design will turn out to be even and beautiful!



First, we attach the upper back wall of the shelf to the sidewalls, then we put the shelf on the middle partition, align it and fix it from the sides with self-tapping screws. Fasten the middle partition to the top shelf.



The main top frame is ready. It remains to fill the void on the left side. I settled on the option from the shelf with a jumper. For the manufacture we use a furniture board 18x200mm. We select the dimensions of the shelf ourselves. In my case, the dimensions were selected according to the height of the MFP, namely for the optimal opening of the lid of the multifunctional device. We measure the shelf, select the jumper to it, fasten the structure with self-tapping screws.



After we have assembled the entire frame, we move on to the drawers.

This time I used a 12x120mm board to make them. Everything is very simple, we fasten four boards together with self-tapping screws, in the front and back. From below we use plywood as the bottom. We select the width and depth of the drawers taking into account the internal dimensions of the side cabinet and roller guides.

After we have collected three boxes, we fasten the guides. I recommend starting from the bottom, as it will be much easier to distribute the rest of the boxes evenly.



We try to find the optimal distance so that everything turns out symmetrically. It is worth noting here that the roller guides need to be mounted not flush with the top and bottom of the cabinet, but a little deeper, because it will be attached to the front of the drawers front part, made of furniture panels, it is precisely this width that should be indented.



We make the front parts of the boxes from the remains of the shields. How to choose their sizes will be indicated below, using the example of attaching handles.

The last element of the table remains - a retractable tabletop. We make it from a furniture board 18x400mm, while not forgetting to take into account the width of the roller guides on the sides.



The frame is ready. Let's move on to the processing. I used a grinder, who does not have one, I highly recommend purchasing and always with a vacuum cleaner to minimize the amount of dust in the apartment.

Furniture manufacturing - good way diversify the interior of the home. A great option in this case is a furniture board.

All elements of the bedroom are made of furniture panels, which creates the feeling of a Russian village house.

This is natural material from wood, having a different shape, used for the manufacture of furniture, stairs, etc.

Basically there are pine, spruce, birch, oak shields. Of these, you can make almost any thing - a closet, hallway, kitchen or desk, etc.

Materials and tools

The work will require the following materials and tools:

  • furniture boards in the right quantity;
  • furniture varnish;
  • screwdriver;
  • Sander;
  • ruler;
  • self-tapping screws;
  • pencil;
  • drill;
  • chisel;
  • hacksaw;

Assembling a computer desk

A computer table from a furniture board can have any size, additional shelves and drawers, as well as color.

The table should be multifunctional, compact, it should easily accommodate all fixtures. To make it, you need 3 shields - 2000x600x18 mm, 3 - 2000x400x18 mm and 2 - 2000x200x18 mm. In addition, you will need a 12x120 mm edged board; dowels; plywood 6 mm thick.

First you need to draw up a drawing of the table and take measurements. From a large shield, cut out the tabletop, sides, bottom and top of the cabinet. Plane the corners of the side walls of the upper outer part and give them smoothness. In the place of the sides, which will fit closely to the wall, make a recess 5x5 mm under the plinth. For rigidity in the center of the side inside the vertical wall, install a transverse panel. Self-tapping screws need to fix the details.

When making a niche designed for the system unit, also cut off sharp corners and make recesses for the baseboard. Next, you need to make a frame for the shelves, which will be placed above the computer desk. Then attach the frame to the assembled table parts.

For the top shelf, use the middle board, which needs to be sawn, and the small board will be the middle partition attached to the countertop. From a small furniture board, make a shelf with a jumper, place it above the cabinet.

Scheme of assembling a computer table from a furniture board (with dimensions).

Now you need to make retractable drawers. Walls for them can be made from edged board, and make the bottom from a sheet of plywood. Connect all elements with self-tapping screws. Install roller or ball mechanisms for the drawers and for the tabletop shelf.

Cut out the keyboard table from a 40 cm wide shield. Trimmings can be left for the outer elements of the drawers. Next, the entire product must be disassembled, processed with a grinder and applied 2 layers of varnish to all components.

Leave the varnish to dry, then make final assembly the whole structure, install the handles - and the work can be considered finished!

Furniture for the kitchen from the shield

The main material will be a shield 2000x600x18 mm. In addition, you will need:

  • spanners;
  • table legs;
  • timber 40x40 mm;
  • nuts with a diameter of 12 mm.

First prepare the countertop. Add rigidity to it by reinforcing it with bars. Then you need to make holes and mount fasteners for the table legs. Install the legs. Next, you need to sand the countertop and apply varnish to it. Leave for a while to dry the table completely.

