Round cardboard stool

Below we have given you step-by-step photos of a master class on how to make such a wonderful stool with a round seat.
The stool easily folds and unfolds literally without any extra effort, i.e. all sorts of latches and jumpers, everything is simple here. Please note how the author (who is unknown to us) carved wooden tubes to close the metal pin between the legs. This stool is made from 22 trapezoidal shapes made of 3mm corrugated cardboard, the shapes are glued together with PVA glue. Below you can see the drawings of this cardboard chair.

Note: in the photo there is a chair that has been used for 5 months daily by a person weighing 80 kg, which already speaks of its reliability and durability.

A wonderful and compact wooden stool looks like the one in these photos. Unfortunately, we were unable to find step-by-step photos, but from the photos taken from all angles and presented below, everything is clear; an experienced master should not have a question here.

You can make such a folding chair (or table: it depends on the size in which you will make this model) with your own hands according to the model shown in the photo collage below

This stool is made very simply and quickly, look at the drawings in the photo. It can be made from boards, plywood and chipboard.

Wooden stools 300 photos

Having experience in drawing, I made my own drawings of a folding stool made of wood.

Then I started manufacturing and assembling the stool parts.

The timber was cut into pieces with a jigsaw:

legs 48 x 4 x 2 cm – 4 pcs.;
crossbars 23 x 4 x 2 cm – 2 pcs.;
large spacer 32 x 4 x 2 cm – 1 pc.;
small spacer 27.5 x 4 x 2 cm – 1 pc.

The ends of the parts were rounded with a jigsaw and sanded with an emery wheel.
I cut the ends of the legs on one side with a jigsaw at an angle of 45.
I tightened the legs and crossbars separately with a clamp.
At the junctions of the legs and crossbars, I drilled holes with a drill ø 6 mm.
The holes were expanded with a 1 cm ø reamer fixed in a drill to a depth of 5 mm.
I cut the board with a saw into pieces 39 x 4 x 1 cm - 6 pieces.
I sanded all the self-made parts of the folding wooden stool with an emery wheel.

The crossbars were secured with clamps, placing a temporary spacer between them.
Laying 6 boards on the upper surface of the crossbars. with gaps between them of 10 mm, secured them with screws. The result is a seat measuring 390 x 290 mm.
From the ø 6 mm reinforcement I cut a piece 315 mm long with a hacksaw.
The fittings were clamped in a vice. At the ends of the segment I cut threads for M6 nuts with a die.
I threaded the pin through the hole in one of the inner legs. I put a metal tube (tsar) on the hairpin.
The other end of the pin was threaded through the hole in the second inner leg.
The ends of the studs on the outer side of the legs were secured with nuts, having previously put on washers and groovers. I tightened the nuts with a head and a wrench.
I inserted bolts into the remaining holes of the furniture parts, which were secured on the other side with nuts. I placed groovers and washers under the nuts. Grovers are necessary to ensure that the nuts cannot unscrew spontaneously under the pressure of the springs.

After checking the reliability of the connections, I finished assembling the furniture.

At the end of the work, I summed up how much it cost to make this furniture. Calculated the cost of materials and time costs.

Stool in Art Nouveau style.

Before we present detailed instructions for making homemade loft furniture, we should introduce readers a little directly to the style itself. Why is it so interesting and why, despite the fact that it appeared back in the 40s of the twentieth century, does it still remain popular?

History of the loft style

Loft style furniture

The birthplace of the loft style is the USA. It was in the land of the Statue of Liberty that this simple, but nevertheless attractive style appeared. It originated in New York, in its industrial areas. During that time period, land prices were rising rapidly, and many property owners sold or completely abandoned their industrial premises just because of this.

And these same premises gradually began to be used by other people to create residential buildings. Moreover, such housing was inexpensive, and, as a rule, furnished “cheap and cheerful.” But, oddly enough, it turned out tastefully. This is how the loft style was born, which remains popular to this day. Gradually the style reached Russia.

Decoupage furniture in loft style

Moreover, both a living room and an office can be furnished in this style. Nowadays even restaurants or hotels are decorated in this way, and many modern hotels prefer to furnish guest rooms in a loft style.

