The art of massage is very useful and often used. But one mastery do it yourself few - necessary and comfortable conditions for the procedures. And something to recreate such conditions can be made independently. For example, a portable table for massage.
Materials and tools:
1. Polished plywood, the parameters of which are 9x600x900mm in the amount of 2 pieces. It should be very durable, since the table is designed for heavy weight, and ergonomic so that neither the client nor the massage therapist will feel discomfort.
2. A bar for the manufacture of legs in the amount of 18 linear meters. Parameters - 20x50 mm. It must also be durable.
3. 2 sheets of foam rubber 50x600x900 mm. An alternative is polyurethane. Select a filler must be high density. The best option is a mixed filler.
4. Faux leather presentable appearance 1100x2100 mm.
5. Screws with a length of 15 mm.
6. Piano loops in the amount of 14 pieces in the format 18x50 mm.
7. Self-tapping screws with a length of 45, 35 and 20 mm.
8. PVA glue.
9. Handle, clasp.
10. Sandpaper.
11. A circular saw with an inclined disc.
12. Drill with drills.
13. Hacksaw.
14. Screwdriver.
15. Chisel, hammer.
16. Joiner's fine-toothed hacksaw.
17. Electric jigsaw.
18. Mechanical stapler with staples.
19. Paper cutter.
20. Roulette, square, ruler.
21. Pencil.
Operating procedure:
Start work with the manufacture of countertops. Segments are marked on two pieces of plywood. Their sizes should be 600x900 mm. These blanks will be sawn with a jigsaw. The ends are cleaned with an emery cloth. For convenience, it is recommended to wrap this skin around a suitable shape of a wooden block. However, the use of a grinding machine will greatly facilitate the work. On one of the blanks, it is necessary to cut an oval hole for the face. It is simply necessary to make it, because women during the procedures often worry about the state of makeup and therefore can not relax. The dimensions of such a hole are recommended to be made 180x110 mm. To create the perfect shape, use the pan lid, a plate.
Now you need to make a frame for the countertop. Four pieces of 900 mm in length each and another four pieces of 560 mm are cut out from a 20x50 mm timber. The blanks are connected on self-tapping screws with a length of 45 mm so that two frames are obtained.The dimensions of these frames will be 600x900 mm along the outer edge. Holes with a depth of 2-3 mm for fasteners are drilled in advance, otherwise the beam may well crack under the screws. Once the frames are assembled, you need to fasten the covers to them using nails or self-tapping screws 20 mm long.
Now is the time to think about how to make the product comfortable for the client. Convenience in this case is the key to almost half the success of the procedure. To ensure it, on a layer of glue applied to the countertop, you need to lay two sheets of foam. Once the glue has dried sufficiently, excess material is cut off and an oval for the face is cut out at the right place.
It's time to make beautifully the future table, upholstered in artificial leather. During skin application, its edges are tucked behind the frame. Further, these edges are attached to the beam with a stapler. The attachment sequence is as follows: first, the long sides are processed, then the short ones are observed with a step of 10 mm. The next step is to form the corners. Try to avoid creases. Do not forget about the loops for which space is left on one of the short sides.
To create legs from a 20x50 mm beam, two sets of special blanks are cut, each of which has 6 bars. To collect the first two supports, the three parts are lapped together using self-tapping screws. The lower ends of the long workpieces are cut by 41 degrees. If it is difficult to adhere to such accuracy, the angle is simply made obtuse so that the cut on all legs is the same. An electric jigsaw with an inclined sole or a circular with an inclined disk is useful here.
The next two supports are connected in half the tree. The upper ends are cut at an angle of 30 degrees.
Further, all supports are assembled on the piano loops and fastened with self-tapping screws. The result is two sets of legs. You should immediately check them for uniformity and good folding.
Now you can make a table. Marked lines for piano loops on the inside of the frame. The hinges are screwed on with self-tapping screws, so that the supports and tabletop frames are connected. First, the fastener is screwed into the hole in the middle. In the event that distortions are not observed, side screws can also be installed.
Two halves of the table are connected to hinges, which are located at a small distance from the ends of the covers. The halves after installing the loops should be easy to fold - it is important to check immediately.
The spacer, which will give stability and height to the table, is made of two bars 53 cm long. Their short ends are connected by a piano loop. The ends are screwed to the short sides of the legs with screws and hinges.
It remains to attach the handle for carrying - and the product is ready! It is easy to transport and very convenient to use.
