95% of my power tools are Milwaukee, but I made the plunge and diversified my colors with a makita track saw…thanks to watching your channel. Thank you for the great show.
Hey Scott, I know that you love the systainers, but if you got rid of them you would have 75% more storage space. I used to have everything in it's factory case, but had a temper tantrum one day and fired them all in the bin. Best thing I ever did. Now I have a couple of totes with wheels that I load up with what I need for the job, and have tons of space for more tools! Merry Christmas from Calgary, Canada.
@@MsElijah16 Hello back, I use a two wheeler with a couple of large soft sided tool bags. I got mine from Home Depot, and I also keep some smaller tool totes with specialty stuff in them like electrical tools. I grab the one I need and through it on the big bag and wheel them in. Have fun renovating!!
i guess im asking randomly but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
Kameron is now envious, not just because you have drawer 2.0., but nobody else could have made it all the way in there and back out to attach the slides and stop at the end. If you were in The Great Escape you'd make a good tunnel rat. :)
Thank for your video's. I am a dutch self-emplyed carpenter and i learned from your way of working. A speed square was unknown be me. In combination with a battery skilsaw it woks fantastic. Keep up the work.
Did not know the track saw attachment for the cordless router existed. That is amazing. Thanks for showing that! Jealous of your whole van build. The new drawer just makes it that much better.
Merry Christmas to you, your family, & friends. We appreciate all the resources it takes to bring Scott Brown Carpentry to life here in UA-cam land. Keep up the good work. From you friends in the Pacific Northwest USA. Cheers!
Hi Scott, Thumbs up on your vlogs! I found that putting my powertools and tools (i dont need often on the jobsite) in my van shelf without the case. This gives me a lot more room in the van. This room can be used to store more tools or materials. My van layout is different though. I have a verticaal shelf on the left side to store powertools, some handtools and the battery tools i dont use often. On the right side of the van a small shelf to store screws and nails. My allday use handtools and battery tools are in 2 toughsystemcases with a trolley. Trolley in put in the middle of the van :) Regards from Holland,
All you needed to do to make the old box fit, is rout the drawer slides into the sides. Half on frame. Half in drawer. I do however love the new disign!
excellent video on the drawer - I am in the process with your inspirational design of my fit out. I have the flooring done, was glad to see an update particularly the back stop that I can incorporate, a pull feature, paint instead of carpet, totally dig the pullout sections below the "drawer". Great design my man. Funny my last project some of the wood was from new Zealand Im in Indiana. Cheers mate!
Hey Scott, I couldn't help but notice that you don't have any self centering hinge drill bits. They usually come in a pack of 4. You get a 2.0, 2.5, 3.5 & a 4.0mm bit allowing you to install drawer slides all the way upto installing fire doors. Next time Gaston (I think I'm spelling it right) is in town ask him to grab you a set & try them out, they've made my life as a handyman a breeze when fitting new doors & kitchen drawers. 👍
I have really wanted to pick up one of these tall Mercedes work vans recently. Budget wise videos like this definitely help make the best of the Dodge Caravan I have now which really sucks in comparison.
I just ordered a product called Decked for my f150. It’s a heavy duty plastic unit with 2 drawers and a plastic top. Very strong, but now I’m thinking custom will be a lot better. The drawers can be the size of my tools, even little cubbies for things like levels. Only thing is the Decked units are weather resistant. With a custom solution I would still need to use my truck bed cover.
Very Nice Re-Build of your Drawer... Sadly you should have made your left drawer while you had your tools out... Both quality and efficiency is a Carpenter’s satisfaction and dream. I live in Southern California and after 40 years it seems that every time I go into a near by City I drive by and see an old project of mine. They are still standing... My favorite local project was in the City of Loma Linda for the Ronald McDonald House. Greg
This kind of rails are very common here in Europe. However, whenever you have some heavy drawer it is always recommended to use two pairs per drawer and distribute the load. Of course when looking at specs they are pretty much always ok for normal applications but it does not say how long are they going to last. Also, deflection (down) is always gonna be smaller when using two rails. It would be really interesting seeing how much the face of the drawer drops down compared to the line when it was fully seated within the van. Laser level would do just fine for that measurement.
thanks for sharing that, I'm planning io building something similiar for the back of my truck. Being a sparky mine won't be as refined as your efforts, but enough information there to get me on the right track! Cheers all the way from Scotland. Definitley got a new sub 👍
"The drawers in! Now i've got a big mess to clean up" *Moment of realisation* i laughed, great and educational videos man! been watching for a while, much love from the UK!
Gonna modify this idea to fit my work van. 2018 dodge grand caravan, just need to make it slightly different to fit behind the driver seat. Need to be able to fit 10' sticks of PVC pipe on the passenger side.
Great build. New draw looks more organized. Im also fitting out my van however its a pain to get the runners. Cant find them locally and it will cost a small fortune to import. Considering building my own
@@ScottBrownCarpentry i intend to use 'C' channel iron, angle iron and some small bearings. It should work fine but i havent quite figured how i will prevent the draws from falling out when it is pulled all the way out

