    Ikea Delay

    Posted by Unknown Posted on 11:04 AM with No comments

    Materials: Ordning, Music PCB Echo Base, Heath Glue, Cd Cake box

    Description: First of all, What the hell is the Ikea Delay?
    Well it's a guitar effect built inside a Ordning.

    Instructions
    - Buy the Delay pcb from Music PCB

    - Buy the electronic components and the knobs from Mouser electronics or Musik Ding or Banzai or your usual supplier.

    - Assemble the pcb, I built a "full optional" Echo base with most of the mods suggested by music pcb (Tail, Kill wsitch, Lfo mods, ecc) plus a starve knob (is the big one)



    - Put the circuit inside the Ordning, it's very simple, it fits perfectly and you don't even have to drill the enclosure to fit the pots and the switches in !!! :-) You just need to enlarge a couple of holes ...

    - Take a Cd cake box you don't use anymore, open it, take the bottom of the box, cut the cylinder.

    - Take the Ordning (with the circuit inside), fit it into the box bottom, take the heath glue and stick them togheter.

    You' re done, the Ikea Delay is ready! ;-)

    EXPEDIT Wardrobe

    Posted by Unknown Posted on 8:44 AM with No comments

    Materials: 1 EXPEDIT TV storage unit, 1 EXPEDIT Shelving unit (1x4), different shelf inserts, clothes rail

    Description:
    Inspired by two EXPEDIT Hacks (EXPEDIT wardrobe with plants & EXPEDITion Small-Room-Closet) I've decided to build my own wardrobe.



    First I built the 4x1 EXPEDIT shelf as described in the manual. Laying on the long side, it's the basis for the EXPEDIT TV Furniture. This one I built pretty much like the manual says, except the bottom and the shelves for the multimedia devices. With a clothes rail and some EXPEDIT inserts, my new wardrobe was ready to store some shoes and coats.

    Sorry that I can't provide one full picture of the wardrobe, my entrance is to narrow.

    Driftwood Lamps

    Posted by Unknown Posted on 4:59 AM with No comments

    Materials: IKEA lamps, drift wood, drill

    Description: I saw this hack at a rental vacation home in Corsica, France, and just had to share it. Seems pretty straight-forward.

    1. Choose IKEA table lamp (or floor lamp if more ambitious) where the post can be unscrewed from the base, or the top can be taken off.

    2. Collect lots of driftwood.

    3. Drill a hole through the middle of each piece of driftwood.

    4. Arrange driftwood on the lamp post.

    5. Reassemble lamp.

    One of the lamps is an IKEA lamp, the other one might be different, but the picture turned out better, so I'm still including it.

    Enjoy.

    Pantry Kitchen Ceiling & Walls

    Posted by Unknown Posted on 12:14 PM with No comments

    Materials: Panels, High Gloss Abstrakt

    Description: We have a very small pantry kitchen. However, we thought we had high ceilings. To get more cabinet space up high.

    When we stripped our kitchen down to the bones we learned that our walls were made out of cement (hard to get rid off) & our ceiling can't be touched (building permits).


    before

    It would have taken poor Bobby years to clean walls & ceilings. Therefore, we decided to "hide" the cement walls, the ceiling, & update the window to the living room with Abstrakt high gloss panels. Was it expensive? Yes. But it was worth while every dollar. Everybody loves it.

    Expedit sound center

    Posted by Unknown Posted on 8:50 AM with No comments

    Materials: Red 2x4 Expedit, Ikea drywall screws, Dioder lights, duck tape

    Description: I have seen a lot of folks on here use the Expedit as record storage but I don't have a large collection and I wanted something that would fit into a small corner space.

    I liked the glossy red Expedit and figured with the 2x4 size I could not only house my records but also my turntable, speakers, iPod speaker system, etc.

    To get the look I wanted I built the Expedit according to instructions but left out the last short divider so I would have a double length shelf at the top of the unit on which to rest my turntable and speakers.

    You do have to secure the long shelf to the divider beneath it and I have seen other folks cut the dowels down so they are flush with the shelf but I decided screws would make it more secure.



    The Ikea drywall screws that come in their multi-screw kits were the right width and length to accomplish this, only downside being a rounded head as opposed to flat so they are not flush with the shelf. Easy to switch to the same size screw at a local hardware store that has a flat head.

    I installed the color changing Dioder lights to the unit so I can easily read the record labels and see the grooves of the LP when playing my records. The lights are thin enough that you can still flip through your records without hitting them.


    To hide all of the cords at the back I found glossy red duck tape at the local hardware store that matched perfectly with the Expedit and I ran it along the shelf lines at the back. I left the protective film on the back of the unit so I could tape to that rather than the unit itself so it won't leave residue if I decide to use the unit for something else in the future. Voila!

    Melltorp to Sewing Desk

    Posted by Unknown Posted on 4:55 AM with No comments

    Materials: Melltorp, Effektiv door.

    Description: A sewing machine sitting on top of a desk isn't the most ergonomic or comfortable. Hands are perched in the air to reach the sewing bed, kinda like The Thriller dance. Amy's idea was to mount the Effectiv door panel below the surface of the desk and create an under table support for the Bernina. This would let the sewing bed sit flush to the desk.

