Kitchens and kitchen walls with their own hands. Making a kitchen set with your own hands

Any furniture showroom can offer a wide range of kitchen furniture. But not always buying kitchen set is affordable for the owner of the apartment. In addition to the high cost kitchen furniture, many have to face such a problem as its large dimensions that do not correspond small apartment. The solution to such issues could be independent production kitchen furniture. With the help of ready-made components, which can be easily found in almost any specialized store, it is quite easy to cope with this task. The cost of a self-made kitchen, as you understand, will differ markedly from that bought in a store.

Figure 1. The first stage of creating a kitchen with your own hands is to measure and create a drawing of the kitchen.

The process of making furniture for the kitchen with your own hands is actually not as complicated as it might seem at first glance. As for the tools that you will need for the job, they are so primitive that you probably have them in your home. Purchasing hardware can be a lot of fun, as the various hinges, handles, and drawer slides inspire you to create your own kitchen furniture.

Step-by-step instructions for making kitchen furniture with your own hands

Figure 2. A drawing of furniture placement must be made in order to visually make sure that the kitchen set will fit into the size of the kitchen.

Armed with a tape measure and a simple pencil, you can proceed to the 1st stage of work - taking measurements and creating a drawing (Fig. 1). First you need to make accurate measurements of the kitchen and write them down on paper. It is recommended to display the room on a certain scale, so the finished kitchen furniture will fit into it as profitably as possible. A drawing of furniture placement in the kitchen is shown in fig. 2.

At this stage of work, it is worth deciding on the location of the sink and stove. If their location does not suit you, the drawing should indicate the place where you are going to install them. As for the sink, the issue here is not of particular importance, but the installation site of the stove must be considered to the smallest detail, since the dimensions of the future furniture for your kitchen will depend on this. In addition, given the large size of the refrigerator, it is important to determine its location in advance. At the same time, do not forget about free access to it.

The next step is to fit the furniture for the kitchen into the resulting space dimensions. In addition to the lower row of future cabinets, the upper part of the furniture is also taken into account, and do not forget about placing the hood on top of the stove. In the process of calculating the width of cabinets, keep in mind that the resulting dimensions will have a direct relationship with the width that standard furniture facades.

If you have such an opportunity, you can place an order for all the components of the kitchen, while taking into account the specified dimensions, including furniture fronts. When calculating furniture dimensions, special attention is paid to the size of the drawers that, according to your idea, will be put forward. In addition, you should decide where the internal shelves will be located.

Figure 3. Drawing of kitchen furniture, taking into account chipboard dimensions.

Having correctly calculated the dimensions of the drawers, you will ensure convenient use of them, in addition, it will depend on what sizes decorative facades you will need. Based on where you decide to place the shelves, you can determine how many they will be required. It is desirable to make this calculation so that household appliances can be freely placed in the finished cabinet.

Having indicated all the dimensions in the drawing, you should decide on the material that is ideal for the manufacture of kitchen furniture. If you want to fit in minimum costs, you can give your preference to chipboard plates, the back walls in this case are made of fiberboard. At the same time, the most the best option there will be furniture facades made of MDF material, as they are distinguished by their practicality and durability. In addition, the material has a wide variety of colors. Regarding the choice of countertop special recommendations not available, here you should consider only your material capabilities and rely on your own taste. On fig. 3 shows a drawing of a kitchen set, taking into account chipboard dimensions.

Figure 4. Corner drawing kitchen sofa.

Given the fact that you will not be able to buy finished parts that have the dimensions you need, any company involved in this can provide you with a similar service. It should be noted right away that home conditions are absolutely not suitable for the manufacture of high-quality parts. The jigsaw in this case can only spoil the material, because by using it, you risk getting chips and other defects.

By contacting any relevant company, you will receive a perfectly sawn material, taking into account all dimensions, with already processed edges. If you wish, you can save money by doing the edging yourself. But in this case, you will need a melamine film, which, as practice shows, does not differ in its durability.

The melamine film should be glued to the end side of the part, for this a regular iron is used. Excess material is cut off with a clerical knife. Such a process cannot be called complicated, due to the fact that the basis of this finishing material paper serves, it is very convenient to work with it.

The kitchen will last much longer if you opt for ABS plastic edging. Glue it with the help of specially designed equipment. In the case of other types of edging, they require appropriate processing of the end part of the part.

