It is difficult to find a person who would not want to shine a warm summer evening in a comfortable chair with a cup of tea in his hands. But such furniture, unfortunately, is not available in all houses, most likely, because it stands in stores. In this material we will tell how the rocking chair is created with a pendulum mechanism with their own hands from affordable and understandable materials. We will offer you the two most simple designs, the final choice remains yours.

Varieties of rocking chair

Many, at the mention of this phrase, recall furniture from rural areas or all the favorite film about the skilled detective, who loved to think over the next case, looked into a warm plaid and smoking the phone. But we decided to dispel this stereotype, imagine a rocking chair as an ultra-modern and fashionable furniture. It is suitable for any interiors due to the abundance of models presented in the market. Before proceeding to work and make rocking Chair Do with your own hands, read the most popular varieties of such products.

Types of seats:

• Model on the clamns. This design You can safely be called traditional because the seat is mounted in it by means of curved guides, that is, the poloz. The main plus of this design is low cost and easy assembly. The only minus - when swinging, the crawl is strongly scratched.
• Models of pendulum type. Constructions are more complex, they have a fixed base and seat that are connected independently of each other. Such furniture is safe and stable, while it does not harm the floor covering completely.

How to assemble a wooden chair on the clamns on your own?

Have you decided to make a pendulum rocking chair on the clamns? The drawings can be found on the Internet, then simply use the proposed scheme or adjust the proposed dimensions to its discretion, taking into account your own physique and personal preferences.

Make an assembly on the proposed instructions:

• Selection of radius for polozov. Make a diagonal pressure on the rail so that then insert the ends of the plywood stripes. Position the trip from each other at a distance sufficient so that the plywood flashes with the necessary radius. At depth, the guilt must be at least 3 cm.

Important! Try to make the guilt strictly perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the main rail, since its curvature will lead to the fact that the polls will simply skew.

• Setting a reference point. Insert the plywood band with a length of 1.2 m in the prepared guilt. Note that the distance from the lamella to the rail should be 15 cm in the greatest bend point. Approve the design to the workbench, circle the radius by placing the center on the curved strip. At the workbench, according to the circled radius, lay out the shells, with the help of screws, screw them down to the table. Fanuer screw to the shell.
• Installation of limiters. Put the same size bars on the table surface to avoid slaughtering the lamellas, fix them with self-draws on the table.
• Printing poloz. Take 8 lamellae, lubricate them with glue, attach to the strip, which is fixed on the staples, align them by the marks put in the center. Right in the center, install the first clamp by laying the bar securely tighten. At the edges of the slave, lock the clamps, but do not tighten too much. Place the clamps towards the center to the edges and tighten. As soon as the lamella package is fully fixed, tighten the most extreme clamps.

Important! Prepare in this form in a fixed state. Leave for several days so that the glue is completely dry.

• Combining polozov. Clearly on the grounds at the centers, opposite each other homemade polishes, fix them through the clamps with transverse crossbars. Check how well your design is swinging. Cut at the right angle the ends of the polozov, across the grooves knobs stick them.
• Preparation of reinforcing elements. If you install the seat right on the clock from the tree, then they are warranty cracked. Therefore, cut the amplifiers from the board, simply speaking, the same polls, only less long. Make the groovers with a plot of glitter with plots with a milling.
• Connection of polls with amplifiers. The surfaces of the glued elements are lubricated with glue, insert the gloves into the technological holes. Connect the crawls with the amplifiers so that they glue along the entire length. Details are torn by clamps to the complete drying of the glue.
• Creating side racks. From plywood cut the template drawings according to the shape of the side rack. According to the scheme, cut out six racks. Wooden blanks with applied template Cut with a milling mill. Make on the end of each stage of the grooves under the spikes, pre-mounted in amplifiers.
• Gluing side racks. Melt the groove in the side racks, apply it on the spike and near it. Put the rack on the thorn, press tightly to the body of the amplifier. Perform similar steps with both polishes.
• Connection of the base. Crossbind concisely with the sidewalls. Do it with self-drawing by screwing them off the outside.
• Seat assembly. Cut two sidewalls from a solid board. From the inside cut into them a continuous longitudinal groove. Connect the sidewalls, inserting the rails and fixing them with glue. Install the rails as close as possible so that the gap is not formed.
• Assembly of all elements. Dinet with glue and spikes seat with side supports. Cut and install armrests. Cover the chair with a varnish.

Here is such a wonderful, durable, sustainable and convenient you will get a pendulum rocking chair with your own hands.

How to make an independently metal pendulum chair?

To create such a subject of the interior, you will need:

• metal profile 15 by 30 mm;
• steel strip 30 mm width and 3 mm thick;
• pipe with a diameter of 32 mm;
• rod 12 mm.

