How to make a woodcutter for a fireplace 

Home, comfort, relaxation, romance - usually all this people associate with a fireplace. True today this is not the most optimal way of heating, but no boiler can create a cozy atmosphere in the house. Accessories for the fireplace - firewood, poker, scoop, carrying for firewood - play an equally important aesthetic role. We’ll talk about them, in particular, how to make a woodcutter for a fireplace with your own hands. The metal structure presented here was made by the author in just half an hour.

Rack for firewood  

This stand for firewood Designed for indoor use. Small logs stacked on top of each other in a closed arc part of the rack. The big advantage is that the wood stand can be folded, for example, in the summer when it is not necessary. When folded, it takes up very little space, so it will not clutter up the garage or closet. The bolts can be easily unscrewed using an Allen key (8 hexagon head bolts M5 x 40 mm).

Manufacturing procedure.You need two metal rods 2 meters long (Ø 10 mm).

1. 2 racks were bent using a bending machine, as shown in the figures. Cut off excess material with a saw.
2. Punch holes on the tape with a punch, it is important that your drill does not slip when drilling holes.
3. Drill 5.5 mm drill holes.
4. Clean the metal parts and the color, the author used a black spray Ral 9005 Matte.
5. Hang the grate on a rope or something else to make it easier to paint.
6. Make 4 round wooden handles (Ø 25 mm) with a length of 35 cm. Use a rasp to round the ends of all parts.
7. Now it's time to drill holes to install the racks. For this you need a drill Ø 11 mm.
8. Drill holes for the bolts that will hold the parts together.To do this, use a Ø 4.5 mm drill so that you can then make a screw thread inside the holes.

By connecting the parts together, you will notice that the holes are not as smooth as before because you removed the material. Make them round. Then sand the surface. If you want the bolts to be recessed, use a thick drill to drill 3 mm deep holes on the sides. To make wood carvings, use a screw head drill (M5) in the holes that you made on the sides. The holes were drilled with a smaller size (Ø 4.5 mm) so that the threads inside the hole could be cut.

Now you can use 8 bolts to connect all the parts. (8 recessed hex bolts M5 x 40 mm)

Pipe fire stand 

Presented project - fireplace stand for fireplaceA perfect gift for those who like industrial decor. According to Kirsten Dunn, the author of this project, such a stand, if you have all the necessary materials, can be assembled in just 2 hours. And if you make a small roof using the upper crossbar, even just pulling a tarp, you get a good option outdoor firewood stands. The presence of wheels makes it possible to easily move the rack around the house and, if necessary, roll out onto the street, that is, you will mobile fireplace mantel.

Materials

• boards and bars
• 4 - ½ Black steel pipe 60 cm
• 1 - ½ Black steel pipe 30 cm
• 4 - ½ Black steel pipe 15 cm
• 4 - Turning 90 °
• 2 - ½ "black steel tee
• 4 - Floor flange
• 4 clips (optional)

Tools:

• saw
• roulette
• electric drill
• rags
• disposable gloves

Step 1: Saw wood parts

Cut seven pieces 36 cm long, two parts 51 cm long. And one part 44 cm long.

Step 2: Sand the surfaces of all parts

Step 3: Dry all the parts together, cut as needed to fit all the parts tightly. Here's how you should position the shapes together:

• A segment of 44 cm, this will be the lower support beam in the middle of the five upper parts of 36 cm.
• The four remaining parts (two pieces of 36 cm and two 51 cm) will hold the five upper parts.

Step 4. Using a straight edge, draw a line through the middle of the top five boards. This will be the mark for drilling. Make sure the bottom is under this line.

Step 5: Drill holes

• Begin pre-drilling along the line by making two holes in each board.
• Secure with 2½ in. Screws.
• Turn the boards upside down and place a frame around the middle boards.
• Pre-drill and secure the shorter sides of the frame with four 2½-inch screws.
• Install the longer parts of the frame by pre-drilling a total of nine screw holes in each: two ends of each perpendicular frame element and one in each in the middle of the board. This must be done so that the middle boards do not stagger.

