What can be done from the remnants of the dpk board. Edged timber and its role in civil engineering What can be made from 3 boards

All photos from the article

After completion of construction and finishing works there is a lot of waste lumber left. Throwing away these pieces of boards is a pity. Therefore, a logical question arises, are there any crafts from scrap boards that you can assemble with your own hands using a simple woodworking tool?

It turns out that if you show imagination, you can come up with a lot of useful things that can be assembled from seemingly unnecessary waste. In this article, we will look at a number of examples, according to which you can apply sawn timber trimmings with obvious benefits.

Waste lumber is an excellent material for various crafts

Ideas for using waste lumber

Let's consider what products from scraps of boards can be made in your free time.

The list of crafts that we will discuss next includes the following categories:

  • a country stool is a necessary thing in everyday life that you can not buy, but make from improvised means;
  • an armchair that will serve not only as a comfortable element of the surroundings, but will also become an interior decoration;
  • lamp shade, which will look natural in the interior of the house,;
  • Christmas tree, which will come in handy on the eve of the winter holidays.

Of course, the list of crafts is not complete, so you can add your ideas to the ideas already suggested by leaving a comment on this article.

Stool assembly

To assemble the stool we need:

  • trimming boards 60 cm long and at least 2 cm thick;
  • self-tapping screws for assembling all parts together;
  • paintwork materials for finishing finished product.

Of the tools you will need:

  • wood saw;
  • screwdriver with drill function;
  • sandpaper to align the cut line;
  • brush;
  • container for mixing paints and varnishes.

The manufacturing instructions are as follows:

  • we cut blanks for the seat from two boards;
  • we prepare 4 blanks for the legs;
  • in the lower part of the blanks for the legs we make an oblique cut, as shown in the photo;
  • we connect the blanks for the legs together with self-tapping screws, so that the cut corners are with inside constructions;
  • on top of the legs we attach the seat;
  • ready product sanding with sandpaper to remove splinters and bumps from the ends.

Important: When tightening the screws, we sink their heads so that they are flush with the surface of the lumber used.

As a result, we know how to make a simple and nevertheless reliable stool within half an hour, which will be an excellent addition to a homemade set. country furniture.

In order for the finished stool to last as long as possible, after assembly it should be covered with a layer of varnish or paint. As a result, if you accidentally forget your own outdoor furniture, there will be no particular harm to it.

Chair assembly

Do you dream of designer furniture, but the high price stops you from buying it? It turns out that a designer chair that can decorate any interior can be made with your own hands and the material costs will be very small.

So, in the photo is a chair, the price of which can be several hundred dollars. Meanwhile, it is enough to connect the fantasy and it will become clear that everyone can make such an element of the entourage.

What is required to assemble a similar chair?

  • A large number of small boards that can be chopped from waste construction lumber;
  • The frame of an old chair, which will not be a pity to donate in the name of creativity;
  • Glue for working with wood.

We make small boards for finishing the chair as follows:

  • we put a piece of the board on the edge at the site of the transverse cut;
  • with precise blows of the ax we break off chips about 1 cm thick.

The frame of an old chair is the basis for creativity

It is clear that the chips will not be of the same thickness, but this is not important, since the finished chair will have to be pasted over with many such details and the difference in their thickness will not be evident.

As glue, you can use compounds designed for working with wood. But the disadvantage of such compositions is that they dry for a long time. And besides, you will have to ensure a strong clamping of the slats for the entire time required for drying.

Given the number of details, it will not be easy to fulfill this condition. Therefore, we recommend using two-component compositions based on epoxy resins and a hardener as an adhesive. Such compositions dry quickly, as a result of which it will be easy to assemble the chair.

Assembly instructions are simple. The frame used is checked for strength and, if necessary, strengthened.

A finished chair is desirable. As a result, the craft will look great and at the same time last a long time.

We collect the lampshade

If there are a lot of unnecessary wooden planks, you can make a lampshade about the same as in the photo.

