You missed a step, reloading the spring in the opposite direction. If you don't do that blind just drops as soon as you hang it

Hi, Ergo, no need to use a hammer that will break the plastic clips as shown in your video, to separate the "roller" from the control bar, please use a flat driver to push into the gap between the control stick and the "roller". The two parts will be separated; you can keep the plastic parts intact which helps the axle rotation smoothly. It is a shame that I can not post pictures here.

Thanks for the advice, Howard! I was a bit too hasty when detaching the clips.

How did your pax drawers open fully? I purchased the pax system for a client in February and the drawers barely open halfway. They are essentially useless. I have been searching for rails that will work for months and hacks and nothing has worked. I have tried changing out the rails with other brands and nothing will fit correctly. I even called ikea after watching this video to see how in the world you found pax drawers that open all the way. I know the pax 2.0 is coming out in July in USA but maybe you like somewhere else where it has already come out? Please help!! I need to know where you found the pax drawers!!

thanks, Ergo, it looks simple to do; my only question is according to the video kzread.info/dash/bejne/aJOls5uEZcWsoag.html; the spring needs to rewind in a different direction, however, your film did not mention anything about this, is rewinding the spring can be ignored? thanks again for the confirmation

Hi, I'm a beginner in woodworking. I'm looking to furnish my apartment and make some furniture. What tools and materials would you recommend for making furniture easily? Do you think I should use MDF, plywood, or some other material?
@ergobuildsАй бұрын
I suggest going with plywood as it's solid and easy to install/uninstall. For tools, you'll want a table saw to help you make straight cuts, plus drill/driver, and a pocket hole jig for assembly. These should be enough to get you started on a simple project. You can also check my first real furniture build kzread.info/dash/bejne/dYGG0MqAftGdoLQ.html which only use the tool I mentioned above.

Mini fridge is a good idea! The challenge is finding a top-open one that matches the size of the compartment.
@L4G0ss3Ай бұрын
For the Hiden storage, you could take avantage of that space to add devices charging. Either with having everything hidden with a slot on the back to have the wire able to come out, or add on top a couple charging ports(this would probably break the minimalist look by having it visible. If you are able, you can had a wireless charging spot also. Some can be hidden and some can be visible. Would had some additionnal fonctionnality to it.

@ergobuildsАй бұрын
The 3/4 inch mahogany, which is 11.25 inches wide, cost $20 per linear foot. I used 4.25 feet, totaling $85 which is the most "expensive" part of the build.

MDF as the structural body is a strong and inexpensive choice for something that is mostly hidden. But my biggest takeaway was the use of the DIY table saw stand doing double duty as a work bench.

Really cool. I will emulate for sure. Do you think a fixed base would add the value of preventing items from getting under the wood and creating chaos? Is that an issue?

Having a fixed base definitely helps, but it would require more materials. I have a very snug and tight fit, which usually works fine. The only issue I've encountered is with the knife, as it's quite thin.