Loft style interior

In order to embody the loft style in the interior, you do not need to spend money on expensive souvenirs, luxurious armchairs or antique cabinets. It is enough to use what in most cases was previously thrown away.

Loft style does not require large financial expenditures

It is easy to determine that a person is looking at a room decorated in this style. It is enough to pay attention to some signs.

The room should have a lot of free space, and there are usually minimal partitions in it. In general, only the toilet and bathroom can be separated in the apartment. That is why the loft style is often used in studio apartments, where even the sleeping area is located in a common area.

About the characteristic features of the style
The windows should be large and preferably from floor to ceiling. This is the main source of light in the room. Moreover, curtains are used extremely rarely.
The presence of various beams in the ceiling area is welcome, the ventilation does not need to be closed, and iron fittings add charm, but do not spoil the appearance of the room.
You usually cannot see wallpaper or other decorative material on the walls in a loft-style room. Brickwork or concrete is often imitated or left completely as is. Also, plywood, metal, etc. can be used for finishing. It’s funny, but to achieve the desired effect, sometimes you sometimes have to purchase quite expensive materials.

Option for the floor - concrete, board or marble. No complex designs or anything pretentious or extravagant.

And the main highlight of the loft is the furniture. It may be somewhat unsightly in appearance, made of simple materials, and does not have any decorations or monograms. Its charm lies in its simplicity and functionality. At the time when the loft was born, everyone had no time for luxury.

Loft bedroom

To make loft furniture, you can use simple boards, iron pipes and some modern materials. It is best if they have a somewhat aged look.

Loft style kitchen

Although, despite the apparent simplicity, to decorate a room in a loft style you need to have a certain taste. In general, with a successful combination of circumstances, a loft can harmoniously combine the incongruous. For example, a brightly colored modern sofa and an antique chest of drawers. So this style can be very, very different.

There are several loft style trends

Direction	Characteristic
Bohemian	This option is chosen by artists and poets, in a word, creators of beauty. Moreover, they can use the style not only at home, but also when organizing their own personal exhibition or show. Here the walls and ceilings are left almost without decoration, but other interior items or decorations are selected with a special sense of beauty. The walls may be decorated with paintings, there may be musical instruments, some sculptures, etc. in the room.
Glamor	This is a rather delicate loft, in which the same iron beams and beautiful chandeliers or sofas in the Baroque style can be perfectly combined. Here, much attention will be paid to lighting and directly to chandeliers and shades. The colors used for decoration will be gentle and pleasant (for example, it could be lilac).
Industrial	This is the most popular loft option, as it is the simplest and does not require anything special from the designer. It is enough to create the appearance of a moderately lived-in space. Furniture made by yourself is ideal for this type of loft. Even if it is a little unsuccessful, it will look no worse in almost industrial conditions than furniture from a store. Here any decorations are unnecessary.

Bedroom in loft style

Using a square profile and a couple of boards, you can make a very simple and interesting chair that will fit perfectly into a loft style interior. However, this will require a little more effort than when creating a bed, and will also require some welding work.

Step 1. The first step is to draw a diagram of the chair and mark all its dimensions on it.

Scheme of the future chair

Step 2. Then, in accordance with the diagram, you need to apply markings to the profile along which the pipes will be cut.

Markings are applied to the profile

Step 3. Next, you need to cut the part from the square section metal profile to the required length. It is important to understand that not all parts will have straight cuts - they may also be beveled. This is necessary to make it easier to join them when assembling the chair frame.

Metal profile cutting

Step 4. Each section must be processed to remove burrs and other defects.

Sections are carefully processed

Step 5. Next you need to carry out welding work and connect the elements of the chair frame into a single structure.

Carrying out welding work

The parts are connected into a single structure

Step 6. Now the welding areas need to be processed so that they are even and do not stick out. A simple grinding with a grinding wheel is sufficient.

Step 7. After this, you need to assemble the back and seat of the chair from two boards of the same size. They can be immediately connected to each other. Or you can attach it to a chair separately.

You will need 2 boards of the same size

Chair back and seat

Step 8. In the metal frame and in the wooden blanks for the back and seat, you need to drill holes of the same diameter, which must coincide with each other when fitting the same seat to the frame.

