Does This Look Like IKEA to You? In this one I’m remodelling my home office using Ikea Metod wall cabinets as base units, and as well as explaining why, I take you on a detailed tour of the whole process, including making and levelling plinths, #scribing a worktop, making #doors and shelves, and some top tips for painting too!
No, I’m not turning into an #IkeaHack channel, but sometime you need to take the path of least resistance to get things done. Enjoy!

Love your instructional videos Peter, you are a true professional. I remember drilling into a carpet many years ago, it was an older woven carpet, unlike todays glued together type, to say it was hilarious, as I drilled a noticed the bit binding up with carpet fibres, the drill was ripping out a line of weaving along the length of the carpet like the cartoon style swollen jumper unfurling row by row...I ended up with my grans carpet with a huge stripe of missing carpet the entire length of the room and a choked drill chuck....LOL, I was waiting for the same comedy..LOL

They do tailor the materials used to expected usage and life expectancy, so the Metod kitchen units are far sturdier than say the Lack and Expedit series.

You have a knack for making the right video just before I embark on a similar project! will definitely look at these cabinets. Do you think it would be hard work to adjust the width of one of these cabinets by cutting the boards that run horizontally and then re drilling the holes for the fixings? I've got an annoyingly sized alcove to fill that's about 200mm shy of 2000mm wide.

@10MinuteWorkshop Год назад

If you want to use the original fixings you’ll probably need to get a jig - there’s a few in banggood - or you could dowel them together, or use loose tenons. Or screws if the outer faces don’t show. But definitely doable. 👍👍

@mdeflyer Год назад

Nicely done as usual and using cheap where appropriate but I would have spent another half hour putting in a door coloured filler in line with the doors.

@rikardekvall3433 Год назад

Nice craftsmanship, as usual. Glue and doors. I have assembled a lot of IKEA furnitures and kitchens (as being Swede) and many of the products need adjustment and tighten the screws after some months, because of the season and humidity. If I’m to not disassemble (nearly impossible to dissemble without cracks) the cabinets, I always use some wood glue. Stays tighter in time. One other issue that I have noticed, especially with doors that are more then 600mm I height, they will get a nice bow after some time. The MDF/particleboard ain’t that good quality. An extra hinge in the middle will keep the door straighter, not 100%, but better. MR Mdf or Valchromat makes better as doors.

Sorry I may have missed it but what was the cost of the Ikea doors and hinges ? was it that much more expensive than building yourself ? Nice idea to use something like Ikea as a base to then fit and finish off 👍 Could you lay a large piece of thick paper to draw the template of the top along wall ? We did this for templates in boats for squab foam ( using a bevel as well for the angles ).

@10MinuteWorkshop Год назад

I think I mention it at about a minute in - 'no need to pay Ikea another £90 for those...' or something like that. The shelves and doors were more than the cost of the carcasses, yes, and that's before you factor in the hinges. And yes, you could template it - quicker to scribe it though. 👍

@jexpunkone9057 Год назад

After building most of my new kitchen on my own I have much more respect fore Ikea's price/performance value. If you are a little diyer with a few cheap powertools and a garage to use it takes so much time and effort to even do a decent job of it, for little to no saving in the end. Of course it was fun and rewarding, but RU-vid makes it looks way easier than it actually is. Even getting thing measured/squared correctly takes skill without expensive setups, finishing takes forever without loads of room etc etc etc...

@10MinuteWorkshop Год назад

Yep, 100% agree. I get a lot of folks asking about making a kitchen and my reply is always the same - just buy in the carcasses, and spend time in the fun stuff like doors and end panels. Unless you can make a carcass then fit it, you’ll also need a huge amount of storage to keep the completed carcasses in, prior to the install. It’s a lot of work, for very little reward. 👍👍

Ikea is only cheap as long you don't ask where their "wood" is coming from. Other than that: Nice video!