    Bolts were used to mount the panel so that it can be easily adjustable up and down to assure the surface was flat.



    Here's how it's done:
    1. Trace the outline of the sewing machine and sewing bed onto the MELLTORP table allowing slightly extra room for cords.


    2. Use a jigsaw to cut it out.
    3. Sand out the rough bits of the cut out with an orbital sander.
    4. Mark out the holes for the bolts to mount the EFFEKTIV door below the desk.


    5. Adjust the bolts up and down to make sure the sewing bed sat flush with the desk
    6. Reinforce it all with nuts.



    See step by step instructions & more photos of the sewing desk.

    Molger & sons

    Posted by Unknown Posted on 1:52 PM with No comments

    Materials: 2 x Molger shelving units, saw, hammer, drill, wood glue

    Description:
    1. Get two Molger shelving units.

    2. Cut (saw) both according to need (I wanted to fit a tall lava lamp, so I wanted to max shelf distance).

    3. Drill holes to align posts. Now, I failed getting the holes right first, however, adding extra holes and nails made alignment easy (pix).



    3.5 (optional) Cut an extra piece of wood for book support. Fit between Molger posts with nails and pre-drilled holes.

    4. Pre align (everything comes together at once by the end so be careful), apply glue.

    When posts stand straight, hammer into place. Use spare wood to protect Molger's soft wood when hammering.

    5. Done. Two Molgers turned into one extra tall and two shorter.


    (a simple graphic outline is here too)

    Sultan goes outdoor and back under the bed..

    Posted by Unknown Posted on 8:55 AM with No comments

    Materials: Sultan Lade

    Description: As I recently changed my slatted frame that was in my Malm bed (Sultan Lade) with one that is adjustable, I thought it would be nice to use the wood parts for something.

    So I used all of the parts to create 2 things: a garden rack to hold plants and other garden utensils. I painted the parts with some weather proof finish and built it together. On the side facing the wall I used an Observator bracket to make it more stable.

    The second thing was for my wife - she has a lot of shoes and boots and ever searching for some space ;-)



    So I made a little drawer and put some fabric inside and outside to give a better smoother place to put in the boots.

    Two nice handles made it perfect.

    PS. My first hack ;-)

    Folding table + bench

    Posted by Unknown Posted on 4:31 AM with No comments

    Materials: Björkudden, two foldable shelf brackets, hooks

    Description: Having my girlfriend move into my apartment we had a spare Björkudden table which we temporarily stored at our balcony.

    This balcony being only one meter wide wasn't big enough to place the table as a whole.

    With the desire to be able to eat and relax on the balcony I wanted to create a space saving table which I could move and remove depending on the sun and rain.



    Creating the foldable table was relatively simple when I found some fold-up shelf brackets at my local DIY-store. First sawing the table in the machine direction and hanging a wooden plate frame on the hooks. Then screwing the fold-up shelf brackets onto the frame. Finally screwing the half table onto the wooden frame on the proper height.

    The other half of the table was accidentally of the perfect size to use as a matching bench. All I had to do was shorten the legs, and fasten the back legs(which came actually from a different Björkudden table) with several screws, as the original mounting of the legs are used in the table.

    White concrete wrapped Ikea kitchen island

    Posted by Unknown Posted on 11:54 AM with No comments

    Materials: Faktum Cabinets, Rational drawers Besta Push Openers

    Description: Used standard Faktum Cabinets with a custom re-enforced ground frame to hold the weight of concrete benchtop. Used Besta push openers to act as drawer openers so I can maintain a flush appearance on the front of the kitchen island.

    Standing to hanging lamp

    Posted by Unknown Posted on 8:55 AM with No comments

    Materials: KULLA standing lamp, iron wire

    Description: This weekend I sold my antique chandelier, so I was chasing the city to find a new hanging lamp. All kinds and sorts I have considered; the €1428 Hexagonal chandelier designed by Jules Wabbes, €70 vintage retro lamp on the Dutch Ebay, even a €139 industrial imitation came along.


    I have no idea how it happened, but as soon the antique chandelier left our house, I immediately start taking apart this standing IKEA lamp. I unscrewed the Kulla standard. Placed the shade-holder upside down to the fitting. I drilled a whole in the standard and placed and Iron wire between the standard and the ceiling. That's about it.

    I must admit that I was kind of proud to see the whole thing hanging.

    See more of the Kulla hanging pendant.

    Hemnes pieces to Built In Media Wall

    Posted by Unknown Posted on 4:29 AM with No comments

    Materials: Hemnes bookshelves, tv unit and glass door cabinet

    Description:
    We were looking for a built in in our basement family room so we chose some pieces from the Hemnes line, spaced them apart and finished the tops, bottoms and spaces in between to make it look like one large unit.



    We attached all the pieces to the wall and kept the distance between each the same. A soffit was added above to hide some plumbing and wiring and a large piece of molding was added along the bottom to finish it off. The top of the tv unit was removed and a larger piece was added to account for the wider dimension.

    Pine pieces were also added in to the top of the tv unit to match the board and batten pattern in the rest of the room. Some paper on the backs of the cabinets finished off the look.

    You can see more of this project on my blog.
