Who in the Denver area could make a cargo box?

Im wanting to get a cargo box / sleeping platform made, but dont have the equipment or tools to make one anymore.
Ive made one in my 99 and in my 04 but no longer have access to the tools or equipment. I will share a few pix of my past platforms so you all get an idea.
So if any of you know anyone that could build one, let me know or forward this to them.
The first pic isnt mine, but looks AWESOME.
Thanks in advance

Sounds like you have the skills but are missing the tools and/or space for the project.

Have you looked into one of the local "makerspaces"? I miss ClubWorkshop. That was the one I was a member of for about 2 years before it closed down. Here are the ones that I know of that are still in opeartion:
TINKERMILL
ReCreative Denver
The Gizmo Dojo
Community Woodworking Workshop in Denver | Make Custom Live Edge Furniture & Unique Wood Gifts
http://thelabdenver.org (closed for Covid-19 Last I heard but planning to reopen)
Another option if you have a parking space or lawn to make the cuts and a warm place to let glue dry, you can rent/borrow the tools:
https://denvertoollibrary.org/
https://resourcecentral.org/reuse/tool-library/
https://tools.resourcecentral.org/type/woodworking/
Looking at what you want to build (and having built a number of similar setups myself) You'll need:
* Saw (tablesaw, circular saw, even a jig saw will do)
* Drill/Driver
* Straight edge
Recommended:
* Clamps (if not using pocket holes or nailgun)
* Sander or router to round off corners (sanding block or set of files will do)
* Pocket hole, doweling jig or nailgun

For a set of plans for the 4th gen including materials list and Amazon order sheet. See 4th Gen Camping/Storage System - DIY- Free plans!
and https://theadventureindex.com/shop/

I used these plans ~3 years ago but modified them to fit my needs. Excellent plans for your '04. If you don't need the full kitchen you can just build 2 of the single drawer units to get a setup very similar to your top picture.
