ottoman

[jonathanscruz68]

i'm building an ottoman or sometimes called footstool,

to compliment the morris chair that i've made,

and to get the most relaxing feel of the morris chair, kailangan daw naka-angat ang paa,
that's why i decided to make a pair of this ottoman...

i'm going to used only the available materials that i have, like the left-over tanguile that i have been lying around, tsaka no more yakal na sa wilcon, naubos ko na ata...
and my left-over foam and fabrics.

here is the start of the build....

cut or milled all the pieces to it's specified dimension ( length, width, thickness )

it's better to have a detailed plan of the project, before starting right up.
a math notebook, comes handy for me...this is where i put the plan of some of my projects.
para putol n lang ng putol....

then started with the mortise, using my mortising jig...

thanks armand,
my feet are looking for something to hang on to, so i decided to build na this footstool, i hope the color of the finish will match the furniture, tanguile ( or white lauan yata yun ) lang kasi ang wood na ginamit ko, puro left-over pa...

:thanks:

[jonathanscruz68]

here' s an update,
after tenoning all the rails and stretchers edges,
champered all the legs edges, wider on the top, small at the bottom.
then smooth sanded all the workpeices.

then it is ready for staining na...

[timber715]

nice work brader, now since this isn't as critical and as big as your other projects, I suggest you try finishing before assembly... you will see how little glue you will be needing since you do not want squeeze out.
Try it brader, its your next move to the next level which I know you have earned....

as you say master timber...

that's the next step i'm planning to do...

you mean ba hanggang top coat ng poly?

ang plano ko kasi, stain , sanding sealer,
then assemble ,
and then apply the poly top coat.

:thanks:

[jonathanscruz68]

here's an update...

i'm into the finishing process na,

taped the tenon with a masking tape, to rid of the finishing materials...

http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/jonathanscruz68/DSC_0857.jpg

then apply the stain, hindi na ako ng wipe off, the wood was so soft, it absorbed the stain all the way...i put 2 coats...

http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/jonathanscruz68/DSC_05492.jpg

then put the sanding sealer...

put the workpieces ( legs ) into a platform, screwed underneath, for easy brushing...

http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/jonathanscruz68/DSC_05562.jpg

http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/jonathanscruz68/DSC_05542.jpg

[jonathanscruz68]

scuffed sanded, with a grit 320 sand paper...

this time i removed again the workpieces out of the platform, for easy sanding...

http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/jonathanscruz68/DSC_05772.jpg

then return it to the platform again...

http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/jonathanscruz68/DSC_0584.jpg

[jonathanscruz68]

master jon, all your poly coats applied by brush even on the chair and sofa?

[Armand]

master jon, all your poly coats applied by brush even on the chair and sofa?

I second this question.

[ryobi]

I second this question.

I third this question:confused: too:bee::ok:

[jonathanscruz68]

yes mga brad...

the one i used for the ottoman is a china bristle...

i used a polyester type brush ( do it best brand--- the best brush i've ever used ) for the chair and the sofa...

mas matipid at relaxing gawin ang brushing.

yung spray-gun ko ( creston ) diko magamit, nag enjoy kasi ako mag-brush...:mop:

matagal lang talaga ang preparation sa finishing.

[JayL]

Magandang brush para sa mga Master Finishing . Basta maalagaan lang sa linis after use tatagal.

Dsiclaimer : Hindi ko pa nasubukan mga ito pero pag brush na ang usapan sa ibang forum laging lumalabas and brand na ito.

[rosy]

HEY bro jon, keep on using the brush for applications, up and down, sideways left to right and back and maybe some circular strokes, great practice yan for wrisk movement, he he he he someday baka blank canvas na ang gagamitan mo na ng brush, alam mo na baka acrylic or oil paintings na rin tinitirada mo, he he he he sabay na tayo. :painting: :barmy::barmy: :cool01:

[jarod]

yes mga brad...

the one i used for the ottoman is a china bristle....

So you mean bro, the leveled top coat finish on your morris chairs are all brushed satin poly?:insomnia:


yes mga brad...Magandang brush para sa mga Master Finishing . Basta maalagaan lang sa linis after use tatagal.

Purdy nga daw maganda bro, mahirap kasi maghanap na tunay ng animal hair lalo na yung mga oc hair. Pero again, it would depend of the coat's base solvent.