Desk

A desk made of furniture board can also serve as a computer desk, so it is perfect for a child.

To, you need 3 shields wide - 200, 400 and 600 mm.
Additionally you will need:

  • square;
  • plywood 6 mm thick;
  • bar 20x20 mm.

Basically, building a desktop is similar to assembling a computer desk. But the desktop is more bulky, with large quantity drawers, shelves, niches. Complete the design drawing and make all calculations.

Start by making a tabletop that is cut out of a large shield, then work the corners, secure and add bars for reinforcement.

Cut out the pencil cases. Round off the top side corners.

Make shelves and doors for niches. Prepare the elements for the plinths. Cut out 2 squares of 70x70 mm from plywood, cut them obliquely to make elements triangular shape, place them on the back of the frame. Align the frame with a square and secure with triangles.

According to the drawing, cut out and place the shelves at the right distance. Mount guide mechanisms. Fasten the cut out parts of the boxes. Fabricate and install doors.

Disassemble the table into parts, work well with a grinder, apply 2 layers of varnish. Assemble the table. Attach the table top. Shelves and plinth are placed on corner holders. Install the fittings, having prepared the necessary holes in advance.

This completes the work, and the product can be used!

Cabinet making

A handmade wardrobe is perfect for a children's room or a corridor. Cabinet dimensions are optional.

Prepare 7 shields: 3 - 2000x600x18 mm, 3 - 2000x400x18 mm and 1 - 2000x200x18 mm. You will also need:

  • hardboard board;
  • plywood 6 mm thick;
  • hanger rod;
  • 2 bars for installing the bar.

Make the sides of the shields, reducing the width of each by 7 cm, since the depth of the product according to the standard is 530 mm. From the bottom of the sidewalls, make a recess 50x50 mm under the plinth. Make the details of the shelves for the drawers, the height of which should be 200 mm, and the gap should be 20 mm.

The upper structural element needs to be made a little wider than the drawer shelves - 800 mm. Attach the bottom of the cabinet to the side walls with screws at a distance of 5 cm above the floor, the middle part - at a distance of 42 cm. The shield, whose width is 400 mm, will be a niche for hats, it is mounted 200 mm from the top. Fix the plinth with holders. Use a hardboard sheet as the back wall of the product. Fix everything properly with self-tapping screws.

The drawer drawer is installed tightly against the sides, since the outer parts of the drawers are overlapped. The details of the boxes are made of plywood. Every 100 mm, grooves are made along the parts so that the plywood does not split during the assembly process. After assembly, install the drawers in the cabinet. From a narrow shield, make the front sides, but you need to fasten it only at the end of the assembly of the entire structure.

A chest of drawers can be installed in any room of the apartment: a bedroom, a corridor, a nursery.

The cabinet doors are cut out of a 400 mm wide board, be sure to try them on - it is necessary that the doors cover the middle shelf. File the upper corners of the doors, sand until gradual transitions are obtained. On each sash you need to make 3 holes - for loops. Mount the hinges, secure the doors.

Make holes in the bars under the bar and fix them to the sidewalls with self-tapping screws. Disassemble the cabinet and apply 2 layers of varnish to all its elements. Wait for the varnish to dry and assemble the product.

Make holes in drawers and doors for fittings. Install the fronts, handles, connecting the plywood side of the drawers in front and the outer one, made of a shield. Take a close look to see if everything is well fixed.

When buying your own home, every happy owner has a question about the improvement of the apartment. Alas, it is not always possible to place all the desired furniture on the acquired square meters. The space in the rooms is becoming significantly smaller, while in most cases the goal is to maximize usable area premises. Today, an impressive number of factories and shops offer furniture for every taste and wealth, but it does not always meet the minimum safety requirements. Yes, and it is quite expensive.

You can contact the workshop, where they will not only be able to assemble furniture, but will also help you make competent sketches and drawings.

It is necessary to apply varnish on the structure, preferably in 2 layers.

Of course, you can contact the workshop, where they will not only be able to assemble furniture, but will also help you make competent sketches and drawings. But then again, it won't come cheap. Therefore, more and more people take up the manufacture of cabinets, shelves and other things on their own. Making furniture with your own hands is an impressive approach to furnishing living rooms in terms of adequacy and reasonableness, and at the same time a good way to diversify the interior of an apartment. The best option for the manufacture of cabinets, walls, as well as drawers and shelves will be a furniture board. Especially often this species material used to create a kitchen cabinet . The kitchen is the place where the family gathers every evening for dinner, sharing the events of the day. Therefore, it is very important to maximize the usable area in the room, without overloading it with furniture, leaving more free space.

