Tool-box seat for your van

In this instructable I will show you how to make a tool-box seat for your van.
For this project you will need:

• 2*2 white deal (or other type of soft wood).
• 3 sheets of 12mm marine plywood 4ft * 8ft.
• Screws  60mm, 40mm,18mm,  wood adhesive.
• Screw gun, skill saw, orbital sander, jigsaw, clamps, measuring tape, pencil, spirit level, adjustable bevel. 
• 4 hinges, lock , brass screw cup (decorative purpose).

Before you start take the measurements of the space and size of where you want to fit the box. Remember "measure twice do the job once".
Most important: WORK SAFE.
Use all protective gear: gloves, eye and ear protection.

Step 1 Making the box frame

• Make the box frame using the dimensions you measured  for the box in your van taking into account the height comfort for  your legs. The front of the box can be flat or beveled.
• Under the long horizontal span add support. 
• Box front vertical support cut in an angle.
• Screw 2*2 inside the box for the inner shelf support.
• For all screws drill pilot holes in the 2*2 frame.

Very nice!

I'm thinking about putting something like this in our entry way for shoe storage and a place to sit to put shoes on.
