DIY Media / Record Console | Ikea Hack | Kallax Bookcase
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- 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!
When you steal Hoovie's garage 90's intro
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!
I was wondering if the shelf "switch" would work. Flush mount dowels...?
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
@@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.
That intro is pure gold. Gets me every time
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).
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.
I was going to comment the same thing, if they are square there would be no problem.
Same here. There would be no need to add the spackle
sportlol thanks! You saved me a lot of trouble because I'm planning something like this...
Can some one help me and explain it better i dont get it
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.
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!).
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
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.
HA that intro was fantastic!!
You could call this series Hackea.
I love this series from you! the plywood really makes the whole thing pop!
The intro alone earned a sub
that came out wicked - much more character this way
It's hilarious to see people wanting records again. Makes me feel a little less silly for keeping some myself. Thanks!
You don't want the speakers on the same surface as the player. Vibration will mess up your sound. Perhaps a speaker stand build?
Plus the speakers are upside down.
okay but.. the *SUNBATHER* vinyl there... soooo good man..
PLEASE never change that intro!!
Came for some 'hacks and stayed because of the intro. Good one man!
I don't even own a garage but I'll watch this because I can always rely on you for some good entertainment. 1:49
That intro is just perfect. Good job guys keep it up!
Sunbather is probably in my top 5 fav albums of all time
That intro killed me! 😂 You look adorable!
The intro itself deserves a like!
That intro is mint
Nice touch with the sunbather record!
I love the IKEA hacks theme, Mike!
Haha, Thanks Seth
i spy deafheaven! cool build man
Love the legs!
The intro is my favorite part!
Ellen's your camera man, whaaaaat
Nicholas Sok THATS WHAT I SAID 😂😂
YES THE INTRO!!!!! Music spot on!!!
Loving the intro, Nice hack!
Thank you for uploading this! Much appreciated. 3:53
hands down the best intro! great project!
That intro is the best thing I’ve seen in a long time
Amazing video and I love the half-lap joint of the base !
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
Dude, this should totally come back
I can't find a TV bench I like (at a price I can afford 😅) - if I can get my hands on a saw & remove a divider on the Kallax, I'll have a pretty damn decent compromise!! Awesome video, man, thank you!
I was just thinking about record player setup what a coincidence
Looks great
Should have cut a backer board while at home depot
Please use a push stick on that table saw next time pretty hard handling your records without fingers!!
Deafheaven vinyl FTW!!!!!!!
Perfect IKEA hack ! Love the finish product.
you got my like with Sunbather buddy !! Great project !
Mike your creativity just grows and grows !!!! ....If you have any tips on hiding the cords, I would to to know them, I am keen to make an ent unit thanks again and again for the fun and fab content as always :)
New subscriber here and pretty cool to see how you did this Kallax hack. I'm looking to set up a similar sideboard / record cabinet / media console and this one looks like it has the best storage options compared to a lot of the pieces in stores right now. Hope to see more cool IKEA hacks in the future!
This is amazing! We just started our vinyl records youtube channel and were thinking of upgrading our kallax, thank you for this!
Honestly I’ll probably never build something myself but your videos are so awesome I still watch! Keep up the good work! :)
Really diggin the style, plus that intro 👌😂
I love it! But dude where the heck did the rest of you go!? You have lost so much weight, you look great!
Nice kaws figures my guys
Watched video. Unload dishwasher. Get ready for bed. Lovely!
Love this series, brotato chip. Bravo!
Intro is legitness!!!!
That intro. Awesome.
Awesome video bro ! I’m super happy this is a series ! Crazy how a little work can make a piece look so much cooler ! Keep up the great work !
Yesss, KAWS Companion!
Best intro ever Mike
These ikea hacks are so awesome
looks good, ive never built anything before. can i just take the dimensions to home depot and have them cut all these boards to exactly what i need?
LOVE the intro haha 😂
The intro is killing me!
Seems like a video of your setup and collection is in order!
Those power cords and speaker cords could look cleaner with some white gaff tape, other than that love it!
That was a sick intro
That's super sweet! Thanks, Mike!
Pretty sweet! I think it would have looked 7% better by sanding/adding ply to the bottom
Might need to add a third leg in the middle as even vinyl records can add substantial weight. I was thinking of using the steel IKEA legs for the bottom but now I think it’s better to leave it flat on the floor
Lol the intro is so cute
Hey Mike, awesome video. Would love to see what kind of ikea hacks you could do with one of their pine bed frames!
The intro was awesome. Very cool considering you were in diapers during the 90s TV prime lol. Awesome video like always. You ought to get with Drew @ Rock-n-H Woodshop for his join it series. We might need to do an OKC makers get together sometime.
That’s brilliant Mike
That intro was fucking hysterical!
Awesome video. You could legit get a Ton of views if you do another kallex video setup for the new ps5 coming out. The hot topic these days is how everyone who uses a kallax shelf won't be able to fit the ps5.
Excellent as always
Best... Intro...Ever
I love the intro.
That thumbnail looks like Johnny Brook @craftedworkshop Nice squat!!! Great video!
Haha mike I saw those candles you made on insta another great video btw
Lovely build, but expected to see you address the cable management. Seems that the wires take away from the clean lines you worked so hard to make.
I made one of these about a year ago but the IKEA shelfs started sagging from the weight of the records. ):
Loved the intro!
Love this series
SHARE YOUR VINYL COLLECTION! Sometimes, I find new music by watching this collection videos.
Nice hack, but you didn't need to cut that vertical board. You can rotate that "+" 90 degrees and leave out one of the shorter boards.
Great project! What speakers are the big ones?they look awesome
Great video!
Been waiting for this!
godammit i love the intro.
Hi Mike
How are you?
I like so much this project as others.
Congratulations.
the intro alone gets a thumbs up lmao
Did you respond to any of the comments asking about the large speakers at the end?
what kind of screws did you use? did you pull them out when glued? The screws seem to be unnoticable and to not spoil the surface, how did you do that? I am a total zero at this and want to make one)
Nice Mike! 👍🏻
god, he nailed the intro XD
Good hack, but what about those speakers on desk, did you make them own. If it is, share that video.
Awesome Mike!!!!
Awesome idea! Looks great!
Sunbather!!!
Best intro ever
