Bar stools with own hands: manufacturing

If you decide to equip the dining room or kitchen with a bar counter, it will only get a complete look after you equip it with chairs. When choosing such items of furniture, it is necessary to take into account the design and style of the room. You can, of course, buy such an addition in the store, but the cost can be impressive, and the design features may not be suitable for a certain interior.

Preparation of tools and materials

If you decide to make bar stools with your own hands, then the materials can be purchased at a hardware store. Cutting is recommended to order in a carpenter's workshop. In order to determine the most comfortable dimensions of products, you should measure the distance from the floor surface to the bottom of the countertop. The gap between the table surface and the seat should be between 30 cm and 35 cm. A screwdriver and a jig saw, as well as a plane, tape measure, hammer and carpenter's corner will be needed. Take care of the presence of self-tapping screws and sandpaper. The basis of the products will be a square bar with a side of 50 millimeters. It will take an array, from which the kings are to be made. The thickness of the latter should be equivalent to 25-30 millimeters.

Additional recommendations for training

When choosing wood, pay attention to pine, birch or beech. As the optimal diameter of the array for the manufacture of the chair will perform 360 millimeters. In order for products to be finished, they can be covered with varnish or stain. For the work will need brushes, stain and solvent.

Manufacturing technology

If bar stools are made by hand, then using a jig saw from the array, a circle with a diameter of 360 mm should be prepared. This element will protrude from the top of the bar stool. The workpiece must be machined using a grinding machine, and the chamfer should be removed from the chamfer. A circle of less impressive diameter, which is 260 millimeters, should be prepared for attaching the legs. If bar stools are produced by their own hands, then the seat can be square, in this case the king will move. As an alternative solution, there will be a technology that involves splicing several boards with a width of 120 millimeters or more. After the preforms have been glued, it is necessary to dock and fix all the clamps, leaving it in this condition until it dries. If bar stools are made by oneself, then glue can be used for gluing.

Features of work

After the height of the bar stool has been matched, and you have completed all the above works, you can proceed to making the legs. For this, a square beam with a side of 50 millimeters is used. At this stage, an electric plane is in use , with it the entire length of the element should be slid with a slight slope. It is necessary to achieve such an effect that the cross-section of the legs in the lower part is 2.5x2.5 cm. As for the upper part, which will be fixed to the seat, it should be as thick as possible. The product will need four legs, they are additionally fixed to the structure and act as a support bar for the legs of the seated. If you make a bar stool white, then during the work you can use the technology described in the article, and at the final stage, prepare the paint of the appropriate shade. The next step is to manipulate the square beam with a side of 2.5 cm. This element should be scraped, and after cutting the end parts of the spike. Leaving the floor about 30 cm, in the legs you need to hollow out the nest that is necessary for the spike. Prepared in advance, the footsteps need to be installed in the nests using glue. The whole structure is strengthened by twine.

Conducting a chair assembly

Producing a high bar stool, the next step is to perform the assembly, eliminating the appearance of gaps and cracks. After all the details have been adjusted in size, the chair should initially be assembled dry, and only after you have ascertained that the design is ideal, you can use glue for such work. Today, even collapsible bar stools are on sale, but it should be noted that they are able to take on a less significant weight. Sharp corners of the thorns should be rounded. To fix the legs in the mounting surface, you need to drill two holes for the dowels, the diameter of which can be equal to 8 millimeters. The mounting board is mounted on the dowels as tight as possible. The legs can be further strengthened by means of steel corners mounted on the screws.

Final work

If you decide to make folding bar chairs yourself, then the legs should be fixed not by a method of rigid fixing, but with the help of special furniture canopies. However, in this case, an emphasis should be provided in the base of the seat. This will eliminate the folding of the structure during operation. Do not fix everything only mechanically or glue. A façade seat should be mounted on top of the mounting plate. It must be fixed with screws mounted on the back side. The height of the bar stool will depend only on your preferences and dimensions of the available table.