Aesthetically attractive appearance.

REFERENCE. Furniture board is a material based on natural wood. Produced by gluing bars under pressure. There are several varieties of various types of wood on the market: spruce, beech, oak, pine. Used to make accessories, boxes, shelves, etc.

The kitchen is the place where the family gathers every evening for dinner, sharing the events of the day.

As you already understood, making furniture for the home with your own hands is not only interesting, but also quite simple.

Designs made at home with my own hands from a furniture board, have a number of advantages over factory samples. It does not require expensive equipment; for this, an ordinary tool that any owner can find will suffice. You just need to show a little ingenuity, patience and creative approach to the issue - and now you are already the happy owner of a modern and spacious closet or beautiful dining table for kitchen. So, consider the positive aspects of furniture made from this material.

  • Aesthetically attractive appearance. Furniture made of wood, significantly outperforms other materials and will decorate any room.
  • Security. As mentioned earlier, it is made from a variety of wood species, an environmentally friendly material without impurities and harmful components hazardous to health.
  • High maintainability. The door broke, the shelf slanted, the countertop deteriorated? No problem. No need to go to the workshop to repair your favorite wardrobe. This can be done with your own hands with minimal financial investment in repairs. Working with a furniture board is much easier than with the same chipboard, due to the fact that the tree forgives some chips and inaccuracies.
  • Low cost. In all respects, the furniture board is not inferior to furniture made from a cut of wood. At the same time, cabinets, kitchen tables and shelves look no worse and are durable and easy to use.

Furniture board is a material based on natural wood.

It is only necessary to arm yourself with patience, inspiration, necessary quantity the right tools.

The choice of design and possible nuances

First you need to decide on the design of the cabinet or table. It is necessary to take into account the free space of the apartment, which can be used. The next step is to create sketches and drawings. If it is not possible to develop a project on your own, then on the Internet there are a large number of drawings for a variety of design options. Based ready plan detailing, calculation of the amount of material required. In addition, the design plan will help determine what size it is better to purchase furniture panels, how to cut them to minimize the amount of waste generated.

Used to make accessories, boxes, shelves, etc.

Based on the desired dimensions and design, it is possible to produce almost any type of structure for the home.

Do not forget about the varnish, selected individually. Due to the fact that a furniture board is still a tree, and a tree needs special care. In order to prevent deformation, swelling of the surface, soaking (this is especially true for kitchen furniture), it is necessary to purchase varnish and cover the surface with it at least 2 times. In addition, the varnish will protect the surface from the negative effects of ultraviolet rays and give a presentable appearance. Today, the construction market offers a variety of varnishes, not only in a variety of colors, but also in textures. The same can be said about stains, which are successfully used in the processing of wood products.

Do-it-yourself designs made at home from a furniture board have a number of advantages over factory samples.

A wardrobe, desk or kitchen table, which you can easily make with your own hands, will meet all your requirements and harmoniously fit into the overall home environment.

For the manufacture of almost any designs at home, you will not need a large number expensive tools. In the arsenal of each owner, there is a high probability that there will be a screwdriver, a grinder, a hacksaw and an electric drill. With this set of tools, you can easily assemble almost any furniture for the home.

You just need to show a little ingenuity, patience and creative approach to the issue - and now you are already the happy owner of a modern and spacious wardrobe or a beautiful dining table for the kitchen.

The order of work in the manufacture of the cabinet

You can assemble the cabinet with your own hands using the example of the simplest model. I mean classic double wardrobe from a furniture board for the kitchen with a missing vertical partition. Despite sometimes small size, such furniture can be very roomy and ergonomic. After the preparatory work for the manufacture of the future cabinet, it will be necessary to cut out all the necessary details and parts. This procedure is performed using a jigsaw and a power saw. To assemble a double wardrobe you will need:

  • doors - 2 pcs.;
  • 2 side walls;
  • 1 back wall;
  • the required number of shelves (the size of the shelves may vary).

As mentioned earlier, it is made from a variety of wood species, an environmentally friendly material without impurities and harmful components hazardous to health.

When all the main parts and the frame are ready, you can start assembling. First, you need to take into account the drawers and shelves that will fit in the closet. To do this, it is recommended to leave 775 mm of width when cutting the sheet. Next, it is necessary to fasten the 2 side parts of the wall and the bottom with self-tapping screws. It is best to fasten the structure at a distance of 50 mm from the floor. After the manipulations, it is necessary to start cutting and installing shelves and drawers. Most the best option for this, a narrow furniture board will become, the holes in which are best done in increments of 100 mm. This is done to avoid deformation of the material during the assembly process. When the drawers and shelves are ready, they must be screwed into the cabinet itself with screws. Next, you need to install a cover on the frame, fix the back of the wall and fix the base on the corners. As for doors, it is recommended to use a surface of at least 400 mm. Holes for hinges are made in the doors, the doors themselves are fixed with self-tapping screws to the side walls.

