A variety of designs are used as decorative flower supports. Sergey from Novocherkasska offers its interesting and fun version.
Gardeners are often used by decorative colors, especially in small areas where there are not very many flower beds. After reading the Internet with options for similar products, I also wanted to do something like that.
To begin with, chose a sample - they became a pretty wooden dog with baskets for flower pots. Then painted the sketch and thought out the details, for each of which was drawn by the template in a natural value. The length of the dog turned about 86 cm, the height is 46 cm. When choosing sizes, I proceeded from the value of available materials. In the construction store bought one staircase 40 mm thick for the torso (its width became the base when choosing the other sizes) and a small whiteboard with a thickness of 16 mm for the rest of the parts. Paws made from an existing board with a thickness of 30 mm. All - out of pine.
Details I cut out with a ribbon saw. I tried to first use the electrolovka, but with sharp reversals on the thick board, it was difficult to keep the corner of the cut regarding the surface. The edges of the blanks processed the cutter. Then polished all the details of the skin.
The construction assembly was made on the wizards ⌀ 6 and 8 mm. So how to use Kashpo gathered on the street, the glue chose moisture-resistant. First of all, the paws attached to the legs, one wader for this is quite enough. For better stability, the paws unfolded a little.
When marking the position of the legs to make sure that the dog does not fall and stands safely, first the design assembled with clamps, and then took turns on one foot and suggested without glue on the seasons. It is so easier to avoid mistakes and distortions. Having placing and checking all the elements, collected the design on the glue.
While glue Cow, I was engaged in making an eye. From a piece of birch cutting, I pulled out the blanks of almost a spherical shape, from which the small segments saw, creating the pads for a dense connection with the head. Fucked each eye on the wanking ⌀ 6 mm.
Now the dog could be painted or covered with varnish to protect against external influences. I had two types of acrylic varnish - transparent and tinted, and I made a spotted dog. First drew more dark spots. Acrylic varnish - thick and wood covers unevenly, but the problem is solved when it is applied in several layers. Since the stains on the head of the dog fall into the eye zone, I put them (eyes) already after painting. The black paint drew the nose, and then finally processed the entire dog with a transparent varnish in 2 layers.
The dog will "walk" along the concrete tile or asphalt on the plot. So that the paws are not womeling, "challenged" the dog in the "shale" - to the soles screwed gaskets from PVC plastic with a thickness of 5 mm. And, as relying on a real dog, put on her collar.
The dog could already be "released", but if you use it as a delivery for colors, you needed another baskets for flower pots. I considered several options - wicker baskets, boxes from boards, buckets. But I decided to make tanks in the form of small boxes, one side of which is blocked by a stakenik.
The side walls and the wall from the side of the body are straight, made of 16 mm thick pine board. And the outdoor is that from the stakenik, is made a little convex. To create such a form, I used pieces of bent elements from a broken Viennese chair. The whole design, in addition to the front wall, was collected on the seeds of ⌀ 6 mm. Front wall stakenik fucked on glue. To the walls of the baskets had a more uniform view, made the sides imitation of the stake. For convenience, made baskets with removable - they hang on the rocker. The finished parts were processed in 2 layers of varnish and brought the wrappers ⌀ 8 mm.
An additional decoration of the whole figure was a chamomile in the dog's teeth. Flower - wooden, leg - covered with a shrink tube three-millionth welding electrode.
Dog is ready. Since all the work did in winter, flowers and grass - while artificial.
