I decided to bring to your attention a master class on the manufacture of ottoman from car tires.
This wonderful pouf is suitable for both the house and the balcony, open terrace, gazebo. The whims of the weather are not afraid of this ottoman !!!
Let's get together, in more detail, this interesting master class!
For work you will need:
Car tire (or better yet, complete wheel)
Hemp or jute rope - 100-250 m (depending on thickness)
Board for legs - 24-36 mm (or finished legs)
Plywood - 6-8 mm
Waterproof glue
Thermal gun
Screwdriver
Drill
Jigsaw
Wood screws
Stain
Furniture corners
Lacquer
Wide brush
Paint
First you need to take the wheel of the right size and thoroughly wash and dry it.
Then cut out of plywood, using a jigsaw, according to the diameter of the wheel.
But here the author clarifies that the lower circle should lie flush with the side surface, and the diameter of the upper circle should fit snugly into the rim of the wheel, i.e., be slightly smaller.
For the manufacture of legs, you can take the old legs as a template, circle them with a pencil and cut with a jigsaw, you can buy ready-made ones or if you have a good imagination come up with your own unique legs design.
Then you need to make markings on the larger diameter plywood circle for the legs.
The author proposes to initially glue the legs with glue, and then with screws. For greater strength, since the weight of the ottoman is rather big, in addition to everything are trimmed timber and metal furniture corners.
Then the author proposes to cover with wood stain or burn wooden parts.
After the glue and stain have dried, you need to turn the workpiece over and apply universal glue around the perimeter of the plywood, put a wheel on the workpiece. Glue the upper workpiece to the wheel, applying glue to the rim of the disk.
And finally, the most interesting part is the finish of the ottoman (at least for me, as for a woman!).
For decoration, the author used a rope, it must be glued in a spiral, starting from the bottom up from the bottom using universal glue, the rope can be used in different colors.
The legs of the ottoman can be painted with bright colors, universal enamel is suitable for this.
And at the final stage, open the ottoman completely with varnish.
Such a masterpiece can be used not only as a ottoman, but also as a table.
Have a nice day and enjoy homemade!!!!
