Real woodworkers are not afraid of plywood. So I use a lot of it. And, I'm cheap...really cheap. So I love making jigs that make things easier, faster, and may even replace expensive store-bought items or services. No fancy tools allowed. My tools are either less than high-end, bought used, or bought at the local home center. No fancy tools allowed......
I love it bc my truck is wooden flate bed and I wanted idea to finsh my project thank to you I want to do it like your .thank you now I can finsh my project.my truck is 150 dodge ram 1500..
Very nice work, I thought about doing mine in artificial wood decking to save me the trouble of finishing it, how hard was it to go from the stock harness to the separate lights?
Beautiful. Looks great. Thanks for the video. It would look great running on these thar hills of west Virginia. Lol . And let me set one thing straight we don't sleep with our sisters.😂
Thank you for posting this video! I just bought a 2004 F-250 with a bed that's been to hell and back. It needs to go. I was looking for options when I found your channel. I think I'll give this a try (or a version of this at least.) Well done. Subscribed.
did something similar to this for a old ranger I had. the center two floor/bed boards tho I put on hinges and didnt bolt them down but used a groove sorta like cabinets so they could sit flush. this way if I ever needed to get at the fuel pump I'd never have to drop the tank. after doing two fuel pumps on my other trucks, I will never ever drop a tank every again. so i wanted to be able to just flip open a small section of my bed and easily reach the fuel pump.
I realise this is an older video, but it might help if you cut a slot in the clamping piece. that way you can slide it on from the side and you don't have to remove the wing nut anymore since the rings can pass over it.
Well, to be honest, I had to rebuild it using pressure treated wood. But other than that, no complaints. I also added "fender" cutouts when I put bigger tires on it.
Tre-wax for me, appears to be more durable than Johnson’s. I think Tre-Wax dries with a harder finish. I’ve used it since 1962, trying many alternatives throughout the years.
My goal has always been to get folks to think, even if it means folks figure out a way to make my designs better. Success! And let me know how it works out.
Why not use 1/2 inch on just the back piece. The back piece only runs against the runner. That way the side where you cut can still be the 1/4. That back piece is even the bigger of the 2.
I looked through your videos and did not see how you made your baffle. I'll keep looking, but if you see this and feel like pushing me in the right direction it would be appreciated.
It's called a "thien baffle." I didn't do a video because others on RU-vid have already posted builds. The videos I used as a guide were "Thien Baffle Top Hat Dust Separator" by ghostses. It's a five part series (really long but super detailed). I think I used his plans exactly, the variation may have been accounting for the size of my dust bin. Don't make the same mistake as others - make sure your dust bin is rigid. A plastic Rubbermaid trash can will collapse under the suction. I used a 55 gal drum, but I think any metal trash can will work. Although the build was tedious, it was very fun and the results are awesome. Good luck.
Someone (me) got drunk and kicked a fat dent in the side of my truck ive always wanted a flatbed and figured id look it up see what other people did this looks great and is exactly what i want to do with mine
