Sometimes you want to relax while rocking in a comfortable rocking chair. Such a chair can be easily made in your garden or in the country, you only need time and materials. We proceed to a closer examination.
We will need:
Two sheets of chipboard (120 * 115 cm), a pencil \ chalk (for drawing), a screwdriver + screws or a hammer + nails, a jigsaw, tape measure, paint (for painting work).
.
Step 1:
Transfer the drawing to the chipboard sheets. Some measurements are given, but the shape can be slightly changed according to your imagination. The main thing is not to make the round part of the knife too rounded! Otherwise, the chair will be overloaded.
Step 2:
Cut two such parts and sand the edges if necessary for evenness.
Step 3:
Saw twelve bars of 54 * 3 * 2 cm (back and seat), three bars of 52 * 6 * 3 cm (reinforcement), two bars of 48 * 4 * 2 cm (armrests).
Step 1:
Place one side of the chair against the wall, and fix the other at a distance of 54 cm from it. The assembly will be inconvenient if you do it alone, so ask someone to keep the details, because they may fall due to weight and instability.
Step 2:
Screw the first eight bars on the seat with screws as shown in the photo.
I advise you to retreat 1.5 cm between the bars.
The remaining four of the same size are attached to the back. Choose a comfortable position for yourself. The back should fit snugly against the back of the chair without any pain, and the upper bar should be slightly below the back of the head.
Step 3:
We fasten the fortifications as in the figure (these are three bars 52 * 6 * 3 cm). Try to ensure that each beam is perpendicular to the sidewall, otherwise the chair will "ride" sideways. If it staggers even with such fortifications, then pull off the upper parts of the side parts with the same bars.
Step 4:
The armrests can be rounded on one side (in width). We fasten them to a convenient distance from the back.
Side view:
Rocking chair is ready! Now it can be painted or varnished.
If the chair rolls over, it means that you have made too sharp a twist of the legs. This can be fixed by attaching to the edge of the rounded bottom area.
Have a good ride!
