How to make a rattan chair? Craftsman's experience.

The so-called rattan chair is a chair made of rattan, which is quite common in our home environment and office environment. Compared with wood, iron and steel chairs, it can be said that the quality is very light. A small cane chair can be picked up directly by two or three-year-old children. It can be said that rattan chairs also appeared in our lives earlier. I remember when I was a child, there was a rocking bed at home, similar to a chair. People will fall asleep immediately after sitting on it and shaking it a few times. For the elderly, it can be said to be a hypnotic tool. Now there are more and more styles of rattan chairs. How is the rattan chair made? Let's take a look at the experience of craftsmen.

Rattan chair-manufacturing steps

There are eight steps in making rattan chairs: selecting raw materials, grinding, processing, polishing, assembling, weaving, grinding semi-finished products, and finally spraying oil.

1 Selection of raw materials for rattan chairs Although there are more than 600 kinds of rattan, only four kinds of rattan are commonly used for furniture, namely, red rattan, sand rattan and almond rattan. The thickness of almond rattan and sand scorpion is even, which is suitable for rattan skeleton.

2. After the raw materials are selected, preliminary grinding is needed, because there are many thorns on the surface of rattan, and grinding is divided into two steps. First, rough grinding with coarse sand belt until the surface is basically smooth, and then fine grinding with fine sand belt, so that the surface of rattan after two-step grinding will be smoother.

3, processing and production

1. Pedal parts? There are two pedal parts of rattan art, one is the pedal and the other is the support rod, which are formed by bending, cutting and assembling. Bending rattan requires three steps. The first step is to heat the specific part of the rattan with a musket, bend it after heating to a certain extent, and cool it with a high-pressure air-cooled gun after setting. The pedal support rod is sawed with rattan, and then the edge is treated. If the edge of the edge has burrs, polish it to make the edge smoother. When the two parts are finished, they can't be assembled immediately, so they need to be polished, mainly to smooth the scars. After polishing, assemble all parts to complete a complete pedal assembly.

B, rattan handrails? The manufacture of handrails also goes through several links such as bending, cutting and assembly. The specific process is the same as the pedal part. In order to ensure the left and right symmetry of the handrail, there is a specially designed template, which can be put on and compared to know whether the size is appropriate.

C, rattan chair rocking boat? When weaving vines, leave an oblique mouth, so that the flowers can be arranged more tightly and beautifully.

D, cradle flower? It is best to choose Shateng as the dish flower, and also leave an oblique mouth. After the disc is formed, it can be cooled and shaped to get the shape we want.

4. assembly:? That is, all the parts made above are assembled together. If it is not smooth enough, it should be polished first. The assembly is very simple, that is, drilling holes and screwing screws with an electric drill.

Having said so much above, if you still can't remember the rattan chair, you can also know what this chair is by combining the pictures given above. In fact, this kind of chair can be seen everywhere in tea restaurants or cafes when we go out to eat. Compared with leather chairs, rattan chairs are breathable, and compared with new wooden and bamboo chairs, rattan chairs are smooth and will not wear out the fabric of pants. Regarding the manufacturing technology of rattan chairs, the above steps are very good, and I hope everyone can adopt them well.