Naturally, in the work can not do without a brotank with a disk for working on metal, welding machine, measuring tools and clamps. To work with the pipes, you will have to find a special tool for bending a profile.

It will be necessary to perform such actions in a strict sequence:

• Production of the drawing in full size. Create the first thing before making a rocking chair's pendulum chair drawing. On the smooth floor, draw the side of the chair. To simplify a job a little, put on the side of some kind of home chair and circle the seat along with the back.

Important! Consider the smaller the curved items in your product, the easier it will collect it.

• Creating a housing for bearings. Measure the width of the bearing and cut 8 rings out of the pipe, that is, their number must correspond to the number of bearings used. Made on one side Details of the plug, use for this washer. It is important that the central hole in the washers is to diameter a slightly smaller rod.
• Assembling side details of the seat and backs. Inscape the profile on the existing drawing, weld two identical sidewalls. Attach them to the drawing and check the assembly correctness.
• Preparation of sidewalls. Using a special device, bring the profile according to the drawing, make such four details.
• Seat assembly. Cut 5 jumpers from the profile to the desired length of the chair. Jumpers breed to sidewalls, weld the part of the chair on metallic frame. From the remnants of the profile, bring the handrails, weld them on the sides of the already assembled product.
• Seat skin. Cut the pieces from the steel strip so that in length they corresponded to the length of the jumpers and breed them to the skeleton of the seat.
• Installation lower support. Weld together ready-made curved profile segments of 2 pieces. We weld along the same piece of profile to the end surfaces of the curved parts, as a result, you will get a design that resembles onions. Using jumpers, weld two sidewalls in the upper and lower part. Finished stools install on a welded base, bring transverse jumpers to it from below.
• Attaching movable suspensions. We weld at the bottom of the chair and the top of the curved sides of the bearing nodes with rods inserted into them. Connect the nodes on the sidewalls and the chair the same on the length of the rods.

This chair made for himself Vladislav Emelyanov. In my opinion, this is an excellent example of working when I really want to do something, but there are no drawings, like skills in their manufacture. Many should learn.

All about everything was spent by money signs:

1500 - Barus
1400 - fabric
500 - Porolon
1000 - sewing covers
600 - Fittings, Selfless, Bolts

TOTAL: about 5000 rubles.

In the project part, Vladislav helped the girl who had already had this chair - she threw out photos with dimensions (filmed a sewing meter). Then everything was customized to their needs. Here are these photos for people who want to repeat.

The process began with gluing bars 20 * 20, because there was no suitable blanks, which once again talks about the author's purposefulness

For this, such homemade fit pictures were used.

Next, from the end of each bar, plots for glue for greater strength were clogged.

Well, they already drank the bars themselves. Rounded the cirkulch and drank the jigsaw. Then the whole thing was all this - the tallest process.

Thus, all necessary details were made.
We start with the manufacture of supports. To horizontal parts, screw the vertical racks (screws + glue)

We deplorable in them the cutter of the forstner niche under the connectors and we calculate the cylindrical connecting parts under them.

We drive them on the glue into each other, collecting the support of the support.

The same design, but from another angle.

Go to the manufacture of a hinge part. This required bolts, washers and ball bearings. Using the cutter cutter of the suitable diameter, the bearings are taken to the workpiece

It was necessary to make a secret connection. In order not to be through holes. To do this, I drilled a hole, put a nut M12 and screwed the puck from above so that the nut fell out

Preparing the bases for the sidewall of the hinge module. To do this, in the rails drill a deaf hole at an equal distance.

Then they are going to glue into whole blocks.

Now Bolts are fed them to the reasons collected earlier.

Another view.

We collect and assemble on the base of the seat. (Rectangular frame with transverse lamellas). The bolts are accumulated in the deaf holes in which the cylindic racks of armrests will go.
The backrest assembled in a similar way to it.

Armrests are assembled by the principle with the sidewalls of the hinge part.

We put armrests.

They are fixed with furniture bolts to the back, giving additional rigidity.

Foam pillows are cut on the size of the seating and backs. After that, under these pillows were ordered covers.

Then the chair was disassembled and exposed to painting. To do this, used aquatex, "Walnut". In two layers.

Let us give a rolling knot again after painting.

And finally, the finals of all work., Which occupied a few months after work.

As soon as the rocking chair appears in the house, it immediately becomes a favorite piece of furniture for all family members. For the ability to calmly swaying on it, forgetting about the alarms, bustle, the chair is ready to forgive the easy sketching and even a small damage to the flooring. The pendulum mechanism is able to eliminate all the flaws without changing the effect of uniform swinging. Such a mechanism was called "Glader". He is excellent alternative Classic rocking chair.