When placing an order for parts, be prepared for the fact that you will be required to take all their measurements, which must be indicated in millimeters. It is very important that the dimensions of the fronts are approximately 3 mm smaller than the dimensions of the cabinets. In addition, keep in mind that their height must be calculated so that the doors do not touch the floor. It is recommended that the leg height be around 80-100mm. The drawing of the corner block of the kitchen sofa is shown in fig. 4.

Many firms accepting such orders provide an opportunity to purchase accessories here. In this case, it makes no sense to go to specialized stores.

Assembly process

The assembly of furniture that will stand in your kitchen is carried out in stages. You should act with the help of the drawing. First of all, lockers are assembled. To fasten parts, it is necessary to use confirmations (special furniture ties). Before installing them, you need to drill holes, for this purpose you will need a drill with a diameter of 5 mm.

To the finished cabinet body should be attached back wall, which is better to use laminated fiberboard material. After assembling the cabinets, the installation of adjustable legs remains. On fig. 5 shows a drawing of an L-shaped corner hinged kitchen cabinet

Figure 6. The design of the side wall of the kitchen cabinet - pencil case.

The tabletop must be laid so that it lies on the lower cabinets. To fasten it, use self-tapping screws. The sink should be mounted in a pre-cut hole in the countertop of the size you need. To ensure that the hole fits your sink exactly, place it on top of the countertop with the bottom facing up. Using a simple pencil, outline its outline. Taking off the sink inside the resulting drawing, draw a line so that it deviates from the previous line by 1.5 cm.

Then, using a jigsaw, cut out the hole you need.

The cut must be well processed, using for this silicone sealant.

Thus, you protect the countertop from the negative effects of moisture, thereby significantly extending its life. On fig. 6 shows a drawing of the side wall of the kitchen cabinet.

Before proceeding with the installation and fastening of the sink, also process its lower part using the same silicone sealant. This will prevent water from getting under the sink.

At the next stage of work, drawer guides are installed, as well as fasteners for shelves. Self-tapping screws must have a length corresponding to the thickness of the chipboard. For shelves in which you are going to store heavy items, it is desirable to use metal corners.

Properly selected furniture for the kitchen will provide comfort during work, organically write out in overall design. You can choose a ready-made kit, order production according to individual sizes or make a kitchen set with your own hands.

Advantages

Even with a little experience in carpentry, you can cope with the task. Making a kitchen with your own hands will allow:

Reduce the cost of the headset several times (at least 2 times). The difference is especially noticeable if, due to the features and layout of the kitchen, a standard set of furniture is not suitable, it must be made to order;
Create an individual design scheme that best meets the functional requirements;
Make a unique set, give it an original shape;
Be sure in high quality assembly at minimum cost.

Material selection

It is easier to make a kitchen from chipboard with your own hands. To make the headset cheaper and keep good performance characteristics, use several types of material:

For the basis of the design - suitable ordinary stoves from chipboard. The back walls can be made of fiberboard, the side and bottom walls can be made of chipboard. When buying, you need to pay attention to the expiration class of phenol compounds. It is better to choose E1, it is quite durable and releases less phenol-containing substances than E2, E3. A more environmentally friendly option is MDF and solid wood, but they will cost more;

Fronts of kitchen furniture - doors and front walls of drawers should be made of a material that can withstand constant cleaning. They can be made of wood, with carvings, glass inserts. You can buy ready-made facades from MDF. More a budget option– smooth chipboard boards covered with paint or self-adhesive film. Their service life is much lower, unlike wooden furniture, which can be stored for more than one generation;
Green painted MDF kitchen
The countertop must withstand moisture, temperature, be resistant to scratches. Filmed or varnished chipboard will quickly lose its appearance. More suitable laminated or postforming. The last option is a plate covered with a layer of plastic, resistant to impact, offers many options for color, pattern, can imitate the texture of stone or wood.
Ceramic tiles as worktops

Important! If a stove is built into the kitchen set, the wood for the structure is not suitable for fire safety.

An expensive option - a countertop made of natural or artificial stone. At home, it is difficult to make a cutout for embedding sinks and appliances. You can do the work in a specialized company, but you have to spend money.

This is what a countertop made of artificial stone looks like on working area cuisine

You should not make a modular kitchen from solid wood. The material is subject to shrinkage, shrinkage will result in an uneven overall surface.

Additionally, you need to pick up handles for drawers and doors.

