well dont i feel clever


Recommended Posts

so i finally found a practical use for adel clamps around the house. I have hundreds of these things cluttering up my toolbox so a few of em won't be missed.

anyone who has the DETOLF display cabinet from Ikea knows that it could use a few extra shelves. so here is my solution.

first tighten the clamp around the steel frame bit

then take a piece of plexiglass that has been professionally fitted to the case

aaaaannnnndddd voila!!! you have awesomeness

i'll be adding the other two later but you can see the difference in the space between the original and the new one

I've done something similar, but actually welded new steel rods into mine and added four glass shelves. Either way it is a great improvement to the basic case. Makes it much more practical for displaying models, good idea Dylan.

Mine and my son's case (his is unmodified)

The case now holds about 55 finished 1:48 models.

I'm going to have to do that down the road. I threw away all my old models when I moved a couple years ago so now I'm just starting to fill 2 shelves on 1 of the 2 I bought for my models, and all of the ones for my camera collection
