DIY Laptop Car Desk in Subaru Outback

[@jrfunk9718]

I really appreciate your Subaru Outback content! You have an easy flow to your videos with effective camera shots and just the right amount of detail in your information. Thanks for taking the time to share!

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Thanks, Julie! I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching🙏

[@kellybrown9169]

Great video. A simple, easy solution. You could use this for work, eating, etc. It is actually something I think I can make myself lol. Thanks for sharing.

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Thanks, Kelly! Very true- it’s extremely simple to build. Good luck!

[@mo_sisu]

Thank you for posting this. I loved seeing this in your previous video and want to make on for my kids. For long trips in the Outback!

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Thanks for watching!

[@villelahtinen9113]

Thank you so much for the idea! I am right about to build a similar thing in my Volvo, and I had the idea somewhat in my head. Now I don’t have to reinvent the wheel.. thank you!

[@ked4864]

I'm wondering if you'll be taking the back seat out of your volvo too... I have a V60CC and I'm curious!

[@villelahtinen9113]

@@ked4864 No, I actually didn’t have to. i was able to crash in my V70, with backseat just folded flat. Even with thick mattress 👍 I guess v60 is a bit smaller in interior space..?

[@ked4864]

@@villelahtinen9113 The cargo space has more cubic feet on the V70, but I think most of that comes from "vertical" space; headroom. The V60 has more front and rear leg room, but the V70 has more cargo space. Odd, eh? Same width, V70 2.5 inches higher, a bit more than six inches longer overall. I don't know if that longer is in the "stretch out to sleep" area or not, LOL. I can stretch out fine in my V60cc (testing that before I bought it!), but I'd love a desk for writing (vs a table)....

[@villelahtinen9113]

@@ked4864 Dunno really, the leg room is actually quite OK on V70 (I’m 189cm/ 6’2). Maybe they extended the legroom even further on later design, V60. Also the desigg is more streamlined in later models V60/90, whereas V70 is more cubical (great for microcamper). Stretch out to sleep area is OK at V70 too. I can slpeep pretty comrotably, without moving/ reclining the front seat. Always test the sleeping conditions of a car before buying - I did too :D My desk design, inspired by this video, is just abot to be finished. I’s gonna be slick!

Thanks for the (how to video) Chase! I like going to different places to work on projects, it feels more productive then at home. Can’t wait to try this out.

[@ChaseChristopher1]

You bet, thanks for watching! Have fun with your build👍

[@fadedcharacter8481]

This is one of the best youtube videos that I’ve ran into. Easy, great looking and exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much.

[@lomontone7865]

Hi Chase, I'm just about to do a mini camper conversion out of my subaru forester, and your videos are so helpful! You have insane skills. thank you for making these!!

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Glad to help!

[@wendyannh]

This is awesome! I love the built-in backrest is the cabinet, too. Fantastic ideas.

[@mysomervda]

Fantastic idea and nice looking table. I was looking at the plastic ones you can buy but they look very flimsy. I'm going to try this in the back of my Mercury Millan so and go for a drive to get out of the house and do some work while hanging out at the local lake.

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Thanks! That sounds like a great idea👍

[@TheAjeads]

Absolutely helpful man, really appreaciate you showing how you build this, I’ll be making one of these pretty much immediately for my jeep.

[@LisaBoniIBR]

Thank you for this great video! I recently made one for my Outback and I love it! It's a game changer! Great design!

[@roscoe007]

Thanks for sharing this! Way better than the cheap plastic steering wheel desk I bought on Amazon lol I’m buying my supplies today 🙌🏻

[@cguti5263]

Chase! Y R a genius with amazing skills! Thank you for sharing. Thank you for ur service.

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Thanks! My pleasure.

[@dedeog1]

Impressed! Very impressed! It’s got me thinking about the idea of “finishing” out an Outback. Think of it as a180° shift from what you’ve done with yours that involves upgrading and polishing different elements of the car; up scaling the car as it were. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your tweaks! Cheers!

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Thanks! Good luck with your project👍

[@ReneaDooserider]

Thank you for the how to. I love that table idea. 💕 Great video as well.

[@ChaseChristopher1]

You are so welcome!

[@tnt5473]

Thank you great idea! Maybe the table is full size and comfortable like a desk on the back seat

[@luca7x689]

Thanks for the great idea.. why did you put the template in the middle of the wood sheet though? 🙆🏻‍♂️😅

[@thesambasoccer]

Hey chase, great video! I just used your desk style to build my own version in my van. Cheers!

[@titogamingmaster9700]

Love this! I'm subscribing to your channel for your DIY stuff

[@garrettlong8245]

This is FANTASTIC!

[@AI4QT]

Clever. Why people don't think of this solution everyday? Thanks for sharing!

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@wslater56]

top job - very elegant - well done !!!

[@msgoddess41]

Thank you for sharing. My question is to do you have an idea for a folding table from one seat to the other I have 2 monitors that I use for work

[@jackprados2159]

man this is awesome I will do one for my car thanks!

[@kevinkrause6909]

Digging the desk! I am in a new job where I will be working out of a F150 truck over 8hrs a day. I’m curious if you are still using your desk and if you think this would be a great option for me? It seems like it is convenient, great for productivity, and a healthy way to work from a car.

[@Eddiebura]

Great job Christopher 👏👏👏 Thanks for sharing!!!

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Glad you liked it!

[@sstihatch4197]

Very cool! I wish I had actual headrests for this type of setup in my hatch back. But, I think this can work. ✌️👍

[@ChaseChristopher1]

That would be cool!

[@kddayth]

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing! What are the rough dimensions of the desk you made? The width x length?

[@andrej_h]

Thank you very much. Great video.

[@n8n565]

So helpful 🎉

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Awesome!

[@teleblack2069]

Thank you very helpful worth my sub

[@carolingram2704]

How did you make the Reflectix fit properly? Did you use newspaper or something on the inside to mark/draw the pattern and transfer it? Awesome desk btw ;-)

[@ashleyrhodes147]

dopeeee. Does your body hurt/get sore from the wood?

[@ChaseChristopher1]

No, I use a sleeping pad

[@liberatingleash]

Thank you for this!🙏🏽

[@nanavango9374]

Helpful. Thank you!

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Nana VanGo You’re welcome!

[@MissDebi]

Would this support a 20 pound electric sewing machine?

[@twodogsdave66]

Nice tutorial. Thanks

[@OlijfOlifant]

Very nice and simple, thanks! But.. wouldn’t you rather sit and work on the passenger seat? (Although I know this solution won’t work there.. 😁)

[@cruzy1350]

Can I make this work in a crew cab truck?

[@mikito2000]

Nice!

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Thanks!
