You should use the scrap pieces of the resin counter top to make matching cutting boards, even one to fit back into the sink cutout to increase the space of the counter top (not that you need the extra space, looks plenty big enough!)
Hi 👋, Jason , Beautiful job. Well done, but dare I say it., I would’ve had the worktop overhang in the sink, probably by five or 10 mil, that way you can seal the underside of it to the sink, as at the moment you’ve got a joint line which can get grubby or liquid can run under it by doing it over the top, you can see it easier and make it cleaner looking, apart from that, it looks excellent, Phil from the moulin France.
I love the Dura-Resin countertop it turned out beautiful. I think your wife and foreman will be very pleased, I would be:) I also wanted to suggest you might want to look into a small bead trim to go around your wall edges where they meet up with the actual airstream walls, it will give it a more completed look as well as being aesthetically pleasing and you can paint to match the cabinets.
Love it! Great job, you and your family will enjoy it for sure. RVer here, you may want to reconsider the stove. It creates too much heat in the camper. I have one and have only used it for storage. What an awesome honey-do project. Can hardly wait for the next video.
Gotta say I was a little doubtful about the cabinet paint color but it looks amazing with the wallpaper and the cabinet hardware. Also, the foreman is getting so tall and grown-up!
Someone has probably already mentioned this, but be sure to distribute the weight evenly over the axles, and front to back or you could get into a trailer whipping/swerving situation that could even overturn your truck. I have experience looking into those types of accidents. I have learned a lot from your videos and enjoy your self-deprecating sense of humor. Thank you! By the way, you have a beautiful family. Take care.
Jason, you'll want to take a piece of that Duraresin and make a removable cutting board to fit over the sink. It'll add more usable counter space, really comes in handy while camping.
Jason, The kitchen looks great! I really appreciate your narratives of your videos. You are really excellent at saying everything you are doing. I do see an issue though with your videos; especially these videos for the Airstream. You need to keep track of your steps. If you did that, you could reward yourself with some amount of bourbon for every 1,000 steps you do, to make all those back and forth trips more worthwhile....
On the drain for your kitchen sink, you should use plumber putty on the rim of the drain and the rubber and cardboard washers under the sink. The reason for the cardboard is to not let the rubber push out as it gets tight.
Also, before using water, plug all fixtures and add air to check for leaks. Let it set for a couple days with a pressure gauge and one way valve (Google how to check water lines with air) it looked like you used a crimp tool on cinch rings (pex) would hate for you to have a leak after all that work.
I have visions of the faucet hose working its way out of the fixture and slapping around back there as you drive down the road. Might add a few extra weights on the backend to be safe.
Suggestion for you Jason, you should inset a piece of that counter top into the top of one of your drawers to make a cutting board/ counter top extension that you can just lift out and access what’s in the drawer still
Your sink might splash on that beautiful wallpaper? I am so loving this build, Jason you are bonkers to take this on and a hero for what you have achieved so far.
I just found your channel. Love your videos! From someone who sells solid surface, most manufacturers will recommend using 100% silicone to adhere the top to your cabinets(since the solid surface is non-porous and changes dimension with temperature while your wood cabinets will change dimension with changes in relative humidity - - two forces against each other), adding heat reflective tape under the stove lip and building in reinforcement blocks of the same material on the inside corner cutouts to prevent stress cracking. Looking forward to watching the rest of the Airstream build-out!
Outstanding again Jason. You are really embracing the 70's. I honestly think we had that wallpaper in our kitchen (not joking). Can't wait to see how you manager to put a bathroom on the other side with a wheel well in the way and limited space. I think you're going to feel like you're pooping in a cabinet. LOL
Jason, awesome build, love the colors and style. You could consider installing a splashback with the leftover material, I think it would look sharp. antorher thing I've seen is that granite installers use double layer on the edge to make it look thicker, might be an option, Just a couple ideas. looking forward to see the rest of the series..
Really recommend ditching that gasket that comes with the sink that goes between the drain and the sink and using plumbers putty instead to avoid leaks. I’ve never had much luck with the factor gaskets.
Love the RV remodel. Reminds me the DIY network's "Classic Ride" series Airstream remodel done by Kevin Tetz. He spent 80 hours polishing the entire Airstream. Looks beautiful.
I’ve used Durasein in my kitchen, 2 years in, really impressed and it’s lasted so well - whisky bottles don’t scratch it - and I’m from Scotland so I should know. Brilliant to router around sinks and drip grooves etc. BTW you really need a Dalmore Port Wood in your collection - no ice, no water!!!
Those counters came out GREAT, I too don't understand (but I also don't dislike) the "mixed metals" but the latches are so smart, love it all, keep up the wonderful work :)
It is looking BEAUTIFUL! Maybe consider making a sink cover (for extra counter space when needed) out of the leftover resin counter material that would double as a cutting board.
