hey oh I got a little project I'm going to do
yeah forgot ahead all this crap in here no I'm not sleeping in here this is for
the dogs a seat is kind of slick so we leave this blanket back here for them to
lay down on okay here's what I want to do I'm going to I won't tell you what I
keep back here because it just doesn't make sense but uh I keep things back
here that I don't want to get stolen and I don't want to leave out in the open
and I want to make access to it more difficult than it is so I've got this
board I'm going to put across the front of this all the way across here I'm
going to bolt it to this I'm going to wrap it in carpet that is automotive
cart but I couldn't find charcoal great but I did find black but I think being
up under here it will blend in just fine so here's what I plan on doing and take
this Jack out and keep it in my toolbox I don't need a whole lot of space back
here for what I'm carrying back here but I do want to make it less less
accessible and less visible
I think you know what I'm talking about anyway that's that's what I'm fixing to
do I got the sawhorses out in my shop and it plummeted down into the 60s so I
had to turn the heat on and it ought to be warmed up in there enough for me to
go work with the short time so let's get going
all right I've already had a slight change of plans because the hinge of
this seat is so far from the back the back of the seat really comes out too
far for me to do much with here's here's how much space I would have so what I'm
going to do is add a two by four move this out about that much
that'll give me about 10 inches of free space and that's all I need all the way
across there all right let me get started on my boards I went with a piece
of poplar because I wanted it to be a little harder than just plain old pine
and I got it cut to 56 inches in length six and a half inches in width and now
I'm going to cut three pieces of 2x4 about six six and a quarter inches long
and with a slight taper at the top edge because the when the seat lays down the
bottom of edge of the seat is that a bit of an angle and when I cut these I want
to follow that angle I'm trying to make this look as factory I guess as I want
it to stand out as little as possible plus I have to go till drill a couple
holes in the the brackets that hold the seats the seat mounting brackets I got
to drill a couple holes in them and then when I get these cut I'm gonna I'm
getting ahead of myself I got to cut these and then go drill my holes in my
mounting brackets
there's the angle I was talking about
all right now I want to go drill my holes like brizi was able to get a piece
of scrap wood so Lucy's just a quite offended that she didn't get one so Lucy
here you go sweetie I cut you one special treasure piece of scrap wood one
one main scrap wood is another dog of treasure don't swallow it well there's
the first bit of Smuts on my eye my shiny new floor okay
oh yeah got this built I got the holes drilled out there now I need to take
this out there fit it in take a pan and draw through the holes that I've drilled
on to this so I can drill holes here because I'm going to come in through the
backside with some two-inch lag bolts to by quarter and that will hold it in it's
looking good so far come on long all right that's what's
going to look like
okay now I got a take it in there and cover it with some black automotive
carpet that's the next step I just realized I was filming that with a Sun
on the lens so I'm gonna give you a shot at this side just in case that wasn't
clear okay
mm mm uh fixing to start I just want to warn you I am NOT and a poster ologist
and do my best though I've had to vacuum up all the shavings from my drilling but
I don't have it bolted in because I'm going to show you this now and if I show
this to you bolt it in you will see my top-secret locking mechanism let me go
on the other side here
the locking mechanism is going to be so sneaky
in a million years you'll never figure it out and only that site is going to be
locked this is going to be one my wife if we go into a store real quick and she
doesn't want to drag her purse so you can throw it under there
and you can't get from this side to that side because of the bracket so I will
give you a hint thank good latch thanks for watching
