Doll furniture: the chair
Goodbye! What did you do?
Finally I was able to finish my place! Yes, it took a while, but it's finally here. It may not seem like much at first, but I'm glad I did. It's not perfect, but I'm not very smart, so I think I got it right.
In the text on the table, I showed a picture where you see a chair and two sticks. The manufacturing process of the seat is similar to that of the top and bottom of the table. I started drawing patterns on paper and then copied them into the grain box. I think I did 6-8 more or less. So I cut out the pieces and glued them on.
When everything is glued, I adjust the edges.
From the top of the chair, I cut out two round pieces so that the back seats and chair legs are glued together.
Then I cut out wooden pegs for the legs and back of the chair. I tried to do it with a pin, but it left marks on the wood, so I used a small saw. You can see the tracks on the contacts on the right side of the picture.
I measured the height of the foot using the doll as a guide and marked it. Then I shortened the front legs. I had nothing to hold a stick in my hand, so when I saw it, I had to ask the demon god to take it. Don't worry, I didn't cut it next to my table, I took this photo to show the type of saw I use.
Since I wasn't perfect, I nailed the ends of the cutouts.
After that, it's time to put everything in its place. This time I used PVA glue and the result was much better. You can also use PVA glue with a brush, which will give you more precision.
It's time to put the wand back in place. Let's start below. To be honest, I had a really hard time sticking to small pieces because I didn't have a very good pulse.
Well, now it's starting to look like a chair.
The last two parts are very tricky because I have to make sure they get fixed. In fact, when I tried several times to insert the second part, the first part stuck with me...
When the glue is completely dry, you can start painting.
I really like the color I use, Aculux, a Spanish manufacturer of Titan. This hand-painted water-based paint has the same adhesive as water-based enamel and looks very high quality.
And finally, there is a fully painted chair here. The color seems a little lighter than I expected, but I'm happy with the result.
When I tried on the doll chair, I noticed that its legs were a little longer. I have to adjust to my next place.
So what do you think? Are there any tips for future work? Have you been working on something?
M.K.
