Friday, October 31st, 2008

A neat mic stand from Sam. It retains all the manoeuvrability and makes you feel like you’re in a studio. The mic is just super glued onto the Antifoni work lamp.

XL cutting table

Friday, October 31st, 2008

A husband is a good thing, I’m gathering from these recent hacks. Handy hubby Larry whips up this mega-sized cutting table for his wife’s fabric and sewing business.
He says, “My wife runs an internet-based fabric and sewing business and recently took some office space. She wanted a new cutting table for the space with [...]

Make a Halloween lantern sans pumpkin

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Some humor for the spooky season.
A Halloween lantern
Ben shares his Halloween lantern, made with one 8ml tube of cadmium orange Cotman water colour, one 17¾” Regolit paper lampshade and one Hemma lamp cord. Just an hour or two and out came Jack.

What do you think? Should he draw a Jack o’Lantern face onto it or [...]

Ikeahacking goes casemodding

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Corwin tips me on this casemod in progress by Domovoi, featured on a Dutch computer forum. It looks amazing, as far as I can see from the Sketchups.

It’s based on two Flärke TV stands linked together, with a media center PC, power supply and all necessary cabling neatly tucked away inside. The Sketchups and [...]

Rustic flooring for the bathroom

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Chris saves his pink bathroom with some outdoor decking. It turns out pretty good, with an almost rustic ’spa’ look.
He says, “The wife and I just moved into a new rental, and it was perfect, except for the bathroom: pink countertop, sink, tub, and toilet. Even worse, the floor was 1960’s era church-kitchen linoleum [...]

LCD media storage

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Gus had a new flat TV and an old wardrobe. A little hacking later, they both fit like hand to glove.
Gus says, “Like the rest of flat-screen TV buyers I found out that my old CRT-based entertainment center was inadequate for the new wideness of LCD. Well, I had to look no further than my [...]

Elevated dog bowl feeder for $22

Friday, October 31st, 2008

I’m loving this elevated dog bowl feeder from Melody and Brett. It looks great and sits really well in their space. Pugs are not shabby either. 
Recently I was seriously considering purchasing a pricey pet bowl for my 2 spoiled pugs to share, but decided to give a go at making one myself (or at [...]

Time to put on some new skin

Friday, October 31st, 2008

It’s amazing what new skin can do to furniture. These from Anna of Forty Two Roads look simply gorgeous with new fabrics.
Anna writes, “I recently reupholstered some furniture in my house with Ikea fabric (from the As-Is bins, where I usually hunt for cool fabric pieces). I’ve really been loving the new patterned fabric [...]

A desk job

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Another workstation out to capture our hearts. Martin puts together this desk from the Effektiv range.
He says, “We painted our room and took out the cabinets. When we put them back we decided we wanted a bookcase at the right end and a desk in the middle. The cabinet that had been there was fitted [...]
