Crackin' job. I like the clamped guide for jigsaw cuts on the plywood AND the angle brace. Never seen either before & I often profess I've seen everything. Lookin' great.
This is the second DIY van build that didn't involve sponsors for every part of it. The other is Foresty Forest. Sponsored builds take forever because they have to get the item in every shot or give detailed instructions. You two are just showings us materials, telling us what you're doing and just doing it. Doesn't seem as daunting when you're not bombarded with technical terms and name brands. I know I appreciate this series a lot!
10:25 I really appreciated the chaf. It was good fun and a bit of a look behind the scenes. (And I learned a new word for my second language. Always love this!) Breaking the work down to small packages, which can be done in a reasonable time, is one of the most important things in a project. I often thought, well that will be in in an hour, and it took 4 hours. Like a reverse Scotty moment.
Sorry Paul but I'm with Jo on the Chaff front. Van is coming along nicely, won't be long until you will be out on your first overnighter at this rate. Thanks for posting.
I’m looking forward to seeing the end result and your adventures. Probably with Paul outside in his favourite tent of the week and Mrs Messner comfortably wrapped up inside with a brew!
Seeing how Mrs Messner gives you a bit of a verbal jab now and then, such fun. The chaff keeps it real. The van is starting to look amazing, can't wait for the next video.
Life would be so much easier with a work bench, but you're doing a great job without one, so what do I know! Those corner clamps look brilliant. And as you're both vertically challenged you can always retreat inside the van! ;-) Cheers.
Great videos Paul. Little tip in case you have any more Plywood to cut. When you have measured the lines for your plywood cuts, run a Stanley knife down the line to score it. This will help cut the top layer uniformly and will help with less burred edges when using a jigsaw/circular saw. This will then lessen the amount of sanding on the edges required :)
Good to see people giving tips rather than telling you how you should have done it. Not interested in converting a van myself but looking forward to the final product and the adventures where it may take you. 👍👍
Brilliant series that i am really enjoying, the trouble is i wan't to see some more and iv'e even watched some twice : ) Looking forward to the next installment and i bet Wickes are too ; )
Uz are doing a great job! Well done! I am pleased u got a expert in for the the windows as that was my concern! Keep up the great work ur doing. Mark Shaw.
Ye keep it all in warts an all lol it’s looking great now your both doing such a swell job it’s as if you’ve done a million vans before 🙏 till the next one 👊🚚👊
Not considered a loo and shower Paul? Really doesn't need to take up loads of room, gives you the full package and means you can - where permitted - get a bit closer to nature than a commercial camping site. 👍
I'll be honest Paul, I have no plans to do a camper van conversion. But I have found this little series you've done most enjoyable to watch. Look forward to seeing more of the completed camper van on tour!
I’m loving this series so far. Thank you for showing the little mistakes and the bits you need to redo instead of pretending like everything is easy and perfect on the first attempt. And I think it’s great that you’re doing it with what you’ve got instead of a whole workshop and thousands of dollars of tools... it makes it seem so much more realistic and possible for someone like me. Cheers from California!
Your van looks great but it's all more work than I would ever want to do. I have a no-build build in my minivan and "debuilt" it the other day in 20 minutes to return it to an empty back van. It works great for me.
Enjoying the videos. I use the screwdriver bit in my drill to make a basic countersink for the screws which helps to prevent splitting of the timber. Put the bit in the hole and move round in a large circle.
Really enjoying this series of vids. It appeals as I feel like I’m treat like an equal, not a diy genius. Therefore I’m encouraged to have a go , cheers to both of you.
What a great job, for a couple of people who haven’t done anything like this before, your doing marvellous, mate. You both will really enjoy the diesel heater when out and about.

I agree with Jo and appreciate the chaff!
This!
I can confirm that the chaff is definitely appreciated!

Yeah, the chaff is funny, keep it in. 👍🤣
Keep the Chaff in Paul!
I’m really enjoying this series! Can’t wait to see the finished project. 🚙 🚙 🚙
PS I like the chaff!
Joe's right don't cut the chaff
Your doing brill
I have to say your wife is right - a wee bit of chaff to accompany the otherwise slick production gives it a very watchable quality!
Just a tip,learn to extend your index finger on your cutting hand while sawing it helps to control the saw better👈👉
Shes not wrong Paul we love the chaff.
Paul your content is getting much better every episode (It was good anyway) 10/10
Jo’s always got a brew on ☕️
I like the chaff too.
a nice bit of chaff at the end. and liked too. thanks for sharing your project. I am having a good time watching things develop.
I love the way Jo quietly and tactfully keeps you grounded. I have a Jo too.... Your van conversion looks amazing!

I really like seeing one's partner partake in projects like this, often times us guys will do everything ourselves but teamwork builds stronger bonds.
Sorry Paul but I'm with Jo on the Chaff front. Van is coming along nicely, won't be long until you will be out on your first overnighter at this rate. Thanks for posting.
I already wanted to do this, now I know I can. Even the electrics!
I’m looking forward to seeing the end result and your adventures. Probably with Paul outside in his favourite tent of the week and Mrs Messner comfortably wrapped up inside with a brew!

I Agree with Jo, love hearing the chatter. Great build and maybe a project I might have the confidence to undertake after watching your conversion.
Life would be so much easier with a work bench, but you're doing a great job without one, so what do I know! Those corner clamps look brilliant. And as you're both vertically challenged you can always retreat inside the van! ;-) Cheers.

These are great to watch and the chat is good
G.I. Joe with the Kung Fu grip = Trading Places. good job on the seating/storage frames.
Great build , good effort .....keep the chaff !!!
Great job, may be worth adding PVA glue when jointing strengthen the joints and cut down creaking later,
Brilliant series that i am really enjoying, the trouble is i wan't to see some more and iv'e even watched some twice : )
Looking forward to the next installment and i bet Wickes are too ; )
Love the chaff, guys!!

