This was super helpful. After watching your video, I assemble mine in less than a minute (and I’m terrible with even basic DIY stuff!). Thank you so much!

[@BeardClipper]

You are so welcome!!! I'm really pleased it helped you out. That's great! Thank you for taking the time to comment - it's so inspiring and encouraging to read something like this. Have a great New Year!

[@ebruergen7382]

@@BeardClipper Happy New Year to you too! ☺️

[@BroadcastsFromPoorFarm]

Thanks for the walkthrough! The printed instructions don’t make it clear at all when it comes to bending the little peg over with a pair of pliers.

[@BeardClipper]

You are very welcome. I'm pleased that this was useful to you. Thanks for taking the time to comment - appreciated.

[@davidsmith9431]

If you magnetize your minis the otherside also works to hold them in place

[@camy252camy3]

Was just thinking this. So flip them rather than peel cork off?

[@BeardClipper]

Thank you both - yes indeed the drawers would slide in OK upside down I'm pretty sure :) good thinking, and thanks for the comments; much appreciated :)

[@ProfessorCharlesPorterfield]

Oh those are very nice. I could get great use of those for paper or tile storage. By the by - Kvissle is a proper name it is a village in Bergs municipality located between Storsjön and Oviksfjällen next to Hovermoån in the southern part of Jämtland. Thanks for sharing this those are a lovely product. Cheers.

[@BeardClipper]

thank you mate; yes they are really useful for many purposes - Angela is using them to store her pastel art :) Oh that is very interesting :) I couldn't pronounce it for ages but now I've got it I think. Cheers, as always, for your support and encouragement :)

[@RNMEDIC1335]

I use mine to hold mu Stampin Up punches. Thank you for the instructions on how to assemble. You made it so easy

[@BeardClipper]

Ahh nice one - they are so useful aren't they; such a great size :) You are very welcome, I'm glad that I was able to help you out - thank you for taking the time to comment and let me know :) it is much appreciated :)

[@kerrykeller2937]

Bought 2 of these at Ikea. They work perfectly for storing rubber stamps used in cardmaking.

[@BeardClipper]

Oh that's a cool use indeed! They are very versatile and I use mine all the time. Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated :)

[@BigMekDanskull]

I have one of these & love it. I need to pick up more really so I can properly organise my painting queue. Great vid dude

[@BeardClipper]

Thank you so much for your comment and support :) Yeah I've got two full now with WiP and I love them. Cheers!

[@leftwingdragon6235]

I am this shelving loving just as much thanks for telling me about these I will have to have a look. As always brilliant content.

[@BeardClipper]

They are superb; thanks goes to Dan Adam from Paint all the Minis for putting me onto them! :) cheers mate :)

[@OverboardDM]

I almost wish they weren’t cork shelves. I plan on putting magnets on the bottoms of each miniature. They would love metal shelves a lot better.

[@BeardClipper]

Yeah, you aren't the only one to make that comment; someone else has suggested turning them upside down which would work perfectly I think. Cheers!

[@seancarlson4408]

I use metal fender washers as bases, and I buy those Hillman Ceramic Disc Magnet. They hold the minis really well, to the point you could tip it upside down and they stay on. You can shake it of course, but transporting in the car I have zero worries that the minis get messed up. Also, drill a couple holes and you can add a handle. If you don't like white, buy some metal spray paint. IMO, the hammered spray paints give a cool looking texture to the metal.

[@BeardClipper]

Thanks for your comment. I have based a lot of my 20mm/1:76 WW2 miniatures onto washers as well - I bought some magnetic sheet to use for storage but haven't got round yet. Those are all really good suggestions, thank you very much for taking the time to pop them on the video for others to see. I use mine as static storage for my WiP stuff but I think I would probably paint it if I were to use them for outside transport. I am really finding them so useful, to be able to pull a shelf, work on painting the minis, and then slide it back away tidily is awesome. Thanks again for the comment, and for watching the video.

[@ITSACRITICAL]

Those are awesome!! Every time I go to IKEA I feel like i going to summon a demon when i try to say the names of the products. LOL

[@BeardClipper]

Haha maybe it is some crazy evil plot to summon the Old Ones? :D

[@jazzj2]

I bought the kvissle and the lurvig pet carrier to fit it and carry it around, and a suggestion i got is to put magnets or magnet foil on the front part of each tray, and then put them into the kvissle backwards - that way the magnets will prevent each tray from randomly sliding around while you're transporting the kvissle

[@BeardClipper]

That is a really cool suggestion; thanks for commenting and making such a useful comment at that :) Much appreciated!

[@CampaignTerrain]

Nice recommendation. Thanks, Beard

[@BeardClipper]

You are very welcome my friend :) thanks for taking the time to comment :)

[@BrushQuill]

Very nice, thanks for sharing. I have build some no bolts shelving and it goes well they are good but can be quite frustrating at times too.

[@BeardClipper]

Yeah I certainly prefer the security of screws most of the time but this has proven to be very solid and caused no trouble. Cheers for your comment!

[@pbeccas]

Nice. If you drilled in a handle at the top, put flexible steel on the tray bottoms and magnetise your troop bases you could use this unit as a troop transport.

