I watch these videos even if I'm not going to build what he's made. I always learn something new every time. I appreciate the "where I'm at" diagrams in the corners, helps me follow along...
Oh every time brother, like wise. Always learning from this guy. 👍
I don't even have a truck and watched. haha
I don't have the exact price yet, but it cost me around $280 to build this truck bed storage.
I like the idea. Yet, I would’ve used a higher grade of plywood and polyurethaned the interior.
Man! That's a steal. Great job!
$280 ! , wow, I get you $400. + shipping , make one for my Tundra :D I am definitely stealing your design. Thanks !
DAM LUMBER PRICES, lol but still way cheaper that store bought.
Get Job!!!!
First time viewer and i gotta say, I love the "where I'm at" diagram
Very clever Glen by not screwing it down into the tub but rather tensioning it, this is a top solution to storage in ones Ute mate.
Cheers from DownUnder 🇦🇺👍🍺
This is awesome. Thank you for doing this. I need to organize my box truck with drawers. It looks like a big junk box.
I've watched your earlier vids and glad to see your growth and that you have sponsors. Keep pressing on.
Nice to see that I'm not the only one who keeps leftover parts. Great project.
I built some drawers almost exactly like that several years ago with butt joints and brad nails. It wasn't long before I was reinforcing the fronts with screws. Totally underestimated how heavy the contents can get in drawers that size.
DUDE!! You are an awesome craftsman! I bet you get request from your friends and family all the time, for projects and stuff! What a skill to have GREAT VID!
It would be soooooo awesome to see u make a over landing veg or build out. Whether it be a bus or a trailer or the bed of the truck!
Excellent job again.
Nicely done indeed. You might want to add a verity of hash tag van life items, since with a few alterations this would work good as someones garage under their bed.
That little "where I'm at" thing in the corner is a very unique and awesome idea
U r an artist
Really nice build! So many of these guys that build these drawers on here waste so much space on/around the edges (the wheel wells).. i like how you make those spaces easy to get to and still useable. I also appreciate simple deep drawers for more stuff.
The dividers are how i would make them also.. no need to cut curfs into the side walls.
Your build is again so easy to completely remove the entire system from the bed ..than just reinstall when needed.
And the lighting is a brilliant idea!
Great Job Sir.
I don't even own a truck but I watched this entire build! So detailed, now I want a truck just to build this.
hahahahaha SAME HERE
The only videos I don’t skip through keep up the good work
Amazing stuff! One suggestion, if I may, a little foam in each compartment with cutouts (in the shape of your cordless tools for example) and you can keep it all from bouncing around while you're driving! Keep it up and God bless.
That's a great idea.
My suggestion was to put rubber stops on the front of the drawers. That way when the doors shift while driving it doesn't ruin the inside plastic of the Truck bed door/the drawers themselves.
Agreed, Amazing stuff but totally needs something to prevent those power tools from sliding and bouncing.
Really nice build. I like the idea of the drawers not filling the whole bed, so they're easier to remove if needed. Thanks!
This is awesome man. I am going to build this for my old Silverado. Also, love the Dewalt tools!
I really like the where I'm at diagram!!
Everytime get ready to start a project you post a video for us 💪🏿👏🏿and I have the same truck so yeah gotta make one now
Thanks man bought the plans
Another great idea.
another awesome project!
Functionality at it's best, nice project, Blessings and Happy Thanksgiving.
Looks great, but you away do amazing work.
Great work 👏 👍
Amazing this man can build a house if he wanted too 😍😍🙌🏾🙌🏾
Nice as usual . Thanks
You are ridiculously talented. You deserve 10M followers!!!
I admire your skills and creative ideas.
Black magic. 😉👍
Excellent work!
ah, Mr Pocketholescrews has uploaded ;)
Love the videos. I bought a (very basic) pocket screw jig in tribute, but haven't used it yet
great stuff. you might think about putting something removable in the bottoms so that over time when it builds up with oil and grease you have something that will absorb that without letting it get into your wood.
👍👍very good 👍
Thank you 👍
What a PIT .
Practical Innovative Thinker DIYer 👍👍
I'm glad you are enjoying the Delta Max as much as I do. I'm actually pretty addicted in using it everytime I get the chance.
Same here I use it in the backyard alot! It's heavy to lug around but other than that it's so convenient.
Nice build man.
The quick charging of this Delta Max is insane. I can fully charge mine in less than 2 hours.
I know right! Just crazy.
AMAZING!!!!
Love it!
I wish you were closer to Atlanta. I'd pay you to make one for me. 😊
Nice work! 👏🏽 👌🏼
Glen,
This by far is one of the best thought out DYI truck boxes I've ever seen. 👍👍. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family .
Looks good bro. I was thinking of doing something like this in my own truck . Give us an update in a couple of months to see there's anything you would change.
I love this. I wish you were in Massachusetts so I can get some of your talent. You are truly gifted and special.
Great work man!
Very nice!!
Great build. Love your channel! I would be very interested in a follow up video after 6 months showing how the drawers and power unit held up to the road vibrations.
Nine Inch Nails is always the better choice when you've grown up during the 80s
Ty for this
Sweeet! Nice job!
Looks awesome. So much more room for activities.
Thanks, yes lots of room.
Very nice build. Very clean design. Hopefully you get great use out of it my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend . Keep making. God bless.
Just amazing! Congrats from Brazil.💚💛🇧🇷
The “Where I’m At” feature is pretty cool.