Manufacturing instructions as follows:

  • from the bars we assemble the base of the lampshade in the form of a ring or hexagon;
  • on the outer side of the base, we fasten the strips with self-tapping screws, which will obscure the light from the lamp, creating a more comfortable darkened lighting;
  • if indoors wooden ceiling, homemade design fasten directly on it around the lamp;
  • for aesthetic appeal, we grind the finished product with sandpaper and cover it with a layer of carpentry varnish.

Important: Given the proximity of the hot lamp, inner surface the lampshade is not varnished.

Christmas tree assembly

Maybe such a Christmas tree will be outwardly unsightly, but there is no doubt that it will be original.

The manufacturing instructions are simple. On a long board with an equal interval we fasten planks with a constantly increasing length. These planks will symbolize the branches of the Christmas tree, and therefore they will need to be properly painted and decorated.

Conclusion

So, we have brought to your attention a few more or less original ideas about what can be done with unwanted lumber. You will find more interesting things by watching the video in this article.

If you have your own equally original experience in making wood crafts, share your ideas by leaving comments.

greetings to all brain artisans! We worked with lumber and there were scraps left, but is it a pity to throw them away? Or are the pallets gathering dust uselessly in the workshop? Then read this brainguide how do it yourself make a table out of scrap wood.

Table- homemade described in this master class is 245x76cm in size and the amount of materials described below is selected for these dimensions.

Step 1: Materials

Pallets or cutting boards
plywood 245x76 and 1.5 cm thick
timber 5x5cm for framing the tabletop, about 680cm
wood glue
nails
gearbox for drill - a device that allows you to drill holes at an angle
self-tapping screws 3.3 cm and decorative plugs for them
self-tapping screws 6.25cm and 2cm
epoxy resin, about 6 liters - but it depends on the desired layer thickness
oilcloth
mixing bowl, stirring sticks
masking tape
metal profile 50x50mm, about 9m
metal strip 50mm, about 1.2m
metal pipe with a diameter of 5cm, about 5m
metal spray paint

Step 2: Material preparation


We start with sorting lumber and selecting the right brainboard, or from parsing pallets. I collected the pallets I had and chose different textures and colors.

So, we disassemble the pallets, select the boards, remove nails, staples, etc. from them, which can damage the tool when processing the boards.

Step 3: Cut to size


We cut the selected boards into boards of equal width, the length does not matter. I cut my boards 4 cm wide. The length is not important because when gluing we will lay out the boards, filling the space on the countertop, one after another and simply cut off the excess.

Step 4: Plywood Base


Cut plywood sheet the right size table and gradually glue the prepared boards to it. We try to alternate the color and length of the boards so that the pattern crafts became more interesting.

I first smeared the board with glue, applied it in the chosen place, pressed it with a clamp and nailed it with finishing nails so that it would be held by them while the glue was drying.

Step 5: Frame around the perimeter


After the boards are glued and cut around the perimeter brain crafts, along this very perimeter we mount a frame made of timber, which is greater in height than the glued boards. This frame will serve as the sides when pouring epoxy.

For the frame, we take a bar 50x50cm, cut it to the size of the table, cut the ends at an angle of 45 degrees and connect them into a frame. To connect the beam and plywood base turned out to be better, I used a gearbox for a drill, which I attached to plywood and drilled holes for self-tapping screws on it. And then he simply applied the beam of the frame and fastened it with self-tapping screws through the drilled holes, then filled the holes themselves with putty for wood and cleaned them, so they became invisible. I installed plugs on the screws in the corners of the frame, and then also putty.

Step 6: Table Legs


The tabletop is assembled, so let's move on to the supports, that is, the legs. There are many options for creating table legs, I decided to weld them from a metal profile.

First of all, we determine the dimensions medulla, I decided that mine would be 180x60x30cm. Next, cut the profile to size and proceed to welding.

First, we weld the profile with the letter “U”, then we weld the strips to the ends, we make two such elements. Then we combine these elements with a profile into a support, and strengthen its spans metal pipes. We clean the welds and paint the entire support homemade metal paint.

