    Hey Fletch,

    I don't know,you reckon first time using a circular saw, those cuts seem pretty straight.

    Have you been foxing, cabinet maker in a past life. It's looking good, please keep the photos coming, draws probably wouldn't work in the ute, but I love seeing what people are capable of.

    Mate as an Auto Electrician how do you run out of light.

    The place should be flaring, more light than you know what to do with.

    if they are the same or very similar as the UES ones they will look tops, I know the UES ones and yeh when I get around 2 doing draws that's what I will be looking at for sure. I'm sure your draw build will look like awesome mate

    Hey Fletch,

    When you do the next DIY project all you will have to do is open the draws then night time won't be a problem
