Shield countertop in the kitchen. Tabletop made of wood with your own hands. Combined with plastic

No matter how fashion changes, a table of natural wood in the office, living room or kitchen remains a classic. In most cases, furniture panels are used for the production of such furniture. The furniture board is a modern high-quality material.

Advantages of using furniture boards for countertops

This material has a number of undeniable advantages:

For the manufacture of furniture panels, not waste is used, but wood blocks (lamellas) different breeds tree.
In the manufacture furniture board bars are selected, sawn in different directions. This ensures the strength of the material, it is less prone to deformation than natural wood.
The shield has a multilayer structure, wooden bars are assembled according to a certain pattern, connected with spikes and glue. The canvas turns out to be monolithic, resistant to temperature changes, deformation, moisture and lighting.

Countertop manufacturing

In appearance, furniture made of panel material does not differ much from solid wood products, while it costs much less. The countertop in the kitchen is exposed to water, steam, impacts, for example, when beating meat. Even in more extreme conditions, there is a countertop in the bathroom, moisture is added, the possibility of household chemicals getting on the surface.

For the manufacture of countertops, it is best to use furniture panels 40 mm thick, made of oak or beech, and sometimes ash or larch is also used.

The tabletop made of precious wood attracts with its qualities:

increased strength;
durability;
naturalness;
beauty;
heat resistance;
resistance to temperature changes and deformation.

You can choose one of three options for a furniture board:

extra-class (solid-lamella) - homogeneous, without defects in the form of knots and cores, assembled from solid lamellas;
grade A (fused) - no defects, has an even tone over the entire surface;
grade B (jointed) - uniform tone, there are a small number of knots.

If two letters are used in the grade marking, for example AA or AB, then this means that one side of the shield meets the requirements of grade A of the other B.

A top made of extra-class and grade A looks expensive and elegant, while grade B is more natural. The latter option can be used, for example, for the LOFT style.

Material handling

To prolong the life of the countertop, it must be properly processed. The countertop can be protected from moisture with wax or special oil for furniture. You can paint the product colorless furniture varnishes that will not hide the natural color and texture. To create the effect of antiquity, stain will come to the rescue. In the future, to maintain the countertop in good condition, you can use furniture wax, when it is used, all small cracks are filled, all defects are overwritten. It is important to note that in order for the furniture board not to deform, it must be treated with wax or varnish from all sides.

WORKTOPS TYPES

Rough processing tree - great material to create a tabletop with your own hands

Tabletops may have different design. They are made from solid wood, can be prefabricated, glued or represent a shield of wooden plates.

A solid array is used to make expensive premium furniture - such countertops are expensive. Therefore, to create a table with their own hands, two options are used - prefabricated structures or shields.

Important: glued worktops are made from boards (lamellas). You can take lamellas from different types of wood - then the countertop will look very decorative.

Glued tabletops are practically not deformed, since there is no deformation of the wood fibers.

For countertops, you can take materials such as:

wood;
mdf boards;
chipboard;
veneer.

Table tops look particle boards beautiful, but they have their big drawbacks - they are extremely short-lived and quickly deformed. The veneer tabletop looks very decorative. But it will only be good coffee table. Veneer is not suitable for a kitchen or a table for giving, as it is easily deformed and peeled off; does not tolerate frequent washing.

A wooden tabletop is considered the most the best option from a practical point of view and from the point of view of durability and beauty.

WOOD SELECTION

The main requirements for a wooden tabletop are that it must be durable. Accordingly, it is required to choose a suitable type of wood that can provide strength and durability.

At first glance, it seems that hardwoods are ideal in this case. But hard rock there are drawbacks - under the influence of moisture and temperature fluctuations, the surface begins to dry out or swell. It is more important to choose elastic wood, which, along with hardness, has the ability to return to its original state. Then a table made of boards of such breeds will not be deformed.

The most suitable breeds are:

cherry;
oak;
nut.

Important: today you can even choose exotic woods. Just keep in mind that they will cost much more. You can buy boards from exotic woods in hardware stores.

ADVANTAGES OF WOODEN WORKTOPS

So the benefits:

the wooden tabletop is easy to process and looks aesthetically pleasing;
the tree is resistant to sunlight; temperature, water;
scratches and chips on it are formed less often than on plastic and even stone, since the tree absorbs well;
Such a wooden countertop is easily restored.

