Joiner's carpet with own hands

Natural wood and as a building material, and as a material for manufacturing of furniture does not lose the urgency. Unfortunately, there are not many places on the planet where trees grow, from trunks of which it is possible to make integral door leaves, countertops or even wide window sills. Such an uncomplicated device, like a wipe, allows you to make glued wooden shields - blanks for home and garden furniture.

Technology of production of glued wooden boards

Even if the material (the thickness of the log) makes it possible to manufacture wide products, their further application raises a number of questions. Things made of a solid wooden mass are very capricious in operation. Those who have done enough with wood know perfectly well what a "board is a propeller".

In order for the wooden product from the array not to deform, the material must be carefully dried thoroughly beforehand and, preferably, for at least a month it is kept in the room where it is to be located. This condition is practically impossible, when we are dealing with a door leaf or a window board - humidity, temperature changes will inevitably lead to deformation of the product.

These defects are devoid of elements from the glued array. Take bars from one or different types of wood, are recruited into a single unit and glued. In order for the wood blanks to become a single unit, a special device is used - the vayma. With your hands, you can easily assemble a fully functional device.

Simple Vime, collected "on the knee"

Sometimes there are situations that one kind of work needs to be done once. Suppose, it is decided in the summerhouse in the dacha to arrange a table of glued spruce logs. Does it make sense to buy expensive factory clamps? In such cases, a simple, in a certain sense, one-time, vayma is made by hand. The device drawings are shown below.

In order to once glue an array of blanks, you will need wooden bars, long screws, a screwdriver, a hacksaw and a joiner's hatchet.

The workpieces are stacked on a series of transverse bars (a bar every 40 ... 45 cm). On both sides of the workpiece, parallel to it, long longitudinal logs (equal in height to the workpiece) are stacked and fastened to the cross-members by self-tapping screws. On top again, the upper cross bars are attached by screws. That's all the vime, made with your own hands.

To compress the workpiece, it remains, as shown in the diagram, to prop it with specially stripped wooden wedges. After the product is ready, the wipe can be disassembled and the material used at its discretion.

Vajma from steel profile

But sometimes craftsmen carpentry with their own hands are assembled no worse than factory ones. Here is one of the options:

The clamping screw is first unscrewed to the stop. Reiki paste and lay on the wedge, starting from the clamping unit. After the harvesting of the array is recruited, it is covered by the upper profile pipe, bolts in one of the pairs of holes (depending on the width of the future array) is fastened to the reciprocal knot.

By rotation of the clamping bolt the workpiece is compressed from the sides. The design of the wedge is made so that the upper and lower tubes when tightening the screw are also strongly pressed against each other, which makes the future workpiece ideally flat. Such a waima, made with your own hands, allows you to make any products - from cutting boards to door leaves.
