Making a bow

Making a bowBending all kinds of wooden elements in an arch can be a lot of trouble. That is why we often act in a different way. Strip, which we want to bend, We cut on one side. We make many cuts close to each other. Then apply glue in the gaps and bend the strip to the desired arch. After gluing with a file or grinder, we finally shape the desired radius of bending and the sides of such an element are finished by sticking the veneer strips. We also wrap the veneer of both arc edges of the element.

Powels for quick assembly

All kinds of wooden strips and profiles can already be attached to the wall with the help of. expansive pins for shock mounting. These dowels have a special pressure collar, pressing the fastened strip against the wall. Before installing in the planned places, we drill the holes in the strip, and then through them the holes in the wall. To be attached, just slide the stake into the hole through the strip with the stem in it and highly finish with the hammer the stem itself.

Copying shapes

We sometimes want to transfer a fragment of the illustration to enlargement to the disc, for example. cut such a shape. Well, on the selected illustration, we draw a thick network of squares. Mesh similar, but we draw with properly enlarged mesh on the plate. Now the characteristic points of the shape, i.e.. We move the illustration line with the grid lines from the picture to the mesh on the plate. After connecting all these points, we obtain a enlarged shape with continuous lines.

Mapping

Many wooden elements require matching their edges to the curvature of the walls. The edge of the boards or plates must be cut along the exact exact line of the curve. The curvature of the adjacent wall can be reproduced by moving the board to the wall. Then we map the curvature by sliding a wooden block with a stuck pencil on the wall, which on the board will delete the line thoroughly reflecting all curves and unevenness of the side wall surface.

Cutting dowels

In furniture connections for wooden dowels, Their length should be the same, tailored to the depth of the holes, in which they paste them. Powels can be shorter than the depth of the holes, Never longer. Instead of cutting each pin before they are assembled, it is better to shorten the pins slightly longer already pasted into the element. Dowel, and thus the place of cropping can be appointed by applying a wooden slat to each of them and lead the ball flat on its surface.

Hanging baubles

Dressing a Christmas tree with more baubles and other decorations is a rather bothersome activity. Just like removing them. This can be facilitated by attaching baubles to a thin fishing line. Such a rope will be easy, and what is important and quickly hang on the tree. The line will be hardly visible and will not prevent any arrangement of the decorations. The string with baubles will be easily stored in the box for the next world.