High maintainability.

Assembling a desk from a furniture board

There is nothing complicated in making a multifunctional, compact and comfortable desk from a furniture board with your own hands. As with the cabinet, a sketch and drawing of the desired type will be required before fabrication of the structure can begin. For manufacturing you will need:

  • square;
  • plywood (thickness should not exceed 20x20 mm);
  • parts of the bar and plywood.

In all respects, the furniture board is not inferior to furniture made from a cut of wood.

You can assemble the cabinet with your own hands using the example of the simplest model.

To assemble the optimal version of the table, it is necessary to take into account all the nuances and calculate the required number of niches, shelves and drawers. The size is chosen according to individual preferences and room capacity. It is better to start the production of the table with the manufacture of the countertop. To do this, you need to use a large shield and cut a blank out of it. Pay Special attention on the corners of the tabletop, which must be processed and reinforced with bars before assembly. After processing the corners of the tabletop, it will not be superfluous to round off the most protruding parts. This will not only give the table an aesthetically pleasing appearance, but also make it less traumatic for all family members. After the countertop, you need to start making drawers, shelves and doors. Two squares 70x70 in size are cut out of plywood and cut in such a way that 4 triangles are obtained from them. These elements are placed on the back of the frame wall. Based on the finished drawing, shelves and drawers should be placed in specially designated places on the table. The boxes must be screwed with self-tapping screws almost into the finished part of the structure, and then proceed with the installation of the doors. It is necessary to apply varnish on the structure, preferably in 2 layers. The final stage in the assembly will be the installation of pre-purchased fittings, and the desk is ready for use.

First you need to decide on the design of the cabinet or table.

When all the main parts and the frame are ready, you can start assembling.

Shield computer desk

AT this case the principle of making the table is slightly different from the previous one. It is necessary to use 3 sheets, the size of which will be 2000x200x18 mm. This is the most optimal size due to its strength and therefore durability. When making a table you will need:

  • edged board (size is selected at will);
  • plywood parts.

On the basis of the finished plan, details are made, the amount of material needed is calculated.

The best option for this would be a narrow furniture board, the holes in which are best made in increments of 100 mm.

As in the case with desk, work before assembly must begin with the preparation of the countertop, which is cut out of the shield in accordance with the measurements made earlier and the prepared drawing. On the side surfaces, it is recommended to make two small recesses in order to place the table strictly against the wall, avoiding unnecessary gaps along the edges of the tabletop. On a vertical wall, the best option would be to install a transverse panel. Installation is carried out with self-tapping screws on the frame. The cross panel and the presence of plywood will help to give the table rigidity and strength. After that, a frame for shelves and drawers is made, parts of which are attached to an already finished structure. It is preferable to make as many boxes as possible on this type of furniture for greater spaciousness. To build the upper shelves with the required number of drawers, the shield must be sawn, attaching it to the countertop with self-tapping screws. For drawers and shelves, it is better to use roller mechanisms. As for the part for the keyboard, it is made of a shield, the size of which is 40 mm. Next, it makes sense to proceed with the installation of doors. After preparing all the components, varnishing should be done, after which the final assembly is carried out.

Today, the construction market offers a variety of varnishes, not only in a variety of colors, but also in textures.

Holes for hinges are made in the doors, the doors themselves are fixed with self-tapping screws to the side walls.

Finally

As you already understood, making furniture for the home with your own hands is not only interesting, but also quite simple. It is only necessary to arm yourself with patience, inspiration, the necessary number of necessary tools, to make necessary calculations and drawings. Based on the desired dimensions and design, it is possible to produce almost any type of structure for the home. A wardrobe, desk or kitchen table, which you can easily make with your own hands, will meet all your requirements and harmoniously fit into the overall home environment.

Low cost.

The size is chosen according to individual preferences and room capacity.

VIDEO: Do-it-yourself kitchen. Solid wood. (Pine) Kitchen from a furniture board. Kitchen cabinets..Part#1

Glossy tile, beautiful artificial stone, shock-resistant glass, silver stainless steel - from what material modern kitchen countertops! However, despite the high humidity and temperature fluctuations, many traditionally prefer wood. Let's try to figure out why a wooden countertop is good for the kitchen and whether it can be made on your own.

