Nice job for a throw-together. I've done some before... I agree with what some others said routing/ rounding over the upper edges, handle for the lid, foam on top, carpet or cloth cover- or even just rattle can color... also, pvc could work decent for the drink holders.
Fact. I was actually looking more for finishing tips, but this was a nice, simple structural build. I'd be happy to take my time putting padding and upholstery on a console this nice
Great work!...I have a 93 suburban and am planning on making a custom console..I'm also wanting to install a floor shifter but have it raised and not bolted directly to the floor..dont know if the supplied cable would work with a raised shifter but I will have to research that..also, my original plastic dash is disentergrated from the sun and since I don't like the weird looking gauges, I want to build a flat faced dash from plywood and clad it with some thin aluminum sheet..some aftermarket gauges in the center would give it the look I want..I've already taken the liberty of removing the rear side windows and barn doors and modified a truck tailgate to create a shortbed pickup...I'm going to make a removable slantback cap mainly for a sunscreen because 2 of my dogs like the third row seat..also since I'm going for a tactical look, the slantback will really help to create the illusion..ok, enough about me..I subbed your channel..thanks for the ideas
Excellent idea, except for the no rounding of the corners, I feel someone is going to hurt their elbows with it (thinking of my kids lol!)....but overall is simple and nice and custom made. thanks for the video
Leo 123 well just to let you know I do know how to spell, but maybe I wanted to spell thing different? are you going to correct everyone here that spells differently?? like phone=fone, because=bcuz. get a fucking life. who gives a shyt (shit) about spelling, if it's a word that is readable why correct. excuse me if I'm not like you, hell I don't want to be you im me and not you. You need to learn to let people be who they want to be. have a phucking nice day.
Cool project Dave. I find that turning the video audio down, especially when I am running equipment, and the voiceover audio up helps. Other than that the new mic sounds good!
Neat video.Your ambient sound should have been ducked down or your voice-over should've been turned up some. You sounded a little washed out. The center console is a great idea. I think you need to run a router to round all the exterior upper edges, and do some more sanding to to smooth it out. If it were my vehicle, I'd want a handle to lift the door to the big compartment, plus some padded cloth covering in case someone leaned on this unit or bumped into it. Another one of your videos featured your DIY tool tote made of scrap wood and short pieces of leftover PVC pipe. I think I'd want some pieces like that attached to the exterior (and maybe used in the deep box) to add more storage and functionality. I think I'd also want the wood surfaces finished with stain and/or polyurethane and sanded.
Hey nice video I did something similar for my truck, did you just place it into the truck or how exactly did you secure it to the floor? Thats the problem im having because id hate to slam the breaks or get into an accident an have it go flying and I really dont wanna drill into the floor of the truck to secure it?
Dave's woodworks i would adjust the saw volume level to almost the bare minimum that way u can still here music if u decide to add tunes And youll be good to go man..
Just the tip, your speaking very softly and the saw is screaming over your voice. I can't understand what your saying "plywood mumble mumble good project for him." I'm curious, is that North American White Oak your using? I love the tunes you're jamming btw. Good taste.
Nevermind, I see that your using plywood. At first it looked like white oak, and this project would have cost about $45 if it was. Good job on the build
hillbilly with a brain right there. nice lol looks very odd but you have to put on some kind of material over the wood. Are you really gunna leave it like that?

This helped and inspired me to build my own. Yours looks awesome! I appreciate the video! Now on to mine.
Frame wise, very nice. Functional. Just adding some soft material to the outside to be wrapped would take it to the next level. Good job.
Fact. I was actually looking more for finishing tips, but this was a nice, simple structural build. I'd be happy to take my time putting padding and upholstery on a console this nice
@@BuckC I'd def watch that video 💯
Nice build. Brings back memories, I haven't built one in 10-12 years.
Loving the slayer in the background, took a few minutes to tell who it was with it sped up haha
I'm looking in to build my own but I need it a lil higher for the arm rest, you did a great job my friend
Hey Dave...Inspired me to build my own! Thanks!
awesome thank you
that actually looks good. I would of just wrapped it in that subwoofer box material. That slide tray was good idea.
i like how you build this console give some ideas and how to build my own. thanks for this video
Audio was great and console was very nice
sounded fine, mate.
for a throw together, looks good. I like the slider tray.
thank you
Turned out good bro!

