I needed a quick and cheap way to carry on all my effects pedals in one case and just plug 3 cables, one from my bass to the pedals, one from the pedal chain to the amp and the power cord.

Since the kids have grown up we didn’t need anymore the changing bed (although I was using it as a storage cabinet), I decided to hack it into a pedal board case.

Florian admits that this might seem a little decadent (though we honestly love the rock-glam), but aside from its practical use it is excellent as a musician’s living room decoration. Read more.

hideaway pedal board

Jason keeps a few guitar pedals with a small practice amp in his office to take a music break. He wanted to keep things out of sight but accessible. Here’s how he did it.

Mikael needed a pedal board with lots of space as well as being easy to take to a gig. His set-up is perhaps a bit unusual but it fits a motherload of pedal effects and more. See the XXL pedal case in detail and view more photos.

Ray took the IKEA GORM shelves (discontinued, try the HEJNE shelves) and made a slim and compact pedal board case for guitar effects pedals. Easy to carry around too with the box top. See how he made it.

Mind the gap: Fit IKEA MALM over a tall baseboard

I forgot one thing when I ordered the MALM dresser : The baseboards in my apartment are very tall and very wide. So, when I installed it, I had a 4 cm gap between the wall and the back of the cabinet which was not aesthetically possible for me. As it is not possible to cut the back of dresser at the bottom to leave room for the tall baseboard, I decided that MALM should be raised. And it was much simpler than I had imagined. You’ll need: A MALM dresser (mine is a 6-drawer chest) Six oak bed legs (I think five would have been enough, but while I was there …) 6 mounting plates A piece of plywood the size of the bottom of the cabinet (I went to the hardware store next door, it cost me less than 5€) Screws White adhesive edging tape How to raise the MALM dresser above a tall baseboard Place the MALM upside down. Fix the plywood onto the underside of the MALM with screws. Predrill holes for the leg screws (if you have the same baseboard problem as me, make sure you measur...

Brighten up: A reading lamp the book lover will love

We already had a MAGNARP table lamp in the living room, but we were missing a reading lamp next to our couch. For a standing MAGNARP floor lamp, we didn’t have space. And the available other IKEA lamps were not for our taste. I already saw solutions with FRÄCK , so I decided to make my own wall mounted reading light, fused with MAGNARP. Here goes: IKEA items used: Steps for an IKEA wall mounted reading light: 1. Take apart both sets. 2. Cut the power line of the MAGNARP to be able to pull it out from the pipe. (Cut at both ends of the switch) 3. Cut the pipe. Besides the threaded part which goes inside the bulb socket you I will need approximate 5mm. 4. Cut M10 thread on the pipe’s end, and drill over the thread inside the main plate with M10 as well. 5. Bend the mirror’s fork as seen on the picture. 6. Mark the holes from the bent fork onto the main plate, and drill holes. 7. Make the electric work with a new switch. (I laced it inside the arm before doing so...
