Furniture panels are obtained by gluing or splicing lamellas of predetermined sizes. Thin, carefully polished planks are made from ash, beech, maple, oak, pine, or larch.

They are used in the manufacture of wooden structures, steps, stair railings, furniture, interior cladding walls. Their surface is resistant to moisture, it is possible to install in rooms with a high level of humidity, in addition, they are used innovative technologies, which protect the tree from cracking and deformation.

When it is required to assemble furniture panels among themselves, special fastening systems will be required.

Mounting methods

When choosing a method of fixing building products, you should think about two nuances: reliability and aesthetics. Especially when it comes to the production of furniture, stairs or interior decoration walls. Modern fittings for connecting furniture panels remain almost invisible.

There are several ways to connect furniture boards to each other. Check out four classic types of fasteners that have been used by craftsmen for decades.

1. Confirmates- fastening for furniture boards in the form of a screw with a blunt end and a fairly wide thread. Threading is done when screwing in, the outer cap is closed with a decorative cap. Allows disassembly working structure without loss of bonding properties.
2. Dowels- tested fastening of furniture boards with each other with high level reliability. Made of wood, cylindrical in shape. Corrugated side faces with chamfers are tightly inserted into pre-made holes. For the formation of the strongest connection are used building types glue.
3. Screed- allows you to connect furniture boards at a right angle. Downforce is maintained during the reassembly process. Completely invisible after installation. The use of eccentrics is desirable with the help of construction equipment.
4. self-tapping screws- allow you to quickly, simply and reliably connect two furniture panels. Pre-drilling holes is desirable to avoid cracks and breaks after screwing.

Methods for attaching lumber to the wall

Initially, you need to prepare the material by cutting it to the right sizes. You can use a regular hacksaw or a jigsaw. An imperfect edge can be processed with a milling cutter or masked with a corner. How to fix the furniture board to the wall? The lumber cut to the required parameters is preliminarily "planted" on liquid nails. When they seize, produce additional installation dowel-nails. Aesthetics is guaranteed, because you can easily close the caps with matching caps, and install a decorative plinth around the perimeter.

Joining techniques, that is, how to create strong connections between individual wooden parts in the manufacture of furniture, are essential for the successful design of built-in products. Wall makers use dozens of connection methods, but for furniture construction, you only need a few of the simple connections shown here.

The choice of connection method depends on how the built-in furniture structure will be used and how it should look. For example, a built-in furniture design to display items such as decorative glassware can be made with simple connections end-to-end, and for heavy objects (for example, a multi-volume encyclopedia) - with strong groove joints reinforced with screws. If the appearance of the furniture is important, choose a hidden connection method. For example, a built-in design with cleat joints looks more like a factory one than a butt-to-bar design.

Lap joint

With many built-in furniture constructions, you will need to glue and tighten several joints at the same time. For this job, you need a variety of different clamps. Use wood glue to reinforce all joints. Joints made with nails and screws alone will loosen over time.

Types of furniture connections

Method for gluing furniture

How to make a dovetail joint

1 Measure the profile desired length, then set the miter saw blade at a 45° angle.

2 Clamp the profile in the angle saw, then cut to size. Apply a thin, even layer of wood glue to the beveled edges of the profile.

3 Place the profile sections on wooden structure so that their beveled ends are tightly pressed against each other. Drill through base holes in the profile and in the product and attach the profile with finishing nails.

How to make a butt joint

1 Using a box square, trace the location of the joints on the wood blank. If desired, attach slats along the bottom edge of each joint for reinforcement.

2 Apply wood glue to the surfaces to be joined. When doing this, use a cardboard stick or strip, which ensures an even application of glue.

3 Connect both parts to reinforce each connection, drill the base holes and drive a trim nail or screw into the connections. (A guideline on the blank will help align the nails.)

How to make a groove connection

1 Hold the pieces together and "mark the groove". Insert a straight cutter into the cutter and set it to the desired depth. Typically, the depth of the groove is half the thickness of the wood piece. For example, with a thickness of 3/4 inch, the depth of the grooves should be 1 cm.

2 Pinch the rectangular guide ruler on each side where the grooves will be, so that the edges of the rulers are against the marked lines. Install unnecessary wooden detail the same thickness as the workpiece between the rulers to measure the gap.

3 Cut the groove with two passes of the cutter. On the first pass, firmly press the base of the router bit against one of the straight rails, then make a second pass in the opposite direction, pressing the base of the router bit against the second rail.

4 Apply wood glue to the surfaces to be joined, pull the parts together. Drill pilot holes and screw in screws or drive in finishing nails at a distance of 7.5-10 cm from each other. For screws, countersink the base holes.

