No idea where those Hip hop beats came from, it was a 2am edit and it seemed to work at the time! :-) Enjoy!
Where do you get your music from usually? I guess it's royalty free? And yes, awesome build. Very inspiring.
Love the build, if you have any recollection of where the beats came from I'd love to know
You are good at scribbing. Love the videos!
The Restoration Couple I, for one, like it. Good energy as you embark upon this chapter in the build.
Tim, your amazing. You dream. You plan. And you execute beautifully. All while managing a career, being a husband and father.
Most of all, the manner in which you share your projects with the world is a rare find.
Brilliant work, as usual. Looking forward to the next video in the series.
Take care and be well.
Thanks John, always a juggling act here but that's how we like it! :-)
I love that you use what the van gives you with the door light! Gives you the opportunity not having to look around in the dark for a light switch should you ever come back to the van later than expexted. Great job!
Nicest Van Build on the Internet!
Wow, this is really coming together now, excellent job.
Dan
Don’t forget to leave access to rear lights in the event of bulb change. Interesting series of videos.
The panels are all done now, will try and show in the next video.
Love the attention to detail with the radius. It's the little things!
Looks awesome! And thanks for doing the bit above the cab early on. I've been procrastinating over that bit because I had no idea. Seeing that I think I do have an idea now. Great idea re coat hooks on the space between the frame and the back door. I was trying to figure out what to do with that space, a couple of hooks for coat/bag might be a simple answer. Keep up the good work, it's very useful seeing it all.
Above cab almost done now. It is lined with 25mm of celotex and then the inside surfaces I have just carpeted. It will be used for bedding storage so no need for anything fancy.
Looking great 😃
Loving you demos. Think I will have to start back to the beginning. Great idea how you scribed the curves. Thanks .
You van project is a great inspiration for me and my wife. We plan to also make a van conversion. Looking more videos on how you solve things 👍🏻
best van builder. your doing a great job i love your videos they are very helpful. you think exactly like me
Table saw... that's the dream..
Great thinking leaving the spot over the cab a little wider for the upper cabinet to run into. I wouldn't have done that and then kicked myself when I was hanging the cabinet.
Just knew I would snack my head on the corner every time I turned the chair! 🙄
This van is really coming on , brilliant job . Keep the vids coming !
Looking super good Tim. More ideas to borrow!
Wow. So awesome. Fantastic progress and looks beautiful!
Great job 👍 It’s coming on a real treat 😄
Really good job. Thanks for sharing.
Regards, John.
Well done can't wait to start mine 👍
Well done. Coming along great
Looks really good, be ready for a summer hol. brilliant I love that bit at the start 'Keys!' lol
Nice work Tim and I just watched your pizza oven. think I might give that a go
Looking awesome!
You mentioned the transition from the plastic to the plywood, try using foam and surface it with dark grey acrylic paint with some sort of texture, maybe using a roller, if it works just use normmal carpenter glue in case you ever want to change things up.
Looking great Tim, great job.
This is all coming together very well Tim. If you happen to do any more scribing to fit the kitchen cabinets would you mind showing us the process you use in detail? You manage to get the ply very flush with the uneven wall it’s impressive. I’m a complete novice so not sure how it’s done. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Sure. This was my warm up act, there is plenty more to do so will be shooting in more detail then. Just needed to get on with the first few to get back in the swing of it. 👍
This campervan will look amazing :-)
If we ever finish it! :-)
Lookin good, I don't know if the coat hook was an afterthought but you'll get a lot of use out of it.
Make sure you have enough room to access the rear break light panel for servicing etc!
have you considered looking at making your base units with foam slab and very thin veneer ply? nice and light but very sturdy
No, i have seen it but not sure it is necessary as I will just be using a framework rather than slab carcass so will just use thin ply as dividers where needed.
Excellent job you do here, congrats.
Do you plan to put some silicone(or something) where the cabinets and walls are joining?
I think there are a couple of millimeters from hand cutting that you would like to mask. That might also prevent the squealing also being elastic (as there would be some vibrations).
You might could try 2 sliding doors in your upper cabinets
Looking good, great progress.
Hi, quick question. I'm In the process of ply lining and kitting out the same van for a crew cab, struggling to work out the storage space above the front seats..
I see u have cut a ply fascia to cover the old bulk head metal, but how have you finished the underside of this, from the back of the ply, up to the plastic head and b pillars.. Cheers.
Hi Tim. I’m very keen to see your cabinets. I’ve done my face frames with a rebate as you mentioned but what hinges to use?
You can get face frame hinges or just use conventional hinges with stays for upper units. I’m not quite there yet but will be doing it later this week.
Hi Tim. Do you use specific kreg pocket hole screws, or have you found an alternative washer head screw that can do the job for better value? I can’t seem to find a decent length washer head screw, nothing in screwfix or equivalent, just wondered what you use. Great videos. Tom
Have used both kreg and trend. There are some cheaper alternatives online but don’t use enough yet to worry about it. Trend seem to be easier to get hold of.
First class job, have you not thought of putting sliding doors for cabinets? just a thought
Hello, thank you for all the videos, many have been of massive help (atm about the lay my own patio).
I was wondering what is the name of the tool that allows you to drill a hole at a steel angle?
Thank you again
Ben
What type of wood did you use for the units? Sorry if I missed it!
Ply for carcasses and poplar face frames.
How did you make the stencil for the upper cabinets sections? Is there a trick or are you magic man?! lol! :-D
Just scribe to a piece of card. A compass works well or a piece of wood with a hole for pen.
Love your vids. Are your assistants (daughters) still helping you?
Do you plan on making large cupboards/closets at the ends of the overhanging cupboards, that would make hanging the overhead cupboards easier to hang.
Music intro?.
Really interesting and thought out
Pity about the terrible music though
10 minutes of cuttting 5 of content. - no thanks