[jonathanscruz68]

yes brad rosy, someday , blank canvas na ang nilalagyan ko ng top-coat, hehehe...

tsaka oo nga, why worry me, e nandyan ka naman, papaturo ako sayo ng mga techniques...

thanks bro...

[jonathanscruz68]

yes brad jarod, all are brushed...
it was so tedious, malaki kasi yung project, i have to lay down, squat, crunch, etc, when finishing the morris...
malaking factors yung type of brush we used, and the strokes when applying the finishes.
only the tip of the brush are in contact, when leveling the finishes...
yung hindi ba nagmamadali...

here's the type of brushes i used when finishing the morris...
a polyester ( synthetic ) type of brushes.

http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/jonathanscruz68/DSC_0840.jpg

i don't know about the purdy brand, hope it's available locally...

[jonathanscruz68]

here's an update of the ottoman projects...

it's assembly time...

glued all the side rails, it's good that i have finished first the project, coz glue clean-up is easy...
kulang pa pala ang pipe clamps ko...

buti nalang may f-clamp pa ako to the rescue...

hehehe Ottomanorris na :peace:

ang husay mo talaga OMJ!!!!!!!:idea: (Ottoman Morris Jonathan):victory: hahahah

[jonathanscruz68]

there are still some re-touching to do, like clamp marks, and scratches...

the color didn't match the morris, although same finishes are used...

that's because of the different type of woods used...

inspite of some drawbacks, i'm still happy with the finished products,

i now have a more relaxing days ahead with the footstool, as it is a long weekend...

http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/jonathanscruz68/DSC_06682.jpg

mabuhay !!!

i remember you used the BLO sa Morris chairs, di kaya yun ang naging difference?


also Jonathan, pwede bang walang webbings sa ilalim ng foam at deretsong plywood na lang?

[violaine]

@jonathan,

congrats to you and your swmbo!!!

thanks for documenting everything in the process...especially in the later stages you provided us with decent pictures.

the original Morris furniture's finish is darker than yours but i didnt say it is not equally appealing.. but i will stake my claim that yours is sturdier for making use of one of the hardest local species of wood and that is yakal...you braved to cut them regardless of the consequence to your expensive carbide blades and bits...truly a piece of work to last for ages.

i trust that the wood plans are available from Wood Magazine..Yes! id definitely want to build something like it someday but not in the nearest future.

Now sit back and relax and feel the sense of pride of a true woodworker in you.

:clap::clap::clap:


PS:

i honestly would like to tell you that i am rooting more on the finish you made on the ottomans..perhaps the wood you chose to build them absorbed more stain than the denser yakal...anyway i guess they are just the prototypes? LOL

[JayL]

Negro pala sila Ottoman ..... contrast ... very very nice.

[jonathanscruz68]

i remember you used the BLO sa Morris chairs, di kaya yun ang naging difference?
also Jonathan, pwede bang walang webbings sa ilalim ng foam at deretsong plywood na lang?

yes armand, maybe the blo makes the difference,
but the wood was so soft and lighter, i have to coat it with stain a couple of times.
kaya medyo nag darkened.
and these are left overs, nagtipid ang manong , yun tuloy ang result...
i should have used the same wood...

puede siguro walang webbing if the foam is thick enough like 6" or more...
but the webbing does give extra cushion and support underneath,
and the feel is somewhat softer, kesa plywood ang ilalagay.
i sometimes check the webbing underneath, and found out that the webbing gives a some sort of cushioning to the foam, parang shock absorber.
these webbing really does help, with added comfort...

thanks armand....

V,

Thanks very much, without the swmbo, the upholstery would be a mess, tried doing it alone, hindi ko na itinuloy,
those wrapping and stitches, really should go to the hand of the swmbo...
yes there are plenty of wood plans,
but when you get used to the projects, whats next is making modifications.
sometimes, what i did is change the dimensions,
because some of the plans, does not suit to our sizes.
or like when i did the morris, modified it like doing the sofa...

jayL,

ha ha ha, naluto sa stain....

thanks ...

[timber715]

Nice work brader, the finish did come out very much cleaner. Congrats.... another level to your achievements...
cheers

thanks brad,
but the colored finished didn't match the morris...
actually it is then that i realized that i didn't matched the color...
and V, mention about prototypes,
sometime when you do protos, you end up in regret,
sana pala ganito na ginawa ko, ganon na ginawa ko...:(
anyway, all is done well, and satisfied,
mag relax relax na lang muna, since it's a long weekend...:tv_happy:
more projects to come ...
thanks and mabuhay master timber !!!
