A while back I decided to build a centre console for my bus. The idea originally stemmed from the need for some cup holders, but ended up encompassing a whole lot more. Of course this gets rid of the walk through feature, but due to my size, I found I didn't really use it anyway.
I am no builder so aside from a very rough original plan of the supporting frame, the entire build was all fly by the seat of your pants stuff.
In my head I knew what I wanted, I just got there in a very round about way. Frame was built using 19mm pine, wood "skin" was 12mm MDF and padding was 20mm foam covered in textured black vinyl.
I ended up including a few extra features as follows:
- Front open storage bin (near gear stick)
- Folding padded arm rest
- Switched blue LED illumination for storage bin under arm rest
- Moulded and padded iPod shelf
- Rear console containing DVD player/LCD monitor
- Pull out draws for cup holders and remote controls
- Wireless headphones (transmitter and three sets of headphones)

Just need to get the rest of the interior up to scratch now.
All in all I am happy, with only a few things that I would do differently next time...