It was especially loved by the headless chair with young mothers - it can be comfortable to feed and burn the kid. No excess sound hurts a strong, serene baby sleep. Please make your home, make a gift to women - make a chair with a pendulum mechanism with your own hands.

Chair with a pendulum mechanism

The pendulum mechanism is used not only in chairs, but also in the production of cribs. The cradle, the seat is suspended on hard wooden or metal hinges to a fixed, sustainable base. Movement, as in traditional rocking chairs, is possible only back and forth. In order for the swing was light, smooth, the bearings are often used when connecting the base and seats.

Experienced masters They advise to install hinged fastenings in such a way that in a fixed state, the form of their location resembled a trapezium with a larger side above. Such a feature of the installation of the mount makes it possible to not exceed the amplitudes of movement when swinging and, accordingly, makes the product more stable, which means safe. Use our tips and your work experience to make a pendulum chair for your home.

Work description

Details of the supporting part of the chair (base - c) perform from the 2x6 cross section of the cross section "(51x152 mm), all others are from the 2x4 slats" (51x102 mm). The size of the base parts is shown in the photo below:

1. Cut circular saw Planks of the desired length.
2. So that all internal and external roundings on the details are the same, take advantage of the French line as a stencil, noting the place of contact with the workpiece. You can use other handicrafts, such as a round jar with varnish or primer.
3. Cut extra with ribbon saw.
4. The upper parts of the base consist of three parts that are mounted with each other and with the bottom of the spikes. To cut the spikes (1 "- 2.5 cm long), make cuts with a depth of about 5 mm, then secure the clamp vertically and cut the saw all too much.
5. Similarly, prepare the spikes on 3 details of a length of 17.5 inches (44.5 cm). With the help of these billets, we scrape the right and left parts of the base.
6. Use a milling mill with a 0.75 drill to make non-cabled pump holes to connect to the spikes in the details of the base. The width of the holes should be 0.75 inches (1.9 cm), the depth is 1 inch (2.5 cm).
7. Apply on the connected surfaces, as well as in the glue groove, tightly secure the parts of the top of the base. Fix the connections with clamps until the glue is completely dry.

If there are excess glue on the seams of connections - remove them immediately with a damp rag or sponge. Then, at the finishing finish, you will not have problems with a non-uniform coating of the product with varnish or verses.

1. Use the drill to drive the openings of 0.25 inches (0.6 cm) on both sides of the upper parts of the base.

Working a drill, make sure that the drill is included at an angle of 90 degrees. The accuracy of the work performed will depend on the correct operation of the hinges.

1. Put up the top fragments of the base to the bottom item. Pencil note the seats of preparation of grooves for connecting the upper and lower parts.
2. Cut the grooves just as they did earlier in the upper base details.
3. Spread items. To tightly squeeze the uneven edge of the clamps, temporarily cut the carved wood fragments.
4. Round the corners on the details obtained, carefully pass the surface. Smooth the corners of B. hard to reach places You can with help simple adaptation - Mix a small piece emery paper on a dowel.
5. Start the assembly of two parts forming the database. Apply glue to the connected surfaces, perform connections. Fix the design by several clamps.

The basis is ready, now it's time to proceed to the creation of the seat and backs. For the manufacture we will use 2x6 boards. "

1. We use the french line lines to get a comfortable seat shape. If a similar form is not comfortable for you, make the necessary changes. The resulting item is used as a pattern for another same (2 side supports of the seat). You can take the following measurements in the photo below.
2. On each detail of the seat you need to retreat 1.25 "(3.2 cm) from a thinner edge and at an angle of 106 degrees make a groove. It will help in this electronic digital gender.
3. Via fantorous saw Cut the grooves in the backs of the back of the back of a depth of 3/4 "(7 mm).
4. Use the drill to prepare at the bottom of the 4-hole seat seats parts for the installation of the chair. They must be located in the form of a quadrangle at an angle of 113 degrees. Slide holes.
5. Prepare in the center of the opening of the hole for screw mounts when combining parts in the groove.
6. Start the preparation of the RECEX 23 "(58.4 cm) for the back (15 pieces) and seats (14 pieces). It is advisable to make details of different widthsTo arrange them from thinner in 1 inch (2.5 cm) to thick 2 inches (5 cm).
7. You can not process one side of each detail - it will be the back of the seat and backs. On the facial side Each strap round all corners, ends, pass the surface.
8. At both ends of the slats, measure and mark the places of screw holes for fastening to the bases. Drill holes, ride them at the top.
9. Assemble the side of the seat together using eight (4 for each compound) 1.4 "(36 mm) deck screws.
10. Check the strips so that after processing their length was the same. Start the installation of the ridges with the screws of the widest planks on the bottom of the back.

