Yngwie Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Afternoon. I bought the Bertby shelves as suggested from Ikea and they are indeed fantastic. (Will post pics later) However, I went and got some more shelves made up and thought it would be a fairly easy task to get some more shelf pins. Ikea say they do not stock them. Hmm. Does anybody who has the particular item know where some shelf pins that are suitable can be sourced from? (They are only 4mm in diamter which makes them very unique. Bunnings has no beast like it) Kind Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Davnic. I was going to use pop rivets instead which seem ok but as I have the shelves on a slight downward angle. am a little worried about the shelves sliding.

rick1776 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Go down to your nearest kitchen/bathroom/bedroom cupboard manufacturer/installer. Make sure its a small local business. Ask them for some shelving dowels. I went to a local one in my area and asked for a handful that I needed for the walk in robe. The guy threw me a pack of 100 and said dont worry about it, not worth filling in the paperwork. Quote cheers rick1776 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy, just grab a tin of that paint(not sure of the name) that dry's as rubber, it's used to coat item's for grip ie hammer handles. Should stop the glass from slipping.

Yngwie Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Went ahead and got the Bertby from Ikea. Added a few shelves and a mirror for the back. Fits right between my two garages as well, so an added bonus. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggy Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Very professional look there Yngwie. I hope the lights don't affect the cars on the top shelf! Quote * Avatar used with permission Normal people worry me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick1776 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Good call triggy. Might get a touch hot up there. If theyre 60W x3 thats a bit of heat to get rid of. Quote cheers rick1776 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMR Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Tried that in over here in SA and the cars at the top under lights all turned into 1/24th scale ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimuel Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) I am also fond of collecting some collectibles worth keeping for. I usually use book case for displaying all my things. For shelf pins, I usually use the 1/4" pins - they are a little bigger. I also use those shaped like Ls just because they have more surface to bear on.

Eno the Wonderdog Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 I'm looking at a few bathroom cupboards at the mo. Ikea of course. Good Morning or some such (in foreign) with plain doors. Given the room is basically glass it would be nice to hide the toys from the immediate gaze of casual bandits..
