Yes! I like working with reclaimed wood.

Thanks!

It’s been more than 3 yrs since, but no sign of sagging sat all. Kallax itself distributes the weight well.

Thanks

It’s Trotec’s Speedy 300.

I thought about it, and I thought of adding another leg right in the middle. However, it doesn’t get much weight from how we use it and fortunately it hasn’t needed one yet since I made it. I would recommend you to have a hidden one if you are making one though.

This was a farewell gift to my friend… so hopefully it’s been used!

Yes. I like to create stuff in my free time. I create free time to give me the joy of creating stuff. Hence, the stuff I create is my Free Time Creation 🙂

Спасибо! аминь!

Thanks John!

For something that was built with free materials, it does the job and we like it.

@@uwo3ryota love it! Have to try it. I have a Kreg jig just laying around!

Like you said some IKEA furnitures indeed have shorter lifespan if they aren’t treated well, especially like LACK and Kallax range with hollow cardboard core. I don’t consider them a disposable option though. The purpose of the build is that we wanted to have legs for it and it has been serving that purpose very well even with our kids pulling bags in and out for the past five years. I hope it lasts at least another five years at least. We love Kallax because, like you said, it’s cheap. Thank you for calling the legs I made a quality platform. The pallet wood I used was free, so it’s suitable for a cheap furniture. I learned new skills during the build and that’s half of the fun thing I do in my Free Time Creation. In regards of woodworking tools and skills, it could be your new hobby. Start small and gradually collect skills and tools as you go. Just like how I did over the last ten years. Woodworking for Mere Mortals #WWMM have such a great list of beginner’s guide and tool list. I highly recommend you to check it out if you are keen learn.

Totally agree! It would have made sense. The thing is that these were meant to be fixed to the plates first (as seen in the drawing) but my Mrs didn’t like the look. L brackets had to be mounted to the top as I made pocket holes under the mounting bars and I had no place to put screws into.

@@uwo3ryota Eh, with the weight it has to hold I don;'t think the top mounted brackets will present any issues. Looks great! I want to try it!

Thanks@@ronkopald. You are right that we haven’t had any issue with kid’s clothes being piled up so far. A word of advice would be to have enough gap between the rack and the wall. As I initially planned to have a backing brace for the posts but they are omitted, we have about 15mm less gap. Have fun making it!

Thank you Joe :)

Thank you Jim! This design is based on April Wilkerson’s lumber cart. Mine is much smaller as our cars need to be parked in the garage usually. It still serves my purpose too.

No problem so far. All visitors sit on it to put their shoes on (we have No Shoe rule for inside the house). It can take people’s weight just fine.

Merci beaucoup! (Thanks to Google Translate)

If you were asking if I’m Korean, no. I’m Japanese 🇯🇵

Thanks, hope it went well for you too!

They have been great. Only jigsaw died recently… it’s all made from salvaged timber too e.g. pallet plywood, old bed frame.

All my skills came from my grandfather. Hopefully my kids will do the same!

No worries, glad it helped you. All the best!

Thank you!

@@laurasautographs Thank you. I never thought about it, but come to think of it, the person who created the original version should get the credit and make profit. My file was created by me but by looking at the original image next to it. Sorry about the inconvenience, but it would be better to support the original creator @minsarang instead.

@@uwo3ryota Se ha deciso di togliere il file la comprendo, mi dispiace molto perché condividere fa bene invece di pensare sempre al profitto personale. Siamo essere umani dovremmo aiutarci l’un l’altro. Comunque le consiglio di modificare il titolo del video così da essere adeguato.

@@giusytirotta9099 Although I made the vector file, I think the design itself is very similar to the original image. If I create my own design, I will be sharing that. I have changed the title already. Thank you for understanding. Sebbene abbia creato il file vettoriale, penso che il design stesso sia molto simile all'immagine originale. Se creo il mio design, lo condividerò. Ho già cambiato il titolo. Grazie per la comprensione. (Google Traduttore)

I just addedd some SketchUp files to 3D Warehouse. Please download files from there :)

Thank you! 😊

I just addedd some SketchUp files to 3D Warehouse. Please download files from there :) My version is fairly low as my kids need to sit on it to put shoes on. It only has a gap enough for slippers to be put under.

Thank you for your comment. Please refer to the SketchUp files which you can download from the descriptions above. 1. Use a circular saw to rip 2x4 material (old bed frame) into halves to start with using a straight edge. If you have a table saw or buy 2x2 material, that would make your life easier. 2. Us a mitre saw / drop saw to cut all of them to final length. A normal hand saw would have been fine too. 3. Sand everything starting from 100 grit down to 180 grit with a palm sander. Hand sanding with sanding block would also be fine too. 4. Use a Creg Pocket Hole Jig to make pocket holes hidden sides of beams and attach them with legs using some wood glue (didn’t film the glueing). Having a drill and an impact driver separately would speed up this process. 5. Varnish the legs with water based clear satin polyurethane. 6. As Kallax’s panels are hollow inside, use flat head screws (not countersink head) to attach the assembled leg to Kallax panel. 7. On separator panels, make some notches with a countersink bit to cater for heads of the screws. Hope it goes well for you too!

There is… when I get time I’ll put it in the description.

Bülent Belcher thanks!

kirti agrawal Reasons for this design are: 1. I like to make stuff and challenge myself each time. I had to come up with a design with what I had ie free reclaimed pallet wood 2. Kallax is hollow inside the panels (only hexagonal cardboard materials) 3. Legs needed to be away from the sides and the back due to skirting for the our hallway and could not be flush with the sides. There are many other ways of adding legs for sure but this is the way that worked out very well for our household. Please let me know how your version works out if you make one.

My first SHE tsk is in Psychology and its just confusing
