  • I hated our fake wood-toned Ikea Kallax so much and now I don't hate it anymore.
    Watch the video to learn stuff. Like how to paint IKEA laminate furniture without sanding, and how to get the look of cane (rattan or whatever) at a fraction of the cost.

      Oh please, circular saws are cheap as heck and even a brand new table saw is only going to be like $600-1000. And that's *new*, you don't have to get it new.
      It's silly to act like owning a tool is some big sin. Go on your local resale pages and you'll see how easy it is to pick stuff up for cheap.

      ​@@PoshPennieshi Vivien,
      I can give you one hint for the doors.
      If you get wallpaper glue and soak the burlap in it after drying it will be like hard panel.
      It will not be a flimsy fabric.
      We used to make chandeliers with rope ,beach ball ,and wallpaper glue.
      When it dries we deflate the ball and cut with scissors the shape of the chandelier the way we like it.

  • @rockshot100
    @rockshot100 2 роки тому +48

    I have been stretching fabric for years. A small tip is to dampen the burlap with a spray bottle. Keep watch on your warp and weft and don't over stretch, just a slight amount of tension before you staple. This way, you have a taught drumlike finish to the burlap, when dry.
    A tiny amount of wood glue or even Elmers, on the inside edge is also a good idea.
    This is so great, and love the "feet", they really do lighten it.
    HD would also cut you a "Luan" backer board. 1/2" smaller than the actual dimension of the back so you have 1/4" shy, all the way around. 😍

    The bottom hinge was ingenious since you didn’t want to start over. For me, however, it would be a pain to deal with. Thanks for sharing. If I try this, I will take the lesson you learned and will hopefully be able to get the hinges installed on the side, not bottom. Came out great! 👏

    Instead of having the doors fold down and combined, you could have placed small hinges between the two doors in place of the brackets to create a folding door while still using the magnets but it would allow the doors to open to the side and improve efficiency and usability.