Step 9. Now you need to sand the wooden elements and varnish them, and the metal frame of the chair needs to be painted. Work cannot be continued until the paint and varnish materials have dried.

Step 10. All that remains is to assemble the elements together, that is, screw the back and seat to the frame. And the chair is ready, you can use it.

Types of headboards

The headboard can be a classic version or an unexpected design find.

You have a podium - then take a piece of a curved board the width of a pedestal and a height of 50-100 cm. Whether to varnish it or leave it in a natural color depends on the surrounding surroundings. Nail it to the wall and your headboard is ready. If the frame is covered with leather or fabric, make the same headboard.

Vertical slats of different or the same height, different or the same tree species, knocked into a single sheet or with gaps - this is just your individual decoration of the sleeping place. You can make photo frames from the same slats or a single piece of wood. Black and white photos are often hung above such a bed, but this is not necessary.

A natural headboard can be a raw brick wall or a rough stone wall. For a hint of style, one such wall is enough.

If the bed is made of a metal frame, then a justified solution would be a metal headboard: tubes with simple bends, a rectangular sheet with imitation rivets or patches.

Like the entire structure, the headboard can be artificially aged, scratched, or peeled off the paint. This completely suits our style. To give an antique atmosphere, you can apply drawings, inscriptions, and symbols symbolizing the 40s of the twentieth century to the headboard.

Step-by-step instructions on how to make a folding stool with your own hands

Do you know that a stool with three legs is much more stable than one with four? There is no secret, a structure of four supports requires a flat surface, and if there are only three supports, then they themselves “look for” where to rest. How to make a three-legged stool with your own hands? Watch the master class. Use a jigsaw to cut out the round seat, then the legs.

Make holes in the seat: using a compass, draw a circle on the bottom of the seat, divide it into three equal parts and determine the points for the holes. The hardest part is drilling the holes at an angle, this requires precision. Alternatively, you can use a block. Drill the holes one by one, resting the seat on the block, then the angle will be the same, the main thing is to point the drill accurately vertically. Then insert the legs and sand the surface. The stool is ready.

Shelves

Rope shelves are a very simple design. All you have to do is sand the pieces of wood, drill holes in them, pass ropes through them and tie knots. The ropes are secured to a rod or special fasteners.

A chain is a great alternative to ropes. All that remains is to select clamps/brackets, threaded rods and nuts.

The most stylish shelves can be made from slab. Buy a beautiful slab from us, cover it with oil and hard wax or varnish, secure the corners and your chic shelf is ready.

Selection of material and tools

Almost all the materials needed to make a folding wooden stool with your own hands were purchased at a building materials store. I had some little things in stock. Total materials obtained:

pine beam 300 x 4 x 2 cm – 1 pc.;
board 234 x 4 x 1 cm – 1 pc.;
screws 4 cm – 16 pcs.;
emery wheels – 2 pcs.;
bolts ø 6 mm, length 4 cm – 10 pcs.;
nuts, washers, groovers (spring washers) - 10 pcs. of each type;
metal tube with internal ø 8 mm, length 195 mm;
piece of reinforcement ø 6 mm, length 31.5 cm.

pine beam 300 x 4 x 2 cm – 1 pc. = 30 rub.;
board 234 x 4 x 1 cm – 1 pc. = 15 rub.;
screws 4 cm – 16 pcs. in stock;
emery wheels – 2 pcs. in stock;
bolts ø 6 mm, length 4 cm – 10 pcs. = 10 rub.;
nuts, washers, groovers (spring washers) - 10 pcs. of each type. = 10 rub.;
metal tube with internal ø 6 mm, length 19.5 cm = 15 rub.;
hairpin ø 6 mm, length 31.5 cm in stock.

Total costs were: 80 rubles.

To make stools in a small home workshop you will need a standard set of carpentry tools for woodworking and some consumables:

hacksaw;
plane;
chisel;
screwdriver;
Phillips screwdriver;
Sander;
jigsaw;
clamps;
square, tape measure, pencil;
manual frezer;
Workbench.

To make the legs and frame of a homemade stool you will need natural wood. For seats you can take plywood, MDF, chipboard. In addition, you will need wood glue, tape and fasteners (screws, self-tapping screws).

