    Hiya bud another thing I would do is varnish all the wood you have put in the van just to give it more added protection buddy then you won't ever get that mould back again as the varnish protects the wood ❤❤❤

    I think you can now add Handyman to your title as well. You have done an amazing job so far and proved all the nay sayers wrong. In doing so you gave yourself both experience and confidence. Perhaps Alex the handy Cameraman!

    For someone who hasnt done this sort of work before, id say you're not doing too bad a job, yes its not perfect, but its a massive improvement on what was there before. You are very watchable, which probably accounts for your increase in subscriber numbers. Well done young man 👏👍

    Little tip for you, use masking tape before you mark your line and cut your plywood…it will give you a finer edge on the cut.
    Top work as always though 👍🏻

    There is always something so satisfying about removing protective coverings 😎 also I usually watch more advanced types of builds, but I’m not sure why, but I look forward to seeing new videos pop up from you, and thoroughly enjoy watching your content. I think it’s nice to see a guy give something a go, not be an expert but also, not be scared to just give it a go and get stuck in, we need more and more guys like you in the world, who are not afraid to just get stuck in and try, as many have said, it’s not perfect, but you press on, and the more you try the better you’ve become, I look forward to your on going projects and I will make sure to stay subscribed. 👍👍

    Love that you have a sponsor ❤
    Not sure if you know ….to cut fine edges ..
    But…a handle hint …To minimize splintering, apply a strip of painter's tape / masking tape along the cut line on the side of the sheet. And the finest tooth cutting tool is best
    See you on the next one 😊

    I enjoy how you share with us. Anybody accuses you of 'waffling, they should inflict their opinion elsewhere 😃 Put those types out of their misery and kindly block them! I totally look forward to and enjoy that you take the time to share details re: your job and this project. It's like an audio syllabus on How You DIY. This is your gift to us! Actually, the banter is like listening to you think out loud sharing details of something many of us would love to do; whether it's learning How to operate a drone or re-do a van, you make it appear doable AND you stay positive! So keep ignoring the nay sayers. I share my fav life reminder....... NEVER wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig LIKES it!

    Where will you put a studio area? I’m a bit surprised to see those sofas in again, or are they just there for stability until later? You will need a lot of space for actual editing and keeping all equipment for your filming ready to use and easy to get. Plus somewhere to sleep for you and the dog.
