Great video Simon very clearly explained. Oh I wish I could afford that Mafell saw

In lockdown I couldn't get hold any of deck tape so I used Bitumen flashing tape. Cost an arm and a leg!

Bet there still easy as hell to break into. Bet Ford haven’t invested in the security.

hi simon when you welded these tiles did you use the Milwaukee soldering iron ? m12 ,

Glad I subscribed and by the way, you’re a very handsome man!

I see yours has an arm rest, does anyone know where I can get a drivers side arm rest that is compatible? Can't seem to find one from ford

Hi Simon, if you didn’t have the big saw, how would you tackle that half lap? I have a similar problem but my saw will leave me 40mm short. Thanks all for these videos too.

I started doing this myself. Lots more work but worth it in the end

yeah we paid 40k for ours only difference is that its manual,! think they saw you coming! but then maybe not as you didnt realise it had a square steering wheel!!! 5;08 which i wasnt ready for! what person doesnt look at what the details of what there getting !

Can flashing tape be used instead of decking tape? How about just a waterproof paint and no tape?

It’s a fucking joke £50.0000 for a new van been in one not that good got a ford connect and it’s shite

Looks well smart 😎👏

My dad bought a 2.3 litre high top medium wheel base brand new in 2006 for 15k. Crazy how much they've gone up in price now.

Awesome video , you should review vans …. A natural

Bro you should be on television. You come across as good as a professional presenter.

I had a 20 plate Custom limited, it was incredibly fuel thirsty and had its reliability problems too. Never again. Good luck with yours though.

So what happens when the wood has been soaked by the British weather for a year or so ? I presume it starts moving just like any other wood .

The first thing I noticed is the annoying thin black pillar on the side windows with the quarter panel that you used to have to clean manually so you can see the side mirrors. Great to see Ford have done away with that.

Just curious as to why you use screws and then aesthetic dowels…is it any harder/more structurally sound? Or just easier? Genuine question 👍🏼 Love the vids

Short answer .... no

Not having the Gear stick in the middle will be better for the middle seat passenger. The hand brake will be released automatically with enough engine revs. Just live the key in the driver's door card pocket.

Ford must think you would normally chuck £50k in the bin if you didnt have anything to buy with it!!!

What an informative review 👍. Hope you enjoy life in your new van Simon.

Not a fan of joist hangers on decking frames. They hold water at the joints and seen them fail on plenty of old decking frames,.

Great video Simon. I might be missing something obvious. Love the idea of the jig but can you explain why the rafter does not sit at the top of the ridge board. Thanks

What fixings did you use to bolt the legs to the house please ?

Nope

I don't often watch a video and think "this man knows what he's doing" this is good work and I love the guide tool. The only thing I'd do is route the end of the over hang so it's also rounded.

All mod cons of a modern range rover with a practical boot size and half the price, what's not to like 😆. I have bee looking at new vans this year and they just cost far too much. I paid £22,500 new for a vivaro C sportive in 2021. I use it as a day van and main vehicle as I prefer vans to cars so it's not a workhorse. But at the prices now I see no benefit to 'upgrading'. At least the vivaro has an actual manual handbrake, I hate those auto ones. Also if over £40k are vans not liable for the luxury tax on top of road tax?

Great work mate 👌🏼

Another beautiful job. Thank you

Dude your shorts and t shirt are 2 sizes too small for you.

Simon you need to work harder mate we need more content 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶👍👍👍👍👍

Do you put tape on the horizontal top parts of the batons?

Security on these are terrible!

Beautiful work. Nice to see a new video. Best wishes from Poland 🇵🇱👍😉

That's completely ridiculous for a van the manufacturers are out of control

Could you do a video of how you do the measurements for that final edge cut? That cooked oak looks amazing btw

Another beautiful job simon and mcm. atb 👍

Brilliant video!!

Great job Simon. What is the glass they had in their doors, looks like mirrors. I'm guessing good thermal and privacy properties?

Great video as always Simon. I appreciate your talent and content!

Great video mate 👍

Finally a new video of Simon Ballsofsteel!

Naw

50k for a van! Thats at least 30k too much! Absolute robbery when you consider how easy these are to break into and how many reliability problems they've had.

Really thorough video 👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼

Has it still got a wet timing belt 😢😢

35k max

It lost a ton of value as soon as it was driven away from the dealership.