Tree

A simple wooden stool will find its place in any home. Some models are quite easy to make. Experts recommend using pine, birch, oak, beech, and walnut. These types of wood are easy to process. It is better to make seats for stools from boards. A solid edged board or ready-made furniture panels will do.

If suitable lumber is not available, chipboard can be used. Making a stool from solid wood is quite expensive, labor-intensive, and therefore impractical. The legs for such models are made of bars. If you wish, you can try to make a product with round legs, which are turned from timber on a lathe. Ready-made balusters are another good option for turned legs for stools.

Plywood

Cutting blanks is a more labor-intensive operation than working with wood. This is due to the fact that the raw material consists of multidirectional fibers and a viscous adhesive layer.
Sheets thicker than 6 mm are best cut with a circular saw.
You need to work with plywood along the grain. If you need to saw the outer layer crosswise, you must first make weakening cuts with a knife, and then finish them with a jigsaw.
Before screwing in the screws, holes of a suitable diameter are drilled.

The thickness of the sheets used depends on the type of product. It ranges from 6.5 to 18 mm. For household carpentry work, as a rule, plywood of the FSF and FK brands is used, and a cheaper option is Sh-1, with one side sanded. It must be taken into account that with a small thickness of the workpieces, the structure must have stiffeners. If you wish, you can make collapsible plywood stools with your own hands.

Cardboard

You can create elegant stools with your own hands from durable cardboard using basic cutting and gluing skills. Such furniture is an original design project for beginners. The product will also come in handy if you need more seating for a party. You can find quite a few interesting stool designs that are easy to replicate at home.

To make cardboard furniture you need a minimum of tools and consumables:

glue;
stationery knife;
scissors;
sandpaper;
scotch;
roulette.

A durable product will be obtained by using three-layer corrugated cardboard. If the thickness is insufficient, you can simply glue the layers together. When joining, it is advisable to change the direction of the stiffeners for greater strength.

Loft style furniture is very easy to make, since you don’t even have to worry about selecting materials. This style is ready to “tolerate” plastic, metal, wood, leather, and all kinds of fabrics. If you think through the design wisely, you can use anything. The main thing is that everything fits together in the end.

Loft style and its features

When making furniture, you don’t have to worry too much about neatness. Of course, you shouldn’t do everything completely carelessly, but you also don’t need to cling to the slightest drawback. Let this flaw become the highlight of a homemade piece of furniture.

Shelves and tables made using metal pipes or metal profiles look great in this style. The wood may be a little old and the fabric may be worn. Barrels, cable reels, pallets, old window glass - something that can be safely used in creating loft furniture. You just need to put in a little effort and these items can turn into real works of art.

Furniture design in loft style

Finishing

Finishing includes sanding surfaces, painting them with stain and varnishing. This will not only give the product an aged look, but will also increase its performance characteristics and resistance to negative factors.

Craftsmen also give the product a finished look using transparent oil with hard wax . This material is applied to wooden elements with a brush or roller.

Important : when applying oil to the ends, its consumption will be significantly greater, and due to the good absorption of wood, it will not be possible to achieve a rich color.

When painting a product with oil, it is worth considering that it gets very dirty. Therefore, we recommend wearing gloves .

Advice : if you like to create unusual furniture, also take a closer look at a cabinet made of cardboard, tables made of glass and pallets, and an epoxy resin tabletop.

Bed made from pallets

Let's look at how you can make a simple bed from pallets that are used for transporting goods. It will cost mere pennies, or even almost free, which will save a lot of money. Moreover, such a bed will look very harmonious. The biggest expense for creating such a bed will most likely be a mattress, which, like it or not, you will have to buy.

Types of pallets

Step 1. The first thing you need to do is purchase the pallets themselves. You can buy them new, paying only 150-200 rubles per unit, or you can even find them for free by asking around in warehouses or trading companies. Often used pallets can be picked up "for pickup".

Finding pallets is not a problem

Step 2. Old pallets usually require drying. If possible, it is better to leave them outside in the sun for a few days so that they dry out a little.

It is advisable to dry the pallets

Step 3. After drying, the pallets need to be sanded and painted or varnished. Sanding can be done with regular sandpaper, but the work will be faster and easier if you use a special machine. You may also need a timber that will be used as a base; it also needs sanding and painting. However, you can simply put one row of pallets on top of another and thus make the bed higher.