Wood and its substitutes, chipboard and fiberboard, are ideal for the production of modern kitchen furniture. Soft, malleable, sensitive to high humidity, the material after special processing becomes quite strong, wear-resistant and stable. At the same time, it retains its attractive appearance: a beautiful natural pattern cannot be confused with anything.

Admirers of environmental cleanliness in the interior can afford a tabletop made of a single piece of wood, but do not forget that solid oak, ash, cherry or walnut is much more expensive than practical chipboard. If you are not constrained by funds, pay attention to breeds such as iroko or wenge - the treated surface will have excellent functional and aesthetic characteristics.

Magnificent oak that never goes out of style

When ordering a kitchen, “wooden” usually means any product that is somehow related to wood. In fact, manufacturers offer furniture from the following materials:

  • Chipboard, chipboard, MDF, fiberboard - boards containing wood chips or fibers in their composition, bonded with natural or synthetic glue;
  • veneer - decorative sheets from wood not thicker than 10 mm (usually from 3 mm to 5 mm), which are glued to external surfaces;
  • solid wood - pieces of solid wood, the most suitable for processing, but characterized by a high cost.

Sometimes professionals use interesting technology: several sheets of different breeds are glued together and a blank is obtained, which bypasses even an array in terms of plasticity and strength.

MDF finish skillfully imitating reed

For self-manufacturing furniture, it is better to use a carpentry or furniture shield, since an inexpensive tree will also fit for its assembly, besides, the processing process is somewhat simplified.

Do-it-yourself wooden tabletop

We offer a simple option for making do-it-yourself countertops for a kitchen made of wood, or rather, from a special blank, which is called a joiner's shield. It can be replaced solid wood(in this case, you should focus on durable, but easy-to-process breeds, such as walnut).

Preparation of materials and tools

You should not hurry with the choice of wood, since the behavior and duration of the “life” of the product depend on its characteristics. Soft rocks are generally not suitable for creating a working surface on which they will constantly cut, pound, and beat. It is better to choose blanks hard rock, which include cherry, oak, cherry, teak.

Wood is a living elastic material that easily changes shape with changes in air parameters. indoors with high level humidity, which is the kitchen, the fibers quickly absorb moisture and swell, as a result of which the product is deformed. To prevent this from happening, treatment with special natural or chemical compounds will be required. They will impregnate the top layer of boards and increase moisture resistance.

Exist easy option production of furniture details - order according to individual sizes. It is necessary to independently make calculations (or even better - call a specialist) and take them to a company that produces furniture. There on the milling and jointers within 1-2 days they will cut out the necessary elements that will remain at home to be connected and processed. Or do everything yourself, but it will take more time.

So, if you decide to make a tabletop from boards or furniture panels, you will need the following tool:

  • jointer;
  • hacksaw;
  • drill;
  • cutter;
  • thickness gauge;
  • sandpaper;
  • marking tool - pencil, tape measure, square;
  • impregnation-antiseptic;
  • wood glue;
  • LKM - paint or varnish.

The main details will be well dried wooden planks, and nails and self-tapping screws will act as fasteners. It is better to select elements that are the same in size.

Assembly of the base - carpentry shield

Processing boards must be done in 2 stages - before assembly and after it.

The work plan looks like this:

  • level the surface of non-planed boards with a planer or jointer;
  • sand the surface of each part with sandpaper;
  • treat on all sides, including grooves, with an antiseptic;
  • collect parts in one canvas;
  • cut holes for the stove, sink, pipes, etc.;
  • install the shield in place;
  • treat again with impregnation or stain;
  • varnish or paint.

Now in more detail.

If you have taken up the independent processing of furniture, then most likely you have experience working as a planer. The grinding technique also does not raise questions, so let's focus on antiseptics. AT construction stores many types are sold, but we need a solution for internal works.

Assortment of antiseptic Senezh Akvadecor

An excellent option is NEOMID interior wood protective oil. The natural oils that make up its composition protect against moisture and ultraviolet radiation, prevent the appearance of mold, and make the wood pattern more expressive. Aquatex primer has similar properties.

Parts can be connected in two ways:

  • edge bonding;
  • spike-groove technology;
  • edge-groove method.

The first method is simple to implement, but not reliable.

Structure for gluing a carpentry board

If you need to glue several small elements, it is better to replace it with the second solution. But the most effective is the third method, well known to everyone who has ever assembled a lining.

The lining initially has cutouts along the edges for connection using the edge-groove technique

Another name for this method is tongue-and-groove. If it is difficult to make even edges at home, you need to contact the service where the boards will be processed for milling machine. Most cheap way- process thick plywood or MDF sheets. If they are thin (12-14 mm), the grooves and edges will also be thin.

