Ikea DJ Console

Step 3Drill the top holes

Drill the top holes
Put the bookshelf on its side.

On the top of each side piece, drill two holes, one 1 7/8" (48mm) from the front edge, and one 4 5/8" (128mm) from the back edge, 31/32" (24.5mm) in from the outside edge.

Note: I don't know if Ikea makes any running changes in the design of their furniture, so it is conceivable that some dimensions I give will change. Double check against the mating piece before you drill or cut anything.

The easiest way to mark the spot is to put down a piece of masking tape and mark it with a pencil.

Before you drill the holes, check to see if they line up with the holes drilled in the Lack table side pieces where the quarter-turn fasteners go. The Lack pieces will be too long at this point.

If everything looks good, drill the four holes about 1/2" deep and screw in the metal quarter-turn studs from the Lack parts kit.
