Home made divan
Hi all,
I made this divan for my container. It’s made out of 4″ x 2″ timber frame and 3/4″ and 1/2″ MDF boards.
This is how the frame look likes. Two “stretched n” shaped pieces are connected by 4, 1/2″ MDF boards. Top sheet is 3/4″ MDF which actually remaining from my work table project.
3 drawers are just sitting on the floor. Each has wheels fixed to the rear part of the drawer, so they can be easily pulled out.
Finished with wood like sticker.
Not too difficult ha?
Tools used were drill, jigsaw, planer. Most difficult part of this is cutting timber in straight lines. Jigsawing with hand does not help here. Later I made a table saw with my grinder. It looked bit dangerous. I’m planning to make something much better, which I’ll post later.
Hope you enjoyed.

Have you laminated it?
Yes, it is laminated.
When pasting lamination, doesn’t it get rolled backed from the corners?
(just about to make a small cupboard 🙂
I’ve seen (in youtube DIY vids) people using heat-gun to make the folding edges of the lamination more neat.
Most of the time I try not to end the laminating at visible edges. This way, it is a continuous lamination all the way.
I have done another table with rounded edge. I got the end laminated with a heat gun. It’s not ugly, but it can be much better. I’ll try to post it sometime.
