    The first half of the czcams.com/users/postUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.

    My husband made these way back in the 60's when he was starting out as an electrician. The last time he made them for his work trucks, he made the outer box with sheet metal. The drawers are still wood with locking metal fronts and track rollers. We have them in the mini van to store beach chairs and camping stuff. He's made me all kinds of stuff, a built in bed with under bed storage boxes.

      Father built set for full size truck in 70s had sheet metal wrapped around them, resized for his toyota in 1980. Lasted until I sold the truck. built similar for out large work beds f350 etc...
      Great build but I do not like how they are not removable, getting ready to build a set for my Lighting and currently planning on using bolts holding bed down to anchor in place because of the short 5'6" bed.

    By far the beat version I’ve seen, beats the £186 drawer runners I was looking at and looks a lot more industrial. I’ll be using this on a van style fit out as I have windows in my van all round so keeps praying eyes at bay! 👍🏻

      I don't have one, but I drill a pilot hole, then use a drill bit the size of the screw head and chase the pilot hole with it to a depth where the head sits hidden. Not as good or consistent, but it still works.

    Work of art. Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship, executed well as can be. I love watching people do something they are real good at. I am no carpenter , I try though. Mostly stuff for my wife’s animals. I get motivated to do better by watching these guys who know their stuff. I can barley get a straight cut with a circle saw. It’s the only power saw I have to work with . I can’t wait to get me a miter saw , band saw, jig saw , all the saws!!!

I liked the way you trimmed out your drawers with black mats. Somebody walks by and looks in, they can't tell you have drawers when trimmed-out in black. I really like your work, nice job on those drawers.

      I grew up in a family of carpenters so in the 1950's my Grandfather had a pickup with a home built camping deal in the back. Nothing fancy but it made those weekend fishing trips more enjoyable with a place to sleep and get in out of the weather.
      Many things our Grandparents did in the middle of the last century were done out of necessity and convenience and created family memories we all treasure today. A dollar was a real dollar and many were not wealthy by any means. American ingenuity is a trait lost to today's social fools.

    You could have used some C-channel and cut down your bearings by half. And that base would have been just as useful and far quicker to build with a sheet of baltic plywood.

    Great idea Chris! Nice mod. I've tried markers an such to mark where I need to drill, but never thought to use lipstick- nice trick. If I think I would use 3/4" plywood on the top in case I had to carry something heavy in the back of the truck.
