Modern Workbench IKEA Hack | DIY

[@Nerdforge]

Hey guys! The style of this video is a little different, I wanted to try something new. This workbench has already served me great, and I expect it do to for a long time!

[@albytex6549]

Great job Guys! It's been last year that I'm following you and you're really good! When I have time, I try to follow always your channel :) Congratulations keep doing this. Ps. I prefer Martina's videos because I find her beautiful, nice and clumsy!;) Hansi from your side you have always many nice ideas!

[@Nerdforge]

Thank you for your kind words, and for staying with us for this long! Martina says hi :D

[@albytex6549]

Thanks so much guys!:) Ciao Martina!: D Ps. I can also recommend some youtubers who most or less share your and our nerd passion, The Ben Heck Show (in my opinion the monster hack) and DIY Perks! :)

Hey great video, nice job, the only thing that I think it would be better is using 5 instead of 6 trofage storages, in one side middle one left empty so you can work on desk in chair and you would have space for legs and be closer to the desk :D Greetz from Croatia :D

Whats a NaturalNerd project without some LED

[@SebastiaanMollema]

Handy simple workbench! Using those drawer cabinets are a good option for storing small things in my shop, thanks!

[@LionTree]

Simple and effective. Looks great, too; not looking like a pine board workbench is nice.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Nice! Just found you through instructables newsletter, great channel, keep up the good work! :)

[@Nerdforge]

Hey Black Beard Projects, I'm already subbed to you! Thanks man, and likewise!

[@RocketChild]

such a great storage solution!

[@KennethNicholson1972]

Much cheaper and far more sturdy to build carcass from 3" x 2" Scant PAR pine, and skin it with 1/4" plywood. I do not trust chipboard. Would be rock solid and leave enough cash to fit the bench with 240v sockets and emergency power cut off for power tools.

[@BraxFilm]

I agree, but this can be done with a saw and a screwdriver basically. I guess thats a valid point as well.

[@mrbadx19]

normally, i would agree with you. maybe they are not going to build their next house using that bench. they make smaller projects. if you are going to do larger projects, a steel based workbench would be suitable. my dad had a heavy duty work bench 40 years ago, this is flimsy next to it, but we were building up a house, not little projects.

[@mrbadx19]

he still has that bench, hasn't been used in a while, he's 79 now...

[@jody024]

The new modular socket system IKEA ha is ideal for builds like these.

[@MCsCreations]

Really great project!

[@ebbulk]

Love the cutting mat! Thanks for sharing it

[@urbanfarmermelbourne-foodf9278]

4 years on and still relevant!

[@mihaipopescu5304]

Nicely done :) with an interesting approach. At 4:27-4:28 there are 3 leds that have delay or bad connection :))) on the right. Keep up the good work.

[@stefanocaliari]

Rrally fantastic!! I want try to do it! Davvero molto bello come progetto.

[@Nerdforge]

Heey, thanks :)

[@hrdcpy]

I've seen a number of free 3D print models specifically for the Trofast bins

[@DaniMakes]

No way on the LED strip prices! Some strips for $2! And 5 meters worth! At a local store in the U.S. those types of lights are WAY more! But yeah, used your link to buy some. :) Great project also by the way.

[@audreywilt5608]

make a rolling base for it, with lock wheels.

[@Nerdforge]

That was the original plan!

[@edrissakhayee5265]

will done boy

[@LivefreeanddiyTv]

Came out really nice, great work 🤓👍

[@alexbbmms3934]

Now that looks awesome 👏 great job 🙌🏻😁

[@gXXrGoNe]

OMG, six tables at $30 each. That's $180 for those who haven't done the math. You could have bought enough plywood for the same cost to make 2 of these desk and sell the second to cover 50% of the cost of just making one.

[@rampanttricky17]

and you would have gotten the trays and slides ...?

[@sailingnavydayz1777]

Good for you, young fella!

[@Jordy23350]

You could put it on Casta wheels so you can move it around

[@ZT_9999]

I really love your videos they look great fun and are really interesting to watch 😊

[@lightdark00]

$30x6 in the beginning, you already lost me. $180 + extra materials + $99 countertop + time = not worth what you ended up with.

