IKEA hack - Björksnes - remove unwanted noise

Yes, this is an unusual subject for my site, but it’s my platform so here we go. 

I have a Björksnes bed that started to make squeaky noises. I’ve tried to tighten every knot but in short time the noise came back.  

But finally, I found the noise, and an easy fix. 

When you build the bed, you have a metal bar that goes across. This has two thinner bars that goes across in the other direction. Hand where these meets, there’s the problem. Metal against metal isn’t a god combo. 

By adding some electrical tape around the metal bar heads fixed this pretty quickly, on every connecting part.

Now I don’t need to hear the squeaky sound every time I move.

Have a good sleep!

Subshine website

I’ve helped Ole Gunnar Gundersen a lot with his music project Subshine.

The music is great and he needed also a great site to show it of.

Here you find the music videos, tour dates and more.

Web-sitesystems and brand building

For the second time I had a talk for Norske Kunsthåndverkere (Norwegian Arts and Crafts). This time in Oslo at Sentralen, but had the same talk in Bergen late last year. It’s all about what to be aware of when your starting your web career, making your own site on your own without any designer and coder.

I use Squarespace to create my site, but there’s a lot of different services that does a good job. My message is that it’s just a tool and it’s your design that differentiate your business.

It’s fun to do these talks and a honor to be invited. A lot of great artist at the venue.

Hope it’s possible to do more talks like this.
