Ikea workbench hack
So many of you may know about Ikea "Hacks". This is where you take an Ikea item and modify, embellish or re-purpose it. My wife and I were in looking for a home office desk for her new job, when I saw this "Klamemmacka" craft caddy. I have been trying to organize my bench for years and have build a couple of items, and re-purposed a few others. When I saw this I thought, "man I could use that for my paints. Once i got it home and assembled I also realized I could take the inserts out of my airbrush boxes and put them in the lower section. I took one of the dividers that were designed for the upper levels, glued it in and voila! Then I stored my extra colors and a few other bottles on the other side. I Like it and have everything at hand without having to rummage through a drawer. or cabinet!
Great idea, Rob! Thanks for sharing!
I typically trail the missus with my thoughts elsewhere while strolling through IKEA but with this, the tables will be turned. I LOVE paying non-hobbyist prices for items useful to the craft- thanks Rob!
Yep! My problem was all the nice glass display cases calling to me!
Very clever to use it modelling, Rob @robertandy
That is a great idea. What are the dimensions of the box?

@Robertandy - just noticed your Shellback cert, I hope the wogs shook with fear as you approached!

Aye they did!
Great idea, Rob.
Looking good, Rob.
Thanks for the tip.
Organisation is vital!
Very neat, but unfortunately I would need about 5 of those boxes and to top it off there's no way I could possible be that organized. I will go to the local store and check it out though. Thanks for posting it.
Very clever. My entire studio desk is an Ikea hack lol.
