How to Make a Truck Bed Storage System / Pickup bed organizer / DIY Woodworking

[@Jamie-Lynch]

How have I never thought of 3d printing router templates 🤯

[@williemitchell9943]

that looks Great and the love the music G

[@jaywebb0113]

thats great. A few hundred in supplies and about $10k in Tools and I am all set.

You don’t need fancy tools to make stuff like this. I made these about 6 years ago without drawers. The only tools I used was a cheap table and a drill. And a 1/2 sheet of plywood.

[@chicagohandyman]

Not true. I have all that stuff, and I have yet to build it. The real factor is how motivated you are in making them.

[@michaelhenderson5098]

Enjoyed the video. I have all your tools and more but your project is more than I need. Just a 2x10 to fit in the GM slots with a couple of tie-downs. During the recent power outage in Houston (May 2024), I was carrying propane tanks to and from several locations to get them filled or exchanged so I could run my generator. Using your idea, I will be building something to make hauling my tanks easier in the GMC 2012. And yes, I have several 3D printers. :)

Thank you!!!

Very nice idea that is well executed. The different colors make it very easy to follow. I'm going to add a cargo stabilizer rachet bar to the rear bracket as well as a few hooks and make the bracket tall enough to hang grocery bags on. With the cargo bar, I'll be able to position it anywhere in the bed I want. The only comment I have is that I misread the plans on page 8 and cut a 3/4-inch hole on my test piece. It was obviously way too small, and after going back and looking again, I spotted that it was actually supposed to be 1 3/4 inch, but the 1 was almost obscured by the right side of the oval. If that's my only gripe, then the plans must be really good!

[@ArtisanMade]

Thank you for taking the time to share this, and thanks for letting me know about the oval so I can make it more visible for future builders.

[@nateb-runs5053]

you should not own a truck if your planning on doing this... hey you should build a storage compartment in the bed of your truck for your purse and tampons...

[@tomhostetter8516]

Thats awesome Al, im out out of the woodworking game til i get a new shop... 1 wall came off the foundation and the roof is about to cave in... thought 2020 was the worst year possible and 2021 just laughed and said oh ya watch this

[@ArtisanMade]

Thanks terrible news! As long as no one was hurt, that’s the most important thing.

[@altoncraven3588]

Very good idea

[@I-Will-Pray-For-You]

Your work is so neat. You are awesome! Could you do a video with a wheel-well truck bed organizer or restraint for small cargo [to stop them from rolling around]?

[@ArtisanMade]

Thank you! I was actually considering doing a wheel well system and eventually decided on this. If the opportunity ever arises I’ll make one.

[@tekviper9]

This is a great build ro have tools at the ready for a job. I wouldn't leave them in all season long :-)

[@loadz77]

Nice video. Great idea. You should tell the costs associated with this build. Your plans are $21 and a quick guess at materials would be around $150. Thanks for sharing.

[@ArtisanMade]

Plans are $15. Less than one sheet of plywood required.

[@loadz77]

My apologies. $15 USD. Baltic birch ply is $69 plus the slides at $27 each equals $124.

[@naif8935]

Does it move while driving??

[@ArtisanMade]

It does not move.

[@nateb-runs5053]

all these women in here are just so thrilled about their purse box holder bahahaha!!!!! This is hilarious...

[@Cap10Bob]

Do you have designs for any of your 3d printed tools you used?

[@ArtisanMade]

Are you referring to the template for the handle. If so, I think I have the file on my computer still. Send me an email and I will send you the file. [e-mail]

[@DrDennis]

I own none of the tools needed to make these. Guess it’s just a vertical board for me.

[@knobbiesshreaded3137]

Two words...milk crates. Light, cheap, and only inexpensive tools required.

[@jesse7639]

Would you make me one and send it

[@ArtisanMade]

Sorry I don’t sell them already built. I do sell the plans if you have the tools to build it. Link for plans is in the description

[@thedoitguy]

This is NOT a DIY for sure. Unless you have invested thousands of $ in machines and you have 10 years experience, you can't make this. I like to think that I'm pretty handy, but no way I could make this. It does look nice. Good job.

[@ArtisanMade]

I made something similar with out drawers years ago with limited tools. Took longer to make but served the same purpose

[@thedoitguy]

@@ArtisanMade can you upload a picture?

[@garybuckley7968]

Would be better without the music.
