I did like how you took the time to explain the important steps and the tools you used. It was an entertaining. I think if it was all too perfect - it would make us feel we couldn't do it. But when we saw the not so perfect - and how you molded it into something good - does make me feel that I could give it a go too.
Hi Stephen, what a nice comment thank you, it means a lot and has made our day as we have always said we are not professionals and we like to think that by seeing us do things others will be willing to give it a good go too! Thanks again and good luck, if we can do it anyone can!
Good video. Thanks for that. It dug me out of a hole.
Nice man that makes me so happy . Thanks for the comment . Curious now what bit was you stuck on bud
Thank you Sir for the Excellent video! You are a craftsman. Well done.
Why thank you sir! Much appreciated
Super helpful! Especially the fitting the trim ring to the panel, tacking it together, removing and cutting the panel. Brilliant, thanks!
There not a hard job mate to be honest and really make a difference to the van . Thanks for watching Allen
That’s a great solution for a curved window frame, very professional.
Thanks buddy it’s finished them off nice and pretty simple as well
Brilliantly explained. I'm a woodwork enthusiast and always have been but was looking for the best way to tackle this for a van.
Well, now I know and have all the tools already. A big thank you👍
Thanks buddy that’s a massive compliment so thank you . It just seemed a simple way that any one could do . And to be fair . It actually looks good as well . Which shocked me
This is brilliant!! So glad I found your video and now I know exactly how I am going to frame my windows. Thank you!!!
Thanks for watching Joanna and glad it was helpful . It’s not that hard really just takes a bit if of time
Great job and good solution to a common problem.

