Thought I would share a few pics of the drawers I am making. I have used the plans from here and made a few modifications. Still a bit to do but getting there! :cool:
Cheers

Looks good Scott.

How heavy are they?

Hi Mark

Not as heavy as it looks, I have cut the large holes in the bottom to cut down on weight. Once finished I'll weigh them. I can lift them into the back myself but a lot easier with two people due too the size.

Cheers
Scott.

Looks good. What's the top left space for? I like the black load capacity tester too.

That would be the obligatory site supervisor, every good garage/shed should have one.

The space is for a table Scott, I was hoping to fit a plastic table in but can't seem to find the right size so will probably make one.

Have you left access to the spare wheel winder?

Pretty happy with the outcome! I found the carpet quite a challenge. I havn't weighed it yet but I'm guesstimating it's around 40kg. The cost is around $600-$700 in materials. I think a Drifta was going to be about $2000 delivered and after going through the process it would be worth every cent.

Would I do it again? NO!

P.S I still have to make the table, was hoping to fit a plastic fold up one in there but of course can't find the right size. And maybe put some dividers in the drawers.

cheers
Scott.