[@Sparkplug666]

Maybe you can just flip the drawers. seem to be metal and if they fit upsidedown it might work

[@BeardClipper]

Thank you @pbeccas :) I'm glad you enjoyed it.. and yes, as Spargplug says you could absolutely flip them over to make them a magnetic system. Cheers, both, for your comments :)

[@pbeccas]

@@BeardClipper I’m going to buy one and see how it goes.

[@BeardClipper]

let me know! :)

[@dennissems]

OMG this was soooooo helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you

[@BeardClipper]

You are very welcome :) I'm really glad you found it helpful. Thank you for taking the time to comment - they really are so welcome as a smaller youtuber :) Have a great day.

[@Terrain_Craft_Chronicles]

Nice one 👍... I may be ordering some of these too!

[@BeardClipper]

The good thing is I ordered two for me and two for my Mrs (she does pastel art) and she also loves them :) they're just so useful!

[@mikesmith2905]

I use 20mm and 54mm scales and favour Humbrol enamels (started 50+years ago and see no reason to change, the dirty thinners makes a nice 'dark wash'). I find paper sorting drawers work well for the paints and 20mm scale models - Currently doing some figures in acrylics for a friend, the acrylic dropper bottles and the taller Games Workshop bottles are too tall for the drawers but that's okay as some thick card (greyboard, the stuff on the back of writing pads) can be bent up concertina style so the bottles can be laid out. The trays have sides so I can take out the set I am working with and have it on the bench beside me. The only snag is the cost but I have picked up a couple for other people cheaply in junk and ex-office kit shops. Got one recently at full price, has 5 drawers 35.7 x 28.5 x 26.5 centimetres and cost about £30 (I know, I cried as well). The drawers are plastic but plenty strong enough for lifting out when full of paints and miniatures.

[@BeardClipper]

Ahh I have a stash of my original Humbrol enamels from when I was a kid and building model planes with my dad; the smell of them takes me right back! Paper Sorting Drawers are not something I've come across before; I'll have to take a look. It's obviously been a while since this video and I can report that the kvissle gets use every day storing my projects and has proven to be excellent, with the cork being the best bit as it is non-slip and I'm quite clumsy. I'll check out these other drawers though; thanks so much for the suggestion and also for taking the time to comment after watching; much appreciated :)

[@BluestreekCustoms]

Those are very cool, great idea

[@BeardClipper]

Cheers Blue - can't claim credit it was Dan from Paint all the Minis who put me onto them. I love them :)

[@FacilityD20]

Nice, might have to get a few.

[@BeardClipper]

They are really so useful. I didn't highlight it in this video but you can actually slide the bottom shelf onto the fixings for the sides, so that makes a larger space for bigger models. Cheers mate

[@janetcameron4652]

Thanks BC.

[@BeardClipper]

Ahh thansk for watching and commenting :)

[@QuiniansBudgetCrafts]

oh I could use some of those for sure

[@BeardClipper]

They really are cool... do it!

[@dandelionelf]

Brilliant in every way! A quick thought.. Would it be possible to fit one of the shelves down at the bottom? In that way it would be possible to gain space for larger figures, still gaining the benefit of all shelves.

[@BeardClipper]

Thank you very much :) Yes it absolutely is; the shelf slides in over the top of the clips that hold the side up so it works perfectly; I discovered this myself only last week. Good question, thanks for the comment :)

[@TheGreatMim]

Very nice.....you’ve gone and done it again, best order my wife some flowers and start creeping now 😘😌😌for a very, very early birthday present (not till October😉)

[@BeardClipper]

HAHA ooops I did it again, huh :D They are great, but they aren't that cheap to be honest :) but I'm loving them and they get very regular use here :)

[@RIVERSRPGChannel]

Very neat

[@BeardClipper]

I filmed this a fair few weeks ago and I can tell you that I've found it SO amazingly useful for my WiP management :) Thanks

[@lesliebeilby-tipping6854]

Great stove in the background will it stay in overnight? Hope you have been using Angela Pastels for your weathering powders and shading on your MDF buildings! Interesting storage system.

[@BeardClipper]

Haha yeah we only have wood stoves to heat us here, though I've since actually snuck an electric heater under my painting desk as it's dropped to minus figures outside. We only light them when we're in a room for an extended period of time, I'm pretty used to lower temperatures now :D HAHA She won't let me near those! However I do have some cheaper ones that I bought but haven't yet got round to trying out . Thanks for the comment and the nudge - a good idea to get them out and have a play.

[@thomaswhitten3418]

Did I see some of the big hat Chaos Dwarves lurking on one of those shelves?

[@BeardClipper]

Yes, yes you did :) I need to get them painted up! :D

[@thomaswhitten3418]

I need to do the same with mine.

[@cardboardfortress1855]

Late to the Kvissle party, but they look good. Can you wall mount them?

[@BeardClipper]

Hey - never too late! There don't appear to be any mounting holes or brackets however you could almost certainly drill through with a normal steel drill bit to attach your own? I've got mine sat on a shelving unit. Thanks for watching, and for the comment :)
