    Those cabinet handles are going to be a pain in the ass in such a narrow space

    8:19 did you know you can use the 2 drill bits in the Blum Jig to center punch the locations for the srews? There are 2 orange clips delivered with it that restrict the depth of the 8mm drillbits so they only go in with the brad point and take out the guesswork with the square and the selfcentering drillbit.
    Looking forward to the kitchen build.
    Also love how the cabinets look in that green. Nice!

      @craftedworkshop  3 місяці тому +1

      Yea I would have thought so too but I have yet to snag anything after working in there for the last two weeks. They decided on the cabinet pulls and can always swap them if they bother them down the road.

    FYI - The Blum EcoDrill comes with orange plastic stops (which are removable and you seem to be missing) for the limiting the travel of the 5mm bits. With stops on it will locate screw holes for you, with stops off it will drill 5mm holes for inserta hinges. No need to prep for screw-on hinges with second step as shown.

    Beautiful work, but i think those draw handles will be grabbing you as you walk by in the narrow space. I would replace with something maybe curved with no angles.

      Just to be clear, there is no “health data” on the app. If they want to sell my journal entries then great! Generally insurance doesn’t cover therapy because our mental health system is completely broken in this country. It is half the price of in-person therapy in my area. I love the app and your hyperbolic statements not grounded in fact are not helpful.

    Your cabinets look great, but is the total weight not a big issue?
    In Europe a van is allowed to weigh a maximimum of 3500 kilograms.
    The cabinets in the campervans here are paperthin en very lite.
    But they are terrible after a few years, because all the screwholes will be worn out.
    Good luck with the rest of your build. The quality is excelent!

    The real question is, how TF do you keep the handles on those wooden screw clamps from just spinning on the threaded part? I have several of them and every handle just spins. 🙄😒

    • @3dmazter
      @3dmazter 3 місяці тому +1

      Drill a small hole trough the handle part and the threaded part and insert a small nail with some CA glue.

    I would have much preferred an actual poop closet behing the drivers seat so you can poop in private, but also dont have to smell it when youre in the car and akwardly have to pull the toilet out into the kitchen to take a poop in front of your wife and have to block access to the front or rear of the van just to use it.

    • @craftedworkshop
      @craftedworkshop  3 місяці тому +1

      As mentioned, this toilet is more for emergency usage. The space behind the driver seat will be for an additional passenger.

    • @cameronbarber3768
      @cameronbarber3768 3 місяці тому

      @@craftedworkshop totally understandable, I only really said that noticing how close you're going to be to the kitchen while using the bathroom, maybe it's just me but Id prefer those areas to be separate. Even though this will be for emergencies, emergency poops are usually the worst. I also couldn't imagine having someone have an emergency poop while on the road and you can make direct eye contact with them through the rear view mirror 🤣😅
