I built a porch on my site, where it’s nice to do my own business and relax. To create a cozy atmosphere there, earlier on the veranda I made a huge laminated table, for which a huge bench is needed, and also it could be folded when it is not needed.
Tools and materials:
1. Drill, screwdriver;
2 welding machine;
3. The grinder;
4. Woodworking machine;
5. Boards length 2500 mm 7 pieces;
6. Pipe diameter 20 mm length about 5m
7. 2 hinges and 2 latches 1 door hook.
8. Screws.
First step:
I welded a 15 cm pipe to the bottom of the wall at a height of 45 cm, then I welded a 60 cm pipe so that the indent from the bottom of the wall to the pipe was 10 cm.
Second step:
I welded 2 frames of the sitting part of the bench, so that the leg was 45 cm high and the seat was 43 cm. I also welded a corner to the end of the leg so that it was stable. And I welded reinforcement to the back of the seat, which fits the inner diameter of the pipe and so that it sticks out 10 cm.
Third step:
Took, processed 7 boards.
Then I screwed 2 loops to 2 of them, observing that they were at the same distance.
Fourth step:
I screwed one of the boards (this is 1 board, which with hinges) to the back frame so that it protrudes the same way from the ends.
Fifth step:
I screwed another 3 boards to the back. Observing a groove one board thick.
Sixth step:
I fastened a bar of 50 mm by 50 mm to one board.
He put out the boards of the sitting part of the bench and screwed four crossbars to them so that the boards did not bend.
Seventh step:
I welded latches to the legs so that the bench would not fly off the hinges and jump.
Also drilled a blind hole for the latch.
The eighth step:
I screwed the hook to the end of the board and screwed the latch to the wall.
The ninth step:
Covered with a maple stain
Folded bench.
