Instructions for wood and steel bicycle rack

Using your circular saw, cut a 20 x 27cm board out of the wooden countertop.

Then attach a hole saw to your drill and make a hole with a diameter of 5cm. This hole should be placed at the middle of kitchen plate, closer to the short end of the board (see the drawing below).

Then saw the board through the middle with a circular saw.

Sand to smoothen the cut edges.

Taking one half of the board, try to insert the long side into the EKBY BJÄRNUM bracket. If the board is too thick for the bracket, get a grinder and make the plate a bit thinner at the end, so that it fits the bracket snugly.

Lastly, attach the EKBY BJÄRNUM brackets to the wall using appropriate wall fixings. Use a level to get the brackets on straight.

three bikes on stolmen poles

  • But tough luck on finding a good set of STOLMEN telescoping poles (though there are still some available on eBay), so why not try three bikes in a row on an IVAR frame instead? With a coat of paint, it could look pretty striking.
  • Or go easy with a RAST nightstand and make a wall mounted bike rack with storage

Amped up KURA bed with drawers and safety rail

We saw other KURA beds with storage drawers underneath on this site. So, we also wanted the same — to make space for LEGO s and wooden trains under the bed. We installed the additional headboard panels because the configuration of the room and the location of the windows in the room meant that we wanted the children’s heads on the right and the ladder on the left. The KURA plans did not seem to allow this configuration, though I have seen online that there are models of this bed from 2003 that allowed more options for setup. Additional safety features Safety rail panel for the lower KURA bed helps our two year old feel secure, as he just transitioned from a crib directly to this bunk. Likewise metal handles on the ladder. They added a lot of confidence for both the five-year-old and the two-year-old when climbing up to the top bunk. We are aware that the bunk is now even higher than before and both children are under 6. Use caution and common sense before making these modifi...
