How to make a rocking chair with your own hands: for two

This chair will be a real decoration of the countrya courtyard, and a favorite vacation spot for both of you. And making it yourself is not so difficult as it might seem at first glance. Especially if you have some skills in handling wood.

So, you need to have the following tools at hand:

saws for wood, electric jigsaw;

disk grinder + nozzles with different grain sizes. At worst, a coarse-grained sandpaper will do. It completely replaces the manual cutter;

screwdriver;

drills on wood - set;

bits for screwdriver;

tape measure, pencil;

graph paper;

brushes;

A right angle with a long measuring ruler.

The order of work will be as follows:

For a start on millimeter paper with a step of 100mm it is necessary to draw patterns of future furniture. Even if there are small inaccuracies in transferring to a tree - it's not scary. The main thing is to match the size and shape of the sidewall, and from the bottom there were no protrusions.

The rocking chair with its own hands is made of plywood, more precisely - of eurofaners, the thickness of which is 30 mm. According to the pattern, you need to cut out the sidewalls and three kings, the size of which is 800x120 mm.

These drawings show what your rocking chair will be.

We cut out the side panels of the chair marked out in the form.

For a seat and a backrest it is necessary to cut off 35 pieces, length of each of which will make 1200 mm. The basis for them will be a bar 50x25 mm.

Please note: in this paragraph the main thing is to observe the multiplicity of each bar. For example, if you do not find a bar of the necessary parameters, make 35 rails of a different length.

For a rocking chair, you will need two types of fasteners:
- confirmats 5x120 mm, 12 pieces;
- self-tapping screws for wood 4x45, 140 pieces.

Then the stage of wood processing begins.

Sand the surface and take off the chamfer. Particular attention should be paid to the ends, because such an armchair is afraid of dampness. Therefore, the treatment and varnishing should be repeated two to three times. The ends can be impregnated with hot linseed oil - due to this moisture will not be absorbed.

Grind the surface of the details of the rocking chair.

Now you need to remove the sides with a powerful grinding machine or a milling cutter.

The holes under the kings are placed arbitrarily,as you want. The kings to the sidewalls are attracted by means of confirmations. For this, the plane is drilled through an 8-millimeter drill, and the ends of the mandrel are 5-millimeters.
