Ikea Granas Coffee Table become awesome Display Case

[Geil]

If you get it cheap enough, dump the glass and get a new piece cut. It's not all that expensive.

Actually I considered that but for a piece this size and tempered and this thickness it will be well over $100. I made a custom glass table for a friend and the glass I chose at the time was thinner and it was I think already over $100

Yea, over here a tempered glass at this size would have cost more than the table cost.

NICE!!! The black looks good without the paint very Professional,

OK got some lights today, but the other parts "line connectors" and "line extension" should be here tomorrow I hope.

 

[ironed]

This system is really cool!!! What seems to be a very easy 4-pin plug in style connection.

 

[ironed]

Both ends of the light strip and the connection for the remote are all male and can put together with the 4-pin adapter.

 

[ironed]

Had to play with them, can't cut the strips until I get the line connectors but you can get an idea of how much light you get.

 

[ironed]

And what colour

 

[ironed]

I think this will be lots of light for this display.

 

[ironed]

You know I had to throw in the Blue.

 

[Figurefreaks]

Wow wish we had something like that over here …very cool.


I’m very excited to see how this will turn out.

ME TO!!! with the light source hidden under the angle like yours, I like the way the light has a hazed reflection in the aluminum you don't see the dots of light just light.

I know Geil, but you are using another el. system over there,
and if something happen I’m pretty sure I get some serious problem with my insurance.


No, worry I’m happy as it is ...but it’s nice to see what other can come up with.

My Home Depot doesn't have the black version of the aluminum angle.

Iron what did you use to cut the aluminum?
