    Hi Scott I never even noticed you had a speech impediment, I also have one and know how hard some words are to say, but I’m an avid follower of your videos and every video is clear and understandable, so I hope if you ever felt self conscious you don’t need to worry anymore. Hope lockdown is lifting for you soon.

    Bro, you really have passion for your work. Everything is so tidy organized, reveling the love for what you do. It is remains me of when I started working as a handyman here in California, then became a pro-painter and thought about having my own company. Talking about tools and strategies for work projects was what kept me motivated. I am 32 y/o now with twin girls and a body that feels overworked, I didn't take good care of it(too much overtime for family reasons). Now I have to worry about the future of my girls and I feel that I have to prepare for my inevitable future as well. I got a good/stable job as painter and I don't have to worry about buying tools for projects of my own. This gives me peace of mind for now and the future. However, I still want to live the life you are enjoying today bro. Be as enthusiastic for what you do bro. Cheers Scott, God bless you and keep the good work!!

    The stealth mounts are a great idea, I know of a plumber who used to just throw his batteries in the back loosely, until one of them shorted out on some wire wool, totally gutted his van, lithium iron batteries are very dangerous if not stored properly. I've got about 14 Bosch 18 v batteries, and I always keep them in the tools, the new bosch sds plus has mounts built into the case to store spare batteries.

      I’ve been in hiaces for the last 10 years, ranging from 2004 model year to present and the newest one is so far ahead of the old design. If you’re thinking about getting one you will not be disappointed! comfortable, quiet and safe. I can easily look past the shorter cargo area with all these benefits, you learn to use the extra width you have over the length. Sorry if this started to sound a bit erotic towards the end 😆

    I had a Merc MB140D as a courier van back in 2000, large enough to take my whole days deliveries instead of 3 trips with the Hi-Ace.
    If you had a frontal the engine was designed to drop and roll under the chassis and the steering wheel would colapse and move forward; it was also cheaper than a new Hi-ace; only downside was 1 side door on the passengers side.

    That's an incredibly functional and organized way of loading up a van. Best part is that you made all of it yourself. Kudos on some of the cinematography you include in your work, that's a nice touch.
    You can get kits to add on features like back-up cameras and Bluetooth radios to these older vehicles. Its usually very simple to have that added and knowing how clever you are, you could likely do it yourself. You can even go for window scrolling mechanism as well, they just pop a motor inside the door panel and slip a cog over where the handle normally sits and voila!

    Tool storage is an evolution. Make everything as best as you can, because when time passes and hindsight kicks in after use, you see what you “should “ have done. So set yourself up to be able to modify your set up easily. I think this process of storing your gear, designing and building, really improves you as a carpenter in all aspects. You get to test your theory’s and methods to hard use or get to learn a new skill through intense repetition. For instance I used pocket holes to build 90% of my trailer to see it’s Applications and limitations. Let the sawdust fly and have fun!

The mid section is open for the stuff I carry fits in their, pressure washers etc For yours put a bull bar on the front to feel safer and cut the mid section out and just make an extended box section to fit the drop saw for now till your new van in a year or so.It still looks way cool with those stripes and even Toyota quality dropping with more plastics and gadgets.

My old man had the same van but the SWB hiace a few years ago and was involved in a car accident when a ambulance rear ended him and pushed him forward into 3 other cars at full speed of the ambulance. The frontage on the hiace isn’t safe as dads feets and legs got crushed by the impact of the front end with the steering column shooting up into his ribs crushing his rib cage and braking his jaw…
    5 years later and unfortunately his now crippled

    Great setup!
    Wish Toyota would release a bare bones work van in the US for the right amount of money.

    Great lockdown vid mate very ingenious. The van will make a great back packer vehicle once you have finished with it 😁. Will do another 3/4 of a million kms in its next life……. 😁 🇬🇧 😁
    PS, hope the AB’s go well against the Boks this weekend
