I watch these videos even if I'm not going to build what he's made. I always learn something new every time. I appreciate the "where I'm at" diagrams in the corners, helps me follow along...

[@ironshark5015]

Oh every time brother, like wise. Always learning from this guy. 👍

[@everettgager4445]

I don't even have a truck and watched. haha

[@UppsalaSal]

The “Where I’m At” feature is pretty cool.

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks!

[@brianpollard8277]

I'm glad you are enjoying the Delta Max as much as I do. I'm actually pretty addicted in using it everytime I get the chance.

[@DIYCreators]

Same here I use it in the backyard alot! It's heavy to lug around but other than that it's so convenient.

[@nightbirdgames]

I really appreciate the Where I'm At info. Thanks!

[@rom9290]

There are so many gems in the video. Thank you for all of the tips!!!

[@haadoouken6285]

DUDE!! You are an awesome craftsman! I bet you get request from your friends and family all the time, for projects and stuff! What a skill to have GREAT VID!

[@sumosprojects]

Very clever Glen by not screwing it down into the tub but rather tensioning it, this is a top solution to storage in ones Ute mate. Cheers from DownUnder 🇦🇺👍🍺

[@cafekat7]

This is awesome. Thank you for doing this. I need to organize my box truck with drawers. It looks like a big junk box. I've watched your earlier vids and glad to see your growth and that you have sponsors. Keep pressing on.

[@zooooooooooooooooooooooooo9533]

The quick charging of this Delta Max is insane. I can fully charge mine in less than 2 hours.

[@DIYCreators]

I know right! Just crazy.

[@sac7890]

Nice to see that I'm not the only one who keeps leftover parts. Great project. I built some drawers almost exactly like that several years ago with butt joints and brad nails. It wasn't long before I was reinforcing the fronts with screws. Totally underestimated how heavy the contents can get in drawers that size.

[@margaretbear]

I just love watching you build things. I always learn when I do. You are such a great craftsman, and thank you for sharing your talent and skills. Much appreciated.

[@CannadyLawBeats74]

The Tool Box Is 🔥🔥🔥

[@mannyechaluce3814]

Brilliant !!!, I can't wait to do one for my truck

[@TaterChip91]

That little "where I'm at" thing in the corner is a very unique and awesome idea

[@eltigredetejas2328]

Everytime get ready to start a project you post a video for us 💪🏿👏🏿and I have the same truck so yeah gotta make one now

[@albertescovedo6386]

I been with your videos for a while. I like how you work and how creative you are. I see you have been picking up Sponsors. Great job.

[@RoughAroundTheEdgesWood]

This is awesome. Love the idea. I have a ford escape that I'm using right now. This gave me ideas to make for my lil truck . My truck is mess now. I need to organize it in the worst way. Thanks for the video. Keep them coming. 👍

[@guyh.4553]

You always do the damndest great jobs! I don't know how you keep coming up with your projects. I especially like the bed locks that you did. Keep doing what you are doing! Great project.

[@wolfman75]

Very nice build!!!! Thanks Glen!!!!🔥👍😎

[@rickschlessenger3464]

Dude you rock. I always learn so many things from your amazing videos. Thanks man!

[@guymartel]

Love the way you keep your projects with the diy guys in mind Keep up the good work and God bless you and yours

[@DudeSawdust]

I’ve learned there is a lot to know about threaded inserts. You should do a video showcasing all of the details of those inserts. Great job, love your videos!

[@jimleishman785]

Excellent job again.

[@randdmoore1]

I love how you make the everything simple for those of us who are beginners. Thank you for your content.

[@alphacampbell21]

This is epic. I love the jigs, the way you think about making sure it's tool free to swap, and the great filming. Great work.

[@chrisdimase6401]

Thanks for the video. I just got a new work van and I was looking for a storage solution. I believe I found it. Looks like I have a project this weekend 👍

[@OtherThanIntendedPurpose]

very handy design. I like the use of the side extension instead of having wasted space.

[@derickcall2270]

Great video. Thanks for your work. I like how you included indexing for where you were at.

[@christophermatthews4597]

Nice box, been wanting to build one for my little ranger, one thing comes to mind to put in is locking tailgate with all those tools in there

[@witchcraftauto]

I don't even own a truck but I watched this entire build! So detailed, now I want a truck just to build this.

