Add more storage to your Ikea Mulig unit with this integrated four drawer unit!
Materials:
- 6mm ply
- PVA glue
- Sealant, paint or oil
Equipment:
Laser cutter or CNC router
Clamps
Sand paper or orbital sander
Instructions:
- Cut all the parts
- Clean the soot from the edges - I find white vinegar and scrubbing brush or paper towel works well
- Sand any particularly rough surfaces
- Chamfer handle area and front edges of shelves for easier insertion
- Glue all components together and clamp firmly in position, allowing at least 24hrs to set
- Sand any protrusions, edges and stains from assembled parts
- Apply selected surface treatment
- Place on desired shelf level - You may need to loosen some of the shelving bolts in order to insert the unit, tightening them again after the unit has been positioned
- Insert tabs to secure position
- Insert drawers
Note:
You could even do this by hand - trace the template outlines onto stock material and cut using a jig saw (or even handsaw if you're brave). Create a straight edge guide by clamping a length of material to assist you.