Measurement Features

First you need to decide what the design will be: angular, as in the photo, or straight. The first allows you to save space. For a beginner, it is easier to do a direct type modular construction. It is easier to move it away from the wall if necessary, it is easier to replace or repair a separate locker. To make a corner kitchen with your own hands, you can use photo drawings with dimensions:

The project of the lower cabinets of the future kitchen set

Attention! When making a kitchen with your own hands, drawings and diagrams must be completed after buying built-in appliances and washing, in order to take into account their dimensions. If you purchase ready-made facades, you should focus on their parameters.

Creating a kitchen from plywood with your own hands

When determining the design scheme, you need to consider:

The presence of gas sewer pipes and plumbing - during installation, you will have to make recesses for them, and the sink cabinet is made without a back wall. For stability, it is necessary to fix the walls of the structure with metal corners;
The size of the hood - you can make a special cabinet for it;
Dimensions of the dryer in the cupboard. It is better to purchase it in advance and adjust the dimensions of the suspension module to fit it.

Connecting filters for water and other communications

The corner kitchen is designed with the same features in mind. For hanging cabinets, you need to determine a convenient location height. You can use drawings and diagrams in the photo to make a kitchen with your own hands:

DIY kitchen assembly process

Main details

After determining the number of cabinets and their dimensions, you can proceed to the manufacture of parts.

Marking places for fasteners

The standard cabinet consists of 4 parts:

Horizontal (2 pcs). It is located between the side walls, to which it is attached with confirmatory screws. Its width should be less finished cabinet two thicknesses of the side walls. If the chipboard plate is 1.6 cm, and the cabinet width is 80 cm, then the horizontal size is: 80-(1.6 * 2) = 76.8 cm;
Side wall (2 pcs);
Shelf (usually 1 piece). It can be screwed to the walls, then in width it should be equal to the horizontal. If you make it removable and lay it on shelf supports, for easy installation you need to make it 3 mm narrower horizontally;
Back wall (1 piece). To facilitate the design, it is made of fiberboard. The height and width must be less than the body parameters by 5 mm. This eliminates the bulging of the wall with small sawing errors.

Cut material for the future headset

Details are cut with a jigsaw after careful measurements. You can order a cut when buying materials. It will be done for an additional fee. The furniture company already has blanks for sawing. Standardly, their dimensions are a multiple of 15, which must be taken into account when drawing up drawings and diagrams for a kitchen set with your own hands. You can also make blanks according to individual sizes, but it costs more. Finished parts for each module must be numbered to avoid confusion in subsequent work.

Lower Kitchen Cabinets Assembled

Workpiece processing

If moisture gets inside the cut, the product swells and deforms. Gluing the edge on the edges of all parts will help to avoid this. It should be combined with blanks in color. On the one hand, it is treated with glue, which melts when exposed to high temperatures.

Silicone treated drawer joint corners

Edging is done with an iron and thick fabric:

The iron heats up to medium temperature;
The part must be placed with the saw cut up, measure and cut off the edge (with a margin of 2-3 cm), attach to the cut;
Heat the edge with an iron, pressing it firmly against the part. The movements are smooth, do not linger in one place for a long time so as not to burn the tape. The glue will melt a little. Without waiting for cooling, press with a cloth folded in several layers;
After cooling, cut off the protruding edges of the edge with a clerical knife without scratching the surface of the workpiece;
Carefully file the cut edges with a file so that there are no sharp and clinging areas.

Do-it-yourself edge trimming

For convenience, build a stand for blanks from a board and two bars that are attached to it. Between them, you can put the part, freeing your hands for edging.

Lacquering the front of the kitchen

Assembly and installation

Before starting work, you need to sort the parts for each pedestal to make sure that they are complete and save time during assembly.

Base cabinets

Assembly of lower cabinets kitchen set

All parts are connected in the following order:

Collect drawer(one or more, depending on the model). TO external parties attach guides to sliding mechanism, parts of which are attached to the side walls of the cabinet;
Twist the horizontal and side parts of the box, fix the shelf or holders;
Check the diagonal - put the body with the front part on the floor, measure the distance from opposite corners with a tape measure, it should be the same;
After nailing the back wall first on one side, re-check the diagonal. Fasten along all edges, the distance between nails or screws is 10 cm;
Screw on the legs by turning the cabinet upside down.

Assembling the lower cabinets for the future kitchen

Install in the right place, then screw the doors. After installing the cabinets, you can fix the tabletop.