Step 6: Coat with wood oil or varnish, which is more like it.

Step 7: Screw the wheels. This is not necessary if you are not going to move the stand for firewood, just for convenience. The wheels are mounted on the bottom of the rack to do this, turn the stand over, mark the holes for the screws with a pencil. Make sure the wheels are far enough from the sides so that they can rotate freely. Drill a holeTia and tighten the wheels with screws.

Step 8: Prepare the pipes. Water or gas pipes are usually coated with grease, so wear disposable gloves. Remove the plastic caps and any stickers from the pipes. Wipe the pipes with a damp cloth and Barkeeper Friend. Wipe clean pipes with a fresh, damp cloth

.Step 9: Assemble the pipes. Simply connect all pipe parts to turn signals and T-fittings, as well as flanges separately from the wooden base. Scheme in the photo on the right.

Step 10: That's all. It remains to load the rack with firewood and enjoy the new woodcutter for the fireplace.

The cart for firewood 

If you have a wood-burning fireplace, you are likely to perform several actions: pick up firewood in the yard, put it in a wheelbarrow, and drive it into the house. Transfer firewood from a wheelbarrow to an internal rack and already from them throw them into a fireplace. It is very inefficient and constantly annoying. Therefore, half the action can be reduced if you do home do-it-yourself firewood cart. The version of the wood-mounted rack on wheels presented here contains design elements, which makes it presentable enough to put in the living room; so the trolley is used to transport firewood and store them near the fireplace. The stand is made of a square profile and painted “wood-like”. It rolls perfectly and makes the fireplace insertion process much easier.

The design of the firewood cart will depend on the wheelsthat you plan to use. You will also need the following items:

• 5 x 3/4 inches square pipes of 1.2 m
• 1 x 1.2 m square pipe
• 1 x bar 5 x 5 cm long meter
• 4 x 10 cm nails and several five-centimeter

Tools:

• Hacksaw
• Welding machine
• Angle grinder
• Sandpaper
• Hand saw for wood
• Metal plate
• Drill

Step 1: Cut metal parts. In the manufacture of this design will have to do a lot of angular cuts. Most angles are 45 °, with the exception of the base of two arcs that attach to a rectangular frame. The author decided to first assemble the base rectangle and attach the wheels before trying to figure out what angles are needed for the racks. When deciding on the wheels, draw a diagram to determine the angles between the floor (horizontal, like the top of the arch) and the frame (on which the arches will be fastened). Then cut the metal parts according to the dimensions in your drawing.

Step 2: Welding and grinding

Weld four 10 cm nails in the corners of the arch that will hold the wooden handles, as well as two nails in a rectangle near the wheels.

Step 3: Attach wheels

Weld two nuts on each side. Before welding, tighten the bolt so that the holes match.

Step 4: Make wooden pens

Make several identical square pens. Their total length should match the width of the main rectangle (25 cm). Sand and varnish.

Step 5: Assembly

Assembly order is very important:

• Weld a rectangular frame;
• Weld arches and corner nails;
• Drive arches into the grooves at the same time and very carefully. Better ask someone to help to keep your feet on weight. Do not worry if the wooden squares are not completely pressed to the corners, this can be corrected later.
• Roll up the arches on the frame;
• Clamp the stand upside down in a vice to put the upper cross bar in place;
• Tighten the vise until the wooden rods are glued to the two arches, if the crossbeam is too long, loosen the vise, saw off and try again.
• Using a piece of wood and a hammer, gently tap so that the squares are pinched in the corners;
• Weld the cross member into place.

Step 7:Painting  

Before starting to clean and paint metal parts, it is necessary to protect wooden surfaces. The author used the newspaper and masking tape to cover the tree, very carefully covering the gaps around the squares. Use thin sandpaper and then dust off with a damp cloth.Hang the frame to the ceiling, if you can, to get to all surfaces. For painting, the author used black matte paint to hide the welds.