You can also make a cover for the stovetop. Extra countertop space is good, such as when washing a lot of dishes. Would it have been better to slide the sink to the left so that you have a space to stack dirty dishes on one side and clean dishes on the other?
Love your videos! And maybe someone else has pointed this out, but you may reconsider the fiberglass insulation. RV and Van build outs use either spray foam insulation or wool insulation because they handle moisture better than fiberglass. Also fiberglass tends to attract little critters like mice to nest in. Just something to consider.
Hey great sequence as you build out the Airstream.....I've been RVing for years and can tell you there is never enough counter space...suggest you use the cutout portions to cover both the sink and stove to create added counter space..... Tom T
When I used to build cabinets we would make shaker drawer fronts with 1.5” top and bottom rails on the top drawer fronts to match the other shaker fronts. I always thought it was a happy compromise and still looked nice. Also, as a former cabinet guy I feel your pain on that face frame with the flush toe in the middle. I always hated when I had to do that but understand why you had to in this case! Love the videos man, keep ‘‘em coming!
Beautiful job as usual but I have to ask, did you consider the extra weight and that it will mostly be only on the kitchen counter side. Camper sinks are typically plastic and cabinets are usually made from 1/4" plywood over a thin frame so it doesn't make the camper weigh way more. I'm not sure what the campers max weight is or what your tow vehicle is but I'm hoping you considered all that. I would mostly be concerned with the uneven weight where most of it is on one side and with the weight of the cabinet, sink, countertop, and stove all sitting over one wheel. That doesn't even take into account what the cabinet contents will weigh. I hope your camper suspension is up to the task of keeping it level while driving. If your camper starts rocking or drifting left and right, the extra weight on the one side will make those oscillations larger and they can increase in severity and eventually dump the camper on its side, with or without the tow vehicle going over on its side as well because of the hitch connection. At the very least, I would put all the loose things that typically get loaded for a camping trip on the opposite side to try to try to offset the extra cabinet weight. Hopefully, that way the only problem those heavy items give you is worse gas mileage in the tow vehicle. All that aside, as someone who has renovated a camper and is planning on building another one, I'm looking forward to see how your airstream comes out.
Love the decor! Those colors are working. It's opulent. Not sure if thats what you were going for but it works! The airstream build is the highlight of my week. Used to be the tree house😅
That kitchen is turning out better than my house's kitchen! My only suggested change... mount the faucet more to the right (dead corner towards the bedroom wall) and out of the middle of the window. Space is a premium in the kitchen and you can create a custom cover/cutting board out of the extra counter top material that goes over/into the sink reveal for other uses.
The cutout for the stove would make a great "cover" for when you're not using it. It'll expand the counter space for prep if you're cooking outside or doing something cold. You'll probably need to "rim" it with thin strips to get it tight.
I noticed when you put the drain in, you put the rubber gasket on top of the sink opening. It goes under the sink and that paper gasket is needed to act like a lubricant for the giant nut to slide on up against the rubber gasket. You use plumbers putty under the rim of the drain and the top of the sink. It will ooze out as you tighten the nut underneath
Now all you need to do to finish off the kitchen and add a little more work space, is make a cutting board that covers the sink. That would be a nice little project, plus, you can draw up plans that can be adjusted to fit any size sink and offer those plans on the website.
I don't know if you did this or not... But you probably want to run a bead of caulk around the edge of the counter top along the wall. Last thing you need would be water to get behind the cabinets and to rot them out. I still can't get over how awesome the cabinet color and the wall pattern goes together! You wige has a really good eye! She could have her own show!!! Lady Moth Design!
Every week, I come back just to listen to your intro music. I'd love to heaf the entire song... Maybe a highlights video with the audio being just the song.
I found this page because I'm about to start rebuilding a small floathouse on Siltcoos Lake and thought the Airstream rebuilds would be a good place to start. Then I saw you were in Oregon. I'll have to add my name to the patreon contest to put you to work on the lake! PS I'm almost certainly going to steal this entire kitchen look.
Right before you started drilling for the faucet I internally screamed that you should offset the faucet in the corner to not block the window and maximize countertop space. It didn’t work 😂 The countertop is awesome tho!
You'll need some type of backsplash. Maybe a small strip of that countertop material if you have any left? Water quickly migrates along the back of the countertop and will stain.
25:35 I haven't used those drawer slides before, but the soft close looks plenty secure for a trailer without needing any additional magnets. We pulled a pop up camper for a few years and never had any drawers come open, even with the basic economy slides Jayco installed at the factory. Looks fantastic!