How to make a blind connection on spikes using a template

1 Arrange the parts as they should look after joining. Label them A and B as shown above. Flip the pieces as shown below. In this case, the surfaces are connected and look at you. Using the template and an additional clamp, pull the pieces together so that the ends are in line.

2 Insert a brush drill into the drill. If you are studding a 3/4" board, use a 3/8" bit.

To make sure you drill holes to the correct depth, install a stopper.

3 Drill the dowel holes in both pieces through the template hole. For a 3/4" piece, the holes in piece A should be 1.3cm deep and the holes in piece B 3cm deep. Move the template and drill new holes 7.5-10cm apart.

4 Check for proper connection by inserting 1 1/2" knurled spikes into A, then tapping wooden mallet on part B, install it in its place. If the parts do not fit snugly, deepen the dowel holes in part B.

5 Separate the parts and remove the spikes, apply glue to the spikes and insert them into the holes of part B. Apply glue to the surfaces to be joined as well. Attention. When joining melamine-coated particle board, use glue only on the spikes.

6 Assemble the parts by tapping on them with a wooden mallet until the connection "sits" tightly. Remove excess adhesive with a damp cloth.

How to Make Blind Face Connections Using a Spike Center Marker

1 Mark the connection line on the front side of the workpiece. Using a template, make holes for the studs on the edge of the other part, then insert a stud center marker into each hole.

2 Place the parts edgewise on flat surface, then press them together so that the tips of the markers leave tattoos on the tree.

3 At the marked points, drill holes with a brush drill. For 3/4" thick wood, the holes should be 1.3cm deep. Use a square drill guide with a drill stop. Assemble the spiked part.

How to make through spike joints

1 Pull and glue the parts together, draw a guide line. Using a 4.3 cm deep brush drill bit with a stopper, drill holes in one piece for the studs to fit into the adjacent piece. Place the holes at a distance of 7.5-10 cm from each other.

2 Apply carpenter's glue to the 1 1/2" grooved studs, then insert the studs into the holes. Using a punch, drive the spikes in until they stop.

3 Seal the dowel holes with hardwood plugs coated with adhesive. Let the glue dry, then sand the surface with an emery stone.

Recently, corner joints have become increasingly popular in the manufacture of furniture. board materials with a bevel "on the mustache". In this article, our friend-colleague Sergey Novikov will share the secrets of making such a non-standard bar joint. Unlike a joint with an acute angle, which, firstly, is quite traumatic, and secondly, it is itself prone to chipping and deformation with minimal impact, this option is devoid of the above disadvantages.

So, first, by means of a tire, we saw down the mating edges at an angle of 45 degrees. In principle, this can also be done sawing machine, but a plunge-cut saw with a bar (2 passes) with respect to chipboard gives better results.

So, we get two parts with sharp corners, let's go directly to their connection.

To enhance the strength of the joint, we need a lamellar milling cutter (I think that you can get by with the usual one, but with special devices (so far, only unclear outlines in my head). Such flat furniture dowels (lamellas) are inserted into the grooves selected by the lamellar.

They do not allow the parts to move during the displacement, and also add strength to the final connection, significantly increasing the bonding surface.

We coat the mating surfaces with glue (any PVA-containing adhesives will do).

We connect the parts and clamp with clamps until the glue dries completely. After removing the clamps, glue streaks remain on the corner - they can not be removed, because. later they will fall off on their own.

The next step is ‘this is the smoothing of the corner. It is carried out either with an angle cutter (45 degrees), or cylindrical cutter, but for this, the router must have an angular base.

After cutting the corner, such a trapezoidal profile is obtained. Now our task is to ennoble this corner. You can, of course, just paint it or stick an edge, but the edge will not stick, and when painting it will not be possible to get a neat, even surface.

The cut must be patched. In this case, an automotive putty with fiberglass (which was on hand) is used, but it is better to use more homogeneous mixtures.

Degrease the putty surface. The solution for this should not contain water. We apply the composition with a spatula, rubbing it into the pores and leveling.

After final drying, finally smooth the surface with a sanding block with fine sandpaper. Now let's color it in. Cheap spray paint will work for this.

We glue the edges of the cut with masking tape to protect the surface and cover it with paint 2-3 times. For additional durability and shine, open it with a layer of acrylic varnish.

Modern furniture fittings offers a wide range of furniture fasteners, each of which has its own scope depending on the type of connection and the materials used. In this article, we will analyze in detail the main furniture fasteners that are used to make furniture in professional workshops and home craftsmen.

Furniture dowel

This type of fastening in the modern furniture industry is rarely used as an independent one. It is mainly used only for stiffening in conjunction with eccentric couplers.

Its main function in most cases of building furniture is to prevent the panels from moving relative to each other and to give additional rigidity to the mount.

It is usually used in conjunction with an eccentric coupler. It is made from hard rocks. natural wood, It has cylindrical shape. This is a very simple and cheap part that is used in wooden joints from time immemorial.

