We produce glued and profiled bar with our own hands

Many home masters would like to know about the fact,how to make glued beam with your own hands. Everyone knows that this material is relatively expensive. In addition, it often happens that you only need one bar, you can simply go unprofitable. For example, many owners of private homes arrange from this material, as from a very strong and durable, bearing beams.

It is not too difficult to make a similar beam with your own hands. First of all, it is necessary to prepare tools. You will need:

• hacksaw;
• tools for measurements (ruler and tape measure);
• grinding machine;
• good glue for wood;
• Clamps;
• acetone or other solvent;
• lumber.

In the event that you want to perform gluedcant with your own hands, you need to make sure that all the blanks have been carefully dried. Otherwise, the finished product will fray over time.

So, the first thing you need to do is mark andcut all the components of the future beam. At the same time, the allowances are left about five centimeters. Take a few pieces and put them next to each other so that the annual rings and fibers are directed in opposite directions. Further, in order to make a quality bar with your own hands, it is necessary to assemble it without using glue. In doing so, you will have a great opportunity to correct all possible flaws.

Surfaces, which will be further developedapply the adhesive, must be treated with special means. But first you must thoroughly polish them. For this use a sanding machine and a skin. Further, making a bar with your own hands, you need to clean it from dust using a brush. The resulting smooth and smooth surface is treated for degreasing with a solvent. You can use acetone for this purpose.

Then, to prevent rotting of the material, allbar, including the surface on which the glue will be applied, are wiped with an antibacterial agent. It is worth it inexpensively and you can buy it in any store of building materials. Continuing to produce the beams by hand, the processed parts are thoroughly dried. After that glue is applied to the joints. At this stage it is important to follow all the recommendations given to it in the instructions.

All surfaces are neat, with no gapsgreased with glue. Thus, the finished glued beam gradually gathers. After this work is done, the resulting material is fixed with clamps. After the glue dries out (the time is also specified in the manual), the beam is subjected to final treatment - by grinding with a sanding machine or planer until it gets a beautiful streamline shape characteristic of the factory product.

Profiled bar with your own handseasier. You need to take a regular beam and give it the necessary geometric shape, using any available tools for wood processing. The field of how the required result will be obtained, the cant be treated as thoroughly as possible by the plane and the skin until such time that all its surfaces become perfectly smooth.

The final stage in the manufacture of both glued and profiled beams should be the treatment with a special tool that will increase their resistance to fire.
