Good job on this post by the way. It seems you have a central theme on your blog. I'm still trying to figure out my own. Amazing that you posted this today. I find it amazing that you found my blog! It's about half a day old LOL! I was taking pictures in between and it took me a couple of hours. Also it's quite warm here summer so a lot of time was spend on whiping sweat ;- Let me know how it went!
We nearly got one of those.. They must be handy, only we didn't know where to stick it. Driving them in with the flimsy Ikea allen keys is going to drive you nuts if you get much more Ikea stuff!
Mic: You can do lots of things with them. Could make a winerack in 1 space, drawers in a few etc. We seem to have lost ours when we moved! Anonymous: They are about 8cm long and 5mm thick.

I would think that the big one uses the same but I can't tell for sure. So you think your dowels are thinner than the ones I had but they are still too thick? I'd need to see them and the panels to be able to say something sensible about that mate, sorry. I think if you really have a problem, just call Ikea and explain your problem. I reckon they'll be helpful I wish I had read your post before building my 1,49 x 1, 49 shelf.

Drilling is important for customizing the pieces according to your personal requirements. Of course, a cordless drill can also be used to fasten screws just be careful to not over torque.
Also known as a hex key, this is a relatively simple tool that is shaped like a bent metal piece. But despite the apparent simplicity, this is the only tool which is required for assembling your flat pack furniture.
This is because the wrench is lightweight, easy to operate and incredibly effective. While the tool is available in different shapes, the most typical shape is an L-shaped one. In this way, you can use the long arm of your L-shape while using its torque capabilities at the same time. However, while you use the glue, avoid using it in complex pieces, because once its set, it will be extremely difficult to get it removed.
