  • Today on Ikea Hacks, I take a boring Ikea bookcase and convert it into an awesome, Modern Record Console. It could be used as a media console, buffet..or even a bookcase if all else fails. All the vinyl storage is great and the birch plywood has a nice, blonde tone that I'll be incorporating a lot in the future.

    That intro is so 90s and wonderful.
    Also a really great and straight forward upgrade - the idea of adding contrasting woods to the Ikea furniture makes such an immediate difference!

    Little tip for making a double sized section! Instead of marking, cutting, spackling, and painting, you can switch the single shelf with the double and you just have to flush trim the dowels! That’s probably confusing, but this is what I’ve done in the past!

    • @godsbutt3rfly
      @godsbutt3rfly 3 года назад +1

      I was wondering if the shelf "switch" would work. Flush mount dowels...?

      @nasosal 2 года назад +6

      I was literally going to say the exact same thing. Like, for real, how does one claim to "hack" ikea furniture when they haven't even figured out how to just flip parts instead of cutting the entire board? lol

    • @Vanabond
      @Vanabond Год назад

      @@nasosal oof. i feel like he really destroyed the structural integrity of that spot on the shelf. alot easier to paint 2 dowels instead of what he did here.

    I'm a bit lazy, so I just rotated the center vertical board and moved one of the center horizontal boards to the vertical support position. A quick disassembly and reassembly without cutting. My vintage receiver, equalizer, and tape deck are now centered directly below the turntable. My speakers are larger and vibration isolated on their own 2 cube shelf units rotated vertically and used as speaker stands (looks like you have the perfect space to do the same if vibration is effecting your turntable).

  • @sportlol
    @sportlol 6 лет назад +73

    nice!
    You didn't need to cut the vertical piece at 0:52, just swaping the 2 short horizontal pieces with the long vertical and then placing 1 of the short horizontals vertically was enough, it fits in the Kallax model.

      @markythelarky6948 5 лет назад +2

      Yes! I learned the hard way. After cutting I realized all I had to do was use the long vertical piece horizontally. Live and learn.

  • @brianmi40

    I'd recommend a front "toe kick" on the support base to close off that area below. Without it, it's just going to harbor dust bunnies and the occasional thing that crawls and both will take some work to regularly remove from that tight space... Also, because of the particle board that is the Kallax, I recommend putting a plywood BASE under it (like your top), but have it OVERHANG 1/4" out towards each SIDE, and also out 1/4" extended from the FRONT. This can be 1/2" or 5/8" plywood. You can paint this to match, or use an accent color(!), or as you did natural or even stained wood. You only need to apply a finish on the outer edge of this, and about 1/2" in so that no bare wood shows when attached, unless that's the finish you're going for. Just glue and screw this onto the base before attaching whatever support you're using.
    A base like that does TWO THINGS: Makes the unit MUCH stronger to attach legs to (if legs are chosen) or your base here, AND it protects those WEAK KALLAX edges from being dinged down low (vacuum cleaner, I'm looking at YOU!).

  • @69bassdude
    @69bassdude 6 лет назад +3

    Great build dude! You could also attach a piece of painted ply as a backing for the shelf to keep your cables out of sight, just drill out behind the receiver to route the cables to

  • @SharpStudios0
    @SharpStudios0 6 лет назад +13

    looks great i love the simplistic of it but the one thing that stands out that you need to fix is cable management, seeing the cables in the back running all over takes away from the clean feel.

    You don't want the speakers on the same surface as the player. Vibration will mess up your sound. Perhaps a speaker stand build?

    I made the exact same shelf style in my garage but didn't rip the 2x4 down. I ended up with an 8' long shelf that's 2' deep. Works great and very strong even with 1/2" OSB shelving. Even with a bottom shelf just off the garage floor it's a bit top heavy and I secured it to the wall. 2:57

Hope to see more cool IKEA hacks in the future!