Great build result

You can also use a coarser grooved connection, but it is more appropriate for decorating a country house or terrace. After joining with simultaneous gluing, it is necessary to cover the entire canvas with impregnation or universal decorative varnish.

Cover and the nuances of its manufacture

To hide ugly edges with visible joints, it is necessary to make a lining - a thin protective edge made of wooden bars. This is a variant of veneering, but made in a cruder technique. The bars are not glued or welded with the help of a technical hair dryer, but sit down using the “edge-groove” technology, as when connecting product parts.

Bars for lining before installation

The lining should be harder than the base, so you can use blanks from a different breed. Soft pine is best edged with a more durable birch or beech. Along the edges of the finished furniture board tabletop with hand cutter a comb is cut out, and on the bars, on the contrary, a groove of suitable sizes is prepared - about 10 mm x 12 mm. The width of the bars should match the width of the product or slightly exceed it. After assembly, milling and grinding is required.

High-quality gluing contributes to a tighter compression. To ensure it, metal clamps are used - large adjustable brackets. They pull the product together from opposite sides and leave until the glue dries completely.

Visible narrow gaps between the elements are rubbed with wood dust. The reliability of the lining can be increased by additionally strengthening the corners with self-tapping screws - one on each side. Self-tapping screws are twisted at an angle, slightly recessed in the wood, and the resulting pits are sealed with putty. The decorative layer is applied last.

Combined with plastic

Finishing with plastic sheets is possible in two cases:

The base remains wooden as before, only the upper surface is veneered, sometimes the edges. Plastic does not give in to deformation, retains its shape, despite temperature changes and humidity. There are special types of kitchen polymer coating about 1 mm thick, which, when combined with particle boards, becomes hard and wear-resistant.

Glossy plastic looks amazing

Sheets of plastic with liquid nails or universal adhesive attached to wooden surface if it is already installed. When making a new product, it is better to use a more practical inexpensive material – chipboard panel. If a sink and hob, it is better to strengthen it with support bars. They are fixed on the underside across the length, on the sides of the equipment cutouts.

Small shields are cut from a single sheet of DPS, but for strength they are placed in a frame of hardwood - lining. Both for fastening the crossbars and for the lining, double fixation is used - carpentry glue and self-tapping screws. Holes for self-tapping screws are pre-drilled with a drill with a thin drill.

Plastic is glued last. Liquid nails are applied around the perimeter and in the center on a smooth, cleaned surface of the base, treated from mold and fungus. Carefully lay a sheet of plastic, fitted in size and shape. To make the fastening more reliable, you can put a load on top, and fix the edges with clamps. If there is no lining, then a strip of plastic should also be put along the edge.

A popular option is plastic "under the tree"

Before covering with plastic wooden table top, you can get acquainted with other options - from artificial stone or ceramic tiles.

How to make a tabletop from a finished furniture board

Consider another option, a simpler one, for which we apply an already cut blank made at a furniture factory (some furniture companies provide such services) to order. This is convenient when you need to urgently make repairs or you need a workpiece that is difficult to process on your own - with curved edges, rounded corners, and many holes.

Features of drafting a project

When placing an order, you must provide the following information:

  • the exact dimensions of the shield and all openings (if equipment is planned to be inserted);
  • surface color;
  • type of material.

It is better to pre-draw a diagram or call a company representative for accurate calculations.

The sizes will be individual, and the type will have to be chosen from the proposed samples. Assortment on furniture factories usually wide, offer panels different thickness and with different coverage. The cost depends on the category, the cheapest are laminated chipboards, the most expensive - solid wood from valuable breeds tree.

Included with the tabletop is a dining group made of furniture board

The color and cladding must be chosen, focusing on the style of the interior and the color of the furniture. For example, a panel of any color is combined with white cabinets, and only neutral shades are combined with green cabinets.

What is needed for work

Additional processing of the cut blank is not required, so only tools for installation are needed. These include a drill with nozzles, a screwdriver with a set of self-tapping screws. You should also purchase wood glue and sealant.

Self-cutting blanks with a hacksaw

If you are considering various options do-it-yourself countertops, among them there may be projects consisting of several parts. This happens when the table has a large length or complex shape. To connect fragments with outside usually use aluminum strips that completely close the gap. Most often they are mounted on self-tapping screws.

Similar overlays, flat and in the form of corners, also cover the edges, if additional protection against mechanical damage.

Brief installation instructions

Before installing the panel, prepare all floor cabinets, that is, simply install them in their places. The sink should be located near the sewer drain, the hob - not far from the gas pipe or outlet.

