Making a drawer platform for my bed

I've been working on it for the last 2 nights and Ive got a fair amount of the job done, so I figured I would share some pictures.
This is what I did last night

And this is what I did tonight. I'll post more as I go.

 

I'm digging this. Do you have any close-up pics of how the bearings mount (bolt, washer, nut, bearing, nut or whatever order it's in)?
How's it mounted to the bed?
Any plans to be able to lock it closed and/or open?

 

It's bolt-washer-wood-washer-bearing then 2 nuts. I have plans for it to lock and it will have a hatch to access it from the top side too. I'll probably finish it over the next 2 nights. It's attached to the bed with eye bolts attached to the eyes on the rear with turnbuckles and I'll attach it by the tailgate eventually.

might find some ideas/pointers in there as many people have done this.
nice job!

 

Well,done for the night but I still wanna close off the sides with hinged hatches.

 

You have got to have the most interestingly bizarre avatar on here

 

any particular reason you went with two center boards vs one?

 

It came down to the hardware I had and what I needed to do to make it work.

 

fair enough.
Perfection gets in the way of good enough for me.

 

I'm fairly confident that the fit and finish of this is better than 95% of the drawer setups you will see on the internet. Good enough was never on my mind.

 

Nice build man.

 

What sort of bearing did you use?

 

50 PCS 608-2RS Skateboard Bearing, 8x22x7, Sealed

Would you be interested in selling or building another?