Step 7: Attaching the Table Top


Before mounting the table top on the support, holes for fasteners must be drilled in the support itself. To do this, along the perimeter of the support, we drill holes for self-tapping screws in it, and we also countersink the holes in the support strips to drown the heads of the screws.

Next, turn the tabletop over and put it on the floor, back side up. We mark on it the place of attachment of the support so that it is brain center. We install the support, also upside down, and fasten it to the countertop with screws.

Step 8: Pouring Resin


We bring the table into working condition, that is, turn it over and put it on a support, and then proceed to the crucial step - pouring epoxy resin.

We spread oilcloth on the floor under the table, as you can stain the floor itself. To avoid resin leaks, seal seams, cracks, holes, etc. with masking tape. Cooking according to instructions epoxy resin and, observing TB, fill the countertop. It is desirable that the room where the pouring is carried out is warm, ventilated and well lit, and the table is on a flat surface. This important points to get perfect smooth surface table.

When pouring, fill in all voids and corners of the tabletop, and do not pour in large layers, more than 6mm, let each layer cure for about 6 hours. Thoroughly mix the epoxy, pour slowly to avoid air bubbles, if they do form, then “drive” them with a burner.

After the resin base layer has completely cured, remove the masking tape and fill in the finishing layer, which will turn the countertop into a seamless monolith. After the finish layer has hardened, we clean and polish the smudges that could have formed on the sides and on the bottom surface crafts.

Step 9: Enjoy Your Creation!


Homemade from recycled materials is ready, we rejoice in the fruits of our waste-free brain-building!

Country construction, repair and decoration are processes that take a lot of free time and finances, and when, after completing useful deeds, you notice a lot of remnants of various materials, it becomes a little insulting for the money spent. But we will not be upset, because all the leftovers can be used with benefit, it is not necessary to throw them away ..

Never rush to throw away construction debris and leftover building materials. Everything that was not included in the main work can still be useful for giving.

Drywall crafts

A truly versatile material can also come in handy in the form of scraps and broken pieces.

From drywall, you can do the following:

  • Small vases for dry bouquets, one has only to cut the plasterboard into even pieces and fold it into shape using the mounting profile;
  • Various geometric figures for room decor country house, gazebos and patios;
  • Is there enough interesting solutions and for miniature pieces of furniture in the nursery. For example, the same shelves, racks, different decor.

If you can’t use drywall anymore, give it to the kids, because with any piece of damaged material you can simply draw on asphalt or slabs, using the material as chalk.

What can be made from pieces of tin

This material very practical, because it, like pieces of stainless steel, can be bent into any shape. This makes it possible to create the most unusual crafts for giving.

  • First of all, this original lamps, which, with the help of scissors for metal or a grinder, acquire bizarre shapes;
  • Also, from a similar material, thin steel or tin scraps, you can make small country bins and ashtrays;
  • If the pieces are large, they can make good containers for flowers, even hanging ones;
  • You can also use stainless steel and thin steel for more useful things, for example, put patches on cracked linoleum, connect the joints of the floor covering with strips of tin country house, make clamps for bolts and nuts, cut washers, tighten with pieces of material wooden buildings and fences, install them as a lining when tying large tree branches so that their bark is not crippled with a rope.

Useful use of leftovers and scraps of boards

Almost anything can be made from wood, within reasonable limits, of course. Naturally, we are talking about garbage residues, because from solid lumber we already create many useful things in the country.

  • So, if a thin rail remains, it can go to the boxes, as, in principle, a small-sized board with a bar;
  • trimmings furniture panels, for example, from a press, will be excellent containers for vertical gardening;
  • Larger boards can be sanded and cut into kitchen utensils - planks for cutting and cutting, coasters for hot;
  • Naturally, if there are materials good quality, they will always fit for country furniture - shelves and racks, small stools and chairs, shoe stands, etc.;
  • It is worth noting that sawdust also brings benefits in the country, but all our readers know this very well.

A lot of interesting things can be made from wood, and therefore you should not throw away any of its remains.

If among the readers there are masters of wood carving, they will find another original use for all materials!

Useful scraps of OSB boards and plywood

Construction debris obtained from these materials will be a godsend for people with imagination.

