Made on a Glowforge

Yeah, it’s a bummer. Although, if we did live closer to the store, it would be very bad on my bank account haha

Just looked up nearest IKEA to me - how about 4 hrs and in another state! Google said I could fly there in 1.5 hrs (once I got to the big airport which is over an hour away) :rofl:

OOOOOOOH, that’s a bummer. I live in Southern Ohio and the nearest one is in West Chester or there’s one in Columbus, but, I prefer the West Chester (near Cincinnati) store much better

Ikea won’t ship?

Yeah order the legs online and get 3/4 plywood cut to size at Home Depot. Done.

But then you don’t get the experience of wandering through an endless hallway connecting incongruous rooms while the scent of meatballs slowly drives you insane!

I checked and it was going to cost $200 for shipping to my house. I’ll just make something lol

The legs are cheap and should ship inexpensively…

I was actually seeing what shipping would cost on an actual unit. Can’t remember which one. But, I’ll use my temporary solution and go to Ikea in a couple weeks

It’s so nice to see a successful setup and first print. Glad the Glowforge is working out for you. Looking forward to see your next prints!

I have gone through a number of sheets of 1/4 in oak ply from Lowes and 8 feet = 96 inches and 5 x 19 is 95 inches leaving enough room for saw kerf, As I have a Pro I just buy the 5 pieces at 19"x 48" and just use what I need.

If you check out Boxes.py you can design many shapes that can have crossed fingers that I have a finger and space = the material thickness and look like quoins on a building, however, the result is extremely strong as you would expect with such interlocked dovetailing and from that make any extended size you wish.

So I’m not sure what Ikea’s problem was, but, I added 6 of the table tops and 6 sets of 4" legs, and shipping is only $10… go home Ikea, you’re drunk

Congrats on getting up and running. Glad you were able to get your shipping costs worked out on IKEA. I’m about 6 miles from West Chester IKEA.

We go in with purpose … and power walk to the area we want or need. Even then it can be a long visit.

I am incapable of this. Too prone to “ooh, what else could you do with one of those?” sorts of distractions. (Ikea hacks are one of my favorite rabbit holes!)

I was that way the first half a dozen times. :slight_smile: Now, I just want to get back to get a project going, or get the IKEA purchase put together. :slight_smile:
