How to Make an Awesome Wooden Bike Basket

I made myself a super cool wooden bike basket for my electric bike. It's definitely much fancier than it needs to be, but who cares? It was a really fun build.
Normally I create my projects in Fusion 360, and then build them from precise plans I generate. This time, though, I just kind of made it up as I went along. I tried to show my thought process in the video, let me know if you like this sort of thing, and if it was clear the way I was working things out in my head.
NOTE: this bike basket is pretty big, since I sized it for my camera bag, and is also HEAVY. Since it's for my electric bike, I didn't really bother about the weight. If I were going to make one for my regular bike, I'd make it MUCH lighter.

That is a beautiful piece of work. I think every domino user gets to experience the pleasure of that moment when you realise that you forgot to move the depth stop for the shallow mortice. I made some dominos out of a contrasting timber, hammered them in, cut them flush and pretended it was a design feature!

[@ParameterWorkshop]

That is exactly the way to do it!

[@DaileyWoodworks]

This is how I discovered through domino joinery. 😅. It’s not a defect it’s a feature

[@mheermance]

Nice looking project. As a wood butcher I would have used plywood with glue and screws, and then covered my sins with paint.

[@JoRoBoYo]

😂😂😂

[@darith27]

Wish u made more of these, I'd love to buy one!

[@roastbeefy0weefy]

Very nice. Let's see Paul Allen's artisanal basket.

[@santi9359]

You’re very talented. Awesome job.

[@tandago7281]

Gorgeous. I started watching this thinking I could make my own basket and ended thinking "no way" - or at least no way as nice as this!

[@NavigatedChaos]

I could buy so much more I need when I go to the thrift store. Panniers only do so much.

[@medmek6469]

رائع...good 4 u

[@yxhankun]

at least 20 tools are being used here.

[@Thomas-yr9ln]

I think they sell these new for fifty dollars.

[@tonyelcurry4955]

Awesome video, It's exactly what I'm looking for, I wanna put my 38lb dog in it when he gets tired.
I really wish you had made a blueprint/pdf which makes it easier for the average DIY'er like myself to follow along
Looks soo nice

[@jamescollins5697]

Nice work way too heavy

[@PRH123]

Looks nice. But too heavy for a bike rack. And won’t hold up to rain. But looks nice.

[@comounaverdura]

I'm crying because I have no woodworking tools.

[@ralfvk.4571]

Nice work, but for me it looks too heavy. Would prefer lighter or thinner material.

[@obteniendose]

Really nice. I wonder how much it weighs.

[@SolarizeYourLife]

Use MIK system and you can easily take off and on...

[@cathyhonseler4642]

And lucky me I don't have any of the tools shown!

[@1zanglang]

You're the proud owner of bicycle with weird wallnut furniture... I mean crate.

[@DaileyWoodworks]

Fantastic Video. Just subscribed.

[@mc.ivanprieto222]

I wish i have some hays😣

[@juliapihlstrom2225]

Hello, thanks for the vid! Could you show better the metallic parts you used for the attachment please? I am going to install mine aswell but I am a bit lost which ones I need...

[@AA-rc4zr]

Awesome! Can I buy one of these from you? A quick release option to remove the basket when not using it would be great.

[@shaundeane]

This is so awesome. What a great idea - thanks for the inspiration and view into the process.

[@StrawbyteWorkshop]

Great video. And a fantastic end result.

[@ParameterWorkshop]

Thank you!

[@channingscott009]

What was that lil box you used to measure the tape lines?

[@gerhardhillmann1]

Mad skills! Love it!

[@CrudeButEfficient]

Nice fail save! Looks like you've doubled the value of the bike with that addition! 😁

[@ParameterWorkshop]

Thanks! Pretty happy with how it came out!

[@CrudeButEfficient]

@@ParameterWorkshop You should be!

[@alexanderg8466]

can I put my dog in there?

[@p.a.t.330]

Great!!! now I need a Domino jointer a CNC machine, those Veritas spacer.... and a new box. ;) but really Nice work!

[@gottliebheinrich8413]

fine!
but the taillight would be better protected when still on the old hight but more backwards shifted to be in line with the back of the basket.
(this way it would be also be more reflecting rays of the head lights of following vehicles)
putting the lock on the basket is surely practically.

[@propbender2]

Wow! I wonder if you might be willing to discuss making one like this for my new KBO Ranger e-bike? Let me know, THANKS and keep up the great work!...

[@DelfiaC]

Absolutely lovely 😍

[@JisooKim-wo3if]

Absolutely love this basket 👍🏼👍🏼

[@icarogoes1275]

Nice edit! you gave me Ideia for adapting the Ulock my back basket, thanks!

[@dannybrown4357]

I want one for my bike. I wonder if this guy sells these. I wounder if he has a website

[@Trentsblog]

[@leandro27th]

[@meatjunjun]

Where did you get that specific bike rack?

[@NIIL069]

I need build something like this and add it speakers

[@jeanturnerchapman3513]

This is so cool. How could you make it lighter?

[@mikemonks6369]

Paint it yellow?

[@diegudr]

That's Amazing. I wish I had the patience to make something like that.

[@kingpixel]

I love this video because it combines all my favorite things!

[@bluie.]

im struggling to figure out what your favorite things are. “all” implies at least 3 things.. so uh... woodworking, biking, and.. baskets?

[@kingpixel]

Nailed it.

[@johnr5545]

Nice job god bless

[@Herz_aus_holz]

Mega Hammer Teil 😮😊❤