Yes for the counter top extension, no to the cutting board. Don't want to eat small pieces of that
Exactly what I came here to say
You didn't watch til the end
@@BDSkin yes I did, don’t know why you think that
You educated me from zero to a decently skilled woodworker, and that changed my life for the better.
Excellent work, man your a trip,no a whole vacation...lmao.....can't wait to see the finished product.....keep them coming....💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
I have 0 intentions of ever restoring an airstream on my own. But watching you build this out is scratching an itch I never knew I had!
It’s confirming what I already suspected. I will never rebuild an rv.
I don’t think I would ever do an airstream build but a regular slab sided trailer? Maybe.
Make sure you do what he did and get an expert company to restore the body.

Jason, just a suggestion for you, use some of your scrap from the counter top and add a back splash.
Your a hoot. Love the video. Make a cutting board out of scrap counter top. 🤩👍🦅😎🇺🇸

Looks great. You could use a little strip of the left over resin to do a backsplash.
Love it! Great job, you and your family will enjoy it for sure.
RVer here, you may want to reconsider the stove. It creates too much heat in the camper. I have one and have only used it for storage. What an awesome honey-do project. Can hardly wait for the next video.
Gotta say I was a little doubtful about the cabinet paint color but it looks amazing with the wallpaper and the cabinet hardware. Also, the foreman is getting so tall and grown-up!
Excellent Jason, congratulations 👋👋
You could use the two left over bits you cut out to fill in the sink and cooker while not in use more work Stravinsky😉
You could use the cut off to make a back splash out of it.
Great work, Jason! Danny DeVito in the back must be so enjoying watching your woodworking!
The Airstream is coming along great!
Love this series Jason.. whats up with the treehouse? Would love to see a Cribs reveal with the Forman introducing his Crib…. That would be gold!!!
Someone has probably already mentioned this, but be sure to distribute the weight evenly over the axles, and front to back or you could get into a trailer whipping/swerving situation that could even overturn your truck. I have experience looking into those types of accidents. I have learned a lot from your videos and enjoy your self-deprecating sense of humor. Thank you! By the way, you have a beautiful family. Take care.
Jason, you'll want to take a piece of that Duraresin and make a removable cutting board to fit over the sink. It'll add more usable counter space, really comes in handy while camping.
Agree on making a removable piece but I would not use resin as a cutting board.
Yeah agreed on the cover, disagreed on cutting on it. The cover also hides unsigthly mess at times...
This camper is gonna be amazing when its finished.
Jason, The kitchen looks great! I really appreciate your narratives of your videos. You are really excellent at saying everything you are doing. I do see an issue though with your videos; especially these videos for the Airstream. You need to keep track of your steps.

