Ultimate IKEA Hobby Room Setup

[@donewiththis-2012]

Love to see how my favourite monsanto shilling, big pharma bootlicking, alt right youtuber sets up his rig. Recommending lights no doubt made by slave labour in some yorkshire dungeon.....Notic how he uses flashy USB (short for Use Slavelabour Boys) lighting strips to distract from the dark dungeon -like interior of his new bunker....sorry "warehouse". I'm suprised he didn't edit out the bit where one of his escaped "free labourers" got into shot, the longing for aid and pleading for rescue obvious on his face, it was passed off as a joke about having a "tea lady", see how he dehumanises the poor man by calling him a "lady".....what even is one of those, some kind of rat I'm guessing, but I know for definite they don't have "ladies" in the Grim Dark North, only undead could roam the street in January in Wakey in a boob tube and not keel over from immediate hypothermia. Don't buy into his products guys, he deserves no help from the community , all of the money goes into his greedy luxury car driving fat cat bank account. I implore you, DO NOT buy his products, even if they are fantastic and some of the best and well costed hobby products on the market. I ordered a package the other day and it literally turned up first thing in the morning next day....now that concerned me, as the only way to make that happen is via sorcery (which isn't even real), or witchcraft....which I'm guessing this satan loving top knot wearing skinny jeaned freak is all about. Here he is producing free content for people to peruse, he can only do it free because he uses indentured minions, just like the drug cartels of the south west of Canada. Free does not mean good. My government tried to give me a "free" education....but I fought it, for the cost of that "free" was too steep, I didn't want to end up buying into the narrative the other sheeple eat up. Be free, stay strong, and whatever you do, don't watch the rest of his videos in search for satanic iconography....I lost too much time and sleep uncovering the hidden symbolism and dark numerology in his videos, although my bases do look nice now.

[@Limited_Edition_Customs]

This...this is how it truly is. It's like you're there sharing the pain along with us.

[@USALibertarian]

I disagree.

[@Hotspur37]

the Southwestern Canadian Drug cartels have nothing of the shear terror and violence of the Quebec maple syrup mafia or the hypster beard wearing, mocka latte craft beer drinking street gangs roaming the Toronto area.

[@kerryviens7049]

I was waiting for the puchline. The only problem I had with Luke was those stretched out ear loobs. Freaked me out at first but have gotten use to them over the ears .... I mean years. F the haters Luke. You seem like a cool dude.

[@donewiththis-2012]

Luke knocking it out of the park again. Another great video about the ancillary things around the hobby. Great work

[@stinkyham9050]

I actually built my own hobby desk a year ago. I used 3/4" sanded plywood but the best part was I paid a maker space owner to CNC out some 1/2" MFD to a design I drew up on Fusion 360. It was a giant Imperial Galactic Empire Symbol from Star Wars and then pieces on all the sides to look like the halls of the Death Star. I painted it all with an Imperal grey over white and the symbol is black. It's so Star Wars it hurts. I love it.

[@BenjisHobbies]

Great video man. New studio is looking swish!

[@lnrmodels]

New space looks great Luke!

[@BrickworksDK]

I used to have a setup like yours, but eventually gave up on it as I found Kallax too tall to sit and too low to stand. No matter what I did, I ended up with backpains. I eventually bought a table with variable height, and have enjoyed both sitting and standing while working ever since. So in my opinion, no matter what else you want as part of your setup, such a table is an absolute must-have. It will save you an awful lot of backpain over the years.

[@nickmills4890]

great idea using the kalax as a desk. I will remember this for the future as my old desk won't survive another move!!! nice one and thats a cracking studio space

[@Berserkerworks]

Great setup, and whatever you are paying your lighting model you need to double it, they did stole the scene!

[@charlesc1583]

Oh, lord the REAR shoot lol. Good set up.

[@s.j.52]

Wow your hobby area is somuch bigger from what it was couple years ago so nice, so happy for you. Like always keep it up luke. 😊 🎼🎶🎵🎵

[@jmc7034]

I’ve got hobby zone and they’re great for what ever size hobby space you have. Nice interesting vid

[@40emperor10]

I was looking at Kallax to make a war table for the games room. but it was too low for me . I dreaded bending over like that when playing. So eventually I bought two huge display tables from a craftsstore. My war table now stands at a comfortable 105 cm. But if you want you can very easily make a huge crafting table/ wargames table from a couple of Kallax and some OSB/MDF sheets. maybe some wheels. idk.

[@LouieLovesMinis]

Now this is making me seriously consider wall mounted stands as well

[@rileykairc]

I just bought some kitchen base units and a sheet of 3/4 ply wood and varnished it for a bit of protection for my work bench in my craft room worked very well a very happy with it office chairs are stupidly expensive, am going to do the same for my shed it's where I do spraying and workshop stuff but loved what you have done

[@iskog.831]

[@euansmith3699]

That was interesting and informative, and your tone is so nicely upbeat. I like that you are rocking the full-on Ogre Kingdom look with the new hair cut.

[@kerryviens7049]

Love your videos man. Your passion for this hobby comes across as genuine. Very cool vibes. Always feel good watching your vids.

