HOW TO MAKE A FOLDING TABLE BENCH WITH VERSATILE STORAGE BOXES (STEEL AND WOOD), STEP BY STEP (2)
Here's a step-by-step guide to making a folding table bench with versatile storage boxes using a combination of steel and wood:
Materials Needed:
Wood:
Plywood or solid wood boards
Wood glue
Screws
Sandpaper
Wood finish/paint
Hinges
Steel:
Steel tubing or angle iron
Steel plates
Welding machine (if welding is required)
Metal primer and paint
Other:
Folding table legs
Measuring tape
Saw (circular saw or table saw)
Drill
Screwdriver
Steps:
1. Design Planning:
Sketch out your design for the folding table bench with storage boxes, including dimensions and placement of the storage boxes and folding legs.
2. Cutting and Assembling the Wood Components:
Measure and cut the plywood or wood boards to create the tabletop, bench seat, and storage box components.
Assemble the storage boxes using wood glue and screws, ensuring they are sturdy and can hold weight.
3. Cutting and Fabricating the Steel Components:
Measure and cut the steel tubing or angle iron to create the frame for the bench and table.
If welding is required, weld the steel components together to form the frame structure for the bench and table.
4. Attaching the Wood and Steel Components:
Attach the wood components (tabletop, bench seat, and storage boxes) to the steel frame using screws.
Ensure the wood components are securely attached to the steel frame to provide stability and support.
5. Adding Folding Table Legs:
Measure and mark the positions for attaching the folding table legs to the underside of the tabletop.
Use screws to securely attach the folding table legs to the tabletop, ensuring they can fold and unfold smoothly.
6. Sanding and Finishing:
Sand all the wood surfaces to smooth out any rough edges and prepare them for finishing.
Apply wood finish or paint to the wood components according to your preference. Let it dry completely.
7. Priming and Painting the Steel Components:
Apply a coat of metal primer to the steel components to prevent rust.
Once the primer is dry, apply a coat of paint in the color of your choice to the steel components. Let it dry completely.
8. Final Touches:
Test the folding mechanism to ensure it works smoothly and the table and bench are stable when unfolded.
Make any necessary adjustments or fixes.
Clean up any excess glue or marks.
Safety Tips:
Wear appropriate safety gear when working with wood and steel, including goggles, gloves, and protective clothing.
Use caution when operating power tools and welding equipment.
Work in a well-ventilated area when painting and finishing materials.
By following these steps carefully, you can create a folding table bench with versatile storage boxes that is both functional and stylish for your space.
