My fiend broke her IKEA table and tasked me to make her a new, stronger one.

Perfectly practical yet questionably coloured.

When you were making the mistake with the dowels I thought, Oh this is some kind of a new joinery. I have always told myself if you can fix your own mistakes it is a sign of a good woodworker.

A much better version than the other one and a lot sturdier

I do find people upgrading IKEA furniture really entertaining. There is something very relatable about it.

IR-ON, found a dusty one in the garage when edge banding the other day. I was wondering if you could have removed the honey comb core and reused the white top laminated to a lump of ply? Just a thought mainly because conti board is a ridiculously price product

@Badgerworkshop 3 ай бұрын

The furniture board I used was pretty cheap. You probably could re use it but might have to spend a while removing glue

@dougsaunders8109 3 ай бұрын

@@Badgerworkshop fair point Matt re glue. My pet hate material, conti. I would rather use oil soaked wet pallet wood. Everyone has there quirks this is mine 🙈

I discovered how these tabletops were constructed when I slammed down my beer glass for dramatic effect and made a nice round hole in the the top - the kids thought this was hilarious, but Mrs C rather less so ! 😬😉😂

And it won't sag over time / with real use like the IKEA 'LACK' original. I've scrapped a few of those myself.

It would be really nice if you used that wood to make a full, glued, top. With some stain. Sure, you would need more wood, but you could afford it with the money spent on the chipboard. Cheers!

You’re developing a hunch as that work shop is too small for you. Also, get some ventilation and vacuuming dust extraction etc

Honestly I think those cardboard things are pretty cool. They use a LOT less material and they do the job. I'm not sure I really prefer chipboard over them.

@@kz.irudimen indeed as a woodworker myself I obviously don't recommend it but it's a darn nice invention from an engineering point of view

@kz.irudimen 3 ай бұрын

@@WonkyStud For some things I think they make more sense than chipboard, mdf or even plywood. If people want to buy and throw things away a few years later when they move or they want to redecorate, it might as well be cardboard and empty space. So much material/trees/glues/resins/etc saved. Also, as much as people love ragging on Ikea, they do some pretty cool things like sending you free hardware (screws etc) if you lost it in a move. My brother bought a desk, lost all the specific screws in a move, and they sent us everything for free. Without all that specific hardware the desk would have been useless, now it's my desk.
