Instruction for sound system console table

Slice the table top into two sections lengthwise. The width of the right section should be 15 inches and the left 13.5 inches.

Also, cut the sides and replicate all originals fittings on the cut portion to connect the table legs.

By the way, table legs are also cut (they’re shorter by 8 inches)

The table top left section is to be used as the bottom shelf.

Cut all the corners of the bottom shelf to fit with the legs.

Use steel corners to hold the shelf to the legs.

It’s amazing what you can do with the INGO table, paint, a few strips of 1×2 & 2×2, glue and dowels. See the hack.

The folding table Denise was using as her sewing table was too tall. She really wanted something at a more ergonomic height and found a sewing table hack with the INGO table. But she needed storage, so she tweaked it to fit. See the tutorial.

What do you do with a stained INGO table? Paint it, of course! Here’s how.

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.
