Center Console
My center console is big, but it's tough to find stuff when I want it. So, I made this out of aluminum and keep things that I use regularly in it. It simply lifts out when I want to access the lower part of the console. It's one piece of aluminum sheet bent up and secured at the corners with rivets. Then I sprayed it black and lined the bottom with some left over tool drawer liner material. Works great.

Man that looks great and it is a great idea. I have the same problem as well but I'm obviously not as handy as you.