Yeah, keep the banter 👍 nice series 👏
Uz are doing a great job! Well done! I am pleased u got a expert in for the the windows as that was my concern! Keep up the great work ur doing. Mark Shaw.

Really enjoying these vlogs keep them coming
Ye keep it all in warts an all lol it’s looking great now your both doing such a swell job it’s as if you’ve done a million vans before 🙏 till the next one 👊🚚👊
Great vid! Love the chaff lol
Well done guys you're doing an awesome job, esp with basic tools. I love the way you just crack on and do it.
You should try a pull saw (Dozuki or similar)
Not considered a loo and shower Paul? Really doesn't need to take up loads of room, gives you the full package and means you can - where permitted - get a bit closer to nature than a commercial camping site. 👍
Excellent stuff guys, coming along nicely and I’m here definitely for the chaff......🚐🙌🏻😂
Looking good Paul. Van too!
The chaff and the laugh makes us happy. Thank you 😃
I'll be honest Paul, I have no plans to do a camper van conversion. But I have found this little series you've done most enjoyable to watch. Look forward to seeing more of the completed camper van on tour!
Van is coming on great 👍🏻
I think I appreciate the "chaff"!!
I’m loving this series so far. Thank you for showing the little mistakes and the bits you need to redo instead of pretending like everything is easy and perfect on the first attempt. And I think it’s great that you’re doing it with what you’ve got instead of a whole workshop and thousands of dollars of tools... it makes it seem so much more realistic and possible for someone like me. Cheers from California!
Joe is always correct , easier to go with the flow 😉👍
it’s coming together so nicelyyy, at the end please compare it with that little model Jo made
You guys are a hoot! Love watching the progress.
I think we all enjoy the chaff 🤣 great content looking forward to the next one 👍
All of the chaff :) Also, I'm in Sheffield - if you need to borrow a circular saw let me know
Looks great. Truth be told we tune for Jo and her wisdom and the chaff.
You're certainly cracking on with the van. Love the chaff, more chaff please. 😊
Didn't expect to like this van series, as a non driver.. but I've enjoyed it a lot as I do like DIY stuff. Wish they were a little longer mind.
Real enjoying this series. I have been thinking about doing a van for about 2 years but never got started. You have me inspired.
It's looking awesome buddy.
We like the chaff
longer vids please :) i could watch all day lol
Coming along very nicely - fridge and hob in and happy days, won’t even have to leave the van to get a cuppa 🤣
Your van looks great but it's all more work than I would ever want to do. I have a no-build build in my minivan and "debuilt" it the other day in 20 minutes to return it to an empty back van.
It works great for me.
I must admit l am rivitted 😜 to this van conversion. Can't wait for the next installment.
It is really looking great.
i don't know why, but i am enjoying watching the van being made
Love your content Paul! Been watching for a year and a half now!
The chaff keeps it real it was just the same when we built our van grt fun
Making a really pro job of that hilleberg van Paul top notch 👍🏻
You are not going to win wit Jo... love the van build
Come on get on with it.......lol. I can't wait to see the finished van. Brilliant effort both of you.
Enjoying the videos. I use the screwdriver bit in my drill to make a basic countersink for the screws which helps to prevent splitting of the timber. Put the bit in the hole and move round in a large circle.
God isnt that chap lucky to have jo about him, shes so hilarious man!
Loving the chaff
Hi paul. Love this. Can you talk about your plans for the build. Do you have a drawing.😀
Love the van video series. 👍
Really enjoying this series of vids. It appeals as I feel like I’m treat like an equal, not a diy genius. Therefore I’m encouraged to have a go , cheers to both of you.
Another informative and intuitive video, keep them coming Paul. By the way, the chaff/banter works brilliantly, keep it in!!
A cheap mitre saw would've served you really well. Great work though and detail.
Thanks for another great video Mr and Mrs DIY.
It’s all about the chaff 😂😂 coming along nicely fella 👍🏻
I've been in absolute awe watching this. Congratulations. Seriously impressive work.
Really enjoying this series. Well done, guys!!
Great video Paul, you explain everything really well. It’s good to see your wife getting involved. Your a good team .
G.I joe with the Kung foo grip , trading places , Eddie Murphy . Classic !
Best quote in the film.. also , have a look at how much an original GI Joe: Kung foo grip figurine is on EBay.. 500 bucks..
You must be well proud Paul. Great stuff.
Good to see the van coming along mate. Chaff away !!
Hats off Paul and cuppa Jo. Doing a fantastic job.. Great Times and fun for you both on your travels...
What a great job, for a couple of people who haven’t done anything like this before, your doing marvellous, mate. You both will really enjoy the diesel heater when out and about.
I am enjoying this greatly. This is going to add a whole new chapter 2 your adventures
You two are having fun with it and thats the most important thing. Coming along nicely too.
Great wee bit o chat
Coming along great. Keep at it, you will be soon enjoying the fruit of your labours 👍
Looking so good now Paul. Really enjoying this series
Lovely stuff! Can't believe how quickly you're powering through it. I'd still be having a brew and thinking about it.
Very Impressive Paul really taking shape 👌
Great video but the boss is correct, keep the chaff in. Keep going and keep safe mate 👍
You and Jo have done excellent workmanship on the Van looking awesome well done.
Loving the chaff - looking forward to seeing the desiel heater - can't make my mind up about that given the hole you need to put in the floor.
You where right as always Jo, I for one like the chaff, glad you kept it in. Great job guys looking forward to the next video.👍🏻
