First step is to remove all staples and fabric supporting the frame. A leg was made from 2 wood slats, cut and connected together with screws and wood glue forming a narrow 70cm x 10cm rectangular frame. We made 4 sets of legs, 2 legs were connected by a full slat coming in between the leg frame, this will become the support of the table top made again from slats nailed and glued from the bottom<br><br></p> <p>~ Marcus Isip, Dubai UAE</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.ikeahackers.net">More hacks on IKEAHackers.net</a></div></content>

Because I like seeing a clockwork at work, I started looking for something that might function as a display case. The smaller Borrby lantern is inexpensive and seemed well-suited to my purpose.  <br>  <br>Note: the galvanized version of the Borrby is constructed differently and I don't think it would work for this hack.  <br>  <br>I bought two, because I couldn't find a single one without scratches on the glass (Hey Ikea, Borrbys are not adequately packed, they're just placed together in a box without any separation or protection between them). I ended up using 5 glass panels; one for the top as well. </div> <p><a name='more'></a>  </p> <p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB8y6sIEg8HySOFLLUSdAku6EtOFt-xcCl-0jr-RCMUb7cEL3YyHp4lzC_9DAG4NcH80U5iUzkco66Xgz80xwe5ayC9fQsr2XP6Q5BuuUiPZW62JRpNwSH1QCYRW_yRSWOfz8ZKciewfg/s1600/DSCN1220-748137.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target=""><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="345" id="blogsy-1370330448341.0298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB8y6sIEg8HySOFLLUSdAku6EtOFt-xcCl-0jr-RCMUb7cEL3YyHp4lzC_9DAG4NcH80U5iUzkco66Xgz80xwe5ayC9fQsr2XP6Q5BuuUiPZW62JRpNwSH1QCYRW_yRSWOfz8ZKciewfg/s320/DSCN1220-748137.jpg" width="550"></a><br></p> <p class="mobile-photo">First I removed all the glass panels. Then I pried off the top section of the lantern and sawed off the 4 supports flush with the bottom. I turned the lantern upside-down (so the top became the bottom). I fastened the top (now bottom) to a leftover piece of oak board - because the metal is thin and became a little deformed, I used brass L-brackets to clamp the metal down to the board (the brass echoes the clockwork metal). I was intending to put brass corners around the top too, but that didn't look like it would work out when I got to it (the screws would have ended up going through the glass). </p> The vent holes were covered up with leftover pieces of a LOBBO lampshade. Brass plate would have been nicer but I didn't find any.  <br>  <br>The top cover is made of two overlapping L-shaped pieces sawn from what was originally the bottom of the lantern. These I glued together and re-painted black. The top is held in place by double-sided construction tape, In case I need to take it apart again.   <br>  <br>I cut a glass panel to size for the top. I'm not very good at cutting glass, so starting from the panels of another Borrby limited the number of cuts I needed to make. Also, 3 chances to get it right...  <br>  <br>My spare lantern is now missing its back glass panel, I intend to put a reflecting piece of metal in its place (perhaps cut from a cookies box) and turn it into a semi-directional lantern.</p><p><br>~ Eli, Belgium</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.ikeahackers.net">More hacks on IKEAHackers.net</a></div></content>

This is pretty easy to figure out when you look at the pieces, if you have prior DIY experience with tools. I'm looking into creating a tutorial for this, when I have the time...  <br>  <br>- Lay out the cabinets. Optionally lay cabinets on a lumber footing, so they're easier to open. This also helps to attach the cabinets: you can screw them on the footing.   <br>  <br>- Attach cabinets to each other and build an inner structure to reinforce them and to take the most of the weight of the bed and anyone laying on it.   <br>  <br>- Optionally cover the tops of cabinets with plywood (or other material) for a sleeker look. Treat your chosen material (I waxed the plywood after sanding it fine) so it's easier to clean and will keep looking nice.   <br>  <br>- Attach the bed on top of the structure. I used steel brackets (used them on a lot of places in the construction as well).    <br>  <br>- Attach doors and handles. Line up the doors.   <br>  <br>- Step back and enjoy! And then fill it up.

