B,
From the pictures I've seen, just the bottom of the legs have fiberboard. Si if you cut them open they're hollow. Here's a link:

DIY IKEA Lack Rack - Preparing the legs?

Gotcha. If I were to undertake this project, I would try to find some wood with as close to the dimensions as possible. Fill the voids with some acrylic 2 part epoxy-It should come in a caulking tube that mixes as it gets pushed out. Let it set up. Drill out the holes for the T-nuts and put in some glue or more epoxy into the T-nut hole before installing. Then get some spikes from Herbies. I would also use some Herbies Fat Dots under the components or any other isolation product (Stillpoint, Synergistic, etc). Are you sure you want to go with Lack? I use Besta for my components. B |
B, That's a great idea using epoxy as a filler. The only downside would be the amount required. I will have twelve legs that average 7" each. Except, for the fiberboard inserts at the ends there's probably 5" of cavity in each leg, so 60" total. That's a lot of epoxy. What do you think about using sand instead? For the bottom base, we'll be using Herbie's Giant threaded Isolation discs, so that's where we splurged. The legs are getting spikes. My daughter already got the IKEA tables, so we'll stick with those. Thanks for the Besta suggestion. Kenny |
