Description: I thought Ikea would have hanging pot racks (for the ceiling), but they didn't. So since I was already in Ikea, I thought I could buy enough components there to make some... Turns out I could. I'm pretty happy about these... My first Ikea hack.
The Buckla handles come with a template for hole spacing, but you'll have to figure out where to drill the holes for the trivet, since there are small variations from trivet to trivet. I placed the trivet on the wood and gave each rod a slight tap, leaving a dimple on the wood, where the holes needed to be. That worked really well for me.
Cast iron pots and pans weigh an awful lot, so when you are assembling this, it is probably a good idea to make sure everything is well fitted and glued and screwed. Don't need them falling apart!

Nicer looking than what Ikea sells. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteWow. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteThat came out great! I love it.
ReplyDeleteThis looks very good. It's a funny kitchen place anyway. Such place with the windows above the stove you can never find in Germany!! Love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I made and installed those windows. I'm 'hacking' my whole kitchen...bit by bit. :-)
DeleteGreat idea. I used to live near Churchill in Shamattawa. Don't tell me that they actually have an Ikea in Churchill??
ReplyDeleteHa, nope! That's why I had to figure out a hack, on the spot, as I was standing in the store...The commute is too far!

ReplyDeleteReally, really, nice. I wince at the prices of the 'store bought' pot racks, too!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Clean your stove though, ya pig.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Do you think this could be anchored to a wall instead of the ceiling?
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea! What is covering the wall behind the stove?
ReplyDeleteyes, BUT all the pots and stuff that you have hanging there will get sticky and greasy in no time. Bad idea IMHO.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you DIY-ed everything in your kitchen. Did you also make the spice racks too?