Upper parts

The principle of assembling the case is similar to the lower cabinets. You can fix the upper modules with mounting strips: one is screwed to the wall, the other to the cabinet. First you need to determine at what level the mounted modules will be located. In order for the bar to be even, you need to use a level to outline the line of its future location. You can not measure the distance from the floor to the bar with a tape measure to avoid bumps and distortions.

Fastening top cabinets on mounting plate

After fixing the rail to the surfaces, you can hang the cabinets. Check their location with a level, use a clamp to pull the modules together. Install between the tool and the walls of the cabinets wooden spacers so as not to damage the surface.

Upper kitchen cabinets before and after painting

Intersection ties will help to fix the cabinets together, for which you need to drill holes inside the cases. To prevent chipping, hold wooden block at the exit point of the drill. The work is completed with the installation of doors on the upper cabinets.

The final stage of assembling a kitchen with carved facades with your own hands

Modeling an old kitchen

If the design of the installed headset is suitable in shape and size, but it needs to be replaced, you can use it as a basis for manufacturing new kitchen do-it-yourself instead of drawings:

Disassemble the old modules into parts, number the details of each so as not to confuse later;
Clean them from dust;
Take measurements, according to which the details of the new headset will be made;
cut parts desired shape from a chipboard sheet;
Connect, fix new fittings, install in place.

DIY kitchen furniture decor

In the course of work, you can adjust the dimensions of some parts if they do not suit you. You can rely on photo drawings and dimensions for making a kitchen with your own hands.

After visiting the store and viewing the "sky-high" prices for kitchen furniture, have you thought about creating a headset with your own hands? Do not rush to claim that the task is impossible. In this article, I will try to prove not only the benefits of self-made kitchens, but also tell you in detail how to make them.

Kitchen from scratch

So, why did I decide to assemble a headset according to my own sketch?

There are several reasons:

You will have the opportunity to create a set that is ideal for the size and configuration of the kitchen, taking into account all its features.
You will get truly exclusive furniture with a unique design.

Such a headset will allow you to use every centimeter to the maximum benefit.
And last but not least, the reason is that on such construction you can save up to 50% of the cost of furniture.

As you can see, there are enough reasons to create a kitchen. Do you think that the installation process will require expensive tools or special skills? I hasten to assure you that you can assemble a headset with direct hands and the availability of tools. How to calculate the kitchen yourself, without having special skills, read below.

Stage 1. Design

With some large-scale work, it is sometimes difficult to understand what to grasp and where to start. And you need to start with the manifestation of your imagination to the maximum, which must be used in the design process.

Concept work

To get started, decide on appearance future kitchen. Clearly imagine how you want to see it, where you put a locker of one type or another, a stove, what materials to use.

Next, you need to sketch a headset. No special artistic skills are required for this, you can (moreover, I highly recommend) use special programs for 3D modeling. Quite simple and convenient "PRO 100".

Before creating a sketch, carefully measure every centimeter of the room and conduct modeling according to the data obtained.

What to Consider

Colored 3D scheme corner kitchen should contain all the necessary elements.

So you need to remember about:

corner sink and cabinet under it;
at least two cabinets to the right and left of the sink. They can serve as cabinets for storing kitchen utensils, or become a niche under washing machine, oven or dishwasher;
upper sections (minimum 2 units);
place for stationary equipment (refrigerator, for example).

Home masters, having a broad outlook and a desire to do everything with my own hands, they can make furniture for the kitchen themselves. This not only saves cash but also gain experience and skills. Now there is no difficulty in acquiring all necessary components: panels for furniture, fittings, fasteners. Experience shows what to collect furniture is not a problem, it will be more difficult to create drawings of kitchen furniture with your own hands, you need to take into account all the possible nuances when creating diagrams.

The main requirements for furniture are comfort and operation, ease of maintenance and beauty, all factors depend on the drawing of the future kitchen.

Drawing of kitchen furniture

How to take accurate measurements of kitchen furniture and create a sketch based on them

Let's give the simplest example based on a straight-line arrangement of a kitchen set.

The basics of creating kitchens show that in a small kitchen, for rational and convenient use of space, a linear type of furniture arrangement has a certain sequence. The main thing is to arrange all the parts of the kitchen in their order:

Refrigerator;
Washing;
Tabletop (has a width of at least 50 cm);
Plate.