Wood preparation

Step 4. Having chosen the place where the bed will stand, you need to lay either the first row of pallets on the floor, or a beam around the perimeter of the bed, creating a base.

Laying the base of the structure

Step 5. Next, you need to lay a row of pallets on top and secure them to the base using self-tapping screws. It is better to use them, since nails will not make it possible to create a monolithic structure - the joints may become loose.

Pallet stacking

Step 6. The next stage is sheathing. Usually only the top side of the pallets is sheathed with some kind of material. You can attach it to the tree using a construction stapler.

Sheathing material is secured with a stapler

Step 7. Then you need to put a mattress on top of the pallets sheathed with material.

The mattress is being laid

Step 8. The final stage is the selection of bed linen and bedspreads. The bed is ready.

Add original decor

A loft doesn't have to be minimalistic. Interesting details, natural fabrics, things with history and art objects will add personality to the interior and make it more “livable”. Decor is also an excellent field for experimentation if you want to bring something new into the environment, but you have not yet decided on radical changes.

Making a loft chair from a metal profile

Creating a folding chair from a sheet of plywood that can be folded into a flat structure occupies the minds of not only ordinary craftsmen, but also designers. Many options have been invented. And yet everyone strives to improve ready-made models. Thus, quite recently, French designer Christian Desile developed a well-known project for an original chair made of plywood, but craftsmen have already come up with their own interpretations of the product.

We invite you to take the opportunity to replenish your set of comfortable furniture. Several of these chairs can easily fit in the trunk of your car to make your picnic enjoyable and comfortable.

Preparing for work

To create your own folding chair, prepare:

A sheet of plywood, the thickness of which is at least 18 mm. This project uses 19.5mm material.
4 regular door hinges. They will attach the folding parts.
Wood screws with a flat head.
Small pieces of leather will serve as an external decorative “cover” for the loops.
Jigsaw.
Drill.
Chisel.
A router with attachments or sandpaper of different grits.

Before starting work, each part diagram is transferred to plywood so that the elements are located one inside the other, as can be seen in the photograph.

Description of work

Using a jigsaw, carefully cut out all three parts along the outlined contour.
In the places where the hinges are attached, according to the size of the fittings, use a chisel to prepare the places for their installation. Part 1 will be attached in the lower front part to the bottom of the “bowl” of part 2. Part 2 is connected with hinges to part 3 at the top on the back side.
Sand the surfaces of the parts, as well as the edges, using a router or sandpaper. To make the finished chair aesthetically pleasing and more comfortable, you can chamfer the edges of the elements.
Place all elements for installing hinges on a flat surface. In order for the chair parts to lay out well, they must not rub against each other. Limit the space between the parts with small pieces of boards or drywall 0.5-0.7 mm thick.
Using a screwdriver and flat-head wood screws, install the metal fasteners in the places prepared for them, with the loop facing inward.
According to the size of the loops, you need to cut 4 blank strips from the leather; they will cover the unaesthetic metal parts.
Use the outer self-tapping screws to attach the leather strips over the furniture hinges.
To prevent parts from becoming loose when folding/unfolding, use a jigsaw to make slits in the bottom of the legs and on the edge of the seat. Then thread the belt through them.

The folding chair is ready. An elegant and compact product will be useful in the kitchen, in the nursery, and on the balcony. You'll definitely want to make a few more of these.

A small homemade stool will be useful not only for those who like to fish. It is so small and compact that it can easily fit in a tourist’s backpack or just for a walk in the park. It is very important to choose the right materials for making a high chair - durable, light and wear-resistant.

The design of the stool is the simplest. It consists of only three elements and does not contain complex joints or hinges. The parameters of the chair proposed in the drawing are designed so that when folded it can be put into a backpack. If you need a larger product, they can be changed.

A piece of plywood 40x30 cm with a thickness of at least 12 mm.
Dense wear-resistant material measuring 30x35 mm. You can use a tarp or a small piece of carpet.
Jigsaw.
Milling cutter or sandpaper.
Scissors.
Wood paint, brush.

You can easily disassemble such a stool and put it with you in a hiking backpack or car, and it won’t take up much space. Even a 2-3 year old child can disassemble and assemble such a chair.