But whatever you come up with, we also have ideas:

  • Birdhouse and - the first thing that comes to mind!
  • Further, and even for animals, where the material will serve as the base of the roof;
  • OSB and plywood scraps can turn into pretty good boxes for storing food and non-food products, a variety of bulk;
  • An interesting idea is the use of pieces of plywood and slabs to create formwork in the construction of small architectural forms;
  • Such garbage can also participate in the production of country furniture, along with lumber, which was discussed above;
  • If a jigsaw is available, you can always cut original garden figures or their fragments from the remnants of materials.

Using old polyethylene

Besides, old film you can cover anything you like ... the same heaps of sand for construction, stacks of bricks or decorative tiles for furnishing a cottage, bulk materials, feed. One has only to fold it several times, and even the old and shabby polyethylene film will be a good protection against moisture.

Excellent will find application She and in capital building. The film can cover foundations and only flooded areas so that the concrete does not dry out and crack in the sun.

In the issue with the film, we have moved a little away from the main topic of crafts and the remains of building materials, but now we are returning to it.

Foamed insulation: using scraps in the country

Most often, such materials are applicable before the New Year holidays, since snowflakes and stars of various shapes can be easily cut from them. But often they can be used for standard room decoration.

One side of such material is foil or coated with a reflective material. I mean, she's shiny. This makes it possible to create bright figures that will transfer sun glare to walls, floors and ceilings. Such crafts look especially interesting in limbo, on a fishing line or thread.

Most often, all work on thermal insulation, where such materials are used, occurs with insulation foiled on one side. But if you want the object to be double sided, you can cut out two mirrored shapes and glue them together. reverse side. Then the star, snowflake or figurine will shine on both sides.

Savvy summer residents also find many other uses for penofol, for example, they additionally insulate greenhouses on the sides, make small portable refrigerators with their own hands, simply sewing the material inside onto the walls of a small box. But the most fun use is the sewing of children's costumes and their various elements from the material.

DIY crafts for giving (video)

Remains of plastic, polycarbonate, acrylic

  • First of all, various flashlights come to mind. We have studied with you a lot of lighting options for the garden and the dacha area, and therefore it will be easy for you to come up with lanterns and lamps made of plastic and polycarbonate, especially if the trimmings of the materials are colored;
  • Colored plastic and polycarbonate with shades in the decor of the fence look very good. Somehow we have already raised a similar topic and even showed you photos of similar fence decorations;
  • Small scraps of acrylic can be used to make boxes and chests that can perform both decorative and household functions;
  • In addition, these materials can fully participate in the production of garden figures. Combining wood, steel, plastic and other materials, you can make garden gnomes, fairy-tale castles, and various animals with your own hands.

Remains and brick fight

We use construction waste of a similar plan as a filling of the territory and materials for leveling pits. But today we propose to think about more useful structures.

  • These can be the same fabulous castles of a decorative nature, located in the garden, in which the brick will act as a base;
  • In addition, small lamp columns can be built from bricks;
  • The building material will also be used in the production of heavier and capital furniture, for example, as a base for benches or even under a table in a new gazebo.

What to do with PVC plastic panels

Sheathing walls and ceilings, various buildings from the outside and from the inside with plastic are quite popular processes for ennobling summer cottages. But, in view of the low cost of the material, or for reasons of incorrect calculation, we often buy PVC panels with a margin. Then, when the material remains, we think for a long time where it can still come in handy.

We have previously mentioned certain options, but there are more interesting ideas:

  • A miniature fence made of PVC panels will last for several years until the material deteriorates due to the influence of atmospheric phenomena;
  • Excellent material for demarcation garden beds, flower beds. It turns out a multi-colored and very colorful decor;
  • If we return to country crafts, then plastic can become the roof of small garden buildings, be used as gutters for collecting rainwater, even represent simple, but quite attractive shutters for the windows of a country house, if you combine panels with wooden beams.

Bulk mixtures and the use of their residues

It can be either a few scoops in a bag, or a whole bag of material. Naturally, such material will not disappear in the country - grease, repair cracks, repair garden paths And so on.