That worked out nice! Just goes to show that everything we make is just a prototype and we always improve.
Just like how doctors are always practicing!

I love how the international way of keeping the tubes re-usable is to stick a screw in the end haha! Nice one mate, good job!
Late comment here, but Dap makes a cap called the Dap cap. It kept some caulking of mine fresh for a couple months!

Great build, tools are much more accessible !
Says one organisation expert to another. 👍 (Boys - I need your help! 😢)
@@TakamiWoodshop What ... now you need our help !!!
You are the one buying tools you do not have space for ... hehe !!
Dude I love your van fit out, mine is also custom. Just hoss everything in the back and let it settle as I turn corners!
Gz Byron.
That's how I roll too
I love New Zealand weather it reminds me of Britain you get just as much rain as us.

If only my garage workshop was this organised!
Your original build was the inspiration for my build in my van after years of struggling with shelves :-)
Well Done! A great use of a rain day!
Awesome drawer improvement
Byron, considering that Scott was sitting on those new drawer runners since March i wouldn’t expect the clamps anytime soon 😁
Grats Mr. Dubbs, great vid Mr. Brown. I'm about to outfit a van I just bought and enjoy seeing your ideas

I love organisation and tidiness! Great build Scott!
I'm a new subscriber from the United States, and let me tell you your layout is genius!
So good. Loving your work Scott...
Brilliant content. Watching over from the UK and everyone’s vans are all the same. Would love a set up just like yours. Keep up the hard work
Pretty darned organized mate. Well done
Very nice. I love your van outfit. Wouldnt work for me tho i often need to bring jerrycans, buckets and bags of materials.
Need to put some plans together of the van fit out an sell them, thats a dope set up
Great - going to have to rip out all my storage and start again 😂 Looks awesome Scott! 🙌🏻
Very nice redesign, I like that you accounted for clutter storage. Happy Holidays to all.
Your jokes and editing style are consistently top notch. Love your channel :)
Great work Scott. I just finished my new fit out based on your original design, with a few personal mods. Thanks for the inspiration :)
Now i've watched all your vids, I eagerly await each new one and savour it! keep em coming Scott
great timing, i'm doing my van this week...Awesome mate
Just love the edits. Music, narration, it's all perfect. Well done
Excellent vid, as usual. Thank you.
love the drawer system scott
Nice work - bloody good idea
All you needed to do to make the old box fit, is rout the drawer slides into the sides. Half on frame. Half in drawer.
I do however love the new disign!
Very neat & tidy SBC.
Best you do the other draw mate. Always good to watch
When you “Like” a video before you watch it because you know the content is alway Great 👌
very clean Scott, good work 👍🏽
Some job u done.🔨🔨👏👏🇮🇪🇮🇪

VAN! my favorites
Dear Toyota:
Please sell this van in north America.
Merry Christmas to you and Paerau.Have a great holiday
That’s actually a very good setup now with the side access aswell as top. Cool great video as usual
Love the videos. Coming from Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Subtle placement of your t-shirt. Very cool.