@10MinuteWorkshop Год назад

Where you draw you personal line is up to you of course, butI ’d say Ikea is as sustainable as the likes of Medite or Finsa. 🤷‍♂️👍

@richardhart7652 Год назад

Would b&q cabinets be ok for a job like this as it means a nearly 200 mile round trip to my nearest ikea

@10MinuteWorkshop Год назад

Yes, they should be fine. 👍

@Ally_Smudge Год назад

Is that a festool rail? The colour looks different.

@10MinuteWorkshop Год назад

Makita. Was the cheapest way to get a long rail back when I was first looking for one. 👍

hallo Peter, thanks for inspiraiting me. Could you help me please, i'm no finding the bit that you use for making handles. how is that name? thanks a lot

@10MinuteWorkshop Год назад

It’s called a finger-pull bit. This one is the T7112-1/2 from Wealden Tool - www.wealdentool.com/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?WD=1%20t7112%202&PN=Online_Catalogue_Small_Pull_126%2ehtml#aT7112_2d1_2f2

what will happen to the little space on the left? i assume there is a reason you didnt use the entire length of the wall

@10MinuteWorkshop Год назад

Tall stuff that needs to be floorstanding. 👍

@SteveMonk1956 Год назад

I went to Ikea a few years ago now, ordered over £200 of goods and had to wait well over an hour to collect them, never been back. Good work Peter as always. Thank you.

Ikea hanging rail would have been quicker, surely?

@10MinuteWorkshop Год назад

Hanging rail? Quicker than what, sitting them on a plinth? 🤷‍♂️

Is that a cheap router box I see in the background? 👀

Maybe… 🤐

@JonathanCampDesigner Год назад

I realise this is probably a very stupid question, but why are you not using the IKEA doors rather than making your own?

@10MinuteWorkshop Год назад

They're not Ikea doors. I literally show how I make them and cut the fingerpulls myself. 🤷‍♂️

@dahlia1452 Год назад

I had the same question! If I remember rightly, the wall cabinets come with doors. Did you prefer to make your own? Great video!

@JonathanCampDesigner Год назад

@@10MinuteWorkshop yeah but I asked “why” you’re not using the IKEA doors (as per my comment mate…) ps. I always watch the videos all the way

@metamud8686 Год назад

So, I'm still confused .. how can you buy 'only' the carcasses from IKEA? When I go there, I always have to purchase the whole 'thing', I can't just take parts (doors, hinges, ...) out and leave them at the store and get my money back for what I don't use. 😕

@10MinuteWorkshop Год назад

Where do you live? Here in the UK you can buy Ikea Metod carcasses bare, with the doors and shelf as a separate option. 🤷‍♂️👍

@metamud8686 Год назад

@@10MinuteWorkshop NL, I'll look into those specifically. Perhaps it's just that particular product. Thanks!

@AkosLukacs42 Год назад

You can buy whatever parts - like only the carcass, or a single drawer without front - here too.

@smoll.miniatures Год назад

IKEA carcasses are made from shite, but so are the rest howdens etc which priced far worse than IKEA, I installed an Ikea method kitchen 6 years ago, and although the ikea fronts swelled and had to be replaced, the carcasses have been no trouble and haven’t chipped or swelled with heavy use. All the hardware from Ikea is blum, unlike Wickes/bnq etc… when I fit my own kitchen I’ll use ikea carcasses and make my own fronts, end panels etc

@custempo3040 Год назад

I would never buy any IKEA cabinet again, a few years ago they changed the quality of their panels and my drawer unit was falling apart only after a couple of months. My sister also bought a wardrobe and the same thing. I am not rich enough to buy cheap stuff from IKEA. If I were you I would buy the base units from B&Q - much better quality and perhaps the same price.

@10MinuteWorkshop Год назад

I’ve had no issues with IKEA products - as I say in the vid the Billy bookcases I adapted were 32 years old and in excellent condition, though I appreciate that everyone’s experience differs. 👍

@custempo3040 Год назад

@@10MinuteWorkshop you are right, my wife bought the same drawer unit as mine about 10 years ago and it is still in perfect condition. I bought the same one for myself thinking that it will be the same quality, nothing like it. Unfortunately IKEA have reduced the quality of their products and it is really not worth it buying from them now. This is my personal experience with them, although some of their other products are still ok.