[@Rojo_Obscuro]

That's right, really expensive with little customized space.

[@Evasorayaperez]

Que maravilla gracias por la idea

[@kiky.mp4]

now you are Mr. Maker

[@JackSchue]

This project is definitely cool, but unfortunately also unrealistic and hardly DIY. The price of the 6 shelving units and countertop alone is about 280 dollars. For that price, you may as well just buy a pre-built desk and add some modifications to fit your needs. That would probably be way cheaper and easier.

[@ChrisRid]

Awesome idea and looks great, but building 6 flat-packs doesn't sound like fun.

[@blijotis3053]

great vid

[@ScottOMalley]

Where did you get the mat with the measurements that you show at the start and end of the video, it looks like a great piece :)

[@Nerdforge]

Hey! Thanks, this is the cutting mat: amzn.to/2qd9xX4 Also updated description

[@ElViajero321123]

Did you thought to add casters to it.

[@H4Xcashmoney]

Another fantastic video. based on your power outlet i can tell you are from europe? Is that right?

[@Nerdforge]

Correct, Norway in fact :)

[@H4Xcashmoney]

Natural Nerd Oh awesome. Bergen here ;) Need to make a makeshift corner desk for my computer. your vids help me out a lot with inspiration.

[@EvolverDX]

I recommended these screws to connect the parts together, www.amazon.de/dp/B00TQQBF08/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_Pt2Tzb9F8T424. They are simple in use and you can assemble and unassemble the whole piece as often as you wish if it's necassary without any damage.

[@egothebeard]

How about to make a radiator that will change colors if the temperature change?

[@donodella30]

Muito bom. Parabéns.

[@xXpL4uN3rXx]

why u dont use Ferrules / Terminals for this kind of kabels? please use it !!!!!!!

[@EarnieMercerDungeonstiles]

This is a cool Project but I think you would of spent less money and about the same amount of time building it from scratch. But if all you have are light weight tools you want to store then the plastic drawers are ok I guess. LED's are cool I give you that, but not on my work bench.. lol Id break em fast.

[@praaanay]

what's that mat on the table called?

[@Nerdforge]

There is a link to it in the description

[@praaanay]

thanks man casy too uses such mat

[@garryveitch714]

Hey there what height toyvost unit did you use?

[@Mathpjaneuf]

It’s a weird paradox to build a workbench… what if you need a workbench while building you workbench 🤔

[@karalee66]

Love it. but please don't use a power drill to tighten wire clamping screws. eeek

[@Nerdforge]

thanks for the caution, will consider that in the future :)

[@BeardedNorthBiker]

As an electrichian, I get so triggered by the fact that you're using the wrong cable, and that the cable clips and the cable going between the outlests isn't straight.

[@Nerdforge]

Thought it was the right one for electrical appliances that are not permanently connected. Anyway, which should I use for future reference? :)

[@gtfouraw]

Don't forget the earth cable is too short

[@grandmestredespoulpes2435]

99$ for an Ikea wood plank, Is it not too expensive ? I bought mine in a DIY store for something like 20$.

[@MrNeuroamante]

99 dollars that fragment of melamine ... because they let them do that IKEA ???

[@jessvagnar4957]

6 O.o that's a lot of $$$ as is, I'll just stick to my wood 4x4...

[@Graff-Art]

That's a shitty workbench to be honest... No diagonal supports which will make it fold like a house of cards if pushed on the ends.

[@Stxzm67]

Haha

[@traktorhelga]

that is not 2"'*2" o.O those are 36mm*48mm 1,5" *2" :P

[@mrbadx19]

those aren't 2x2's , anyone who isn't blind can see they are not "square".

[@blerimshakiri2614]

i hate IKEA

[@Schrimschrim]

This Children thinking everything needs some LED lights....

[@Impetuss]

Hansi and Martina? Dont tell me you say your names are that, when its actually Hans and Martine, to make it sound better in English?? Because Hansi and Martina are really uncommon Norwegian names
