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

[@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.

[@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?

[@gaojen3365]

It is normal to be your own worst critic. Personally, I think you did a great job, your work is inspirational, as I set out to create my own center console. Thank you for the video

[@benjaminbarker4808]

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

[@ShedBuilt]

Thanks mate!

[@nickmcmillan5701]

this turned out so smooth, i was so ready to go ehhhhh but this was so clean, sick video

[@ShedBuilt]

Haha so was I believe me 😂

[@nickmcmillan5701]

Shed Built if you don’t make the video on it chuck a cheeky update on how you manage to work in the console fridge, interested to see how you mount It with the middle pull out ! Loving the troopy dude you’re tempting me to grab one! Hahaha

[@campbellbarnard-green8529]

I cannot believe how well that turned out. From those shitty pieces of mdf just stapled together to that, well done mate!

[@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.

[@mickwolf1077]

I was thinking oh mdf, but you nailed it (& glue). Looks damn good and useful too. You've inspired me to have a crack at a custom console for a 60 in fibreglass.

[@benmcnaughton1861]

Good inspiration to do one for mine now 👌

[@hunterinternational4123]

Wow! What an amazing job mate. It’s come up great 👍🏽

[@BigOleKrum69]

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

[@4x4touring47]

Great job man 👌 lots of work there! Came out schmicko 👌👍

[@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

[@sweefu2]

Great work man

[@msv25rus12]

Good job !

[@xenawarriorprincess3891]

Man! very impressive and it turned out great! Gave me some good ideas for sure!

[@immanutt4442]

[@ChaunceyBronson]

That’s great bro, I drew a lot of inspiration from this build

[@bush2coast801]

Brilliant !

[@sam_turnrr]

Man that turned out schmick as 👌🏼🤤

[@garyclark2048]

great work

[@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!

[@inspire4x4jacko67]

Thats actually mint bro

[@MrToranaGuy]

Nice work!

[@theold60series26]

I’ll take one for my 60, half size though, and auto! Good one man, great work!!

Looks awesome man. Loving your channel! Keep up the good work 🤙
