Doors carved for a bath will perfectly decorate any construction and will single out among the rest. Today we will tell how to make carved doors to the bathhouse and what to look for.

You will have the opportunity to view photos and choose the desired design. The price of wood is not that high, and if you do the work yourself, then this will significantly reduce the cost of all the work.

Requirements for doors in the bath

The carved door for the bath should meet certain requirements and should be taken into account even before the start of the work. This is all you can see on the video.

 So:

• When choosing a door, remember that it should open outwards.This is a mandatory requirement;
• Hinge fastening (see. Hinges for doors: their types and rules of choice) should be provided from the outsidethen you can just avoid the burn;
• Pay attention to the box, it should be strong enough and reliable;
• Use hardwood floss for making. If you choose a coniferous, then when heated, resin can stand out and you just get hurt;
• Do not use in the construction of locks;
• Wood should be selected for pens too;
• Doors to the bath carved make a little smallerwe should save heat. Calculate this in advance.

Caution: When making a connection, never leave the fastener on the outside. It is done with indulgence. After doing this, the piece is puttied and polished.

Work Tips

If you have undertaken such work, then you already have a clue how it is done. It should only follow some rules. After all, this is not just wood carving.

The design will be in a wet environment:

• At the first stage, the figure should be properly distributed. Not only the appearance, but also the practical side depends on the correct location of the fiber of the tree.
• From this will directly depend on the durability of the structure. It is just that moisture can accumulate in the grooves and this will negatively affect the entire canvas. Therefore, if the elements are narrow and long, then they should be made along the fiber;

Caution: Pick up the wood to do the job. Its humidity should not exceed 12 percent. Then she does not crack. Avoid the presence of knots, you can only allow live and then in small quantities. They saturate moisture and fall out.

Completing of the work

Now the instructions for performing the work will be offered. All the work is done by hand so this will be a guarantee of quality.

For the bath, the carved door is completely rarely done, for the most part, individual elements are made, we will tell about their manufacture below.

 So:

• For a start, drawing is made in full size. For this it is best to apply it on tracing paper. We draw in full size;
• Transfer the pattern to the wood plane. To do this, use a copy paper;
• For cutting parts used jigsaw. It is best to use a file with a narrow blade and a large tooth divorce;

Note: Before starting the finishing work is to pick up the file. From this will depend on the purity of the seam. Make millet checkers on wood waste.

• When executing the outer contour of the pattern, we make a run through the outer edge of the blank;
• While working, you will need to turn the saw, this is done in two versions. In the first, you will need to reach the turning point and make several cuts in the direction of the turning point, the direction of their cutting is chosen so that when you reach the point you make a turn without any problems. In the second embodiment, this is done by cutting through a larger radius and subsequently with its decrease. Here everyone chooses what is more convenient in each individual case;

Attention: New jigsaws can make a cut at different angles. It is 90 and 45 degrees. Use this opportunity. Then you can make quite voluminous compositions.

• If you want to make a closed figure, then you need to make holes in the middle of the element that will be deleted. The hole diameter must be slightly larger than the width of the jigsaw blade so that it can move freely. After that we rest the jigsaw at an angle of 90 degrees to the workpiece, after that we turn on the jigsaw and carefully cut it.

After the manufacture of individual elements, they are simply glued to the surface of the wooden door. For this, glue is applied on wood. After fixing it is necessary to putty the joint and make a polish.
