HEMNES gets a double topping

post from IKEA Hackers on 10 January 2012 05:34:31 PM. © IKEA Hackers

Materials: 2 HEMNES Shoe cabinets, 2 wooden planks, sanding paper, wood sealer, paint, small angle irons

Description: The design of the slim HEMNES shoe cabinet is the perfect solution for my narrow hallway (and a vast shoe collection)...

Only problem was that a double HEMNES set-up would exceed the wall space I had to play with. Each Hemnes is 107cm wide, meaning you need 214cm for a double set-up - and my wall space stretched no further than a maximum 205cm. Hence, hacking was required. My solution? - Giving HEMNES a new double topping!

Storage: The Age-Old Problem

post from Toolmonger on 10 January 2012 05:34:08 PM. © Toolmonger

Since the time humans have been keeping “stuff,” we have enjoyed the happy task of finding someplace to put said stuff. For years, fasteners, bits, and bobs have lived in a draw in my workbench. For the last year of that time it has been increasingly harder and to get closed — until the last time I shut it. Apparently it really had reached that magic capacity where truly nothing else would fit, and in doing so, the final compression of the drawer closing popped a tube of two-part epoxy stored there. The resulting mess meant I was in the market for fastener storage.

After the trip to Lowe’s for the 22-container storage bin, the resulting mess on the floor was a little embarrassing. For years I kept saying “I don’t need one of those storage things,” or “folks in India turn chess pieces with their feet on a hand-cranked lathe; I don’t need plastic storage bins.” This logic was, of course, moronic and just an excuse. After the glue ball in the drawer and the second trip to the store for screws I knew I already had but couldn’t find, organization won out.

Even after a weekend of using the thing, I still marvel at being able to find my fasteners. It was worth the $20.

Lack Tower

Materials: Lack wall shelf, feet and hardware from hardware store, paint, screws, piece of plywood

Description: My Malm nightstand wasn't working for me, so I hacked a Lack. I wanted to use it as a tower but didn't trust it to stand unaided, and bolting it directly to the wall would make it awkward to reach from the bed. I also needed one larger area for my lamp.
