DIY ironing board

Of course, every family needs this unit. However, not every person can afford to purchase through purchase due to fairly high prices. Therefore, an excellent option would be to create a floorboard with your own hands. It won't take much time at all and won't cost a lot of money. The article will describe in detail the stages of the entire process in detail. There are many varieties of the product: temporary design, folding, classic, and so on. It depends on the imagination of the future user.

What you need

To get started, you need to decide on the tools you will need. These include:

• piece of furniture board
• two bars with dimensions 3.5 * 4 * 30
• three pieces under 3.5 * 4 * 110
• jigsaw or milling machine
• measuring tape
• drill and drill bit 8 mm
• bolts
• marker so you can make marks
• scissors
• stapler
• pattern for upholstery panel
• textile

Subsequence

Now that all the materials have been prepared, you can proceed to the most important stage - the work itself.

1. The first step is to decide for yourself what the scale of the object will be. Typically, the figures vary from 125 * 35 centimeters (length * width, respectively).
2. You should measure and transfer the measurements to the furniture panel itself.
3. Prepare the bars, the dimensions of which are indicated in the paragraph of the article described above.
4. Next, cut out the parts.
5. Take a block and measure 52 cm from one end, and 58 cm from the other side.
6. Drill a hole at the marked points.
7. With other lumber it is enough to do similar frauds.
8. The longest of them are worth sampling. To do this you will need a test drill. Thanks to this, nothing will interfere with ironing.
9. The remaining product must be combined, and the middle ones must be rotated 180 degrees.
10. Create a small gap, the diameter of which will be 8 mm, having first retreated three cm from the border.
11. On the other edges, leave a distance equal to two cm and make a sample from one.
12. Use bolts to attach the long logs to the short ones.
13. From now on, your tabletop support is ready. All that remains is to fix them. To do this, leave a space from the border of the segment of approximately 18 centimeters.
14. If you cut a small recess at the other end of the element, then it will be possible to attach a leg there. This is convenient when unfolding the ironing board.
15. During production, it makes sense to pay attention to the upholstery of the fittings. This is also easy to do. It is just advisable to take into account the parameters of the tabletop. Next, mark the sketch with a marker and cut along the intended marks.
16. Wrap the finished installation in canvas and strengthen the structure with a stapler.

There are times when there is no time to tinker with such inventions, and the presence of a floorboard is mandatory. This problem can be solved with a temporary solution. Doing it is as easy as shelling pears. And if you also own a wide stool, then you are lucky. You only need to assemble a special cover, which will consist of three layers: a blanket, aluminum foil, and cotton fabric.

IMPORTANT! The second of these materials should be attached with the shiny side up. When you have collected all the essential things, you need to connect them with each other. This is done with a needle and thread.

In addition, you can use a stapler for fixation. Whatever the outcome, you will end up with a compact and easy-to-use device. And thanks to the three-layer product, the surface of the chair itself will not be exposed to high temperatures, so safety is guaranteed.

Advantages of a homemade board

As practice proves: since people thought of an independent invention, it definitely has its merits. So here are some of them:

• You yourself can adjust the length, width, height of the product. Make an ironing board specifically for the dimensions of the device.
• Of course, one of the reasons for thinking about manufacturing is cost. Many people's budget can afford to create an installation. firstly, the components from which it is built are accessible. And secondly, some of them may already end up in the owner’s house.
• The user himself can verify the reliability and stability of the structure.
• There is no limit to your imagination. The work can be done the way a person wishes: cut out the upholstery to suit your taste and color, from any type of knitwear.
• Easy to use. There are no fancy features that would complicate the process. On the contrary, the “fold and unfold” mechanism is more convenient and does not require much time.
• The opportunity to decide for yourself: to attach the unit to one place so as not to rearrange it every time, or not.