So simple yet looks cracking and once trimmed look factory finish. Nice

Very well explained taught me a few things excellent 👍🏻

what a lad haha the best van vids, keep em up Neil
Thanks bro . So so many builds out there and so many amazing ones it’s nice for some one to appreciate ours . Thanks dude
Enjoyed the window frame...nice job 👍 I don’t have as many tools, I’ll fit an IKEA blind inside my panelling.🤞🤞🤞
Thank you, that's the beauty of doing your own van build, there are so many different ideas and styles and layouts, you can make your van unique and functional to your own personal needs and wants!!!
I tend not to swear too much in comments...but fuck me that’s the best idea for a window surround I think I’ve seen!!🤩🙏🏻😎
and seriously how simple was it as well , something any one can do . ok u need a router but thats all really , plus it was one of them bed time ideas , i do most of my thinking when im lie in in bed lol
Top work mate 🤠
I also enjoyed the short broll footage near the end.
Thanks mate . I need to spend more time recording b roll . But cheers dude
Another cracking vid, looks really good does that
thnkas buddy
I kept the cardboard template that I used for marking out the bodywork to cut the window aperture out, as I've fitted similar windows to yours. That template will also be useful for marking out the frames.
yer totaly agree buddy , great point
Nice one mate am gona do that to my crafter
Yer man it’s such a simple job but looks really nice as well . Thank for watching bud I’m sure you’ll nail it
Great video Neil really liked this one!!!
thanks patti , hope your doing well and safe
@@UrbanVanlife Thanks Neil so far so good fingers crossed going forward! This country is a friggin mess and no lie
Nice 1 😊👍
nice swan back at ya my friend
Man that was great! We would never try to do something like that. Cuz it would never look that good LOL. I know I've said it before, but everything you do looks so professional. It's quite impressive.
Are thanks guys that’s so nice of you to say . And I appreciate you guys so much thank you
Exellent job top marks great you think outside box and make things fit when you hit a problem you are a man after my own heart.I made wooden notice frames for outside the Everyman theatre when i was in school 1964 photo is on youtube actors photo shoot.Julie Walters, Mathew Kelly plus outside theatre.So i feel i can comment on a job well done by you.👌
Thank you for the compliment John, it’s always nice when someone who has knowledge appreciates your efforts! And wow what an achievement to have under your belt!! And it’s always nice to learn something new about our city too thank you 🙏
Top job 👍ATB Dave
thanks bro ,
Excellent job 👍👌 I'm a joiner and even I wouldn't have gone to town that much 😂 good effort mate 💪
thnkas mate . my dad was a joiner before he retired and hes fussy so i guess i just learnt off him how to do things , im no joiner but i knock a mean nail in
Top job that m8
Thank you!
Looking good! I’m wondering if you considered painting before installing...would that be worth it or no?
we are going to stain them mate so its just a case of being carefull
Nice job mate 👌🏻 wish I did mine like that 🙄
thnaks mate and yours look sound mate , i only did mine like this cos greg never just to prove i can do things and im not as dumb as he may think , but yours are boss mate the whole van looks sound bro
this is really well done, love this! helps so much in figuring things out. So my other question is, how are the windows installed on these vans to begin with? are they clamped inplace with a trim ring and screws or do you just bond them in place?
the windows are cut out and bonded mate , heres our vid of us fitting them ruclips.net/video/JouBuOpYG44/видео.html
job well done sir with vindow lol👍🏻
thanks mate hope your well
Very helpful video! Looks amazing!! Curious as to what mm ply you are using for your walls?
We used 12 mm ply on our walls
Wow what was the tool you used to make the template?! I need that! Thanks for this video very nice frame 👌
I am planning to do the same for my van. But I have to cope with the internal van frame around the window as well. I am leaving the frame until I know how much space I need to fill up. Between the van metalwork and the cladding.
great idea that mate , it is just a easy effect that kind of llooks nice as well , we have just re stained ours today with a fresh new coat
"We've got our telephones" :P "NYEHEH!" "The Vindow" man this video is just full of gems
Thanks mate who knew I could have a go hey . And it’s funny you mention the mysterious bottle I was going to caption it but forgot . I’m glad some one got on to it cos it made me laugh . And yer I was actually impressed my self with the frames they turned out lovely
Really nice job. I suppose if you did not have a profiling tool for the shaped window, you could use a cardboard templete.
thanks buddy , and yer you could use that as a template for sure
Really neat job... I personally believe it was because Emma showed up just in time to keep an eye on the proceedings! 🤣
I do believe you could be TOTALY wrong there sir . She poped in said hi game me instructions of what to do and then left me to it . She instructed me well and he job was Done . Hope your ok mate
Urban Explorer - 😂😂🧐🤣🤣
How’s the van getting along mate
Urban Explorer - It’s not mate. I’m out the house but the van hasn’t had anything done to it.
Ohhhh dang . Guess your busy busy busy mate . When you think you’ll be back at it
This is excellent! What pieces of wood did you cut your frame from?
Also, what is the name of the tool you run around your cuts to make the bevel? It's pretty magical.
Thank you , We just used 3x2 for the frame . And the magic tool is a router . There so so good and you can get them cheap as well
Love your work, did you glue the window frame that you made to the van wall? What stops it rattling?
We screwed the frame to the ply and then fixed it all in place with screws mate . And that worked perfect for us
What size ply were you using on your walls ? Cheers
What is the gray grid material you use as your workbench? Some sort of trench cover?
Lol no there actually our recovery boards for when we get stuck in the mud . But they are great for clamping things to as well . Multipurpose
Wow! She's really turning into quite the beauty Neil! And the van doesn't look bad either...😜
hahaahahaha you make me laugh , thnak you my friend
Ha ha good one!
Just found you and subscribed ! 👋🏻 did you end up screwing the window flange to the frame of window ? Just wondering bc I ordered these windows but haven’t put them in yet … great job.
Hi and welcome aboard, the windows where bonded in place and framed was simply placed over the window, hope this helps ♥️
Looks sound that mate 👍🏻i bought a cheaper again pocket hole jig and it was useless 😂
iv had a couple of these over the years and they just work fine for me , and it really is a cheep one , but im sure there is some junk our there
@@UrbanVanlife yeahhh thats it as long as it does the job fella, i might do something similar with ours, or i may make a frame from 3x1 or something, get a little windowsill then haha
Looks good man, think I need a router haha. Quick question, what is the thickness of the ply that you are using on the walls, my wife and I no longer want to go with cladding and just want to go with plain white walls, just not sure on the thickness needed.
Cheers
We used 9mm on the walls mate . And I agree cladding is not the look I like a well
@@UrbanVanlife cheers mate, appreciate it!
Can i ask where you got those windows please. Just what I'm after.thanks Paul
Yer man there is a link in the description of the vid to the company we got them from . They also do bigger ones now as well
PS people at the end of that video I think I saw him slide that window open and the open part was the front and you slid the glass towards the back. Everything that I have read tells you to put the stationary part of the window towards the front of the van and that prevents the rain and water that gets sliced up against the vehicle from going into the crevice between the two panes of glass and potentially causing a leak😮 always keep the stationary panel to the front
You can put them in any way you like it really dosnt matter they seal . And they have never leaked . So don’t believe everything you read . Cos let’s face it they have been in for 3 years and not one leak
@@UrbanVanlife so you're telling me I should not have believed the manufacturer of the windows that I purchased and installed like they recommended? I didn't know why that's what they said until I watched a couple of videos and then I thought huh that does make sense..
@justjudy7320 well I can tell you 1000% ours have not leaked at all . So what dose that tell you . But let me know if yours leak . You also say about the manufacturer . We didn’t say who it was just where we bought them from ?? May be you got different windows that have to be installed that way cos we know plenty of people who fitted them like we have and funny enough non of there’s have leaked . It could be you have different ones
i am in the middle of a build of my first van at the moment and was wondering if to batten out the walls before adding ply.. you dont seem to do that on yours.. any reason for one method over another or just depends on personal choice ?
My thinking is your screwing Barton’s to a metal structure to then put ply up on to the battons . It makes no sense to me why people do it . I mean if any thing you lose 2 inches of width but for what reason ?? 2 inches is not much , until you need it to be 2 inches bigger
@@UrbanVanlife thats exactly my thoughts, thanks i will put direct to the to the van, i need all the inches i can get..
Well done sir! Where did you buy those windows? I'm trying to find something with a mosquito net in but don't seem to be able to get them in the UK.
Lake side windows is where sulu get them from mate there in kendle
@@UrbanVanlife do they have a website?
Nice video! Where did you bought these Windows? Can you please inform me about the brandname and supplier? Thanks in advance.
we got them from a company in kendle in the lake district uk called lakeside windows . there nice people and ther price was good , they also do bigger ones now as well , lakelandwindscreens.co.uk/
Hello, was just about to attempt this myself. Some sources say not to have the wood touching the window frame and to leave a small gap to prevent condensation and mould forming…..would be be interested to know hear your thoughts. Thanks, John.
We have not had any issues to be honest mate . It all looks the same as the day we did it . You’re going to get condensation regusrdless and I think by having a gap it could drip into parts you can not see so I personally wouldn’t do that .
Thanks I agree 👍👍👍