Thank you, and Sounds like a fun build. I got rid of the suburban a few years ago for a newer family car..
Well done .
Great foundation. I would have smoothed out the edges... painted the bottom and added some padding and leather to the top and it would have been 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The sliding tray is a sweet touch...and what they said about the sound.
yeah,gotta work on the sound
Excellent idea, except for the no rounding of the corners, I feel someone is going to hurt their elbows with it (thinking of my kids lol!)....but overall is simple and nice and custom made. thanks for the video
your mike was clear and nothing wrong with the sounds. grate job on the center console

that's really neat man.
Thanks friend, very helpful
nice work man, I love the slider!! I am going to build something similar, thanks for the insight!!
Nicely done 👍 audio sounds good.
nice job...greetings from croatia
That's sick bro!
SLAYER!!!
sweet build
thanks
Outstanding!!!
good job
Sick video thanks!
nice job dude gonna build one also like yours :)
Excellent ! 👍
Cool project Dave. I find that turning the video audio down, especially when I am running equipment, and the voiceover audio up helps. Other than that the new mic sounds good!
thanks,dialing it all in
How much ice did you do before you started sanding?
You can make your mic sound good just use a plugin called Nois-X it makes a world of differences .
Nice made

What kind of wood are you using
2 part ?
Can you make one for my Dodge Dakota and I'll buy it from you??
Hey nice video I did something similar for my truck, did you just place it into the truck or how exactly did you secure it to the floor? Thats the problem im having because id hate to slam the breaks or get into an accident an have it go flying and I really dont wanna drill into the floor of the truck to secure it?
SaskatchewanBadAss on the bottom piece of wood create tabs on each corner or the back 2 corners and screw them down
SLAYER!!!!!!!!!
Badass!
have to put on some kind of material over the wood. Are you really gonna leave it like that?
Vortec67 i sold the truck over a year ago but it didnt bother me at all.
Dick
how is the box supported to the floor or is it free standing?
Freestanding, wedged between the seats.
nice project. audio sounded a little muted or low volume to me. but nice job man.
yeah I didn't have the mic turned up enough
3/4"'s? Could you use a thinner material?
It was scrap I had laying around.
Would you happen to have the measurements?
Logan Karson no its just something i through together and i sold the truck last year
Hell awaits!!!!
cool
Is there a cut list or measurements available?
No sorry
I think its real nice but your not going to urethane it? Paint it? Round off the edges? Carpet it? Cover it with vinyl? It seems very unfinished
It was just a quick little project, besides I sold the truck over 2yestd ago.
The sound sounds good. Is that Slayer you were playing?
yeah,slayer Sunday....
+Dave's woodworks Awesome
cool project dave ... the saw over powers ur voice,,other than that mic sounds good bro.
I can adjust the volume just getting the hang of it
Dave's woodworks i would adjust the saw volume level to almost the bare minimum that way u can still here music if u decide to add tunes And youll be good to go man..
Dave's woodworks my wife keeps asking me about the lion..i sd its mine not urs..;) her bdays coming up in march so MAAYBE ill be nice..haha..
+Joe basementwoodworking it's on the way
great job man !!!
lol i got to make one for my 98 pick up , !!!
mic sounds good, but the volume was a little low. nice console!
yeah still figuring it out
I think it sounds clear, just too low.
Just the tip, your speaking very softly and the saw is screaming over your voice. I can't understand what your saying "plywood mumble mumble good project for him."
I'm curious, is that North American White Oak your using? I love the tunes you're jamming btw. Good taste.
Nevermind, I see that your using plywood. At first it looked like white oak, and this project would have cost about $45 if it was. Good job on the build
Nice projet
thank you
Music could have been louder 🤘
thrash music could have been faster...thrashster
Did you cover the console with any fabric
no not yet I will probably just cover the lid
Great to watch, maybe just not listen to music while you record.
EYE PROTECTION!!!
No we can't hear you with a new microphone
Too much work noise to hear you almost. Nice vid tho!
روعه
I think you can make it yourself, just loook and learn from woodprix .
Can not hear you with that screaming music......
Background music was annoying.
That's a yikes from me, chief.
hillbilly with a brain right there. nice lol
looks very odd but you have to put on some kind of material over the wood. Are you really gunna leave it like that?
just awful
