TABLE BAR

TABLE BARThis kind of furniture can be included at equipment a large kitchen, often used as a dining room or stand in the living room, especially if there is a dedicated functional area. Bedside table-bar offered by the Hungarian magazine “Earmaster” successfully combines beautiful appearance, large capacity and ease of use of its content.

 

The structural feature of it is that she’s going out of several independent blocks, grouped in two horizontal oval panels — cover and base (Fig.1). Between them the sides are vertical semi-cylindrical section, the closed semi-circular doors. In the Central part there are three closed sections: two vertical and one horizontal, hinged door which turns into a small table. Between the horizontal and side sections in the Assembly are formed by two open niches, and under it, between the vertical sections — open compartment with shelf.
 
Horizontal panel
 
Cap and base are cut from chipboard with thickness of 19 mm; the width and length they have the same’ respectively, 370 and 1364 mm, the radius of the end curves is 185 mm. Both blanks are carefully processed with sandpaper (especially a rounded one), and if necessary are before final painting.
 
The side sections
 
They are identical, but rather mirror: left and right differ only in the place of fastening of a vertical bar with piano hinge for semicircular doors. The bars are installed along the edge of the rack toward the rear plane of the Cabinet.
 
The main part of the section (Fig. 2) — double rear rack from two panels of chipboard with thickness of 19 mm sizes, respectively, 1000×370 mm and mm. 924×370 Small panel attached to a large indent on the top and bottom for inserts, as well as from the leading edge — taking the thickness of the semicircular closing doors.

Fig. 1. The main elements of the tables bar (A,b — wing, B — the horizontal partition, D,e — vertical section):
 
1 panel-base 2 — side wall of the vertical section (2); 3 — open shelf; 4 — pivot pins (4 PCs.), 5 — large rack side sections (2 PCs); 6 — flip cover-table horizontal section; 7 — horizontal sidewall section (2); 8 — flexible limiter tilting doors (2); 9 — the cover of the side sections (2 PCs); 10 — panel-cover tables; 11 — magnetic latch (3 PCs); 12 — upper and lower insertion of the side sections; 13 — shelf side sections (2); 14 — door side sections (2); 15 — piano hinge doors side sections (2 PCs); 16 — bar for mounting piano hinges (pine, rail 15×15, 2 PCs), 17 — a small stand of the side sections

 
Insertion — two. top and bottom (see Fig. 1,3). They also are cut from chipboard or thick Board: two circles with diameters of 370 mm and 332 mm, sawn in half, will give the required pair of workpieces. Another circle with a diameter of 332 mm will go to the construction of the interior shelves, attached to a small stand on a plug-in round thorns. One corner of the shelves cuts to gain brick-support piano hinges installed on the rear edge of the small stand between the inserts. The loop is of semicircular plastic or plywood door (in a place), formed by contraction of edges with lengths of cord or braid and careful heat treatment (for example, steam from the spout of the kettle). The desired shape of the doors can be given and a simplified method of taking a sheet (with fixing studs) two additional semi-circular inserts, the same as the internal shelves. In the upper front corner of the door mounted magnetic catch. And the piano hinge door is hung with the help of small fasteners.
 
The middle section
 
All three horizontal and two vertical sections similar to the ordinary kitchen shelves-lockers. Each of them is going on a familiar and already well-established homebrew technology all panels (sides, roof, floor) are connected to plug-in round thorns (nails) and furniture screws; the back panel is hardboard or thin plywood. Doors are hung using the appropriate furniture and accessories (or for easier — with hinges). Only the horizontal sections are added to the flexible (cord, chain) or a special swivel limiters that hold the tilted door in the “table” as well as a magnetic latch, locking it in closed form. Clips, by the way, can be in doors vertical sections, when you apply the piano hinge.

1 — panel-cover tables, 2 — front side section, 3 — piano hinge doors; 4 — bar for mounting piano hinges; 5 — panel base tables; 6 — door after formation with tightening belts and heat treatment; 7 — tape

 
All the sections are installed in the Assembly with pins: vertical connected thus with the panel-base, and to them there is a horizontal section. Then, also on the nails to fasten the panel cover.
 
It remains to be determined on the reference pins open shelf between the vertical sections — and all elements of the bar would be in the collection.
 
Finish
 
As for making tables bar was used for such a “modest” material, like chipboard, the surface of which does not have its winning texture, as different boards or plywood, then finish furniture Polish (even dark) is eliminated.
 
It is best to use enamel paints, selecting a color in accordance with the environment. In this middle section, for example, can be coordinated with other nearby furniture, and the side, on the contrary, to contrast with her coloring. For the latest in any case be more effective to use white or cream enamel, “ivory”, as well as for panels of the cap tables and its grounds.

1 — seat, 2 — panel base cabinets; 3 — base side sections; 4 — insert; 5 — drill in the role of drill; 6 — furniture (elongate) the screw

 
Can all the elements of the tables bar painted one color and only the doors of the middle sections — the other Way, their planes will ennoble (“antique”) invoice frame of thin plates of type of container, pasted or nailed with small nails (without the cap) and then painted along with the doors, or separate from other paint — then visible inside the frame in the plane of the door will look like a panel.
 
It is clear that prior to application all surfaces should be thoroughly sanded with sandpaper, and then as processed and after applying the first coat of paint, well dried, and all subsequent layers.
 
Decoration can serve as decorative handles of the doors of the middle sections: on sale now a lot of beautiful in form, made of yellow metal, polished or Matt.