Many people wonder what is the logic of such an arrangement of furniture? But the fact is that the basis of kitchen design involves placing all parts of the kitchen in such a way that you spend less time, that is, make less movements when cooking. Thus, the kitchen becomes more convenient for you.

It is worth thinking very carefully, as an open window or door in the work area can interfere with your normal cooking. You will constantly beat on the door, and an open window can blow out the flame on the stove. In the event of such difficulties, it makes sense to make a rearrangement.

Kitchen making - drawings, plans

The first point in the manufacture of drawings of kitchen furniture will be accurate measurements of the room. Knowing the length of the walls, we can easily calculate the dimensions of the cabinets. The height of the walls will finally limit the dimensions of our furniture. After that, we can choose the sizes that are suitable for us. You can use standard parameters and take them as a basis. 850 mm - height of kitchen floor cabinets with countertop, width can be taken depending on your needs, from 300 mm to 800 mm. The depth of the box can be in the run-up 400-500 mm. If you put out shelves, it is better to use minimum dimensions so we can save space. But the maximum values can be taken if we design hinged doors. According to the standard, we take a sink cabinet with a size of 800 mm. But if the dimensions of the kitchen are small, you can cut it down to 600 mm. Wall cabinets in width it is easier to choose the same as the floor ones. But it is now in fashion to cut cabinets to a depth of 300 mm. Height is usually 715 mm. The standard distance between floor and hanging drawers is 650 mm. But given that the hostess will most often use the cabinets, then you can choose the distance based on her height.

All standard sizes are not a hard requirement. Since the kitchen is made to your needs and with your own hands, you can deviate from the standards if you feel more comfortable. However, even here there are subtleties, for example, pay attention to custom sizes kitchen facades. It is from them that the price of the entire furniture set will depend. You also need to remember that in addition to furniture, household appliances will be installed. Its dimensions also need to be transferred to the drawing. After measuring all the components of the kitchen, you can start transferring everything onto paper or into a computer program.

Corner kitchen top cabinet 600 x 600 x 720 - drawings, sketches (standard)

Wall mounted kitchen cabinet 260 x 320 x 720 - drawings, sketches (standard)

Hanging kitchen cabinet 300 x 320 x 720 - drawings, sketches (standard)

Kitchen upper module 340 x 320 x 720 - drawings, sketches (non-standard)

Upper module 600 x 390 x 288 - drawings, sketches (non-standard)

Kitchen upper module 800 x 320 x 720 - drawings, sketches (standard)

Radius kitchen upper module 580 x 320 x 720 - drawings, sketches (non-standard)

Kitchen lower module for the oven 600 x 600 x 860 - drawings, sketches (standard)

Kitchen lower module 260 x 600 x 820 - drawings, sketches (standard)

Kitchen bottom module with shelf 350 x 600 x 860 - drawings, sketches (standard)

Calculation of furniture dimensions

This is the most milestone from the whole project, here you need to strain all your attention and concentrate on the details. You need to break each drawer and cabinet, calculate them separately. On the advice of experts, special attention should be paid to the cabinet for cooking and for the oven, according to them, this is the element where beginners make the most mistakes when designing a kitchen that they do on their own. The drawing of this part must be approached with due attention and concentration.

The main thing in furniture drawings is the ability to break down all the elements of furniture into parts, and then be able to correctly divide them into components. This example includes:

Side walls.
Rear panel.
Doors.
Shelves.

If a drawer is being designed, then it must also be detailed, with special attention indicating the location furniture fittings. The main thing in this process is to indicate all the drawings accurately, since an error in this matter is unacceptable.

List of required parts

It is always necessary to draw up specifications for the drawings (a list of parts for each of the cabinets) indicating the quantity of all the details of the future kitchen. The main thing Don't forget to include accessories. Parts list example:

Back wall (DVP).
Side walls (LDSP).
Facade (it is usually chosen before the list is made).

The only thing left to do is place an order. The question "Where?" you can't even lift it. In every small town there are enough furniture workshops that, for little money, will cut you from materials into furniture elements. Usually they have enough of an assembly drawing, as well as sketches of each element, broken down into parts.

