Gotta love those Harbor Freight lights! Great idea, lots of nice details (storage even in the step!) and good sense of humor! All you need is a roll of toilet paper and a fan and you're all set!

You can reattach the base of the plastic console lid with a plastic welder. I bought one a few years ago and, while pricey, it's extremely effective. Comes with instructions and a supply of various plastic rods. You could get by with a soldering iron and some filler material from the piece you cut out, but the results won't be nearly as clean.https://www.walmart.com/ip/AIRLESS-WELDER-PLASTIC-...https://www.polyvance.com/Plastic-Welding-Rod-1/

Whatever you use, pro tool or soldering iron, melt the base material together. Just add filler whenever needed you have to get the two pieces melted together or it’ll break. Look at the recycling symbol and use same material for filler when needed.

Okay, that's just tooooo cool! Seen several of your design videos on youtube, but this simple project just takes off with the detail you've put into it. Great job!

You're my new woodworking hero! These are your spare time projects!!!! You're underutilized at your day job I think! Beautiful, slightly edgy couch design, incredible desk! Well done.

Excellent idea. And makes me wonder if one couldn't build a fun gokart using this same technique. wouldn't spin as much but might be fun off road.

Excellent design and execution! I would've kept that trailer ramp and made a back porch for outside enjoyment, maybe with a shed roof or awning. Would keep the trailer more secure when traveling or stored by having it cover the door. But that's an addition. The trailer is smashingly good!

Actually just using 12' 2 X 4's and extending the roof an extra 2 feet would be easier and look natural. Cut the ramp to about 4 feet (save 30 of those 100 lbs) and have a nice sitting area.

Excellent conversion! Do agree the wiring is inadequate gauge. Just run one thing at a time!Should you decide to rewire, add a fourth outlet for your electronics chargers and you're all set! Good job!

Nice job, and a use for a drill I have with a broken handle.

Very nice. A way to display my own!

Tremendous creativity! Obviously your textile designs must be incredible! Thanks for sharing this with us.

Awesome idea. Inexpensive and very effective!

A lot of you need to read the responses in these comments a bit more carefully. (Sorry for sounding rude). In my comment regarding the welder I used, I was pretty specific about heating the base material thoroughly. Done properly little to no filler is required. The finish welded surface may be sanded or painted as well as original. Automotive plastics are mostly polypropylene or abs and they are used for specific components although you sometimes find nylon. The only way to satisfactorily repair these is with heat. Nothing will glue abs. The commenter who used acetone to melt abs MIGHT get a good bond, but I haven't had success with that method. JB Weld hasn't worked for me either. Pla used with 3D printers isn't suitable, abs is.Since these parts are manufactured using heat and mol...

YMMV but there's a reason professionals don't rely on chemical fixes.I didn't buy my kit from these people but this will show what I'm using:http://www.eastwood.com/airless-plastic-welder-model-7.html?SRCCODE=PLA00020&product_id=14013&adpos=1o3&creative=83580267540&device=m&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=CjwKCAjwrO_MBRBxEiwAYJnDLIJdazrBctnLcoLd6VKMekuqll5dQM41k4MsbO_jJq-Oexu9au2DSxoC4igQAvD_BwEThe plastic rods are available from Amazon. Ppe is about $12 per bundle. I've found proper fixes to be permanent when dealing with automotive plastic where cheating out isn't. Again, YMMV. Good luck!

Having endured this problem myself, I purchased a plasic welder kit. Good quality great instructions, but still a soldering iron (with a hole in the foot to push filler rod through) and adjustable heat. Best results with this pro tool are accomplished just as how you outlined it, heat the base material thoroughly and flow the two pieces together, adding filler as needed. Will last as long as it did originally, in my experience. Great job, and saved yourself the $150 I spent on my tool (in fairness it's paid for itself several times over!).

Well done!

Nice, creative use of materials!

Very well done and fantastic table design!

I like it! Postal Service may not, so might put a postal decal on it somewhere.

Whatever an arbor press does. I bought one several years ago at an auction for $5, It was a waste because I've been wondering what it's good for all these years! Now I see one use, though every time I've tried to press something with it the machine didn't have sufficient leverage to do much. Guess I was just trying on stuff that was too big.

It doesn't, which is why I said yours is much better! :)

An adjustable tube or pipe that is commonly used in basements to shore up floors.

Good on ya! And an excellent guide! Thanks for the information.

Cool and creative use of materials. Sure beats a lally column.

quick and easy solution to an irritating problem. Well done!

Awesome simple solution! I follow your Youtube channel as well. Thanks for this!

Amazing instructable! Nice detail information about how you did the forging and heat treat. Learned a lot reading through this. Thanks!

Saw the Youtube video and started figuring how to build my own. Now you've told me! Much better than your first version. And the magnets are a very useful idea. Many thanks!!

Very cool!

Excellent use and suitable for any motorcycle, quad, or off road vehicle.

well done!

You are not ignorant if you can build and program such projects. Well done!

Would like a bit more information on the track and wheels. Wheel diameter, what they look like. Some close up photos would help. Thanks!

Very cool! And clever too! Well done.

I like it. Incredibly stout, depends on what you're welding as to whether it needs be that heavy, but very useful for welders!

Great ideas! I understand the clips (in theory) but I would like to see a photo of the clips so I can visualize how the table top works a little better.

Outstanding!

Very nice!

Ran across this in a search for portable workstations. Great idea, great execution, and for a great cause! That's a plus 3 for you on the humanity scale!!!!

Interesting experiment! good creative thinking. The evolution - glass bottles and a campfire.

Neat idea!

I see you use those great particle masks. I bought one of those and find it more comfortable and more substantial than traditional dust masks. Great shed too!

Provencialism is becoming larger as people in the 220V areas become nastier. This is instructables, it's not a stretch to figure can determine their local country's mains voltage for themselves. Let's keep it positive here, not tatty.

Cool, Oh, wait.....Not cool! :)
