The process of creating bathtubs from wood.
And so it’s worth starting with the history of the invention of the bathtub, at first the bathtub was an object of exceptional luxury that only Kings and noble people could afford, the first bathtubs were also made of wood, but unlike the current ones they looked more like tubs or barrels, an approximate photo is presented below .
But with the development of mankind and technology, the bathtub ceased to be a luxury only for noble people, and became a simple routine for an ordinary citizen. With the development of mankind, the material for the manufacture of bathtubs has also changed, but man’s love for wood takes its toll, wood radiates natural kindness and beauty that can be watched endlessly.
According to the author, wooden bathtubs should be made of solid and moisture-resistant wood species, such as: oak, larch, cedar.
Modern wooden bathtubs are made using a different technology and using the latest tools and materials. As you can see in the photo, this bathtub is assembled from small pieces of wood, slightly resembling brickwork. All blanks are made according to the patterns of the drawings, flaws in this matter are unacceptable.
It is also worth noting that the increased moisture resistance of the bath is ensured by an acrylic coating. Of course, this bath requires special attention and care, because the acrylic coating is quite small and the slightest scratch can harm the wood.
But well, as they say, "beauty requires sacrifice" Just look at what a beautiful bath. And so now you should go directly to the assembly of the bathroom, to reveal the secret of its creation.
As mentioned above, all the details are made strictly according to the drawings and patterns, assembly begins from the top and gradually rising will go to the narrowing and bottom.
The most difficult part of doing the job is making the rounded parts of the bathroom.
Then it’s simpler, the author smears each blank with glue and then puts it on the base.
And now the outlines of the future bathroom are already beginning to take shape.
Next, the author takes a drill and drills holes in the sides of the bathroom, and then drives wooden spikes in there, doing this with utmost care so that the peg does not break.
Drilling is carried out around the perimeter of the sides of the bathroom.
But on the edges, the author has to drill a bit at a slope.
Further, the author mills the remaining details.
After the work, the author takes the clamps and makes a coupler of the base of the bathroom.
Next, the author takes a drill and drills holes for decorative inserts made of mahogany.
Inserts mahogany inserts.
And he polishes everything carefully, that’s what comes of it.
The author also recommends making stainless steel inserts in the form of various animals and figurines.
After the glue has dried and the bath is completely sealed, the author proceeds to install the bottom of the bathtub.
The bottom is smeared with glue and is again pulled together with clamps.
And now the bath itself is almost ready, then it will undergo thorough grinding.
After the bath is perfectly sanded, the master proceeds to cover the surface of the bath with acrylic and varnish in several layers.
And then the bathtub is installed in the bathroom for its further use. That's the whole technology. Thanks for attention! Come visit more often, do not miss the latest in the world homemade!
