I recently bought a piano in a thrift shop for a good price, but it came without a bank. "Oh, well," I thought, "I can only chair in a dining room." But, as I have ever met in my plan, I decided to deserve it, that the bench. You can not do too hard, a itself.
Well, the lazy way I know how to learn to make banking a shop floor to go to a home improvement, such as Lowe's or Home Depot and ask theAdministration when planning a construction of a piano bench Workshop "How. You are always doing something for plumbing or electricity for the do-it-yourself, so why not a piano bench?
If your request is accepted, then two possibilities: (1) Take lots of notes and pay attention so you can build your own below or purchase a 'bid for the bank is building the moderator.
If you decide to build your own, you better know what type of wood you want to use you. AnyThe plan is better, and hardwoods like mahogany, walnut shelf life seem to be preferred.
They also want to know the dimensions for your bank. I measured some stores that sell them, and I found that most banks are about 29 inches long, 14 cm wide and 20 cm. Beings you building your own, but you can adjust these measurements to suit your needs. For example, if you have legs longer or shorter, you can adjustthe height of the legs of the bench to place more comfortable at the piano.
Well, I do not know about you, but I do not hold a circular saw in my kitchen. The home improvement stores or lumber yards will be pre-cut wood according to your instructions and everything you need to do, put them together if you come home. They also have more experience in cutting measures more accurate than me. Try to paint a picture of the Bank and the label side, top and bottom withAmount of inches you want. This helps the person to the business to better understand what you are trying to do.
Maybe you want on the various dimensions of the terminal, I ask you, will also be necessary.
When you get home, the pieces lying on the floor and get an idea of how it fits together. Help a picture from a magazine or brochure that the finished product to have to suck now. I know that some retail stores may have designs computer sales staffYour measurements and can print for you.
Once you have the pieces so you can easily see how fit, start by gluing wood together one layer at a time. For example, two long strips and two short stripes on the underside of the larger piece (the seat) are glued wood. This is what you connect the legs at a later date. E 'is blocked as a rectangle on the bottom of the research location.
Once the glue is dry, you can improve your workwith small wood screws. A screwdriver or table knife will do the trick! You can add angle brackets to the four corners of the rectangle to the additional intake. Place it in the corners of the rectangle and glue / screw it.
Now you are ready to add the legs. The legs should be about two inches thick, but again, you are creating, so that you choose. The amount is the choice, but the average is 20 inches. Want to have the people, you have the wood from the holes in one end ofThe legs, then you can screw the rectangle. Whether that will be used for bolts, legs are at least firmly glued to each of the four corners of the rectangle. Want to leave these legs to support your weight so you can set with clips. (The brackets come off after the legs are firmly attached.)
Once the glue is dry and / or wood screws are sure to turn on the bench, so that the bottom of the seat is tall and sit on his lap. Now thathow professional and rectangles in the bank, in building a more on top of the large piece of wood. The height of this rectangle is how much music you plan to keep him and still be able to high jump seat near certain. Tip: Do not forget, this measure to decide how high you want to be your bank, and set the length of the legs included accordingly.
When the glue is dry, even in this case, you can add some wood screws to hold the most-it-together-ness. Add hingesRectangle and attach to your seat up. Voila! They have a piano bench.
But wait! Why not finish top with a two inch piece of foam and cover with a paper towel, that the installation complies with the room? It 's easy, just glue the foam to the top, pull the fabric over it and staple or glue the fabric on the bottom upwards.
Al, what to do to stand and enjoy your job at hand!