So that the distance between the planks is the same, use as a stencil bar, the thickness of which is about 3 mm.

1. Now cut out 4 blanks of the legs of the chair, as shown in the picture. Each item must be a length of 23.5 inches (59.7 cm), its parallel ends squeeze at an angle of 10 degrees.25. Collect the edges of the details.
2. Attach the legs to the seat of the chair so that they are installed in the center. The legs should fit tightly, so make a pencil mark on the rails that need to be trimmed.
3. Attach the legs to the seat on the 4 screw and glue. In this case, the front leg should be placed so that the distance from the lower edge to the base of the seat was 9.8 inches (24.9 cm).
4. To install the rear legs, remove 3 screws, the placement of which coincides with the place of fastening. Then install the screws and glue again.
5. Cut the harvesters of armrests from the 1x6 board "(2.5x15.2 cm). The shape of these parts may be arbitrary, but in the end, the place of contact with the back, you need to make a cutout. Do not forget to make the edges of armrests rounded, pollute the surface.
6. To attach armrests using a device for pocket holes, make 2 holes on the top ends.
7. Install armrests.
8. From the remaining pieces of wood or plywood with a special cutter, prepare traffic jams to close the recesses in the joints with screws. If you are going to use the chair outside, it will fight metal fasteners From moisture and damage.
9. Place the plug in the hole on the glue. Remove protruding over the surface of the part.

Finish finish It should be done when the mechanism of the chair has not yet been assembled. This will allow you to save working condition Metal parts.

1. If necessary, additionally polish the surface of all parts of the chair.
2. Cover the wood with a primer. To increase the stability of the material to atmospheric influences, apply 2 layers alternately.
3. After drying, cover the chair with varnish.
4. Attach with large screws with bracket nuts with one end to the top of the base, the other to the bottom of the legs. Make it with the displacement so that the line spent through 4 mounting points has formed a trapezium with a large base at the top, as shown in the photo.

The rocking chair in most people causes an association with rest and relaxation. Imagination draws a veranda dacha house, Warm Plaid and a glass of wine. Is it possible to make this piece of furniture, synonymous for measured life, do it yourself? After reading this article, even a beginner wizard can easily cope with this task.

• glader;
• classic on the shelter.

Each of the species has a number of features, so consider them in more detail.

Glader (with a pendulum mechanism)

This type of furniture has a fixed base, and rocking occurs with the help of a pendulum mechanism. He has several advantages over the classic, but the main plus is a silent job. That is why it often acquires mothers for feeding and making babies.

Classical on poloz

This kind of rocking faces is known to everyone, but not everyone knows what a wide variety of subspecies of this object of furniture exists.

1. On ordinary polls of constant curvature (radius).

   Radius polishes - the easiest and most common option of supports

   However, it is worth knowing that this is not the safest design option. Professionals are made to order, as a rule, rocking schools are not permanent, and variable curvatures that are calculated considering the growth and weight of users. Such models are the smallest risk of overturning.

2. On ellipse clamps with tilt limiters.
3. On springs.
4. Vanka-stand.

Is it possible to assemble a pendulum mechanism for a sliding chair on your own

The pendulum design moves the upper part of the chair relative to its base. To make it yourself independently needed detailed scheme. This is not an easy job. But the principle of operation of the mechanism is always alone. For simplest design It will take:

• 4 bar of the same length and two - greater (sizes are chosen depending on the design scheme);
• 8 Bearings nuts and washers.

Instruction:

1. Collect bars and drill in them one hole at each end for bearings.
2. Make an end beam (it keeps the weight of the entire sliding design):
   
3. Each end part to attach to two bars. This will be a simple pendulum mechanism. Next, it is connected to the base of the chair and the seat. Example finished design below.

Rocking of plastic (polypropylene) pipes: scheme and work order

Armchair can also be made from specialized metal or simple water pipes. To work, you will need:

• pipes made of plastic with a diameter of 25 mm (for sidewalls) and 20 mm (for transverse elements);
• drill and apparatus for welding pipes;
• armature with a cross section of 15 mm (inserted into the pipes to enhance the stability of the chair);
• fittings for angular compounds (2 pcs - for 90 ° and 6 pcs. - for 45 °);
• pipe plugs;
• pencil, ruler.

Instruction:

So that the chair was comfortable, on the frame you need to fix the foam mattress with a thickness of 50 mm. To do this, you will need a case with strings that is easy to sew yourself (on a typewriter or even manually).

Give plastic pipe You can round a form with hot sand. For this, the sand is heated in the oven to 95-130 ° C, one end the part is inserted into the plug, fill with sand tube, give the required shape and wait for cooling.