The entire thing is just wide and deep enough to comfortably hold the iPad, at least to Kindles and two cell phones at the same time.  <br /><a name='more'></a><br /><div class="mobile-photo"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfeHYRy09lhboPSevZkHtgGrZZBjhVHX8gV_UrUdsQTKQ6N9wvcLUD8so_bK-gaS_4t2M0VcOVL0h95Fk3D39ajJ0q1ysUwfXp59KaM4-ttEcdarqqMAX4Xz0Aavw3fDbyl_y5YQWnEoI/s1600/02-769528.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5883088451971941346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfeHYRy09lhboPSevZkHtgGrZZBjhVHX8gV_UrUdsQTKQ6N9wvcLUD8so_bK-gaS_4t2M0VcOVL0h95Fk3D39ajJ0q1ysUwfXp59KaM4-ttEcdarqqMAX4Xz0Aavw3fDbyl_y5YQWnEoI/s320/02-769528.jpg" width="550" /></a></div></div><div class="mobile-photo"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAwEZ7qSsn_857UYTVs5nCz4RNkZ4rTNNyLGwsI6eeonUQf3Dxyy0U8cjd4YeMLQq8wgyibKVzg48esvyIYwQWH3rajf5rjjiTti2Db3T2TS2tX8xFA0mHF9ZOf2a6k6Wmvfc2i3Bb3w4/s1600/03-770974.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5883088452247580066" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAwEZ7qSsn_857UYTVs5nCz4RNkZ4rTNNyLGwsI6eeonUQf3Dxyy0U8cjd4YeMLQq8wgyibKVzg48esvyIYwQWH3rajf5rjjiTti2Db3T2TS2tX8xFA0mHF9ZOf2a6k6Wmvfc2i3Bb3w4/s320/03-770974.jpg" width="550" /></a></div></div><div class="mobile-photo"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqOqu-yuvtHkgT_ThxMVN5upyJ3cufSnsgncCXEqT5culhjbfKDG9_d4vMDOsFGbQusZNdLRMQDJ9W6TcVaR_x-SZsaHyRRzUgaCvV_5B0XgWZwmCxTDfBuF9ACvTKF9nP4DUsX9D0GnQ/s1600/04-772617.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5883088464041927730" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqOqu-yuvtHkgT_ThxMVN5upyJ3cufSnsgncCXEqT5culhjbfKDG9_d4vMDOsFGbQusZNdLRMQDJ9W6TcVaR_x-SZsaHyRRzUgaCvV_5B0XgWZwmCxTDfBuF9ACvTKF9nP4DUsX9D0GnQ/s320/04-772617.jpg" width="550" /></a></div></div><div class="mobile-photo"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs86GQS19Cbmf0KNA_oFX1wHadA1x3CSAESBhACHr_Tfh9lyiM-Z_wU8BNPSJVSlkC27XBkH9fKu2ve4khs2CheT_XYTvMJfwdqGZBbSQn4Ol-ocd-hzbd-sfxM7hET-tDtUZLcM_ntrg/s1600/05-774241.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5883088466114747922" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs86GQS19Cbmf0KNA_oFX1wHadA1x3CSAESBhACHr_Tfh9lyiM-Z_wU8BNPSJVSlkC27XBkH9fKu2ve4khs2CheT_XYTvMJfwdqGZBbSQn4Ol-ocd-hzbd-sfxM7hET-tDtUZLcM_ntrg/s320/05-774241.jpg" width="550" /></a></div></div><br />First I attached the little pieces of wood into the big box (instead of into the lid as per instructions) to prevent the lid from sliding about.  <br /><br />Using wood glue, I glued the smaller boxes on the sides of the big box. Originally I hadnâ€™t planned to use the small boxes at all, but they make an excellent place to keep earbuds (which disappear all the time as well). I glued 4 strips of wood (10 x 4 x 1cm) to the back to provide a little space between box and wall and put a few small nails in for extra sturdiness.  <br /><br />I drilled a few 22mm ventilation holes into the lid and the bottom of the big box to prevent the charging plugs and extensions lead from overheating. (Note: donâ€™t forget to put a piece of scrap wood under the box when drilling ventilation holes! You can also put sticky tape on the underside so the wood wonâ€™t splinter outwards when the drill breaks through.)  I also drilled holes into the back for wall mounting with two screws and washers.   <br /><br />When I screwed the box to the wall I placed the power cable along the back of the box so it runs down the middle between the strips of wood. I had to use a manual screwdriver because the electric screwdriver wouldnâ€™t fit â€" hard work! The cables inside the box are gathered together with a bit of plastic-coated wire so they wonâ€™t go all over the place when the lid is lifted off. The lid goes on to the box deep-side up, so the devices can be propped against the wall and wonâ€™t slip over the edge.  <br /><br />I'€™m pretty pleased with the whole thing; I only wish I had painted it a bright colour before screwing it to the wall - maybe I'€™ll do that at a later date when I can face having to screw it on again with the tiny manual screwdriver.  <br /><br />~ Nina Hyland, Munich, Germany<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.ikeahackers.net">More hacks on IKEAHackers.net</a></div></content>

That's not tall enough and if you use a full height door, when you pull the handle, the whole door flexes outward. And at 18" wide it's just not big enough for a family's trash and recycling.  <br /><br />SOLUTION: Use a 24" wide cabinet with full height door panel and an extra drawer kit.  Don't buy the Ikea recycling kit, use standard Sterilite laundry bins instead.  <br /><br />1. Attach your bottom drawer to the door panel per the instructions and template and your rails into the cabinet.  You can now install the assembly into the cabinet and it will slide in and out.  <br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijzgmXG5MMSQeavPrJ8Pho1J-7-ZeovJFE7XyFBE_11VRWvVQf8mRCFlImaYagWgNXdBBu4SzMEJX4xd2ZnLhuirN0R4kpa7w80VAA5BNvf56SNlFm2XxCpAZgz_yXDBtB-b4aiz2LBTQ/s1600/image-718740.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5882746352855390114" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijzgmXG5MMSQeavPrJ8Pho1J-7-ZeovJFE7XyFBE_11VRWvVQf8mRCFlImaYagWgNXdBBu4SzMEJX4xd2ZnLhuirN0R4kpa7w80VAA5BNvf56SNlFm2XxCpAZgz_yXDBtB-b4aiz2LBTQ/s640/image-718740.jpg" width="550" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitXwucjE2XPVw-e7DArs3_1tWA7sajirvbYpLad3L-1DGl4Nk-8Pvyato-yIZQMNkJ8r2s-mNLe8Og6_kEVMVxYBzLrhikGpTLjngrpGOC4QwEdtfjkPJmsypV_dtX5Wi3Yjf8X9PBtiw/s1600/image-720327.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5882746354739032850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitXwucjE2XPVw-e7DArs3_1tWA7sajirvbYpLad3L-1DGl4Nk-8Pvyato-yIZQMNkJ8r2s-mNLe8Og6_kEVMVxYBzLrhikGpTLjngrpGOC4QwEdtfjkPJmsypV_dtX5Wi3Yjf8X9PBtiw/s640/image-720327.jpg" width="550" /></a></div><br />2. Stand your bins sideways (see photos) so there is an even gap to the front panel, back of drawer and between the two bins.  This will allow enough wood when we come to cut the upper drawer base.  <br /><br />3. Offset the bins sideways, which when finished will allow for a roll of trash bags to sit in the bottom.  <br /><br />4. Assemble your second drawer without the base / floor in it.  With your door open and the bins in place, hold the drawer (maybe need a friend for this) around where you plan to install it to determine which holes your rails should go in.  Mark inside the cabinet, install your rails and fit the drawer without the base in it. The drawer should slide in and out.  <br /><br />5. Slide the upper drawer forward until it hits the cabinet front and mark where you will attach it to the door / front.  