Definition

Let's see what a furniture board is. So, this is a natural material based on wood, obtained by connecting together wooden blocks of different types of wood. The raw materials for the production of furniture panels are pine, spruce, birch, oak and beech. Based on this material, the manufacture of furniture from furniture panels with their own hands will be quick and easy.

Let's look at the main advantages of furniture panels:

  • It is a natural, environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic material, which can not be said about such a popular chipboard.
  • When processing does not cause difficulties in work.
  • Furniture from such sheets lasts longer than from particleboard and MDF.
  • It has high maintainability, that is, if necessary, a broken part can be restored without resorting to its complete replacement.
  • Sheets from bars are much cheaper than natural massif, but at the same time they are not inferior to it in aesthetic appeal.

DIY kitchen from furniture panels - drawings:

First of all, you need to decide on the parameters of the cabinet. So, taking into account the destination and having the area, the following indicators are determined:

  • Height, width and depth.
  • The number of doors and compartments.
  • The height of the mezzanines (if any).
  • Internal filling - horizontal and vertical shelves, their number, width and height, the size of drawers, in the wardrobe wall - the location of the bar.

Important! All of the above nuances you should reflect in the sketches and detailed drawings. The possibilities of the Internet are so great that in them you can find ready-made drawings for any design, including the cabinet. You can substitute your measurements for ready-made sketches or change details (add or remove shelves) at your discretion.Based on all the drawings, the amount of material needed is determined, its dimensions with minimal waste.

Materials

For the main and front part of the cabinet you will need a shield with a thickness of 18-20 mm. In addition, you need to prepare the following:

  • 12 mm plywood for partitions and shelves. The main internal elements can be made from furniture paintings, but such a cabinet will come out expensive.
  • Fiberboard sheet or thin plywood (pre-ground) for the rear wall of the structure.
  • Plywood sheets for drawers (if provided in the cabinet).
  • If necessary - holders for shelves, furniture bar.
  • Self-tapping screws.
  • Door hinges, handles.

Important! Most often, the bottom of the headset is mounted between the side walls, and its cover is on top of them. Take a cover with a width less than the width of the bottom 36-40 mm (double wall thickness of the material used).

Preparatory work

We will manufacture a simple model - a double-wing cabinet without a vertical partition inside the structure. To begin with, using a hacksaw or a jigsaw, we need to cut the following details:

  • Two doors.
  • Two side walls.
  • Back wall.
  • Cap.
  • Bottom.
  • Internal partitions in the right amount.
  • Base for closing the gap between the side walls, bottom and floor.

Step-by-step algorithm of preparatory work:

  • We cut rectangular grooves under the baseboard for the ability to move the cabinet to the adjacent wall.
  • We make the back wall shorter than the side walls so that it ends one level higher from the baseboard.
  • We varnish the case and two doors from furniture, and after drying we polish it. We are waiting for the varnish to dry, and then apply the second final layer. We give time to dry.

Important! Do not forget to install the hinges on the doors even before they are coated with varnish.

  • We remove 1-3 mm chamfer from wooden canvases so that drops of varnish do not collect on the edges.
  • Now proceed to the assembly. We mark and drill holes for fasteners and accessories.
  • Choose holes with a diameter of 30 mm and a depth of 12 mm from the inside of the door with a mill.

Important! Usually hinges are mounted at a distance of 1-10 mm from the top and bottom, and for massive doors an additional third hinge is installed. The optimal distance from the vertical border of the door to the edge of the drilled hole is 5 mm.

  • Install the cover on top of the structure.

Important! Remember to measure the cover diagonally to verify assembly.

  • Now fasten the back wall.
  • Install the shelves.
  • We prepare for the installation of the door - insert the bowls of metal hinges into the prepared holes, and then fasten the hinges with screws. We install door handles with screws.
  • We hang the doors, fasten the hinges to the side walls of the headset. If necessary, adjust them.

  1. We carry out a drawing indicating all the detailed calculations.
  2. We begin the manufacture of countertops cut from the largest sheet. We process corners, fix them with the addition of bars.
  3. Cut out the pencil cases by rounding the upper side corners of the material.
  4. We make shelves and doors for niches. We prepare devices for socles. We cut out from plywood 2 identical squares measuring 70x70 mm. We cut them obliquely to obtain a triangular shape. We place the cut out elements on the back side of the frame. We align the frame with a square, and then fix it with triangles.
  5. We cut and arrange the shelves. We mount the guide mechanism. We fasten together the cut out details of the boxes. We make and install doors.
