    DIY Rear Drawers

    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!
    Cheers
    Scott.

    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.

    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.

    Thought so. I have one in my drawers (made by Drifta) and it's an excellent feature. The legs are telescoping tent poles that fold up into the table top.

    Finished !!!

    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.
