I am looking to make the bed of my pickup more usable, but after looking at the cost of the systems, I am confident I can make something better for much less. Anyone ever make a set of drawers that they like? I have a short bed, so am thinking about 48"-60" long, full width and perhaps 10" tall.
I found glides long enough, but since they are pricey and I was thinking wooden shop built ones might be better. I have made shorter one, 12"-20" long, but not sure the 4'-5' ones will work out. Any one ever made some that long? I am thinking oak since I have a bunch of red oak sitting not being used.
Baltic Birch for the top, sides, bottom and drawers seem a great fit. Lighter and stronger than most other options I can think of, but again, suggestions much appreciated. I will use the drawers for tools, screws, etc. all the normal things needed for construction.
Thanks