On the drain for your kitchen sink, you should use plumber putty on the rim of the drain and the rubber and cardboard washers under the sink. The reason for the cardboard is to not let the rubber push out as it gets tight.
It's also so it can turn without wrinkling the rubber gasket....ask me how I know lol...
@@warofwrath probably the same way I do ;D
Came here looking for this comment when I saw him through the cardboard ring! Haha
Also, before using water, plug all fixtures and add air to check for leaks. Let it set for a couple days with a pressure gauge and one way valve (Google how to check water lines with air) it looked like you used a crimp tool on cinch rings (pex) would hate for you to have a leak after all that work.
Jason you should take the cut off and make an insert for the sink to give you extra counter space
You should make a matching toilet seat from the scrap resin.... just sayin'. Love watching this project and can't wait to see it finished.
Really, marble counter top in a trailer wow!
Oops should have watched a bit longer
I have visions of the faucet hose working its way out of the fixture and slapping around back there as you drive down the road. Might add a few extra weights on the backend to be safe.

Great work! You should put up something to protect the wallpaper from splashback from the sink.
That kitchen looks sick!!!
I enjoy watching every one of these videos, and after every Airstream videoo I go cue up "Airstream" by the Vandals.
Watching this build is so much fun. You're amazing.
Love the DuraResin. Have to keep it in mind.

I love your humor/satire and the skilled thoughtful outcomes of your videos. Don't change anything just keep evolving. Ray Stormont
Hey Jason, just use a portion of the cut-out from the oven or sink for a cutting board.
Outstanding again Jason. You are really embracing the 70's. I honestly think we had that wallpaper in our kitchen (not joking). Can't wait to see how you manager to put a bathroom on the other side with a wheel well in the way and limited space. I think you're going to feel like you're pooping in a cabinet. LOL

Also that thicker edge will hurt less when you bump into it with your hip
Looks fantastic. I love the colours and retro styling. Mrs Hibbs had a great eye for style.
Well I’m from Mississippi and I didn’t notice anything wrong with the sprayer. Looked about like everything in my garage, all normal. ❤
I'm so happy I came across this channel. Really great craftmanship and sense of humor.
Really recommend ditching that gasket that comes with the sink that goes between the drain and the sink and using plumbers putty instead to avoid leaks. I’ve never had much luck with the factor gaskets.
Plumbers putty goes between the basket and the sink the rubber gasket goes under the sink then the cardboard gasket then the nut

Jason, you are very funny....and now I wish our motorhome had duraresin counters.
I give you credit for bravery when you slice small cuts on the table, scares the crap out of me every time
Jason, you should use the piece you cut out for your sink and make a chopping board
Hello, nice work. Greetings from Italy

Are you going to put a mini backsplash on it? Looks great so far.

Hey 📤 I have something for you
Those handles are gorgeous!
If u do get a scratch on the counter u can sand and polish acrylic as well
Use the cutoffs for cutting boards. Be sure to add little rubber feet for stability.
I wouldn't advise that. Resin is toxic and after a few dozen cuts it's going to start removing tiny pieces from the board and be in your food.
Nice work, you’re quality of work is amazing!
Very Nice. Thanks for sharing

Hey 📤 I have something for you
Use the leftover to add shoulder to top of the kitchen
That extendable drill attachment (24:50) is a "must-have" if you work in HVAC.
The cutout for the stove would make a great "cover" for when you're not using it. It'll expand the counter space for prep if you're cooking outside or doing something cold. You'll probably need to "rim" it with thin strips to get it tight.

Are you going to make a backsplash out of the lock piece you cut off(first)?
Maybe add a backsplash under the outlets with some of that left over material?
Wow it’s looking beautiful job well done
Right before you started drilling for the faucet I internally screamed that you should offset the faucet in the corner to not block the window and maximize countertop space. It didn’t work 😂
The countertop is awesome tho!
Stunning!
Use the cut outs to cover stove top and sink for temporary extra counter top
It's starting to look like my Grandma's house, the 70's want their design aesthetic back 😁
It’s looking awesome. I can’t help but wonder if that window above the sink can still open with how close it is to the wall.
Looking awesome!
You'll need some type of backsplash. Maybe a small strip of that countertop material if you have any left? Water quickly migrates along the back of the countertop and will stain.
