Ikea hacking?!

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

I’ve always been a fan of the ikeahackers blogspot site, I love build myself things, make wood handworks, and so on.

In order to have the possibility of writing something about it, well, I broke my bed… Yes, you read correctly: I broke my bed. Well, not really intentionally… anyway, it happens, no matter why… That’s how looked my bed in his bad state:

So, convinced that I’m too much “penniless” to buy a new shiny bed, I’ve really hacked it in order to have it repaired(of course), and even stronger than before. I used some pieces of the baseboard of my kitchen  ( obviusly an ikea kitchen ;) ), here they are:

With some hole, a rasping file  and some self-tapping screws,  I was able to put these pieces toghether:

That’s how the work was going on, I managed to have the baseboard  tied to the bed :

And then the final result:

Awesome, now I can have peaceful rests. ;)