To make with your own hands wooden furniture to the kitchen, first you need to decide what kind of wood you will work with as the main material. The modern market offers more than 40 types of wood - hard and soft. Solid ones include oak, beech, walnut, yew - their wood is more durable, but it is also more difficult to process them, so they are ideal for the manufacture of solid arrays and slabs. Of the soft ones, you can choose pine, spruce, poplar - they have a smaller margin of safety, but they are easy to process and can be used to design shelves, small cabinets and individual elements decor. And, of course, the selected material must be of high quality, thoroughly dried and dense, without knots, cracks and layers. V wooden house a DIY kitchen made from the same type of wood as the house itself will look especially good.

Step two. We choose a project and take measurements.

In choosing a project, you can rely on your own imagination or trust professional designers. In addition, you can use Internet resources and choose one of standard projects taking into account the dimensions of your kitchen and your wishes.

To take measurements, we clean the kitchen space and take a tape measure. Measurements are taken at 3 points - near the ceiling, at a height of 5-10 cm from the floor and at shoulder level. By the way, it is at this stage that it is already important to know what kind of wood set you will create - if it is ordinary straight furniture, then we will get by with one tape measure, but if angular structures are planned, then it would be better to use a laser rangefinder.

Thus, we calculate the total amount of material required in square meters, not forgetting the back and bottom surfaces, doors, finishing elements, and so on.

Step three. We buy materials, prepare tools.

Having decided on the material and its volumes, you should take care of the tool. In this case, to make the kitchen step by step, you will need:

- electric drill and electric jigsaw;

– rule/level;

- construction meter / laser rangefinder;

- file, screwdriver, pliers and hammer;

- hacksaw;

- screwdriver;

- emery material / planer;

- a jig with a drill for holes for dowels.

Step four. We make sketches and necessary drawings.

Again, you can try to do everything yourself or resort to the services of 3D design specialists, as well as independently use one of the existing graphic design programs - PRO100, AutoCad or Basis Furniture Maker. (To save money, you can contact the students of specialized institutions - you can get unique drawings for a reasonable price).

Step five. We prepare and collect parts.

First, we cut out the base of the furniture from a solid array, process the surface and ends, drill holes for fasteners. It is advisable to mark each sawn part in some way, so that later during assembly you do not get confused in them. Cutting accuracy is very important - even a few millimeters of error can play a bad role, but the parts will still be polished, which will also slightly reduce their dimensions.

After the main grinding, you can start assembling furniture. We distribute all parts into upper and lower, main and additional. We form the main frame, look at the tightness of the flaps. For example, you can organize the assembly on dowels and euro screws using a Phillips screwdriver and a screwdriver.

If everything fits together, there are no gaps and inaccuracies, we disassemble the furniture, subject it to final fine grinding, treat it with antiseptic solutions and varnish each part separately, preferably in three layers.

When everything dries, we assemble the entire structure and install it in the prepared place. First, cabinets are hung at the top, then the main furniture and lower structures are installed according to the level, fittings are screwed and hung, and a cornice is mounted if desired.

Beautiful wooden table for the kitchen - do it yourself!

For a more visual understanding of the process, you can consider in detail the independent production of a dining table (pictured).

To do dinner table with your own hands, edged boards will come in handy. If you want to have a solid wood table in your kitchen standard sizes 0.6x1 m, then you will need about 4 boards 50x150 mm. Oak or beech would be an excellent material for a table, but if you are a beginner, it would be better to prefer spruce or pine, they are easier to work with.

Scheme of work on the tabletop.

1. We mark and cut the boards at a right angle to align them in length.

2. Properly arrange the wood (alternating boards, the rings of which increase downwards with those in which they decrease, will avoid significant gaps after the boards dry).

3. We process the ends with a jointer.

4. We connect the structure in one of the ways: nails, screws, glue, furniture dowels and the like at your discretion.

5. If glue was used, dry the surface until the characteristic traces disappear.

6. Once again we process with a jointer, and then with sandpaper, sharp corners round off.

Let's move on to the table legs.

You can make them from the same edged boards. We choose an arbitrary form. The usual working height from the floor level to the countertop is about 80 cm. We make one leg for example and, using this sample, we cut three more of the same with an accuracy of a couple of millimeters. If you want sophistication and sophistication, the legs can be processed with a milling cutter.

Further - the legs are set around the perimeter and connected by jumpers, which are made of timber or boards and fastened under the table with glue or dowels. Similarly, legs are attached to the jumpers to the table top.

In the final, we process the table with stain and open it with varnish in 2-3 layers. After drying, your new kitchen table ready to use!

For beginners, it will be useful to familiarize yourself with the training video.
