ANTMAN'S Thread

I finished Corey's storage box today- thing is a beast to survive Kamikaze Corey and her adventures!
It's a pretty basic box- but I surprised her with a wood burning of her doggie in the slideout table, She loved it! Cool. These pics are in my truck...

Done with this one!














That looks as good as you said it would. I am jealous.....thats it. Quit your day job and start making these for the forum.

I will make these- problem is I would need to charge a pretty penny. I bet I have over 30 hours in that thing.
What would people be willing to pay is the question! No way I would ship it either. It weights a TON.

Great job on the box set up and design. I like how the handles are angled. Oh and what are you using to hold your roll of shop towels?

Okay. How are you supporting the table top? This was one thing I really wanted to do on my cargo box, but I did not find a good solution...

The table is the same length as the drawers. It's mostly just squeezed between the bottom of the drawer and the bottom of the cubby for the drawer. However... he routed in two channels on either side of the table, and put a screw on each edge of the table so it sort of sits in a channel. As the Table loosens in the channel I will just adjust the screws as needed. It is pretty tight in the bottom of the cubby.

Sorry Jeff... didn't mean to steal your thunder....

It's a $2 towel holder from Target, lol. "Overlanding",meh.

The bottom of the hinges support the table. Only the front half has routed (rounded) edges, the back is still square to have more purchase area under the hinges. The key to make it work is the bottom of the table and the surface it slides on must be very smooth and the wood must be sealed.

Two questions...1 what is that cutting board/flat pullout surface made of? Two, how does it stay in?

The table is just plywood with about 20 coats of hand rubbed poly, sanded smooth between each coat. I cut it so when it's in and almost fully out there is more resistance. It takes some fiddling to get it right. I really don't see the need for another slide here like others have done (my opinion). This design is simple and strong!
 
Very Nice!
Where do I signup for the paper towel holder and baby wipes? and is it too late to return my ARB drawers?

OMG! I got so excited about the PT holder and Baby wipes I completely missed......

Made another phone holder, lol. The volume knob holder worked pretty good, but guess what? I missed the volume knob. I really thought I didn't use it that much...

Anyway- this is made from aluminum and painted with textured black. Works great!

I like this one heffe :thumb3:... did you bend the aluminum or does it come in this shape from a store?
 
Hey Antman, I am absolutely impressed. I did a few non tech mods that you had shown some time ago, but have been looking for a shelf like this- Do you have the full measurements to share? I will go and get 1/2 inch plywood and 1x6 to make the "holders" and draw a template, but I would appreciate your sizing to give me a start and the confidence to stick it all together.
Thanks! ( reference to the cargo shelf you built from the headboard of a bed)

Hey Jeff,
I think it's so cute that you and Corey have matching avatars. Does Pat know he's been replaced with a new BFF? :bolt:

Hahahahaha

That darn paper towel holder has grown on me, i know I mocked it at first...

Well when you're at the same place at the same time with the same photographer...... it happens. Mine's better tho.

I am not replacing Pat.... :bolt:

:biggrin2:
 
Um... Jeff (@antman)... your photos are being blocked by Photobucket now. I think they are messing with you.
:frisky:

The rest of the world just got left out in the rain...

Definition of a job worth doing is worth doing right.

I'm in the midst of a home office project requiring poly finishing for the design... I'm doing THREE coats with sanding only before the last one... and it's taking foreverrrrrrr

Looks great Jeff