Thanks!
Great video, thanks. 👴🏻🇦🇺
Perfect… wish i have that car and a place to build…nice job 👍🏻😉
I really appreciate the Where I'm At info. Thanks!
awesome job, like always.
It looks great! My big concern with it not being permanently affixed is what happens in a crash? I doubt that 2x4 brace/spacer would be able to arrest the entire unit and then you have your whole toolbox flying around.
You can always bolt the tool box to the truck bed. That's not an issue.
AGREED, but if you're in accident the last thing i thinking about is a DIY project that can be redone. You do have a point to a degree
as always, great cut, everything well explained, I have to take an example from you 😉
Did you make that bed cover as well? It looked like wood. If you did, do you have a video for that?????
This is awesome
💥Beyond cool😎
I enjoy your channel. Great ideas. I built something similar a couple of times. One for a station wagon and one for a pickup truck. I used tracks from an old garage door and could pull the entire floor out almost all of the way. Lol. Of course, it was easily removable like yours.
Add 4 of the same drawer pulls to the left and right sides (2 per side) so you have some carrying handles when installing or removing the unit from the truck bed.
Awesome just what I need to see thanks
You are welcome!
@@DIYCreators you're *
Lol quick fingers, my bad. I fixed it.
@@DIYCreators haha all good sir
love this one. absolutely perfect. and so much you can do with this. thanks for sharing
Zabardast
I love how you make the everything simple for those of us who are beginners. Thank you for your content.
Fantastic work, Glen! Really well done! 😃
I really liked the color!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I just love watching you build things. I always learn when I do. You are such a great craftsman, and thank you for sharing your talent and skills. Much appreciated.
Nice video what are those things holding the corners ? While you nail ?
Great build!!! you might think about putting the barrel bolt as when you accellerate, the momentum may cause the drawers to slide open and mar the inside of your tailgate.
Nice tool box, Glen! I'll email you my shipping address! lol
An idea on adding a small door to the left: Cut and paint a door to fit the hole, then embed small neodymium button magnets around its edge (1 near each corner should do), then embed matching magnets in the surrounding opening, so that it 'floats' in place at the correct depth, but can be easily pulled away by the handle. You can even add a skinny black tether between the door and the box, say a foot or so long, and lay it up on top of the toolbox when not in use, so you don't misplace it, or so it stays nearby if contents shift and knock it out of the opening. So it wouldn't really contain any contents (of course, neither does leaving it open, so nothing lost), but it would give you that uniform appearance you were after.
I would like to see something like this for a car.
It could work, you just have to size it to fit.
Potholes, speed bumps and heavily corrugated dirt will bounce that bad boy badly. But a brilliant build that I am using as inspiration for my dirt bike trailer. Thank you.
What brand are those corner clamps you used when making the drawers? Look like a really simple way of squaring corners.
With the price of gas as it is, how much does the truck addition, weigh?
This was an awesome build. I would say I think it could be even better if you were to paint the insides of the drawers a light grey or something though.
I’ve learned there is a lot to know about threaded inserts. You should do a video showcasing all of the details of those inserts. Great job, love your videos!
I have been trying to come up with a decent design for my truck. This is awesome 👍
You could also add cork to the bottom of your draws to keep things from moving around and quite.
Looks cool and organised. By the way I missed the tool sound when you made it silent 😶
Love the build and what always made me not want to put one in my truck is that other tool boxes are permanent and the way you built yours it can be taken out!
This is awesome. Love the idea. I have a ford escape that I'm using right now. This gave me ideas to make for my lil truck . My truck is mess now. I need to organize it in the worst way. Thanks for the video. Keep them coming. 👍
Thanks for the video. I just got a new work van and I was looking for a storage solution. I believe I found it. Looks like I have a project this weekend 👍
That looks amazing. Paint the interior of the drawers white to protect the wood and keep it bright? You might want to consider some through bolts on the handles, though that is a lot of screws holding them on. That's just me though, I'm abusive and overload my junk.
You can really see the thought process of a work focused build than a camping one.
Edit: The only difference I see is the drawer is shorter because he can carry plywood sheets at a n angle. Other than that is roughly the same.
Glen is traumatized by price of plywood 😂😂
Brilliant !!!, I can't wait to do one for my truck
On the putting multiple scraps to make the shape you need: Just remember, kids, filler, sanding, and paint hides a multitude of "sins". The Cheap Dutchman(tm) in me approves! I can't tell you the number of 2"x 12" scraps of plywood that I have in my scrap bin "just in case".
This is epic. I love the jigs, the way you think about making sure it's tool free to swap, and the great filming. Great work.
Where are you Glen 😢❤
Love the way you keep your projects with the diy guys in mind
Keep up the good work and God bless you and yours
Nice job! I love these style builds... making useful stuff that really isn't made, or at least that I've never seen commercially available.
Look forward to the next video!
Decked has them for sale and you can put a lot of weight on top of them. Also there is no gaps on the top or sides for shit to fall into they also latch when closed and have locks on them
That's really nice... this is exactly what my brother is wanting for his truck, he has that type of truck lid like u. Great work!! I will definitely share this video with him.
Nice project Glen. Great working tip using the piece of paper as a spacer. That little gap makes all the difference.
Great idea man! Gives me inspiration to do that in my truck. Thank you!
Nicely done great channel
👍👍😁🇧🇷