But you can use mixtures in decorative purposes, for a wide variety of crafts.

  • We have already talked about how to produce decorative blocks for walls with the simplest, even home-made forms;
  • Also, they told you how to make a cement drinker, quickly and quite simply;
  • But you can turn on your imagination, pick up special molds and pour out whole figures for the garden, which can easily last up to ten years even under the worst conditions on the street. It is only necessary to process the finished crafts with protective paints, which will give a brighter look.

Remains of ceramic tiles and mosaics

They say that materials of this kind in the country are indispensable, but mainly in economic terms.

  • The rest of the tile can be used to trim the basement of the house to protect it from external influences;
  • The same material can cover a new blind area;
  • If there are very few tiles, and it represents a battle, then it, like a mosaic, should be moved to the garden. Here, with pieces of multi-colored, glossy and with various patterns of material, you can decorate garden figures. For example, you are making a garden gnome ... so now it is not necessary to paint it, you can decorate it with tile pieces. The turtle from the leftover cement in the garden will receive an exclusive shell in the same way. Tile or mosaic will serve as an unsurpassed finish and a small ornamental pond in the country.

We have hundreds more tips in our arsenal, but we just can't put them all in one article. We have mentioned almost all the popular materials used in the country, and now you just have to focus on the fact that not everything should be immediately thrown into the trash, because any piece or scrap can be useful.

Crafts from building materials and beneficial use construction debris - the topics are interesting and popular. Thousands of summer residents across the country every day come up with unthinkable decor from metal and wood, remnants of foam and paint, polyethylene scraps and dry mixes. So why don't we give it a try? We are sure that with our experience crafts will turn out no worse!

Recycling wood hard rock , you can save a lot. Take a look around and you can't help but notice recyclable wood. However, be prepared to give up your ego and roll up your sleeves.

To be eligible to reuse this valuable material, you will soon have to ask favors from strangers, rummage through places that are hardly clean, and work hard.

Slow down near construction sites

Do not drive past buildings under renovation or demolition. If you do not intervene, most likely the materials will go straight to the construction waste dump. Find the site supervisor or building owner and politely ask permission to take some of the material. The older the building being refurbished or demolished, the more likely you are to come across excellent seasoned wood with a fine texture.

Valuable finds: wooden floors hardwood, wide plinths, massive doors of residential buildings, wooden beams administrative buildings.

Avoid: houses built in the last 60-70 years; standardized Construction Materials, which the growth of housing construction required, is of little use for carpentry projects.

Old barn - new life

The gold mine of old barns

Wooden sheds are another promising source of recycled wood.

Valuable finds: classic design with wooden frame with long beams contain a significant amount of straight-grained wood.

Avoid: wood with signs of damage by carpenter beetles or termites; these insects can easily spread throughout your lumber yard and throughout your home.

Bargain with merchants

A few minutes spent scrolling through the Yellow Pages will provide you with contact information for many hardwood companies. From furniture shops and veneer manufacturers to door and boat makers, any shop that cuts boards has waste.

Valuable finds: Red tree; this popular material is still often used today in the manufacture of doors, boats and expensive furniture.

Avoid: companies that use resources efficiently; tiny scraps can only replenish your wastebasket.

Don't Ignore Old Furniture

Discarded furniture can be recognized as one of the most underestimated sources of material for carpentry projects. Although old furniture not very similar in shape to boards, this does not mean that it does not have suitable wood. Pay close attention to "garage" sales, where real gems are found. When the trade draws to a close, instead of trying on shoes and shirts, ask if you can borrow shelves. Even without finding suitable material, you can purchase cabinets, shelving or shelves with compartments for your workshop. Finally, if your city is undergoing spring cleaning, go hunting early (perhaps even the previous evening) - the prey can be large.

Valuable finds: wooden countertops, headboards, broken pianos and pews are real treasures for a carpenter.

Avoid: veneered furniture masquerading as solid wood furniture.

