Don't get me wrong - it does look posh.I love it - but then I would, because that's what I'm doing in mine!
Very nice - but are you turning it into a boat? Where are you going with this project? (!)
That looks great. You're inspiring me to try something similar. I love it.Made some progress today,
Cutting in around the rear lights
Coming together
Top of the storage cabinet cut to size and offered up
Offering up the template for the storage box lid
Bottom frame of the storage box in place
Forming up the sloping side and cutting out a template
If you want the whole face to open then it has to be hinged at the top - but hinging at the bottom is much better for all the other reasons... And that means that as it can't be full width you'll have a couple of nooks in the top corners. They could be handy, or not. Split it into two full width compartments, each with a bottom hinge - the top one having chains as on the tailgate.
Have you considered having two (admittedly short) drawers? Or a combination of the two?
Absolutely amazing!! Is woodworking your profession?
