Carpentry Van Tour
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Just a quick walk through of our work van and how we have it fitted out. Some feed back on tools we use as well if that helps . links are below. This new format of episodes will be more of the day to day stuff we do not just the fancy cabinets.
Ive never seen a carpenter or tradesman pull up to a job with as good a setup as you have right there... lucky customers to have you
All I saw on the comments was lucky cu...
"let me put my shades on" it's an understatement 😂
😅
Look at this guy what a pro. Love seeing other high level carpenters out there. I've been feeling a little tired lately but it's nice to see the high level of professionalism. It's motivating. One of these days I'll make a van tour video too I've had fun getting mine set up after finally getting out of an economize and into a transit a few years back. Anyway.. looking good brother 👍
Thanks 🙏
Hey, its is pretty easy to mod the 2 drawer packout into a single drawer if you just cut out the top drawers base and use the extra plastic from the cutout to attach the drawers together. Works for the 3 drawer as well making 1 large drawer and small drawer. Really easy to do.
Nice Van! I enjoyed the video. Came across this looking for ideas for my new van.
Check out my new van video , I updated as well with a second van. I enjoy your videos as well. It’s nice watching someone who actually works real jobs. Most of the social media carpenters come across as inexperienced in field work. Thanks again
Great setup! Love these van tours. Would be great to see how you setup on the jobsite with the mitre saw etc
I’m going to do a video on the miter saw 👍
Nothing better than an organized van.
Amen brother
@@jlgwoodworking3157 hopefully my new promaster comes together quite nicely.
Holy shit. You seriously know your tools, and how to organize a van for efficient work.
Thanks brother💪
Great tour, many thanks from the UK.
Cheers mate
Diamondback Tool Belts are the shit. I’ve had mine for years. Like 7 years of every day use. No rips or tears. Looks like the day I got them if you clean all the saw dust, smudges of caulk and other viscera from it.
I love mine too
I'm so jealous! excellent organization. Those Milwaukee drawer systems are a game changer for sure!
They are awesome
@@jlgwoodworking3157 Would be great if Milwaukee came out with a one big drawer box.
@@Joeshmofoshoyo I have said the same exact thing
Wow great setup. I would be interested in seeing your miter saw bench set up.
I’ll do a short video on that soon
@@jlgwoodworking3157 awesome ! thanks!
Your information is good and useful
Thanks
Yeah, I put a couple of tools on my lists over at Amazon off this tour.
nice setup, i'm revamping my truck with systainers and trying to fine tune everything....constant evolvement!
Having a organized van/trailer/truck makes a huge difference in work flow
Blows my mind that you don't use the festool bit set. By far the best bit set ever made. I bought mine 5 years ago and they are used everyday and still going strong.
I used them from time to time but there not my go to , I like the makita bits
Nice set up! You can change the strobe to a solid light on the cordless Festool, google how to do that, and it will make it a whole lot better for you! I have a lot of the same tools, just in a custom 16' trailer, so nice to see someone else with a very close layout!
Thanks for the tip , the strobe kills me 😅
Top notch setup, 👍 🔨 🇮🇪
Most of the tools inside came from your place 😅 great place to outfit your truck
Awesome van set up!! New subscriber here…look forward to your next videos!
Thanks
Well done. I’m always modifying the shelving in my van. I’m doing LED tape lighting. You should try it.
Yes LED is on my list thanks again
Great organization throughout this van! Tons of tools! I have one complaint. The van itself. I bought a 2017 Promaster brand new ordered with all the options I wanted. I thought it was a great van for a while. At 71k miles I had the #6 cylinder head go out causing a bad skip. $2800 fix and months of waiting on parts during Covid. Also had radiator replaced from 2 cracks! Replaced battery at the same time. Ok great Im back on the road again, crusing along at 91k miles. Another cylinder head #2 out this time. Ok so this time it was a small skip at a certain RPM and I could really just ignore it for now. Ok crusing along at 104k miles. Transmission went out completely! Very disappointed in these vans motor/transmission combo. They are the exact same ones as the Chrysler Town& Country mini vans in a freight van/work van. I ended up trading in my van for a 2021 Mercedes Sprinter V6 diesel. Fingers crossed it does better than the Promaster!
I also had the #5 and #6 go on me . Plus the headlight situation is awful the bulbs are constantly going out. My next van will a Mercedes sprinter
Nice work!!
Thanks
This is what a carpenter van should look like, I hope one day I’ll have a fit out like yours!!
Where do you work out of? I’ve been working for a year and a half now as a trim carpenter/ general carpentry in pa and love it!
Best regards
I’m in New York Westchester county
Thanks for the short explanations on several of your tools (great tour, by the way). Was wondering why you like the Festool impact better than the DeWalt. I had a DeW 18V for many years which I liked just fine. Now have a DeW 20V which works even better. Maybe I've just never used any other impact, thus don't the difference.
Your welcome , as for the impact the festool drives 8” GRK 3/8 lag screws without a problem and has better feel in the hand
Only thing I think you are missing is the partition! Nice setup!!
The partition gets in the way of my seat reclining I’m 6’5”😅
don't crash
@@lenovo1482 😅
My promaster 1500 has a solid partition and it kind of sucks 🤣
@@theeverydaycarpenter5256 a few people said I should have a partition but I’m happy I don’t , I can slide my seat back a few extra inches and since I’m 6’5” every inch helps
You should consider a cage behind the seats for safety.
I removed it couldn’t move my seat back enough , I’m 6’5” needed the leg room
Way too many different batteries lol, nice setup though.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
How did you affix the tall shelving to the van walls?
I took 3/4 plywood strips used self tappers to the metal frame every 6 inches and then I added another layer of 3/4 with wood screws to the piece that was tapped in
Dodge Van, Pro Master? what length and height? thanks
Promaster 159” high roof
nice
Thanks 👍
How come you guys need to carry so many tools at once?
Because a Millwork carpenter uses lots of tools , jobs can vary and you use different tools for different jobs . Most importantly we do this for money so anything that speeds us up is helpful. In the end it’s about speeding production and quality.
So you have to unstack the Milwaukee packouts to access the items in it..... Respect to Milwaukee and everyone that sits at a desk designing packouts that have never been on a job site. Remember they stack digital folders with files not job materials or lumber. Weak bodies.
Almost all the packouts I have are draws so no unstacking
How was the promaster reliability?
It was just ok , I’ve switched to the Mercedes sprinter which is 100 times better
@@jlgwoodworking3157 thank you kindly for the reply.
Hey hello maybe you can help my team a need idea for roofing van my van is ram pro masters please
Send me a PM
Yup, time for a front cab sterilization.
😅😅isn’t that always the case
@@jlgwoodworking3157 I try to get to mine every 3 months and promise myself to keep it up every week. I don’t know if I’m winning on that promise.
@@southhillfarm2795 I always try and lose too😂
Why are you calling Milwaukee tools and battery’s “synco”
Because I’m talking about my Senco battery nailers , F18 fusion nailers that’s why
It is a nice setup but i don’t understand all the redundant tools, its unreal.
What tools are redundant?
Sounds good to me. Just gonna go put all of this on the company card in Joses's name, Foreigners don't have to pay taxes in the United States for 7 years. While everyone born agrees to pay for everything other countries do wrong.