The photo below illustrates all the steps in making this model. Note. that the seat of the stool is held on by magnets, which makes disassembling the chair very quick and easy. The magnet, in turn, sticks to the glue.

This stool is assembled from parts cut from a single piece of plywood.

An unusual addition to a transformable chair, which can be both a stool and a ladder, was invented recently. The back of the transformer stool was replaced with an ironing board and this type of furniture acquired another remarkable quality.

I wonder what else the craftsmen would come up with to complement this chair???

Book rack

To make a rack you will need a square steel pipe, a metal saw, a welding machine and wooden boards. Start by making a drawing of the future rack, calculate the dimensions and height of the shelves you need, then calculate the length of the pipe required to make the frame.

Metal hacksaw SPARTA 300mm

Cut the pipe into pieces of the required length, connect the structure using a welding machine.
Sand down the welds.
Paint the frame with black varnish.
Saw the shelves so that their length protrudes slightly beyond the rack posts, and sand the surface of the wood with sandpaper.
Lightly burn the boards with a blowtorch to create an aged effect, cover with several layers of clear varnish.
Place the shelves on the rack.

The work is finished, you can arrange books and other items.

Types of pallets
Pallet stacking

The mattress is being laid

From the pallets from which we made the bed above, you can make other furniture. These can be large and small tables, sofas, armchairs and much more. Now we’ll look at the option of creating a simple table with metal legs that will look very organic in a loft-style apartment.

Step 1. First you need to prepare. To create such a table, it will be enough to take one pallet, and you will also need to make or buy 4 metal legs of the same height. You will also need a saw, screws, a screwdriver, a brush and varnish. Sandpaper for sanding or a sanding machine will also come in handy.

Preparing everything you need

Step 2. The pallet needs to be partially disassembled. It is very large, and we are making a small table. Therefore, the excess pallet needs to be sawed off, and several boards need to be detached from the remaining piece of the pallet - they will be needed to create supports for the legs.

The pallet is disassembled

All excess is cut off

Step 3. It is recommended to sand all workpieces with sandpaper so that they are not prickly and dangerous. Next, you need to screw along the right and left ends along the board from those pallets disconnected from the rest. You should get flat platforms to which the legs themselves will be attached.

There should be flat areas

Step 4. To attach the legs to the corners, you need to screw metal corners at a short distance from the edge.

Screwed metal corners

Step 5. The free spaces between the boards on the “front” side of the table need to be filled with other boards from the rest of the pallet. They can be nailed, or they can be screwed onto self-tapping screws. There should be a solid surface.

All voids are covered with boards

Step 6. Next you need to fix the legs on the back of the table.

Metal legs installed

The table is varnished

Step 7. When the varnish is dry, the table can be used for its intended purpose. Namely, use it as a coffee table, a small dining room table, or put some things in unique shelves.

Locations

Depending on the location, the sleeping place in the loft room can be:

on a podium , which is created from metal structures, solid wood or pallets;
in a niche - the bed can be completely or partially hidden by a screen or false panels, or simply stand in a recess in the wall;
in the attic - to save space in a small room or with an original design, the bed can be placed in a second tier, which can be climbed by stairs;
in the center , being the main element of decor;
under the ceiling on a lift.

Folding stool (or table) design

Before making a stool, you need to think about choosing a model. First of all, furniture for seating without backrests and armrests is classified by area of application. Based on this criterion, stools are:

kitchen (in turn, they are divided into classic four-legged, solid, folding, transformable, step-stools, collapsible, three-legged with a round seat, and so on);
bar (have a high seat and leg support);
tourist (usually folding, made of lightweight, weather-resistant materials);
musical (the design is height adjustable);
children or adults;
gardening;
designer, made in Art Nouveau style.

In addition, they differ in shape, seat softness and design of support elements. Stool seats come in different configurations and degrees of hardness: square, round, wicker, soft and hard. Models, depending on the design, can rest on four or three legs.

Kitchen

Bar

Tourist

Children's

Garden

Designer

Basically, stools are decorated with beautiful carved legs, but you can also come up with something original for the seat. Here's an example - a do-it-yourself wicker stool, cheap and stylish.