This is a little tricky and is best done with the door as closed as possible so the drawer is sitting rigidly in the rails and not drooping down at full extension.  <br /><br />6. Re-use the Ikea template from step one to finalize your drawer attachment points on the door.  Drill the holes and attach the drawer to the door front and check the operation.  Your drawer base will still be missing.  <br /><br />7. Mark a line from the bottom of the upper drawer onto one bin.  This is the level that the bin passes through the drawer base.  Measure the depth and width of each bin and draw the outline on your drawer base.  If in doubt make it a little small at first as the wood is easy to enlarge with a rasp.  Cut your holes with a jigsaw.   <br /><br />8. Detach the upper drawer from the door and slide in the drawer base.  You may need to remove the door completely first to get the board to slide in.  Reattach everything.  <br /><br />The bins should drop into your two holes in the upper drawer base.  If the bins don't sit all the way in the bottom drawer, your holes may be too small.  Enlarge them a little with a rasp.<br /><br />~ Patrick Ryan, San Diego<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.ikeahackers.net">More hacks on IKEAHackers.net</a></div></content>

I wanted to see what sort of ideas I could come up with when hacking the look and design - so I ended up buying 5 of them.  <br /><br />My first experiments were based on trying to change the look of the whole clock - like spray painting the frame black. But anyone who has seen one of these clocks would know what I just did. So my attention went to hacking the round plastic cover. This way the new clock designs wouldn't look like the original RUSCH design.  <br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihwN2NzA4TDtJ3aKmXkOYtLVWXXC_eXWDTVL-L4sIlaszhJJ1f8ayw1RIi7BJrvHTfMedQUYaiE3bMFeOwxtB6P3ciQLwE_juIGZPpQJs6lWe1iSCGrojNyZsKJ-uzGukjspVWa60tSHs/s1600/04-IKEA-MARIT-773270.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5882331689452131138" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihwN2NzA4TDtJ3aKmXkOYtLVWXXC_eXWDTVL-L4sIlaszhJJ1f8ayw1RIi7BJrvHTfMedQUYaiE3bMFeOwxtB6P3ciQLwE_juIGZPpQJs6lWe1iSCGrojNyZsKJ-uzGukjspVWa60tSHs/s640/04-IKEA-MARIT-773270.jpg" width="550" /></a></div><br />For three out of the five clocks (The Black Beast, White on White, and Dressed Up) I ended up using the round plastic cover as a base. Two were spray painted, another covered up with fabric. For the Black Beast I cut up the seconds hand to create the number locations.   <br /><br />I didn't want the seconds hand on any of the clocks so I cut off the stems, just to keep the round tab to cover the hole.  <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirHN7OHZ_hcxMVDvFrqeHE9FVAy5xZM5kP_WAq9Y2SUeZl3RaAcwNGaOu2XGwI9bAkIwJb_QTjJt0cmzQCjMWynuxsAToB66Y1mgZyKTiTL9ns8nIdbpRIPqJKjrxrX-zK4t134ePnWcM/s1600/03-Seconds-Hand-Cutting-771518.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5882331686755818082" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirHN7OHZ_hcxMVDvFrqeHE9FVAy5xZM5kP_WAq9Y2SUeZl3RaAcwNGaOu2XGwI9bAkIwJb_QTjJt0cmzQCjMWynuxsAToB66Y1mgZyKTiTL9ns8nIdbpRIPqJKjrxrX-zK4t134ePnWcM/s640/03-Seconds-Hand-Cutting-771518.jpg" width="550" /></a></div><br />Next up is the Double Dose clock.
