nice video, but I'm wondering with all equipment and tools that you have in your workshop and with that special talent why do you need to hack IKEA's product? you could have make your own sturdy brands instead of Ikea's flimsy product.
@Grunblau8 жыл бұрын
+gig970 Yes. But I already had a kitchen stand for makerfaire and got used to the mobility in my shop. IKEA solid wood stands are cheaper than I could buy the wood.

@Cheezeball999995 жыл бұрын
Even if the product was more expensive than just buying raw material, this is KZbin. Brilliant people get to do things here that would be cost prohibitive to the rest of us, or maybe just don't necessarily make financial sense. I wouldn't have done this myself, because the nearest Ikea is a hundred miles away, but this was a super cool project; Call it upcycling, even though he started with a finished product. And those drawer pulls... Sexy.

you dont merely need ikea, your craftmanship is much more better than ikea products, casting of handle is so neat.

Well - I'm just in love with the craftsmanship. You probably could have built the entire mini-workbench from scratch but I like that you demonstrated how something quite ordinary could become something so beautiful and unique. Those benches will last forever due to your attention to detail. The drawer pulls are actually jewelry. My grandfather worked for a carpentry company and I have a "hope chest" that he made for my Mom. I am imagining that some day your grandkids will proudly house your creations for everyone to enjoy. Thanks so much for this video.