[@ataylor073]

hahahahaha SAME HERE

[@waymorjameson]

Really nice build! So many of these guys that build these drawers on here waste so much space on/around the edges (the wheel wells).. i like how you make those spaces easy to get to and still useable. I also appreciate simple deep drawers for more stuff. The dividers are how i would make them also.. no need to cut curfs into the side walls. Your build is again so easy to completely remove the entire system from the bed ..than just reinstall when needed. And the lighting is a brilliant idea!

[@felixreali7101]

love this one. absolutely perfect. and so much you can do with this. thanks for sharing

[@jimadams6159]

Nice build. Good to see another great video from you.

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you

[@haroldshawhan3917]

I enjoy your channel. Great ideas. I built something similar a couple of times. One for a station wagon and one for a pickup truck. I used tracks from an old garage door and could pull the entire floor out almost all of the way. Lol. Of course, it was easily removable like yours.

[@c.a.g.1977]

Like that "Where I'm at" thingy in the top right corner of the screen, nice touch!

[@niceuncamaro]

You could also add cork to the bottom of your draws to keep things from moving around and quite.

[@achmatabsalom8947]

Nice project Glen. Great working tip using the piece of paper as a spacer. That little gap makes all the difference.

[@DIY-design]

as always, great cut, everything well explained, I have to take an example from you 😉

[@madgardener5820]

I built a couple of trunks for my transit, they hold power tools, fittings and fixings and stock. This gives me a good idea for improving my power tool storage. Thank you

[@nigelboucher2014]

I don’t own a flat bed truck but I did enjoy watching this video and it gave me a few ideas for some upcoming projects . Thanks 😊

[@monachinn1576]

That turned out great

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks

[@bigeee3123]

Great Video my friend, concise, straight to the point. One thing you could do is to dado cut the channels for the dividers.. 🤜🏽

[@robinburkey2466]

Very instructive ! It gets my imagination going! You are an expert at working alone. Thankyou for sharing

[@Cobbsdetail]

The only videos I don’t skip through keep up the good work

[@namtr0]

Great video, only thing that would worry me is a break check. Looks nice !

[@mexikanman]

You are ridiculously talented. You deserve 10M followers!!!

[@erikhviid3189]

I admire your skills and creative ideas. Black magic. 😉👍

[@ataylor073]

YOU never cease to amaze me

[@rednaktatube]

The project is great👍👍👍

[@BENABARE]

That "where i'm at" is pretty unique!

[@Meme-zc4cw]

This is awesome man. I am going to build this for my old Silverado. Also, love the Dewalt tools!

[@Michael-cf9lf]

Nicely done great channel

[@syntheticsol]

Amazing stuff! One suggestion, if I may, a little foam in each compartment with cutouts (in the shape of your cordless tools for example) and you can keep it all from bouncing around while you're driving! Keep it up and God bless.

[@LegitStar]

That's a great idea. My suggestion was to put rubber stops on the front of the drawers. That way when the doors shift while driving it doesn't ruin the inside plastic of the Truck bed door/the drawers themselves.

[@bradsprojectsandstuff]

Agreed, Amazing stuff but totally needs something to prevent those power tools from sliding and bouncing.

[@petsker]

Really nice build. I like the idea of the drawers not filling the whole bed, so they're easier to remove if needed. Thanks!

[@rennemichaels2706]

Nicely done indeed. You might want to add a verity of hash tag van life items, since with a few alterations this would work good as someones garage under their bed.

[@gorila1958]

Awsome Build sir 👍👍🎩🎩 Hats off to ya .. WOW .

[@OfficialJohnnyNelson]

Add 4 of the same drawer pulls to the left and right sides (2 per side) so you have some carrying handles when installing or removing the unit from the truck bed.

[@ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣΠΑΠΑΔΟΠΟΥΛΟΣ-ν9π]

you just spoke into my heart with this video. many thanks

[@1BadRAMLimited]

It would be soooooo awesome to see u make a over landing veg or build out. Whether it be a bus or a trailer or the bed of the truck!

[@kliyde]

All I can your KZbin channel for me is the best thing ever excellent work!!!💯

[@salvadorsepulveda6415]

Functionality at it's best, nice project, Blessings and Happy Thanksgiving.

[@HatchettGaming]

I notice you said in a comment a year ago that the price was "Around" $280. However, in the description you put the absolute cost was $280. That makes it hard to trust that $280 was in fact the "absolute cost". However, you made a very well thought out video even adding tips and ticks of the trade that other's don't really show.

