Only thing I would say is don't go messing around with electricity without getting professional help... that is nothing to mess around with. High voltage can kill you. Carpentry and plumbing isn't that hard, you just need experience.

    Just came across your videos and your great. I’m almost 69 years young now and always liked building things with my hands and brains (what brains I got left). When I was younger, I use to build the galleys for U.S. Navy ships, some commercial tanker ships, and also a cruise ship. For side jobs, I would remodel houses, a couple of trailers, and the whole time, enjoy doing it. I felt that the only difference between working with metal and wood is, welding and bolting the metal, and gluing and screwing the wood. I’ve camped most of my life, now in a 35’ fifth wheel, and I’m still able to climb up and down the back of my truck to hook everything up. But there’s hopefully gonna come a time when I can’t, my son and I are going to build me a van like you’re doing. I’ve never been good at the electrical part, but the wood and plumbing, I can do. I’m still learning and I’m learning from you. Thank you for sharing your young and great talent, and please don’t stop. God bless you my friend.

If I decided to charge my neighbors for a lot of things I do as favors, I could easily make an extra $4 to $5K a year. We have a community Facebook page and people are constantly offering to pay someone to do what I deem as relatively simple assembly of items they’ve purchased. A good handyman (one the actually knows the correct way to do things) is worth their weight in gold.

    You made this look so dang easy. Very very impressive. I work in the construction industry for a living and this isn’t easy to do. This takes extreme skill and the for-thought of figuring out how to maximize space yet still be comfortable. You are a true craftsman and I look forward to seeing more of it. Thanks for sharing

    This is the most amazing video I've ever seen in my life. This is not some average joe though. This dude is a master tradesman. The cuts on that wood work have to be perfect, you're basically making Ikea furniture from scratch. And the flooring, insulation, electrician, plumbing, welding the Autocad drawings. The overall engineering from just in your head knowing exactly where you need to make a hole. Not to mention the video work and editing itself is amazing. I'm like speechless right now.

      He could own his own construction company and his own production company!!! He’s already doing it.

      I could not stop watching! Holy Moley, you are an amazing craftsman. I struggle with some of the basic DIY in my (UK) home. What you have done is outstanding and could be documentary level for TV! Wow, and the end result is amazing. The joints you made are master craftsman level. I have certainly picked up some tips. Brilliant video. Thanks for posting 😃.

    so... this guy is a carpenter , cabinet maker , designer , electrician , plumber , painter , metal worker (I may have missed some) and film editor extraordinaire. I'm just stunned. What a lovely van build and multi talented man. Brilliantly filmed and edited I might add. I wouldn't even know what to call most of those tools let alone how to use them 😆 Great video , Thanks for sharing ❤️

    Awesome build video. I was amazed at the thought given to the layout and functionality. It seemed like an insane amount of work for one person, but you crushed it. And on a side note, because your van building skills are so evident people might be inclined to sleep on how epic your video editing talents are as well. This is one of the first van build videos that fully depicted to me the level of detail and skill which goes into building a setup like this van. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

    This is an amazing build. You are extremely talented. While you were building this one, I kept thinking"why didn't this guy do building courses" so I'm glad you're going that route. My condolences, I'm sorry to hear about your dad. Keep your head up lil bro
