Whilst Xan (our 13 year old) was making focaccia, Bob (12) built an electric guitar, that involved reshaping and sanding down neck and body of the guitar, painting, soldering and wiring. Well, it actually took him three weekends to built the guitar. This project taught Bob resilience (not that he was not resilient already!) and the completion of the project definitely increased his ”subjective valuation” of the guitar, which is beyond the IKEA Effect . Assembling Ikea furniture is easier than assembling an electric guitar kit. Bob is a self-taught guitar player, and the new guitar project made him keen to learn more about guitar playing. Husband ordered online the bits for the Beaton DIY-TL-12 Electric guitar DIY "Tele"project (£59,95), but he spend more on upgrade bits. Should anyone want to build your own electric guitar, then here is one option . Thorman (in Germany) has electric guitar kits, too. Regarding the upgrade bits. Robert replaced the original bits with Wil
My husband wants always "TO DO SOMETHING". He is a DIY man through and through. This is another one of his IKEA hacks. This time he wanted to make a radiator cover out of a HOL strorage table (size 98x50 cm, 49,90€). It turned out to be quite practical as it acts as a shelf to my plants, too. We went and bought from Bauhaus the middle bit (see also below picture). #copritadiatore #lämpöpatterinkotelo #radiatorcover #heizkörperverkleidungen
