Beautiful carved platbands will make your country house not similar to the others. But platbands not only decorate the building and give it completeness. They still hold sun blind. It is the best of all to do platbands of tree though now also synthetic materials are quite often applied.
It is required to you
- - boards 3-4 cm thick;
- - thick plywood;
- - rails 2 and 3 cm thick;
- - baguette;
- - axe;
- - cross hacksaw;
- - hacksaw with small slanting teeths;
- - plane;
- - drill and drills on tree;
- - fret saw;
- - fixture;
- - set of chisels;
- - knife cutting torch.
Instruction
1. Make the device for zapilivaniye of thorns. Take 4 edges of hacksaws with small slanting teeths. One couple has to be with smaller teeths, it you will saw through eyes. Fix couple of identical edges between three rails. Do the same also with the second couple. The distance between smaller edges has to be slightly less, than between elements of other couple. Other tools can be bought in any household or hardware store.
2. Measure window. Platband basis - frame. It has to be such that it was possible to open outside of window at right angle. That is the internal perimeter of frame has to allow shutters to make it. Other parameters can be various. Platbands can be wide and absolutely very narrow, with thread and without, with high kokoshnik and carved sidewalls. Depending on the project choose also board. Its thickness has to be 3-4 cm.
3. The frame in principle can be any design. But it is more convenient to make 2 side parts which height is equal to frame height from added to this measure the doubled cross-piece width, and 2 cross-pieces. Consider that the cross-piece fastens between sidewalls, that is it has to correspond precisely to window width, plus has reserved on fastening. It is better to make sidewalls longer that it was possible to make bottom edges carved. In many villages the long lower parts of sidewalls were called polotenchik. The internal perimeter of frame has to be slightly more external perimeter of window. You should beat some more rails on internal perimeter therefore consider their thickness.
4. Process frame elements. They have to turn out rather smooth though you execute final finishing a bit later. Fasten elements with thorns. It is possible to record thorns glue. In this case it is better for Clay to use synthetic, like epoksidka as it is almost not subject to weather patterns.
5. The kokoshnik can be made in two ways. If you have rather wide board, it can just be cut under the necessary corner. At production of platbands from narrow boards it is better to increase the top level. Use the same board. Missing parts can be fixed by thorns, having put them on glue.
6. From frame opening to the top cross-piece beat rail 2 cm thick. To the lower cross-piece beat rail slightly more widely, about 3 cm. It serves in order that water did not accumulate. Therefore it is necessary to make small bevel in the direction from window to external part. From that party of frame that it will be directed to wall, rails act on distance of sewing of the house. Levels need to be beaten also to sidewalls.
7. After the basis is ready, decorate platbands. Ways of dressing exists much. For example, it is possible to cut out decor elements from thick plywood or from board and to put them on glue. It is the best of all to cut the fret saw. It is the most convenient to do round openings by drill with drills of the different size. Anyway previously make the general drawing of platband and the sketch of each element. In old wooden buildings the thread on polotenchik has something in common with kokoshnik elements. It is possible to issue sidewalls baguette.
