A particular advantage of this furniture set is the choice of construction material. You can order all the frame wood or smooth-edged boards used here from your timber dealer ready-made in the dimensions listed. So there is no need to cut to width or thickness, You need the respective legs, Only cut frames or seat boards to length cleanly and at the correct angle.
This also saves you time, that you only have one pilot leg for the four chairs (see image 2) must be provided with marking lines. It serves as a template for transferring the markings to the rest of the chair legs. For drilling the dowel holes in the front of the seat- and leg frames, make a drilling jig out of leftover wood, which you clamp onto the workpieces with a clamp.
Using dowel markers, first transfer the dowel positions to the chair legs. For this, place a flat auxiliary plate of approx 30 to 40 cm width, clamp the legs flat on it and proceed with the pressing of the marker tips, as in picture 4 shown. The frames are marked at the top and bottom according to the same scheme.
The chair construction: All supporting parts are solid with wooden dowels 12 mm thickness and glue connected. The gapped ones 58 mm wide seat boards are attached with stainless steel screws.
Marker for thicker wooden dowels – In the trade are dowel markers only up to 10 mm diameter to get. With a large washer and a matching aluminum tube 1 mm wall make your own the 12 mm dowel markers required for this furniture.
1. Cut exactly at right angles, This is what matters when it comes to the frame wood for the armchairs. You can do this with a precision miter saw or table saw.
2. Nach einem Pilotbein (P), on which all scribe lines are marked, the dimensions are transferred with an angle to four chair legs that are clamped flush next to each other.
3. A drilling jig, Made from a leftover piece of frame wood and two small boards, takes care of that, that the dowel holes in the ends of the frames have a uniform position.
4. A flat auxiliary plate, on which each leg of the chair is fitted with an auxiliary block that is clamped flush with the marking, does the center punching with dowel markers (s. crate) easy.
5. Water with the sponge, let dry, then clamp them together in pairs and finely sand, this prepares the surface of all components for glazing.
6. The wood gets a weatherproof surface with a gloss glaze, with. B. Xyladecor Aqua. When it comes to white, there are at least two, better three layers makes sense.