Craftsmen and carpentry workshops working with wood use furniture dowel as the main fastener. In this case, the furniture parts are connected to dowels, which are glued to the parts with PVA glue. In this case, together with PVA, the use of any other screeds no longer makes sense.

Screw tie

The screw tie consists of a screw and a barrel. Such a kit is used to fasten the end of one panel to the face of another. For example, for attaching a shelf to a side panel or a headboard to a drawer side.

This is a very strong fastening due to the large tightening stroke. The only drawback of this fastener is the visibility of the screw head with front side panels.

You can, of course, close them with special plugs, but this is also not a panacea. The plugs on the outer panel of the cabinet do not look aesthetically pleasing.

Skills are required to install this type of fastener. Beginners may encounter such a problem as inaccurate alignment of the holes of the barrel with the hole in the end of the shelf, and it is not so easy to pull an unwanted barrel out of its nest.

But the inconvenience during assembly and the aesthetic error is more than offset by the reliability and durability of the connection.

Conical coupler

A conical tie is often used for fastening thick chipboard panels (25 mm, 38 mm) and assembling frame facades on ties.

One of its advantages is the absence of visible hats on the front side of the panels. Unlike the screw in a turnbuckle, the stem used in a conical turnbuckle is screwed into the panel. The screed itself has 2 holes. One is for the stem, which is screwed into the panel layer. The second is for the conical tie screw. The disadvantage of this type of fastener is a small tightening stroke. Under heavy loads, the stem screw holes may loosen over time. Then the screed will simply stop working!

furniture corner

Pretty simple fastener. Easy to install. It does not require any additional holes in the panels for its installation. There are both metal and plastic options.

Enough durable look mounts. Of the shortcomings - it is visible and does not look aesthetically pleasing. But this is the main type of fastening in built-in furniture.

Euroscrew

This fastener is more often used to assemble modules kitchen furniture and in economy class furniture. Just like with a screw tie, euro screw heads or plugs are visible on the front side of the side panel of the cabinet.

It is screwed into the end of the shelf with pre- drilled hole. This screed also belongs to the economy class. To install it, 2 holes are drilled - into the end of the shelf and into the face of the part. They are attached perpendicular to each other. The most commonly used euroscrews are 7 mm in diameter and 50 or 70 mm long.

This screed has 2 significant drawbacks:

Firstly, the outer sidewall of the cabinet, if there are a lot of shelves behind it, as a rule, it is all “mutilated” with hats or euroscrew plugs. Therefore, these fasteners are used in economy furniture. In kitchens, this drawback is hidden thanks to the cabinets standing in a row.

Secondly, furniture assembled on euro screws cannot be disassembled and assembled more than 3 times, since screwing the tie into the end of the shelf destroys its internal structure.

Eccentric coupler

One of the most popular types of fasteners today. All quality furniture it is assembled on an eccentric coupler (minifix). Its principle of operation is as follows: an eccentric rod is screwed into the face of the part to which the other panel will be attached to the end, into which, in turn, the eccentric itself is screwed through the end of the other shelf, and then the eccentric turns the rod into itself.

The eccentric turnbuckle is always used in conjunction with the wooden dowel, which was described earlier. The dowel provides additional rigidity of the assembly, prevents displacement of the fixed panels relative to each other.

Furniture assembled on this screed can be disassembled and reassembled an unlimited number of times! There are different diameters of the eccentric itself 25, 15, 12 mm. The most common is the eccentric with a diameter of 15 mm.

Since the eccentric itself is visible on the side panel, there are plugs for it to match the color of the panel. Among the disadvantages is the weakening of the screed in the event of spontaneous rotation of the eccentric.

To avoid this, some hardware manufacturers have provided notches directed in the opposite direction from its rotation during installation, which enhances grip.

Varieties of eccentric couplers

As practice shows, furniture is assembled and disassembled with great difficulty if all the fasteners in it are metal ties, described above. Suppose, in order to remove one shelf, it is necessary, in practice, to disassemble half the cabinet. For horizontal parts (shelves), it is more convenient to use eccentrics that allow you to place horizontal parts in an already assembled furniture box. Their principle of operation is the same as that of the previously described eccentric coupler. The only difference is that the eccentric, located in the shelf, is mounted on the rod screwed into the face of the sidewall from above and it is not necessary to disassemble half the cabinet for this. In some factories, this type of fastener is called a shelf support, as it is intended only for horizontal parts. Horizontal shelves assembled using these ties additionally tighten the connection, which enhances the rigidity of the entire furniture frame.

There is a wide variety of eccentric-type furniture fasteners on the furniture market, but the principle of operation is the same for everyone. Knowing the principle of operation of one type of eccentric screed, you can easily figure out the rest.
