Wow, that was disappointing.

In _Shop Class As Soulcraft_, there's a chapter about the death of the tinkering spirit in American culture, where he takes to task Build A Bear Workshop (although, come on, they're kids!) and a bike manufacturer that allows enthusiasts to "customize" their bikes by custom-ordering variants of the bike or buying bolt-on kit parts. This site made me think of that.

It's all well and good, I guess, to stick decals on your Ikea furniture. I was just hoping for actual woodworking.





Now that's what I call a real Ikea hack. Thanks for the link @alexophile.


No kidding. If decals now constitute "hacking", then what doesn't?


Wouldn't woodworking require real wood?
