DIY: FRAMED NICHE

Guys, do you remember that we showed here how to reuse a frame transforming it into a photo mural? Yeah, a nice solution if what you really need is space for photos. Today we are going to show you an idea a little bolder for reusing frames, but very simple and easy to do.

What we found most interesting about this idea is that a simple frame joined to a simple wooden niche has an incredible result. New face for the well-known niches, which we love, and are super useful when decorating any corner.

Materials:

• – 1 frame (can be a portrait frame)
• – 4 wood tops – MDP or MDF 15mm (width and height will vary according to the size of the frame)
• – Wood glue
• – Nails
• – Sandpaper
• – Hammer
• – Wood paint (in whatever color you prefer)

First you will need to measure the span of the frame you are going to use, both width (X) and height (Y). You will need 2 X-tops and 2 Y-tops. You define the depth, but wall niches are usually no more than 20 cm deep. If they are just decorative, 10 cm is enough.

Most people don't have the tools at home to cut wood, so you can measure the frame and have a local woodworker cut the tops for you. As they won't be big pieces, you can even do it with leftover MDP or MDF.

In this step by step, wood glue and nails were used to join the tops and form the niche. In the image you can see that a nail fixing tool was used, a kind of pistol to fix nails, but you can use the good old hammer (for those who are not used to it, be careful not to get hurt). Ah, you can also fix it with screws.

Then just fix the frame in the niche. In this step, wood glue and nails were also used, but I believe that glue alone can be sufficient.

With the framed niche, let's go to the finish. Use spackle or wood putty to correct imperfections and mask nails. After a good sanding, which always contributes to a good finish, and finish by painting with the color of your choice. In this project, the piece was all white, but nothing prevents you from using one color in the niche and another in the frame, use your creativity!

Are you going to say that the niche doesn't look beautiful framed? Make several and with frames of different sizes!

Can I use a nail gun to install a wooden floor?

Nail guns cut down on time and labor by replacing the old "swing-a-hammer" technique with automated nails. You can use certain types of nail guns to install a hardwood floor, but practice on scrap wood first to ensure you master the correct technique. You can use three types of guns on a hardwood floor: a floor nailer, a finish nailer or a floor and mallet nailer. Framing nail guns are not suitable due to the size and configuration of the nail.

The nailing process
End hardwood planks fit end and side by side with a tongue and groove set. After installing the first plank in the corner of a room, each subsequent plank will snap together to form a smooth floor. The edge of the plank's groove faces the wall, and the tongue side faces outward; this is the part where you will insert your nails. The nails you use should have little or no heads so they will sink slightly below the surface of the wood and will not prevent a tight fit when you install the next row of planks. For the first course of planks, a hammer and a set nail may be needed for the face-to-nail.


Nailer flooring
One of the best guns to use to install a hardwood floor is a pneumatic floor nailer or stapler. Made specifically to fit over the top edge of the board and the tongue, this fires a headless nailing nail through the tongue and into the sub-base or floor joist underneath. When positioned correctly, making a mistake with this nailer is difficult.

Finish Nailer
Not everyone keeps a floor nailer around because it only has one use. If you are handy with a nail finish gun, you can use it to install a hardwood floor. A nail finish gun, designed for trim work, shoots an almost headless nail that doesn't mar the wood surface look, which makes an effective finishing nailer for installing hardwood floors as well. To use this nailer, position the nail shoe on the wooden tongue at a 15-degree angle downward and inward, toward the plank. Depress the shoe nails, keeping the nailer carefully in place, and pull the trigger. Use finishing nails that are long enough to run through the subfloor, if any, and at least 1/2 inch to the floor joists.

Floors and Mallet Nailer
Even power nailers became common in the flooring industry, a manual floor nailer and hammer were standard, and it still does a good job today. Like the pneumatic floor nailer, the manual nailer keeps the nails paving and features a nail shoe shaped that fits snugly over the edge of the plank and tongue. After positioning the nailer, tap the cap by nailing it with the mallet to shoot a nail, staple or staple floor through the tongue. Flooring and mallet nailers can use gravity and a spring system to drive the nails, or they can employ compressed air to shoot the nails when you hit the lid by nailing with the mallet.

How do I choose the best floor nail gun?

When trying to choose the best nail gun for floors, it's important to identify the features that are most important to you. Most floor nail gun options are available in both air and fuel operated models. The pneumatic nail gun requires an air compressor as well as air hoses to operate in any job site. The fuel-powered weapon has the advantage of being cordless, however, the initial cost is generally higher than an air-powered weapon. After cost, the most common and important characteristics for many people are the weight, type and style of nails used, as well as other uses to which the weapon can be attributed.

The first thing you need to decide when looking for the best floor nail gun for any job is whether or not you want an air-powered model or a cordless style. The air-powered floor nail gun is almost always cheaper than a wireless gas-operated model; however, you have other considerations that will accompany the air-powered model. Unless you work for a company that has a large air compressor available at each job site, along with a connecting manifold, you will also need an air compressor and multiple air hoses to reach all areas of a job site. of works if you decide to buy an air. motorized nail gun. Furthermore,

When you factor in all the additional expenses associated with an air-powered floor nail gun, you may find that a wireless gas-powered model is much more to your liking. This style of floor nail gun uses an interchangeable fuel cartridge that injects a small amount of fuel into a chamber at the top of the nail. This fuel is ignited by a small electrical charge from a rechargeable battery inside the nail gun. This floor nail gun model uses no hoses or cables and is typically good for firing over 1,000 nails from each replaceable fuel container.

Other considerations that should be made to ensure you are purchasing the best floor nail gun are the style of nails used with the gun, along with other uses for the gun. Most nail guns use a straight nail clip or a large round nail roller. The nail roller will require fewer refills, although it weighs more than the straight nail clip. Also, to get the most for your money, you can choose to purchase a floor nail gun that can be used for other types of nail work as well as flooring.

Fixing the wooden floor

The drilling for the passage of nails and screws must be done with a drill. The hole can be in the surface, in the case of screws only, or in the male insert for nails or screws. In case of installation on beams, the hole must not reach the subfloor. When the floor is installed on joists, the screw must be fixed on the floor surface, provided it is rough as shown in the figure below.

Of the types of screws and nails found, the use of those made with galvanized steel is recommended, as they are more resistant to moisture and consequently to deterioration.

Mixed fixation

Mixed fixing consists of installing the wooden floor using adhesive and nail or adhesive and screw. This system is used when the piece of wood has a very accentuated warpage and is installed directly on the subfloor. In this case, the screw must be used to provide greater security in fixing.

On rough floors, with dimensions from 9.5cm in width and 2.0cm in thickness, glue, screws and 8.0mm dowels must be used, respecting a spacing of 40.0 to 50.0cm between the screws in the male fitting.

On varnished floors that are 9.5cm wide and 1.8cm thick, glue, screws and 6.0mm dowels must be used. In this case, the spacing between the screws is variable, depending on the specific situation of the installation.

For this type of fixation, it is important to emphasize that the dimensions of the floors will define the type of material to be used.
