Show your home DJ booth (Part 2)

You have probably seen a lot of DIY DJ booths but this one is…something :joy:

DJ booth/doggie crib

I know I need to provide some context because this seems like a very random idea but hear me out, makes sense actually. I think.

GF and I bought a new place recently and we have floor heating. Poor dog avoided his usual bed because it was too hot it being on the floor. Needed to come up with a quick and cheap solution: IKEA Singlar baby crib: 60€

  • shortened it to 100x60 and gave it a coat of lineseed oil, made the dog matress to size with some old sponge I had and sewn the cover for it (10€ in fabric). Cut out 3-4 slats for entrance. Intended to add the top cover because the dog prefers darkness.

Then realized I need to move my DJ stuff from the kallax booth im the office because GF works there when I am free for DJ-ing. The living room/kitchen has no space for that…other than where the dog bed is. So an idea was born.

  • 100x60x2cm laminated beech board as top cover for the crib, another one cut into 15cm strips for sides and all treated with coats of lineseed oil. Total about 50-60€ of lumber.
  • reused an old 3cm heavy tabletop cut to 110x70cm, sanded down and also treated with oil
  • all the screws and metal brackets I already had laying around unused from other IKEA furniture so no expense there

This was a quick’n’dirty solution, fully acknowledging the fact that IKEA Singlar is not sturdy enough for this. Dog is more of a scratcher that I am so it works for now but will rebuild it once my garage is in function as a workshop.

And that’s about it. Dog has other beds in other rooms so he will not be subjected to excess noise or vibrations btw.
