I finally got round to adding some new full extension drawers to my 50cm deep IVAR to create an “optimal” custom desk on my landing. The drawer are fixed to the IVAR uprights using custom made supports, which I made using some 3d printed ends, added to a piece of […]
I cant take credit for this, it was my daughter. She glued (or double sided taped) a large Lego base board onto the top of a Trofast unit to make a great Lego Play Centre. Obviously this gives you lots of storage in the Trofast drawers to put your Lego […]
After recently attending a seaweed pressing course, my partner was after a wooden seaweed press that she could use for her own pressings. Ones for sale seemed quite small and rather flimsy, so I decided to make one. Dropping into IKEA in Exeter, we picked up a couple of APTITLIG […]
I’m considering putting one of my ivar shelving units on wheels so that I can move it about in my workshop. So the simplest thing seems to build a platform with wheels, and add some blocks to “lock-in” the uprights. I’m not sure at this stage if these will be […]
Jus a few more photos of my small (but deep) ivar desk drawer! Note the slightly cut down cuttlery holder to put my pens and things in! – it works a treat!

My next IVAR Desk project, was to tidy up all the cables and adaptors then inevitably end up on the floor by my feet, so I decided to build a small shelf that would sit underneath my desk drawers. As always, I wanted to do this in a semi permanent […]
I added a cutout to an IVAR shelf, so I didn’t keep knocking myself out! I think it looks good.
I finally (after being able to get back to my office) installed the IVAR drawers I made. They work great. Using the slow close, fully extending drawer runners was worth it I think. It gives me far more storage, and in keeping with what I love about IVAR, it’s flexible, […]