Operating procedure:

  • coat the top ends or surfaces of cabinets with wood glue;
  • put ready product to the place intended for him;
  • check the accuracy of the location of the cut holes;
  • fasten the shield with screws or self-tapping screws using the corners.

In this way, the top panel will be stably fixed with glue and screws.

Window sill and table of the same design

There is usually a narrow gap between the wall and the table, which spoils the appearance of the structure and further creates inconvenience when cleaning the room. It is covered with furniture plinth. Modern models of wall plinths consist of two parts, one of which is fixed on the table surface with self-tapping screws, the second (narrow bar) is a decorative element. The visible edges of the installed bar are closed with end caps.

The nuances of working with chipboard

Chipboard boards are quite popular, especially when assembling economical kitchens so please pay attention to the following information.

Chipboard blanks are pasted over with a film on all sides

Suppose you have ready-made chipboard panels that need to be adjusted to specific dimensions or given to them certain form. When sawing into pieces, there may be a problem with maintaining the decorative layer. Chipboard is different from conventional particle boards those that are already covered with a melamine film - strong and wear-resistant, but tearing when sawing with a hacksaw.

professional processing circular saw

For delicate sawing, it is necessary to use a thin tool - a jigsaw or an electric jigsaw. The most aggressive way is the work of a grinder, in this case it should not be used. If you need to cut a large sheet, it is better to use a professional circular saw.

Work with an electric jigsaw at home

The technology of work is as follows: first, at the place of the cut, we make a sufficiently deep incision (3 mm) construction knife, then gently saw it with a jigsaw. We choose a file that tears the material on one side. A smooth edge can be maintained if the blade is preheated. To make the cut even, use a guide tape.

Making a furniture board with plastic:

Using theoretical material, you can independently make a beautiful and reliable countertop made of wood or chipboard panels, if desired, additionally covering it with plastic. The main advantage of handmade furniture is exclusivity and unusual design. And remember that when questions arise, the advice of an experienced furniture maker will never be superfluous.

hike in furniture store or a workshop with the aim of acquiring a closet can hit the wallet hard. In addition, the furniture may not meet expectations.

The purchase is often not able to accommodate even half of the things, having only seemingly sufficient volume. It is cheaper and more practical to make a cabinet from furniture panels with your own hands.

In the ranking of reliable with a long service life, furniture boards are in the lead. The production is based on the connection of wooden bars with each other under pressure. As a result, the wood is glued together under high pressure, forming monolithic system. Popular materials are spruce, pine, birch and oak.

Reference. In addition to the hypoallergenic structure, every detail can be easily restored due to the homogeneity of the wood in case of damage. This does not replace the element.

Dimensions and drawing

Before starting work, a clear understanding of the design of the cabinet is necessary. It is required to pre-clean the place where it is supposed to be assembled. In this case, the purpose of operation is determined. For example, Kitchen Cabinet should have a large number of shelves and drawers for storing cutlery, while the dressing room requires additional elements in the form of a hanger bar.

Depending on these factors, the parameters are determined future design. Produced measurements space allotted for the collection of furniture, and are transferred to drawing. At the same time, you need to decide on:

  • mezzanine height;
  • depth, height and width - parameters that determine the volume of the product;
  • the number of compartments and doors;
  • for internal filling in the bedroom wardrobe, the location of the bar for hangers;
  • the number and parameters of drawers, as well as the dimensions of the shelves and internal partitions(in the presence of).

All elements are reflected in the preliminary sketch. Having experience in creating drawing diagrams will allow you to design the outlines of future furniture on a regular sheet of paper. In the absence of such, experts recommend using computer programs or VR applications. If desired and accurately represented, the specified parameters will help create a 3D model, on the basis of which the assembly will be carried out.

When creating a new wardrobe to replace old furniture, it is possible to use the old drawing as a basis. Any changes should be made before starting work, as it becomes impossible to cut additional parts during the formation of the cabinet.

Reference. On the Internet, you can search for ready-made sketches of a suitable design. It remains to substitute the measured parameters and add the necessary branches.

In the process of creating a drawing, the required material is calculated, a detailing, cutting is thought out in order to form a minimum of waste. Also, the owner of the premises should consider what size of the furniture board will be suitable.

It is possible to build on the parameters of a standard shield 200x60 cm, if free space in the room allows. In this case, the depth will reach 56-57 cm, the width will vary from 1 to 1.8 m according to the number of doors, and the height will be 2 meters.

Important. After sketching the main elements, you will need to calculate the number of fasteners and accessories.

Materials and accessories

Furniture panels do not emit hazardous components throughout the entire period of operation, since environmentally friendly wood is used to create them. At the same time, the internal structure remains sufficiently pliable, due to which it becomes possible to process the material according to individual preferences.