Cons wooden countertops very little. And if you consider that a hand-made table is environmentally friendly and safe for human health, then the number of pluses greatly prevails.

TABLE SIZE

The size of a handmade table depends on the area of \u200b\u200bthe room and the purpose of the product. But, as a rule, its standard height is 70 cm.

For a family of 4, it will be enough to make a tabletop measuring 1m by 1m. The ideal table size would be 120 cm by 80-90 cm - such a table will accommodate not only the hosts, but also guests.

REQUIRED TOOLS

Choice quality material- the key to success Making a table out of wood will require a number of tools. In order to make a table, you will need:

jointer;
saw;
thickness gauge;
clamps;
cutter.

Materials:

wooden boards;
impregnation-antiseptic;
sandpaper;
wood glue;
varnish, paint.

MANUFACTURE OF A SHIELD TABLE

It will be easiest to make a table with your own hands from a furniture board. It is not so difficult to assemble a shield at home from boards - you will not need special tools and complex technologies here.

Important: it is necessary to process the boards with a jointer. If you do not have the skills to work with this tool, then it is better to purchase finished processed boards of the same desired length and thickness. Then making a tabletop with your own hands will not cause severe difficulties.

Before assembly, the tree must be dried. Then it is necessary to impregnate the tree with an antiseptic and let it dry.

Making a countertop involves preparing the boards for assembly. To do this, the boards are carefully processed, and grooves are made at their ends using a milling cutter or electric jigsaw. The depth of the grooves for do-it-yourself tables should be 10-12 mm. If the table is made of thin boards, then the width is reduced to 6-8 mm. Boards for countertops are divided into two parts. In one part, the grooves are glued with carpentry glue.

This is followed by assembling the shield with your own hands - join the board with the glued rail to the board with the groove. The boards are glued together and it turns out tabletop furniture board. Sand the finished tabletop.

Important: to speed up the work, you can use ready-made boards with grooves and ridges, which are sold in the store. You can buy a wagon.

After the surface becomes perfectly even and smooth, you can cover the countertop with paint or varnish.

Thus, you can make countertops of any configuration and shape. This creates an incredible scope for creativity.

Simple tables for a summer residence and a workshop can also be assembled, only the boards are fastened from below to the self-tapping screws with a beam. Such tables look emphatically rough, which allows you to create beautiful stylized country furniture.

OTHER WOOD PROCESSING

If the tabletop is made of fiberboard sheet or chipboard, then it will be necessary to protect the edges of the countertop from moisture. Otherwise, she will quickly warp.

In this case, an edge must be used to process the edges of the tabletop. You can purchase an edge that is easy to glue with your own hands with a hot iron. If you want to make the table more durable and aesthetic, then it is best to purchase a furniture edge with a comb. Using a cutter, cut a groove along the perimeter of the tabletop and then insert the edge into it. Such a do-it-yourself countertop will last much longer and will look like a factory. published

Tools for assembling a kitchen set

Before we talk about the features of its manufacture, let's explain what a furniture board is. In practice, this is a natural material in the form of wood sheets. They may have different shape and are intended for the production of furniture, stairs. The most common furniture panels are made from conifers wood, a little less often you can find birch or oak on the domestic market.

To create a furniture board, manufacturers use quite small items, so the material is quite low cost. Prices on solid boards indeed much higher, and operational parameters are almost at the same level.

If high-quality, well-dried wood was used in the manufacturing process of a furniture board, then it will have high performance parameters. Therefore, when buying material in a store, it is important to be vigilant, to prefer a better option.

Assembly steps

To assemble furniture from furniture panels in the kitchen, as in the photo, you will need to perform a series of actions in a certain sequence and prepare drawings. It all depends on what piece of furniture is specifically made. We describe the most relevant options for the kitchen below.

Table

The process of making a kitchen from a furniture board can be started with the creation of a do-it-yourself dining table. The table from such materials is practical, strong, durable. Possible forms of a table from furniture boards and methods for their manufacture are described in the table.

