A little bit of inspiration for your reading corner or office waiting area.

Stool with a place for a few books, and a plant.

Finally found some 4040 hinges that are also 100% compatible with #gridkit. Can't wait to try them out on some new designs! Great for cabinet doors, folding desks or other transformer furniture.

Working on some prototype "grid panels". 😃

These ones are drilled halfway through so one side can be used as a bench top and the other side for connections using an M8 insert nut.

If you’ve got a kid you know how quickly they grow out of everything. Here’s some inspiration for a kids chair that you can breakdown once they grow out of it.

We’re including one of these in every starter kit, and will have them available in smaller sizes for home printing in A3 and A4.

Joel made this pattern that you can layout on your sheet of plywood to mark the centers of the holes with a center punch. It also has lines indicating the different 3,4,5 triangles you can make with Grid beams

One of the hardest things about making your own grid panels is drilling a hole somewhere in the middle of the panel. It’s easy enough to clamp a grid beam to a panel and drill holes around the edge, but when you need to drill one not on the edge it gets a bit more tricky.

@aaaidan Sorry for being confusing. Yep the plan is to use the standard furniture bolts to hold them in place. Here's a photo from yesterday.

New angle brackets have been sent off for prototyping. Excited to test them out!

These threaded wheels make it easy to get your project rolling. Works great with Grid Kit beams and panels.

#upcycling stuff lying around the shed with Grid Kit.

An MDF cabinet with roller door is now a laptop workbench on wheels with a tool storage and the next day I added a pinboard and little shelf. 😃

Here’s a way to make a modular stage structure.

Each unit uses the same parts, 4 units are pictured.

@aaaidan Hi @aaaidan, these are Blender renders, so a little bit of magic to help us imagine what's possible! We're having them cut now, and are looking into powder-coating options. Hopefully in the future the real-life versions will look similarly wonderful. 🙏