Fireplace stand by the fireplace 

A great option made of wood stands for firewood by the fireplace. It can be easy to modify for various sizes and shapes of hearth. The author made this construction from raw firewood, as they say “from scratch”, but if you don’t have all the necessary tools, you can just buy the necessary size bars, I don’t think it will be very expensive.

I won’t rewrite the detailed instructions, step-by-step photographs are quite enough, but if you are interested, you can read it on the site, the link is under the gallery.

If briefly:

1. First step, cut the necessary details.
2. The second stage is long and tedious: grinding. After all the boards are cut off, it is necessary to sand them from all sides until they become smooth. This process, although long, is necessary. Despite the fact that the rack is designed for firewood, it is necessary that it looks and resembles furniture.
3. Then saw two 30 cm boards at the top of the brackets, round the edges
4. Assemble the frames. Apply glue, squeezing it on the board, then wipe it over the entire surface with your hand (the photo shows how to do this). After the bars are glued, you need to clamp them together. Then glue the two levers on both sides of the curved board, let it dry all night. When dry, smooth the corners. Then fasten with screws. It is advisable to drill the holes in advance so that the part does not suddenly crack.
5. Assembly. Just twist the frames together. Connect the base plates (boards D and E). Again, the holes are best done in advance. Then screw the brackets onto the frames and install the back panel.
6. Painting. To paint or varnish is up to you. High-quality paint with polyurethane will look good, but the glossy coating will quickly wear off from wood, so you can choose a simpler coating.

Now you have a wonderful stand for firewood by the fireplace, which, I hope, will serve you for many years.

Fireplace stand for fireplace 

Such original stand for firewood on the mantelpiece in the shape of a bowl, with two partitions and side drawers. The author developed the stand design completely on his own, although there are similar designs on the Internet that are only made of forged parts. Of course, if you want to do the same do-it-yourself firewood stand, the dimensions will have to be adjusted. The author has a fireplace shelf with a width of 1.5 m and a height of 90 cm, so the stand is respectively 1.40 m wide, 76 cm high and 48 cm deep. Although, if you want to keep the dimensions, it is not necessary to put it on the shelf, there will probably be a place and by the fireplace. The manufacturing process is shown in step-by-step photos. The whole difficulty is to make the right measurements and cut the curved lines. I will not rewrite the instructions here, if you are interested in the idea, you can read it on the site, there is a video of the process. Link under the gallery.

Bag for carrying firewood 

Here is another good option, firewood carrying bag. It is very convenient in the sense that, unlike the above devices, it practically does not take up space, the bag, it is the bag, can be put anywhere. Of course, it’s not enough for a long time, firewood is all the same, but stitching such a thing is not difficult, you can immediately dozens, in reserve.

How to sew a bag for firewoodshown in step-by-step photographs, and although there are sixteen of them, this does not mean that it is difficult to carry. For someone who knows how to use a sewing machine, an hour of work.

In general, buy 1.5 meters of dense material, a tarpaulin belt of 3 meters and two blanks for wooden handles.

1. Cut the matter into two. You should get two pieces of 90 and 60 cm.
2. Make pockets for pens by folding the long side and pressing with a hot iron, and then wrap another half centimeter to cover the raw edge. Sew closer to the inner edge of the hem, remembering to stick at the beginning and end to fix the stitch.
3. Sew pockets for pens by wrapping blanks with fabric. Then remove the handle and secure the crease.
4. Mark on the material where the belt will be located. Start from the middle, as shown in the figure, so that the seam is at the bottom of the bag. Leave about 15 cm from the top edge to the middle of the handle. If you need a long pen, add a few centimeters.
5. Check that the straps on both sides are sewn evenly, otherwise the bag will be skewed.
6. Sew the fabric starting from the upper side, and then sew the transverse jumper directly below it or over the upper edge seam (to leave the pocket free for the handle). Repeat this for the other side.
7. Sew part of the handle, starting about 3 cm from where you sewed the handle on the bag, and fold the fabric in half inward.
8. Last step, saw off the blanks for pens to the length so that they fit inside the pocket.

Do not worry, if the view is not very aesthetic, it should not be beautiful, but should be convenient! Insert the finished pens and you're done.