Table top shape	Manufacturing technology
Rectangular	Experienced craftsmen advise limiting themselves to simple rectangular shape if there is little experience in such matters. This design is created from a single shield measuring 2700x600 mm.
Rectangular with rounded corners	A rectangular countertop can be made more interesting in design by smoothing its corners.
Square	If you want to make the countertop square, you should use an electric saw and saw off the extra centimeters.
Round	If you want to make a table with a round top, you need to cut out two semicircles of the same radius from two shields. Further, such halves are connected to the countertop using transverse bars. And so that the joint is not too conspicuous, it is smeared with PVA glue, dried, and then the front side is polished.
oval	If the table is planned to be made oval, then a rectangular insert will need to be inserted between the two halves of the circle.

When the tabletop is made, it is reinforced with stiffeners from the underside using bars. Further, to this element of the future table from the shield, you will need to fasten the elements for fixing the supports. Drill holes for them in advance. Finishing the table implies the final grinding of surfaces and painting with varnish.

You can also make a kitchen cabinet with your own hands from a furniture board. At the initial stage, it may seem that the task is overly complicated, but this is not entirely true. All work is conditionally divided into three stages:

preparatory work involves the preparation of the actual tool, materials, the creation of a product project;
assembly - since the cutting of the parts of the product is done in advance, you will need to assemble them into a single structure. To do this, take a screwdriver and self-tapping screws. The sides are alternately attached to the back wall of the structure, then the lid and bottom. As a result, you only need to attach the facade and support legs so that the kitchen cabinet is ready. If you plan to move the structure during operation, it is better to prefer wheel supports. If the locker at the end of the work seemed too low, pick up supports for it with the function of changing the height;
finishing work involves grinding, varnishing or painting the surfaces of a furniture board, decorating a cabinet with a handle.

Hanging elements

A kitchen made of furniture panels often includes hanging elements. These are easy-to-use shelves, cabinets, which are distinguished by high capacity and practicality. The schemes for their creation are quite simple, and the work on their manufacture will take a few minutes. But in the manufacture of such furniture, it is important to take into account their features. And they consist in the method of their installation on the wall surface. Installation is carried out using special loops, which are fixed in the upper corners of the rear wall of the cabinet.

Properly calculating the weight of the locker along with the contents, you can create comfortable kitchen. To do this, determine how many kitchen utensils you plan to store in a particular wall cabinet, because excessive loads for hinged structures without reinforced fasteners are not allowed. For a beautiful service, you can prepare an open shelf, for bulky pots - a spacious corner cabinet with reinforced fasteners.

Finishing process

Structures for the kitchen made from a furniture board can be opened after assembly with varnish, which will significantly increase the resistance of surfaces to wear and give them attractive appearance. To do this, the furniture is sanded, varnished, dried in indoors. Do not forget that drafts will only spoil the process. Cabinets and cabinets with lacquered look classic, concise, stylish.

Almost the same technology is used when painting furniture from panels. Only after grinding, the surfaces should be smeared with primer, and only then painted. Then the paint will hold better. If you want to use some original idea, then it is better to refuse varnish and paint.

Let us describe the most simple, but at the same time very interesting ways decorating kitchen furniture that was made independently, without the help of professional furniture makers and expensive equipment, namely:

application of photo wallpaper - cover parts of the locker with newspaper and fix it with adhesive tape. In these areas, photo wallpapers will subsequently be pasted, and the remaining parts can be painted with paint;
we create the effect of antiquity - for such a decor technique, you will need to use foam baguettes with curls. They are cut with liquid nails fixed on cabinet doors. Next, the entire structure is painted, and after the paint dries, some scuffs are left with sandpaper in the corners and curls. If you want gloss, then you can use a sponge to apply golden strokes to the curls of a baguette.

The order of work in the manufacture of the cabinet

You can assemble the cabinet with your own hands using the example of the simplest model. This refers to a classic two-door cabinet made of furniture panels for the kitchen with a missing vertical partition. Despite sometimes small size, such furniture can be very roomy and ergonomic. After the preparatory work for the manufacture of the future cabinet, it will be necessary to cut out all the necessary details and parts. This procedure is performed using a jigsaw and a power saw. To assemble a double wardrobe you will need:

doors - 2 pcs.;
2 side walls;
1 back wall;
the required number of shelves (the size of the shelves may vary).

As mentioned earlier, it is made from a variety of wood species, an environmentally friendly material without impurities and harmful components hazardous to health.