The case and doors (facade) of furniture are formed from a furniture board. Its thickness should reach 20 mm. You will also need the following materials:

  • while creating wardrobe closet you need to additionally purchase a bar for hangers or hooks for clothes;
  • holders and fastening systems (self-tapping screws, door hinges, handles, locks) for fastening the facade to the sides of the cabinet. It is important to calculate in advance the approximate number of small parts.

    When buying on construction market fasteners are purchased with a margin of 10-20% of the required quantity;

  • drawers will require the purchase of plywood 6 mm thick for their creation;
  • the back wall is usually made of thin, flexible materials. For this purpose, a sheet of hardboard (fiberboard) or sanded plywood with 4 mm in thickness is suitable;
  • for the formation of vertical internal partitions and shelves, it is recommended to use 12 mm plywood. This is necessary in order to save money. A design made only from furniture panels will cost much more.

In the standard version of the drawing, the bottom of the structure is installed between the side walls, while the cabinet cover is placed over the sides. Therefore, the width of the lid exceeds the width of the bottom by 35-40 mm. Wherein top part the cabinet is able to protrude beyond the doors like a visor. In this case, it is required to calculate the height of the doors in advance. If there is a plinth, the doors should be shorter than the side ones by its height.

If there are drawers at the bottom of the cabinet, it is important to remember that they are not covered by a facade. In this case, the length of the cabinet doors is adjusted.

Important. The depth of the shelves should be less than the depth of the cabinet itself.

Instruments

It is recommended to take care of the preparation of the necessary tools:

  • centimeter tape measure and pencil for marking;
  • varnish for wooden products;
  • chisel;
  • electric drill with various nozzles;
  • hacksaw for working with wood;
  • self-tapping screws and metal profiles;
  • screwdriver;
  • grinding machine.

Reference. This set of tools is not advisable to purchase for a single use. It is more practical to rent for the time of work.

How to do?

Finishing preparatory activities it becomes possible to start assembling the cabinet. The installation process is divided into several steps that require step by step instructions. Each stage has its own characteristics.

How to assemble a frame?

For beginners, experts recommend using the instructions for creating a classic double wardrobe. The product has enough volume to accommodate a sufficient number of internal elements.

Also, the advantages include a small amount of effort and time, since the whole structure does not have additional details external image.

Helps make cutting easier electric jigsaw. This tool will be an excellent help for the formation of even elements of a double cabinet. With it, you can cut the following details:

  • sides- 2 walls are created in accordance with the prepared drawing;
  • lid. Should be lighter in weight. At the same time, it is recommended to increase its area so that the edges protrude 3-4 cm beyond the cabinet case itself. Such a design will look visually more attractive;
  • cabinet bottom. At the same time, it is important to remember that given element should have high strength due to high pressure. The latter arises from the additional weight of clothing and footwear;
  • doors in the amount of 2 pieces;
  • plinth- provides closing of space between a bottom of a case and a floor;
  • to form rear wall both plywood up to 4 mm thick and furniture board can be used;
  • shelves. Their number is determined at the stage of sketch creation.

In the lower part of the side walls of the structure, it is recommended to create grooves for a rectangular or rounded plinth. This is necessary to be able to more tightly move the cabinet to the wall surface.

Experts recommend varnish all the main elements and additional parts of the cabinet before assembly. High-quality and reliable surface protection will be provided after the second application. In this case, after the first coating, the entire surface of the structure is subjected to grinding.

Reference. Reapplication of varnish is carried out after the assembly of furniture.

Sequential steps when assembling the cabinet:


The cabinet assembly procedure is a simple job done with step-by-step instructions. In the process of work, it is required to constantly use a level or similar equipment in order to quickly eliminate distortions.

Filling

The internal design of the cabinet has compartments various sizes separated from each other by shelves. Rods will also be needed in order to support the weight of the clothes on the hangers. However, experts recommend starting with sliding drawers:


In addition to drawers, any closet must have a bar. It is intended for hanging different clothes on a coat hanger. For its fixation, special high-strength rod holders are used.

Facade and doors

When working independently, it is necessary to focus not only on the strength and durability of the structure, but also on the aesthetic appearance. At the same time, the style of furniture should correspond to the interior design.

Provide smooth surface will help lacquer coating . At the same time, it has protective functions, which consist in protection from insects and swelling of furniture panels under the influence of moisture.

Various methods are used as additional decorations:

  • the purchase of expensive accessories, which serves as a bright decoration against the background of light wood;
  • painting the structure in various color shades. In this case, it is necessary to purchase special dyes for wood.
