When you said you have never done sowing I was like oh this might not end well..... but holy mate you did an amazing job it turned out great

[@Buildin70s]

Liking the extra space for the control boxes. Definitely beats buying a console!

[@ShedBuilt]

Yeah mate %100

[@Tuff22_]

Buildin70s you should make one for your channel

[@usmankazmi5329]

Now this is called craftsmanship! Exactly what I needed as I am working on restoration of 70 series!

[@waqarsheikh1376]

dear usman do you know where i can get same modification?

[@cntslesfabrication]

It's awesome that you're 100% honest at the beginning of the video that your new to building/fabricating a center console. There's not many people on youtube like yourself because all they care about is view's and could careless about anything else.

[@benjaminbarker4808]

Probably the most professional build I’ve seen on here.

[@ShedBuilt]

Thanks mate!

[@edwinthomas618]

You should be VERY proud of yourself. Great job

[@immanutt4442]

Greetings from Ohio !!! Most awesome job !!!

[@deankay4434]

On the inside of the console where the sharp corner are, if stiffness is a concern, use tin used on HVAC or even roof flashing. It is very thin and if bent at good angles, a strong staple gun or simple screws can be used. This is a gusset to increase rigidity. Also, consider a rare earth magnet for latching the lid. With a paddle bit, epoxy and 4 magnets (Two for top, two for bottom) just make sure they are facing the right direction. I have nothing against Velcro but over time one side will load up with debris or the girls hair. It has to be cleaned even though you have a friction fit now. It just looks cleaner as well. Just future suggestions as it came out great. Got a sewing machine, do the seats. Headliner material is cheap and if glued and sewn on the back of your choice of material, add that extra softness. For patterns, a home improvement store sell Red Rosin paper about $10 USD. It is a meter wide and 80 meters long and thicker than construction paper. Cutting a drawn pattern is easy to transfer as each can be labeled and held with a stick pin. Piping is common as a French Seam. I use air shock tubing as it is cheap and the right size. Best of off-road travels and don’t forget tools & some medical box… Not for you but the guy you meet on the trail who tipped! Safe journeys.

[@Keithygeorge]

So glad you've filmed and uploaded this. Awesome efforts and result mate. Thanks.

[@ShedBuilt]

Thanks mate! Appreciate it 🤙

[@mysteriomarvel933]

Fantastic job mate! Very methodical and well engineered. You just increased your resale value. Cheers!

[@bigoz1734]

Honestly man if you ever get the time have this as a side hustle because there aren't a lot of homemade basic centre consoles on the market. Most are super high end 79 roof mounted or centre mounted and they cost big $$$ for very basic setups with not much space benefits. This one looks so good and actually utilises the space quite well

[@RichieHProductions]

This came out bloody mint! Might have to start up a upholstery businesses now mate!

[@milesasolomon1]

you beautiful beast. everything you touch turns to magic. wish i lived in oz and could get your help! such a perfectionist

[@supramarco6775]

[@babehasse]

Love that you use the angle tool on 4:02, that tool has helped me soooo many times :D

[@JH-sz8tl]

Great job mate. I've got a 2WD Toyota Hilux and there is no storage, constantly losing things behind, under or beside the passenger seat as they roll off while driving. Have been wondering how I could create a custom centre console and your video has provided a lot of useful information! Well done on the sewing too, I bought a sewing machine and overlocker to help restore some old outdoor furniture, so I know how frustrating yet rewarding it can be when you get it right!!

[@kamarulf897]

Looks AWESOME...I want One 😎 Good Job !

[@chrisboardman5661]

Well done I'd be stoked aswell👌

[@EscormHST]

Looks great

[@jacksneddon2106]

this is mint, givin cruiser consoles a run for their money. You should do window armrests like the ONESTONE cruiser stuff next.

[@ShedBuilt]

I do have a design in mind actually 😏

[@the_mystery9803]

What a beautiful piece. You've made me want to make my own console for my truck ahaha, incredible work mate.

[@Dale_D589]

this is legit insane, im building a custom console for my 80 series and im gonna be copying a fair bit of this haha, stoked i found this channel cheers mate

[@jamesscherer6168]

Well done for giving upholstery a go! It came up really well 👌 Often vinyl will stretch one way further than the other. With MX seats you need that stretch running in all the same direction (i.e front to back) and it takes out a lot of that puckering. Looks great man, well done!

[@benongheen7636]

my guy. looks mint

[@colinross6259]

Not bad bloke. The whole thing looks OK. Nice one.

[@ledmk2]
