Well done you will be glad you made this decision. My drawers always seem to open during movement and in my truck bed for a whole season before I thought of this simple solution to the problem.

RESPONSE: Thank you for suggesting it, I am already glad I did it. It will look much better once a round handle is on the dowel. The Manufacturer's suggestion for keeping the drawers shut was to attach velcro strips to the back of the drawers and the back wall of the box where the drawers hit. When the drawers are shut the velcro would stick thus preventing them from unwanted opening during movement. But I like your idea much better, and really glad I did it. But I must admit I was worried, as I do have a tendency to not drill straight


I don’t find the laser burns all that unsightly as long as it’s all smooth. But if you have an electric sander removing them on all sides would be easy.

RESPONSE: No I do not have an electric sander, never had any need for one. I will sand it to the point of being smooth but not worry about all the laser marks.

All cradle pieces have been done for days those pics are your pieces. No money order on Saturday sure it will be here Monday but I plan to ship Monday anyway if it is or not.

RESPONSE: All righty then. Can't wait . . . Money Order should be there tomorrow, if not the Tuesday at the latest I would imagine. Then I will send the bonus b the end of the week if thats OK.

Question for you…..Do you plan to install a power panel in the side window?

RESPONSE: Not a power panel but the field charger shown above. Will that interfer with the cradle installation? I didn't get an answer to the above question about installing it either. Do I attach the charger to the box with velcro? Or are they screwed in somehow? There aren't any screwholes in the charger for the installation of that kind. So I guess velcro would be OK.
