Natural wood and as a building material, and as a material for the manufacture of furniture does not lose its relevance. Unfortunately, there are not many places left on the planet where trees grow, from the trunks of which you can make solid door leaves, countertops or even wide window sills. Such a simple fixture, like wyma, makes it possible to make glued wooden panels with your own hands - blanks for home and garden furniture.
Technology for the production of glued wooden panels
Even if the material (log thickness) allows you to make wide products, their further application raises a number of questions. Things from solid wood are very moody in operation. Those who have done enough work with wood are well aware of what a “propeller board” is.
In order for the wood product from the massif not to deform, the material must be thoroughly dried beforehand and, preferably, kept for at least a month in the room where it will be located. This condition is practically impossible when we are dealing with a door leaf or a window sill - humidity, temperature changes will inevitably lead to deformation of the product.
These disadvantages are deprived of elements from glued massif. Bars are taken from one or different types of wood, are assembled into a single block and glued. In order for wooden blanks to become a single whole, a special device is used - wyma. With your own hands, you can easily assemble a fully functional device.
Simple wime, assembled "on the knee"
Sometimes there are situations that some kind of work needs to be done once. Suppose, it was decided to arrange a table in a gazebo at the dacha from a glued fir massif. Does it make sense to buy expensive factory-made clamps? In such cases, a simple, in a sense, one-time, do-it-yourself wipe is made. Drawings of the device are given below.
In order to glue an array of blanks once, you will need wooden blocks, long screws, a screwdriver, a hacksaw and a carpentry hatchet.
Billets are stacked on a number of transverse bars (timber every 40 ... 45 cm). On both sides of the workpiece, parallel to it, are laid long longitudinal beams (equal in height to the workpiece) and are attached to the cross by screws. From above, again, the upper transverse bars are attached with self-tapping screws. That's the whole do-it-yourself wime.
To compress the workpiece, it remains, as shown in the diagram, to wedge it with specially planed wooden wedges. After the product is ready, the wyme can be disassembled and the material used at its discretion.
Steel profile
But sometimes craftsmen do-it-yourself carp lasses collect no worse than factory ones. Here is one of the options:
The clamping screw is first unscrewed fully. Reiki glued and laid on the bar, starting from the clamping unit. After the workpiece of the array is dialed, it is covered with the upper profile pipe, bolts into one of the pairs of holes (depending on the width of the future array), the response node is fixed.
By rotating the clamping bolt, the workpiece is compressed laterally. The design of the cable is made so that the upper and lower pipes, when tightening the screw, also strongly press against each other, which makes the future workpiece perfectly flat. Such a do-it-yourself vime allows you to make any product - from chopping boards to door leafs.
