Ikea hacks

>>1204724
My best hack was buying an old table saw and drill press, restoring them, and making my own damn furniture out of actual wood.

Heh

OP I'm not sure what this is about? If you can take Ikea furniture and cut it up and reassemble it, isn't it just one more step to make it yourself? Or is the hack just combining Ikea items in unusual ways? Not trying to be a dick.

Not op, but Ikea hacks is usually something like combining 6 end tables and two coffee tables and some plywood to make a bed. So you end up spending three times as much for some shit tier product, but all the stay at home moms love to re pin it on pinterest to feel better about them self.

this seems like a terrible idea. best ikea hack: spend the money you would have on ikea furniture on raw materials

I dont get why he doesnt have a mitresaw. Shits useful as fuck.

>>1204724
Looks like a great place to stumble from while trying to reach the bathroom while drunk/hungover at 4am. On the up side, it looks like a great place for fucking women of varying height.

>>1204969
Yeah, I always thought that was weird too, love watching his videos though, too bad I have a cheap as fuck tablesaw and is hardly usable.

>>1205376
I dint even have that, I have a mitre station, a drill press and a fuck ton of hand tools.

Nigga, this ain't "Out of the Box," use proper wood

>>1205392
I mostly want one to rip boards, cause I always have to clamp a board to my table en then clamp an aluminium bar to it to guide the circular saw.

Also, I'd like to make some box joints maybe later or other kind of joinery and with the right jig on a table saw it's much easier/precise then by hand ....

Even corrugated fiber board moving boxes are dense than that

WWWOOOOAAAAHHH!!!!

This is why the instructions tell you not to stand on the panels during construction, by the way.

This is nothing I consider my "best" work or remotely "good", just a necessity to increase room space.

Basically got two of those 120x60cm cheap tabletops with the honeycomb stuff inside, and bolted them real ghettostyle together with some wood.

This way I can sit inside the inner corner of the two tables, laptop on top, and chairswivel to each perpendicular edge.

you're a degenerate.

>>1205442
>bolted together what is basically paper mache

Could probably just glued it desu senpai

>>1205443
Proudly.

>>1205447
Nah, I need to put some weight on this. Besides, the black laminate on the sides is too sheer for a good glueing.

He seems to like doing all his crosscuts on the table saw with sleds. Also Matthias is a penny pincher so apparently reluctant to purchase a power tool for added convenience.

>>1204969

I think he said he doesn't see the point since he has a crosscut sled although I don't know if/how he does angled cuts. They're kind of bulky and only really good if you need to do quick repeated cuts of OK accuracy, like on a construction site or some shit.

>>1205489

OK accuracy? how do you think crown molding is cut? you can cut just as perfect on a miter saw as a table saw

>>1205495
>how do you think crown molding is cut

It's kindof a bizarre process that uses a coping saw and is done by hand. One piece is simply chopped at 90 degrees and butts against the wall. The other fits to the first.

I'm sure there's a youtube video showing the process. But in general it's not two 45 degree chop or miter cuts, if you want a professional job.

>you can cut just as perfect on a miter saw as a table saw

That REALLY depends on the quality of the table saw. You can work around a shitty miter saw and get it to cut correctly, but a shitty table saw is good for nothing but cutting stud framing. And, by "shitty" I mean anything less than $1k USD in cost.

>>1205512

da fuck? there are plenty of table saws <<1k with cast iron tops good enough for woodworking.
who the fuck has room for a cabinet saw anyway