When all the main parts and the frame are ready, you can start assembling. First, you need to take into account the drawers and shelves that will fit in the closet. To do this, it is recommended to leave 775 mm of width when cutting the sheet. Next, it is necessary to fasten the 2 side parts of the wall and the bottom with self-tapping screws. It is best to fasten the structure at a distance of 50 mm from the floor. After the manipulations, it is necessary to start cutting and installing shelves and drawers. Most the best option for this, a narrow furniture board will become, the holes in which are best done in increments of 100 mm. This is done to avoid deformation of the material during the assembly process. When the drawers and shelves are ready, they must be screwed into the cabinet itself with screws. Next, you need to install a cover on the frame, fix the back of the wall and fix the base on the corners. As for doors, it is recommended to use a surface of at least 400 mm. Holes for hinges are made in the doors, the doors themselves are fixed with self-tapping screws to the side walls.

High maintainability.

Assembling a desk from a furniture board

There is nothing difficult in making a multifunctional, compact and comfortable desk from a furniture board with your own hands. As with the cabinet, a sketch and drawing of the desired type will be required before fabrication of the structure can begin. For manufacturing you will need:

square;
plywood (thickness should not exceed 20x20 mm);
parts of the bar and plywood.

In all respects, the furniture board is not inferior to furniture made from a cut of wood.

You can assemble the cabinet with your own hands using the example of the simplest model.

To assemble the optimal version of the table, it is necessary to take into account all the nuances and calculate the required number of niches, shelves and drawers. The size is chosen according to individual preferences and room capacity. It is better to start the production of the table with the manufacture of the countertop. For this you need to use big shield and cut a piece out of it. Pay Special attention on the corners of the tabletop, which must be processed and reinforced with bars before assembly. After processing the corners of the tabletop, it will not be superfluous to round off the most protruding parts. This will not only give the table an aesthetically pleasing appearance, but also make it less traumatic for all family members. After the countertop, you need to start making drawers, shelves and doors. Two squares 70x70 in size are cut out of plywood and cut in such a way that 4 triangles are obtained from them. These elements are placed on the back of the frame wall. Based on the finished drawing, shelves and drawers should be placed in specially designated places on the table. The boxes must be screwed with self-tapping screws almost into the finished part of the structure, and then proceed with the installation of the doors. It is necessary to apply varnish on the structure, preferably in 2 layers. The final stage in the assembly will be the installation of pre-purchased fittings, and the desk is ready for use.

First you need to decide on the design of the cabinet or table.

When all the main parts and the frame are ready, you can start assembling.

Shield computer desk

In this case, the principle of making a table is slightly different from the previous one. It is necessary to use 3 sheets, the size of which will be 2000x200x18 mm. This is the most optimal size due to its strength and therefore durability. When making a table you will need:

edged board (size is selected at will);
plywood parts.

On the basis of the finished plan, details are made, the amount of material needed is calculated.

The best option for this would be a narrow furniture board, the holes in which are best made in increments of 100 mm.

As in the case with desk, work before assembly must begin with the preparation of the countertop, which is cut out of the shield in accordance with the measurements made earlier and the prepared drawing. On the side surfaces, it is recommended to make two small recesses in order to place the table strictly against the wall, avoiding unnecessary gaps along the edges of the tabletop. On a vertical wall, the best option would be to install a transverse panel. Installation is carried out with self-tapping screws on the frame. The cross panel and the presence of plywood will help to give the table rigidity and strength. After that, a frame is made for shelves and boxes, parts of which are attached to the already finished construction. It is preferable to make as many boxes as possible on this type of furniture for greater spaciousness. To build the upper shelves with the required number of drawers, the shield must be sawn, attaching it to the countertop with self-tapping screws. For drawers and shelves, it is better to use roller mechanisms. As for the part for the keyboard, it is made of a shield, the size of which is 40 mm. Next, it makes sense to proceed with the installation of doors. After preparing all the components, varnishing should be done, after which the final assembly is carried out.

Today, the construction market offers a variety of varnishes, not only in a variety of colors, but also in textures.

Holes for hinges are made in the doors, the doors themselves are fixed with self-tapping screws to the side walls.

Finally

As you already understood, making furniture for the home with your own hands is not only interesting, but also quite simple. It is only necessary to arm yourself with patience, inspiration, the necessary number of necessary tools, to make necessary calculations and drawings. Based on the desired dimensions and design, it is possible to produce almost any type of structure for the home. A wardrobe, desk or kitchen table, which you can easily make with your own hands, will meet all your requirements and harmoniously fit into the overall home environment.
