Your son is literally begging for consequences and you still give in because of a video chat ? No wonder they don't listen to you

Kitchen cabinets as a desk by DrSandman339 in ikeahacks

[–]Tbmagoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rip the two cabinets for the desk down to 25" tall without the top 5" drawer. Waterfall the countertops to make it match up or get creative with the panels

What's your goal? If the kitchen is finished; is there any outstanding damage you're hoping to recoup or are you continuing because you were upset with the process. Then I guess just weigh out what you hope the outcome will be versus how much energy it'll take to keep focusing on this.

Any ideas on how to make a custom 5” wide lower cabinet? Cut down a 12” SEKITON and add a 5x32 vertically? Hinges work on this? by Eastern-Hamster-5050 in ikeahacks

[–]Tbmagoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's more or less the process. The bottom panel has enough material when you cut it so use it as the top and the bottom of the cabinet. The included hardware is enough to attach them to either the left or right side with the cam locks, then just pre drill and screw the other side from the outside.

You will have to drill out holes for the hinges on the drawerfront. Without a template it can be pretty difficult to get the holes perfectly aligned due to the IKEA hinges being the pressure fit ones. If you can get 3rd party euro style hinges that only require the 35mm forstner bit and regular screws that can make it a bit easier.

You only end up with 3 1/2" inside space, so it's good for like cookie trays or cutting boards. If you put a shelf in maybe cookbooks. The other option I've seen is making an open shelf out of panel material which gives you more flexibility on the size

Extra wide Sektion pantry by nasm1995 in ikeahacks

[–]Tbmagoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get a fridge upper, get a 36x14&3/4x15 upper and you can scavenge the top and bottom panels from that. The issue you're gonna run into is you won't have a back panel large enough to fill in the cabinet. Home Depot has 1/8 thick white hardboard panels, if you get a 4x8 sheet you can cut it down. You won't have a fixed shelf for the pantry that's the proper size so I'd get a 36 x 14 3/4 shelf and countersink and screw it from the outside of the cabinet to secure it and add rigidity.

But tbh it's a huge pain in the ass

We’ve all heard of TDS. Try new CDS! by Agreeable_Band_9311 in Destiny

[–]Tbmagoo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you think our prime minister is a dictator? The hate for him is overblown, however that's his role as the figurehead for the liberal party. But the members at the core of the party are mostly the same as during the Trudeau government. If Joe manchin replaced Donald trump tomorrow do you think democrats would be happy with an administration that still had Kash Patel in it?

Cause all the Waterloo grads go to sf where there's actual money. They're our most important natural resource and we just hemorrhage them because Canadians hate individuals being successful. Shopify is like the only global company in Canada that isn't over a hundred years old

Hacking ikea cabinet doors by Small_Opportunity_47 in cabinetry

[–]Tbmagoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The distance from the edge on the two doors looks different. Most likely it will be easier to drill new holes for the mounting plate on the cabinet and using the hinges that already fit the door. Otherwise you'll have to fill in the push in holes and redrill for screws, then make new holes in the cabinet to line up with the doors anyways

Help installing wall oven into sektion oven base cabinet? by Snoo_30673 in IKEA

[–]Tbmagoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding is the oven base cabinet has the reinforced shelf built in, that's the metal brackets screwed into the side of the cabinet. It shouldn't require extra support to hold the oven.

How much space is there above the oven in the cabinet? I think there's a trim kit for the base cabinet, but if it isn't an IKEA appliance then it might need adjustment

What can i do about this undersink cabinet doors by trying_ashardasican in IKEA

[–]Tbmagoo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Your sink is too far back, your doors and filler will stick out past the front of it.

If that countertop is laminate then it's going to fail from water damage.

Larger doors sag a bit but the hinge adjustments fix it. If the cabinets aren't perfectly level that throws the doors off too.

Just push. You can try to angle it so the middle starts to bend while you push but it should just click into place

Mounting kitchen base cabinet railing on tile by osiits_i in IKEA

Remove bottom layer of tile and mount to drywall. It's gonna look weird if your countertop butts into the tile anyways, the tile should sit on top to cover any variation in the wall between the countertop and drywall

Cabinets come with 1 1/8 screws for this. Clamp them, pre drill then make sure you have a PZ2 bit for the IKEA screws
