Hello to all lovers of craftsmanship, today we will consider how to make a beautiful and comfortable dressing table in a modern style. The table has two drawers, as well as a mirror, without which the dressing table is useless. The author used plywood as the basis for the manufacture, the legs can be made of timber or a thick board with the necessary equipment for cutting. In general, the author used a fairly wide range of tools, machine tools and other machines, but for a real master to create a similar project and simpler tools should not be difficult. If you are interested in the project, I suggest that you familiarize yourself with homemade in more detail!
Materials and tools used by the author:
Material List:
- oil, varnish, wood stain;
- plywood;
- sliders for boxes;
- bars or thick boards;
- furniture dowels.
Tool List:
- a circular saw;
- drill;
- manual frezer;
- surface gage;
- Miter saw;
- equipment for painting;
- a hand circular saw.
The process of making a table:
Step one. Boxes and base
First of all, we start cutting materials in accordance with the plan. We need to make three drawers, and we also need to cut the material for the base and countertop. The author uses high-quality thick plywood as a material, a hand-held circular saw is suitable for cutting. The bottom for drawers can be made of thin plywood
Boxes are pulled together with self-tapping screws and glued together for reliability with wood glue. The author drills the holes for the self-cutters at an angle, this light is done using a special guide for the drill.
We will have drawers on the sides, and in the center there will be a mirror. We install the boxes on the sliders, the author has them with clamps, you just need to press on the box and he pushes himself.
Step Two Frame and legs
For the manufacture of frames and legs for the table, we need bars from a beautiful breed of wood and preferably from strong wood. If there are no bars, they can be cut from thick boards, but you will need at least a circular saw, the author even used a surface gage.
We carefully grind the boards before assembling the frame, if necessary.
When all the parts are ready, you can assemble the frame. To do this, drill holes and install furniture dowels. Having glued everything together, we tighten the structure with clamps and leave to dry.After drying, the tree can be soaked with stain or covered with oil, it would be more interesting to preserve the natural beauty of the wood.
Step Three Painting
The author carefully paints the countertop with drawers using a compressor. Of course, the material must be sanded well in advance, but if high-quality plywood is used, it can not be sanded. As a result, the table turns out to be a beautiful snow-white color. You can deal with a brush, but the result will not be the same.
Step Four Mirror and trim boxes
Our mirror will be secret, it is built into the shield that rises. The shield must be hung on the hinges, the author made a recess for them with a milling cutter.
As for the mirror, cut it to size and glue it with double-sided adhesive tape.
In the end, for each box you need to cut the front board, then you need wood of a beautiful breed, with a beautiful pattern. We grind wood well and soak it in oil to emphasize naturalness. Well, then we fix the boards to the boxes with hot glue and fasten the screws with screws from the inside.
The table is ready, it remains to screw the upper part to the frame, for this we will need the necessary special mounting loops and screws. If desired, the table can be polished, the homemade product looks great, and the table turned out to be quite high quality. To open the drawer, you just need to slightly press on it, handles will not be needed here.
On this project can be considered successfully completed, I hope you liked the homemade work, and you found useful ideas for yourself. Good luck and creative inspiration, if you decide to repeat this, do not forget to share your ideas and homemade things with us!
