Instruction
Step1: Lasercut templates
Lasercut the required design files.
You will only need to cut the side and the backrest. The other pieces can be cut with any circular saw.
Step2: Use double sided tape and drill holes
Use some double sided tape to tape the template to your 18 mm Multiplex. I used the same Grade 1 Oak as the 2 in 1 learning tower.
Next mark out the templates with a pencil on your workpieces and drill some pilot holes to cut the inside rectangles.
Step3: Cut and route the pieces
Cut all workpieces as close to the pencil line as possible. Both inside and outside edges need to be cut. Use a router to route all the workpieces to the exact size of their template.
Step4: Mark and drill holes
- Mark out the holes with a punch
- Drill 8mm holes, 6mm deep
- Clamp everything together and drill pilot holes for the mounting screws
- Screw them together
Step5: Plug holes and sand everything
Plug the holes with some contrasting wood. I used Wenge plugs as I had them lying around. Flush cut the plugs and sand everything to achieve a perfect finish.
Step6: Finish the pieces
I used some Rubio Monocoat - Cotton white to finish the piece. It's a 2 component finisher. Mix accordingly and simply rub in the oil with a cloth, leave it to rest for 5 minutes and whipe of any excess oil.