Great video. I have got to redo the racking in my transit soon may do draws have a great Christmas
really liking the draw
awesome idea executed well!
Hope you and your family are safe from that wildfire.
Realism91 that’s in Australia not New Zealand
class build well thought out
That’s really good I maybe copy that for my new work van

Great ideas & build. Very "fitting"...as the year "draws" to a conclusion...! Greetings to our Scott Houdini Brown...!
Nice way to add some value to your car😜
Thank you for, as usual, great content👌
Nice Byron. 😀👍🔨🔨🔨
Hello. I am also remodeling a Hiace in Japan.
I'm glad we have the same hobby. : )
I would imagine those new slides cost a pretty penny. But they sure make for a nice drawer!
Glides like it slides just watch it ride 👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏🏴
Hey Scott thanks a million for this, a real walkthrough, and great tips - perfect vid mate. Merry Christmas
Cheers Chris 👍
Merry Christmas Scott and crew. Thanks for the great vids. All the best for 2020.
Nice job. Merry Christmas from England

Man I love these videos great build Scott looks like a good investment for time!
Merry Christmas scott when it comes. Have a nice brake
You can use 50mm pvc/plastic pipe for your glue/silicone. I have my fan fitted with some works perfect
proper smart that. Wish i could kit out my van like that and store stuff in the van, but too risky here in the UK
Loving the content. Happy holidays bro
So it’s raining in Auckland again.
Don’t miss that!

Nice vid Scott time to upgrade the other side of the draw runners to match the new one and I'm sure it will make for another exciting episode

Great viddy this week Scott that router attachment is pukka! , glad to see you got those Yankee adapters I sent you, have a good crimbo buddy.
Merry Christmas
i build pools in the states. this is a sweet channel
And indeed, exciting it was.
"The drawers in! Now i've got a big mess to clean up"
*Moment of realisation*
i laughed, great and educational videos man! been watching for a while, much love from the UK!
That’s exactly what I am going to do during the Christmas holiday
Gonna modify this idea to fit my work van. 2018 dodge grand caravan, just need to make it slightly different to fit behind the driver seat. Need to be able to fit 10' sticks of PVC pipe on the passenger side.
Awesome episode man, awesome editing
Your shirt matches your van
Why didn’t you just cut a shallow groove on the drawer for the rail to make it fit
That would be too easy
You should fix rails underneath the drawer - would work better for box/drawer like this.
Just a quick happy new year to you from the Black Isle 😁 please keep the vids coming I really enjoy them
Have fun today
Great build. New draw looks more organized. Im also fitting out my van however its a pain to get the runners. Cant find them locally and it will cost a small fortune to import. Considering building my own
I did that for one of my old vans back in the day. I used 3x2s timber as runners and a bit of wax. Wasn't as slick but it worked
@@ScottBrownCarpentry i intend to use 'C' channel iron, angle iron and some small bearings. It should work fine but i havent quite figured how i will prevent the draws from falling out when it is pulled all the way out
Check out Ron Paulk's designs. They might be what you're looking for. If you want to go heavier duty Pask Makes built some pretty serious drawers for the back of his ute.
@@TheOneWhoMightBe thanks alot. Went and checked out pask makes' video and it was a good one. 👍
Nice box Mate 🤣 now you will have to update the other box to match, the original runners were hopelessly undersized for what they were doing
ICY AS ALWAYS
Watch out Kameron Scott is upping his van fit out game
Thats a clean build out but I dont know how you guys work out of those tiny vans.
Finished product looking tidy af
Where you keep the drill box on the right cut ot an inch or two lower so you can get to you drills without removing the box
Dunno if it has been mentioned but my first thought was could the rail not have been recessed into it existing set up????