The ubiquitous pallets

You can find pallets (pallets) for the transport of goods in almost any company where there is loading platform. However, before you reap the benefits, you will have to pull out a lot of nails and clean the dirt from the pallets. Therefore, be discerning; do not waste time and effort on ordinary pallets from pine boards. Instead, look for hardwoods (after getting management approval, of course). The most severe or expensive goods usually delivered on pallets made of thick oak planks.

Valuable finds: international shipping companies oversized cargo; what is considered common cheap wood in one country may be exotic in other countries.

Avoid: pallets from companies supplying pesticides, fertilizers and other chemicals; their traces can be hazardous to health.

Reducing the size, open up new possibilities

Are your wood supplies running out? So it's time to downsize your products. Explore the scrap bin and make some miniature projects. They will not only serve as a good gift or decorate your home, but will raise questions from curious friends. When you tell them about the project, be sure to include a story about how the material was obtained. After that, get ready to write down phone numbers, as someone will definitely remember an acquaintance of his friend, whose garage is bursting with unnecessary boards.

Valuable finds: acquaintances promising visits to various outbuildings and rich booty.

Avoid: become the most arboreal miser; set a limit on minimum size scraps and free the workshop from everything that is smaller.

How to work with old wood

Unless luck really smiled at you, the wood you managed to get will require a little more work than purchased lumber. You have to be very careful to avoid metal fasteners and dirt that dull the cutting tool. Concentrate on how much money you have saved, and the time spent on the following six procedures will fly by.

1. Don't Forget the Metal

Metal is enemy number one for milling cutters and saw blades. Remove any visible nails and screws from the boards. To find hidden metal fasteners, spend some of the money you save on an inexpensive metal detector or an all-in-one detector. Circle the dangerous areas with chalk and avoid them when sawing.

2. A clean board is a happy board

On the list of things that can dull your tools, dirt comes right next to metal. Scrape loose dirt with a stiff plastic or brass bristled brush. Avoid steel brushes, the use of which may result in the need for repeated metal removal.

3. Bring out the texture

The last step before the cutting tool touches the wood: remove the last layer of dirt or old finishing coating. This isn't the time to stand on ceremony. Get out your belt sander with 80 grit sanding belt and clean the boards quickly. Move the power tool constantly. Belt sanders remove material very quickly and can create a dent in the surface in an instant.

4. Sacrifice the ends by saving saw blade

Porous end cuts collect dirt like a tabloid press. This is especially true for boards taken from old sheds or dragged along the ground, for example, pallets. Saw off the ends of each board a few centimeters. By doing this, you will not only make the fate of your cutting tool easier, but also remove small cracks that are always on old boards.

5. Is it possible to process boards now?

Yes. The time has come to cut the wood and get a usable material out of it. But first, remove an expensive and high-quality saw blade and replace it with a cheap or old one that is not a pity to blunt. Make a straight cut along one of the edges of the board using saw machine or circular saw with guide. Turn the board over and file the second edge parallel to the first, removing just enough material to remove any rot or stains. Before processing old boards on planer and thicknesser machines, also install old knives.

6. Highlight the story

When dealing with family furniture, its origin is almost as important as design features. A reused tree adds its own history to the history of the item. Highlight it by showing off. Rough edges, nail holes, worm marks, and faded finishes can all become design elements of the finished product.

If you want to diversify your leisure somehow, then we advise you, dear friends, to do carpentry. This an exciting activity it will drag you in so much that time will simply slip away imperceptibly, and in that case you will learn how to make all kinds of decorations for your home, cottage, garden and, of course, the yard.

Moreover, at least a dime a dozen improvised materials for creativity, at your disposal are all the old trees that are on your personal plot. Even from nondescript stumps and snags, when you turn on your own imagination, you can create incredible masterpieces of art that will be admired by everyone without exception. So, we strongly recommend that you visit our article, which will provide you with 10 photos of beautiful and interesting DIY wood craft ideas for prepared beginners. They will serve as a vivid example for you and an impetus for your own unusually cool work. Videos from step by step wizard classes will complement and consolidate your acquired knowledge in the field of carpentry.
