IKEA Snudda Lazy Susan Chalkboard Cheese Board

I love IKEA products and I am always looking for ways to upgrade them and make them better. SNUDDA is pretty in its simplicity, but I just felt it needed something more and a cheese board, especially a chalkboard one, is so useful.

Whenever we have people over and when we’re entertaining, we always put out a cheese board. Everyone loves cheese, and you can get so creative with all the different cheeses available.

So creating a cheese board from the SNUDDA was an immediate idea that I had.

Chalkboard cheese board instructions

Briefly, what I did was:

  1. Sand the SNUDDA so it’s easier for the paint to adhere.
  2. Tape up the parts I want to remain unpainted.
  3. Spray paint the exposed areas with chalkboard paint. You may need a few coats.
  4. Let paint dry thoroughly.
  5. Write the names of the cheese and serve!

The full instructions for the hack in this blog post.

How much did it cost and how long did it cost?

This hack only took a couple of hours.  It cost the price of SNUDDA and chalkboard spray paint – which was about $7 – that’s it.

What’s the hardest part of this hack?

The hardest part of this hack is waiting for the paint to dry!!

I love how useful this hack is! Now when I entertain I have a great cheeseboard.

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.

Probably anywhere you have a flat surface to hang it up.

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 (...

A beautiful design idea for the IVAR cabinet with doors

A wall of IVAR cabinets with doors engraved is astonishingly captivating. Because IVAR is real solid wood (unlike a lot of flat-pack cupboards), it makes a great blank canvas for CNC machining work and engraving. IKEA items used: IKEA IVAR cabinets in 30mm (12″) and 50mm (20″) depths. IVAR cabinet | IKEA.com Other materials and tools: CNC Router How to engrave the IVAR cabinet with doors: Build a wall of IVAR cabinets to your preference. It’s not too difficult to shorten some in order to fill a wall exactly. I shortened the top row to 695mm and reduced the depth of the middle column to 40mm to create a 50/40/30 sequence so that I didn’t block the window but maximised storage capacity. Take a drawing, trace it in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator into a black-only flat design. You can simplify the path at this point to reduce the time needed to engrave. Chop up the drawing in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator into door-sized sections. Save as an SVG. Import the ...