[@donniegaskill1836]

Great build!!! you might think about putting the barrel bolt as when you accellerate, the momentum may cause the drawers to slide open and mar the inside of your tailgate.

[@misteritscuz]

Still some of the very best (and unique) DIY/maker content around. Love getting a notification that another one of your videos is out even when it's not something I'm likely to ever use/build.

[@watching999]

Love it… very creative and clever.

[@obnixebellator25]

I am planning a build like this in a month or so. Glad you put out a video. Thanks man keep it up

[@jakeklassen.1205]

Amazing, Exactly what I need in my F-350

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks, awesome

[@anjledube7026]

What a great idea God bless I'm happy to see you and see that you were doing well sure do miss little bit she's got to be at least 5 ft now:-) God bless peace be with you much love and respect

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks friend, she is growing up, I'm with her now. About 42in tall and going. Hope you are doing well it's been a minute since I see you.

[@anjledube7026]

@@DIYCreators I've been here unfortunately I broke my heel on my left foot so I'm not able to walk been in a cast since October 1st it was four years after my accident and I thought well I will celebrate so I went down to the Keys no drinking no drugs just a little bit of water on my shoes and down I went saving myself on my left foot which actually broke it:-( well I am 5 foot so yes she is growing fast God bless peace be with you thank you

[@pordoncojinhoefacetotardio6337]

You always have the best ideas.

[@highrev92]

This is a really cool idea I like it, your videos are really informative and thorough. Keep it up!

[@javierjuarbe9965]

First time viewer and i gotta say, I love the "where I'm at" diagram

[@davidgraham3162]

Potholes, speed bumps and heavily corrugated dirt will bounce that bad boy badly. But a brilliant build that I am using as inspiration for my dirt bike trailer. Thank you.

[@The-brave.]

What a nice job 😍

[@eltigredetejas2328]

Thought I had no need to make one of these now I do 👍🏿… watching this video for a 2nd time now 🍻

[@nadinemjones-ruffin821]

I love this. I wish you were in Massachusetts so I can get some of your talent. You are truly gifted and special.

[@whysoserious7014]

What a PIT . Practical Innovative Thinker DIYer 👍👍

[@timlist4173]

Looks nice Glen. Keep up doing the videos, very thought provoking.

[@dawsonburrell9754]

Great idea man! Gives me inspiration to do that in my truck. Thank you!

[@ciptajatiabadichannel81]

Woww...😲😲😲 Is amazing? 👍👍inspiring for all...

[@DIYCreators]

I don't have the exact price yet, but it cost me around $280 to build this truck bed storage.

[@multidinero]

I like the idea. Yet, I would’ve used a higher grade of plywood and polyurethaned the interior.

[@MisaelMatute76]

Man! That's a steal. Great job!

[@mannyechaluce3814]

$280 ! , wow, I get you $400. + shipping , make one for my Tundra :D I am definitely stealing your design. Thanks !

[@ataylor073]

DAM LUMBER PRICES, lol but still way cheaper that store bought.

[@g-track5065]

Get Job!!!!

[@spike-bubble]

Thanks, great, clean build.

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, Glen! Really well done! 😃 I really liked the color! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@jdgindustries2734]

Nice job! I love these style builds... making useful stuff that really isn't made, or at least that I've never seen commercially available. Look forward to the next video!

[@jakepaquin883]

Decked has them for sale and you can put a lot of weight on top of them. Also there is no gaps on the top or sides for shit to fall into they also latch when closed and have locks on them

[@anthonytessier1324]

Super vidéo merci ☺️🇫🇷🇫🇷

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks

[@graphzaal4398]

this makes me want to buy a truck, good work!

[@tonyriehle6657]

I've been thinking about purchasing a slide out toolbox, but I came across your video.Subscribed and after the holidays, going to get started on my own. Thanks for the instructions and inspiration.

[@matthewharvey8755]

I have been trying to come up with a decent design for my truck. This is awesome 👍

[@johndufrasne1641]

Great work 👏 👍

[@unperrier]

Nine Inch Nails is always the better choice when you've grown up during the 80s

[@RoamingAdhocrat]

ah, Mr Pocketholescrews has uploaded ;) Love the videos. I bought a (very basic) pocket screw jig in tribute, but haven't used it yet

[@briandavern8741]

Another great project.