[@MustContainMinis]

Great tour of your work area. Thanks so much for sharing. Love the lighting mounts. I have a hobby area coming to set up in the next 6 months or so, so I appreciate watching your video for possible ideas. Thanks again!

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Nice layout, love having those light stands off the floor I bet.

[@DavesMiniMenagerie]

Such a dope setup, the struggle is real in my London flat to have enough painting space let alone space to film

[@kurtkyre]

Wow, Luke... that is seriously cool! I went to a charity shop and saw an old office desk with a sign that read: Make Offer. (they had several on offer) I offered $15, and the guy said, "For that price you can have two of them."

[@AnythingButOnes]

Love it. Being able to see behind the scenes is excellent.

[@KeldonRaven]

Looks like the new space has started off well. Nice one! I wish I had both the space and the budget for such a slick hobby zone

[@alanshroue7]

I've had to set up an office and ive used this method for a work/ hobby desk in as a corner unit fitted into a room. A bit of rostering and i think its great

[@alaricdebalaison2231]

Pretty cool informations, thanks a lot. Ikea rocks ! I'm using some Kallax too for my hobby office and Billy of course too.

[@xenoserum]

For me I went to B&Q and got kitchen units and then a unit top to go over it as I'm tall and have a shot back it makes it nice to stand next to and good to sit next too.

[@Chris-BognorRegis]

Brilliant video Luke, loving the hobby space, lovely atmosphere to settle down and enjoy your hobby, well done mate. Regards Chris

[@USALibertarian]

[@davidrickey8841]

Very nice setup. We just move into a smaller house and have been trying to figure out the best use of space for the new craft room. I'm probably going to have to steal some of these ideas.

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Lovely work man, great set up. Can't wait to get over and ruin it! 😀

[@jeffreykershner440]

I used the same setup for my work-from-home /hobby room. I built some 6” risers out of MDF to get the height correct, but that's just a bit o extra storage. My area is only 5x8 (former walk in closet), and still has my clothes too.

[@RavensMinis]

Thanks so much for this! Just what I've been looking for! I already have the kallax cubes in my studio, however I need a desk space in the new space when moving next year and always wondered how to make that work with the furniture I've already got. So thank you!

[@tokrakcrafts967]

Propably i have to move some time in the near future, its good to see other people's set ups.

[@alfredpotts6136]

One thing about Kallax is that they seem to drop colours quite regularly, we found that when we went to get some cupboard and drawer inserts to match those we already had, they'd discontinued them! B&Q also do similar stuff that isn't too different in price.

[@DD-lm1gv]

Also check online local auctions if you're in a big city. Lots of businesses are going under because of the lockdowns. Office furniture can be had on the cheap.

[@SwordsandBrushes]

Great video man, and really well timed - I literally was thinking of changing my studio yesterday! I have my painting area, camera setup and terrain/ airbrush area to now add in - plus storage! I either need to do a good change around or take over the garage!! haha have a great weekend dude and look forward to the next video :):):)

[@Phoenixknight79]

great ideas there..... but what I've been wondering about is what ever came about of that massive railroad you were helping that guy do the scenery with..

[@gazzasstuff9419]

I use the same bench tops with Ikea draws at each end. cheep and works great and is about the same high as your setup. Most of my room is made up of the old stock/display stuff. Dos the job for me.

[@RayCase]

[@Greentreeanduril]

Got to tell you this mate, I have those strip lights across the back of my desk, they look great but do yourself a favour and stick a bit of gorilla tape over the corners where it can’t be seen. Trust me the strip lights fall off all the time and it’s a pain in the arse to put em back on every couple of days. Awesome setup and a great message at the end about supporting the smaller retail stores. 👍🏻

[@Greentreeanduril]

@@GeekGamingScenics Cheers mate. To be honest I can’t make my mind up on what to start on next. Got loads of stuff to build and paint but since I joined Facebook I keep seeing what people are up to and thinking I’ll try that, no I’ll try that. Very inspiring seeing what people are up to.

Yes I agree buying those planks are cheaper than tables but if like me living 120 feet above the ground and relying on elevators to get stuff up in, well Luke they can be a bit on the long side, so no thanks I'll stick with my modelling table I set up years ago, which originated in Sweden and cost an arm and both legs to buy. Cheers mate see the beard is bushing up!!

I'm hoping to get a nice set up soon after years of fitting into a vanity at a wardrobe! I miss using the airbrush, and used to have a booth/fan, which might not be possible. Do you use a booth for it and if not do you find much overspray over time?

[@stefan-georgfuchs9618]

this vid came in very handy as I am planning my new workspace as we speak. My room's dimensions are almost similar to yours, so the Kallax idea will make a great fit. I think. Also the idea with the lighting looks quite pro like. I would not go for black walls though. I hear what you say, but for me, it's a bit too dark. However, I am not intending to become a UTuber with an own studio. But I would have to leave space for a foldable gaming table for my Kings of War, Age of Sigmar and 40k armies. Maybe also for the occassional WW2 tabletop game ;-). U got a sub and a like !
