Sometimes you see a "how to" video and realize that there's no way in hell you can do it and make it look good. This is one of those times. Tim really knows his stuff. I know I can't do what he does, but the talk about using PVC foam and sheet was informative for some lesser, easier projects I want to do. Thanks for making this video.

MrKboat, Respectfully, I think he's actually asking a leading and well considered simple *stream of questions that may appear 'simple' when in-fact they are open-ended to provide the builders the opportunity to describe (and connect) their craft and how they how they approach their work. It is not obvious but take a look again this or another vid from this perspective. No assumptions, a lot of information get passed on and an enjoyable rapport. 22min unbroken. Since every one is custom every fold and seam is a challenge, tweek, and opportunity. From what adhesive is used -very important. "Will there be storage in there?" Sure.. but he is deferring. IMO the guy is ridiculously humble and is smart to let the pro talk. Yes, he is not asking, "DId you go with a flat tappet or a roller cam and why not Carrillo rods?" If you notice, his vids always flow well which is usually not the sign of the uninformed. I get what your saying 100%, when he does not know too. He is always sharp to get the subject flushed out. I am a fan for the same reasons. We must have similar taste. FTW.

He's earned that from having years of experience but this can be done for less than 50$ without the cost of leather of coarse. You could wrap in many things tho.

Chandler Gaines I've used everything from simple L brackets with self tapping screws on my first build to custom molded fiberglass/reinforced body filler with imbedded hurricane nuts and L bracket for strength in odd locations where more contact area was needed. Basically I took the L bracket and extended it using fiberglass cloth/ Matt and reinforced body filler to even out the shape. One of them with 4 mounting holes kind of looked like Boba Fetts ship slave 1

Good people don't go to heaven is simply stating that most people think that their good works buys them a ticket into heaven. This is not true. People who go to heaven are those who put their trust in the finished work of Christ and then are born again. Jesus stated himself that you must be born again. You no longer live for yourself, but you have been bought (purchased) with a price. There are no good works that will pay your way into heaven.

Truly amazing to watch an artist work. I too am a craftsman but I've never had the opportunity to work with PVC foam or expensive leather, but I really appreciate the chance to watch. I work in woods and steel but nothing nearly this exotic. You have inspired me to attempt a console for my 89 F150. Nothing too fancy but I have a better understanding of how to approach the challenge. I especially appreciate the lessons in planning. Nothing goes in that can't come out, I like that, and I'm sure it will help me. Since it's my first console, I'll give it a couple of months of thought before I start to design. Fortunately, I don't do this for a living, so I can afford to be completely comfortable with acquiring parts and developing a design, before I start. I know these are things that you have repeated and learned from so many times. You make it look so easy but then that's the difference between a beginner like me and a pro like your. Keep up the great work.

Excellent work! Wish I had the talent to massage leather into a beautiful piece of furniture ! I have built one console in my years for a '93 Plymouth Voyager. Needed a two way radio console for a series of four radios and a controller for a light bar. Made it out of 1/4" plywood and had it professionally upholstered in a matching vinyl leatherette. Had a pair of cigarette lighters on the back side and a drop down panel in the front to hold the fuse block for the radios. It was equipped with a lid that folded to the back that could be removed when in the field for emergency work. Wish I had kept the console when I sold the van.
