Homemade Consoles

[gouran01]

Here is the "finished" product all mocked up in the basement. Just broke it all back down this mornin and covered it in glass. I think I cut out every hole I need for speakers, steering speedo, the almighty can holders, etc. trying no to have an unpredicted hole or crack for water to find is a challenge but will def pay off with a little extra effort. It'll be final coated with which ever coating I finally decide for the interior.

Here are pics of finished/installed side console and control mount I posted earlier on 1448 modified V. Besides using the 1/12 poplar boards, note that I doubled up on the bases where mounting with thru bolts for extra strength. Also note the alum angle used to support the mount on the boat side. I just used pieces I had around, they don't need to be as heavy.

I've had a tool box just like that on Craigslist trying to get rid of it, now I am gonna keep it. :twisted:

Here is the finished product with final coat of paint and waiting to get assembled after the weather gets warm enough to but down the new carpet.
