Wall Wine Rack, a BROGRUND Towel Rail Hack

I used 12 BROGRUND towel rails to create a wall wine rack.

The brackets (side pieces) for the towel rails come with a plastic cover and welded on metal mounting tabs. I first had to remove the plastic cover and metal tabs by prying them off with a flat head screwdriver and pliers.

Once the metal tabs were removed, I drilled two holes into the bracket to serve as new mounting holes (this was difficult as the brackets are made out of stainless steel – I had to get a special tungsten carbide tipped drill bit to do this).

With the towel rails modified, I mounted them onto a ½” plywood board (as per assembly diagram).

To finish off the look, I encased the assembly using red oak dimensional lumber. I also used a sheet of red oak furniture grade plywood as backing to cover the 1/2″ plywood (this also hides the towel rack mounting points). Finally the piece was stained and varnished.

Take a look at these other brilliant hacks for wall wine racks

HUTTEN wall mounted wine rack

The IKEA HUTTEN 9-bottle wine rack reconfigured into a wall mounted side-on wine rack. Yes, you lose some storage, as in you’ll only get to store 6 instead of 9 bottles in one HUTTEN. But if you want a slim rack, this is the way to go. See full tutorial here.

discreet wine rack

No space but still want to sneak in a wine rack? Look no further than a picture ledge, like the RIBBA (discontinued) or MOSSLANDA. Attach the picture ledge aligned to the edge of an alcove and voilà, you get a rack that’s almost invisible. See more here.

Grundtal towel rail wine rack

You like Marko’s hack but you’re not sure you’re capable of all that hacking? Try this minimalist version for size. This uses the GRUNDTAL towel rail instead of the BROGRUND. See the details here.

SKÅDIS: 5 ways to make the IKEA pegboard even better

IKEA introduced its own pegboard system, SKÅDIS, two years ago and I’d say it’s one of the best systems IKEA launched in recent years. I love how super customisable it is, with a growing range of accessories that help keep things organized. It works everywhere, in your wardrobe to bathroom . Probably anywhere you have a flat surface to hang it up.

And they’ve settle these 5 issues you may have faced with the handy IKEA pegboard. Read on for their fixes. 5 IKEA SKÅDIS issues and fixes #1 Expensive hooks? You’ll need quite a number of hooks and accessories to fill up the SKÅDIS pegboard, and Kenyer was shocked at how quickly they all added up. So he figured he could make his own hooks to save cost.

No other materials required. IKEA item used: KALLAX 2 x 2 (77 x 77 cm) KALLAX 2×2 | IKEA.com All you need to do is assemble 3 of the pieces in a U shape. That is all.  If you want to strengthen the structure you would need to drill a couple of holes in order to use the long middle shelf of the KALLAX unit as a back reinforcer. Easy and it works. ~ by Fabio Tudela #2 KALLAX standing desk I choose to stand at work because it makes me feel infinitely more productive.

Hackers Help: How to remake cam lock holes?

I want to put a 78.5” wide PAX configuration in a 77” space for a kids room . My plan is to eliminate the drawer on the right unit, then cut the shelves and rails to be 1.5” narrower. My question is, how do people attach two laminated pressboard IKEA pieces after they’ve cut off the cam lock holes? Related: See more Hackers Help questions and answers . Are they using drills bits and/or tiny hole saws to remake the cam lock holes? Or screws drilled in from the outside with wood glue? The outside pieces won’t be visible in my completed setup so I could go either way. I’m curious what other people are doing, either I haven’t seen this detail in past hacks or I haven’t been paying attention. ~ by Jenny *** Hi Jenny The best and tidiest method is to use the cut-off portion as a template to reproduce the same cam lock holes in the correct positions. The right sized drill bits and a  Forstner bit should do the trick. A Forstner bit will drill a flat-bottomed hole (...
