Many thanks for watching
Love the work and craftsmanship
Your videos are getting better and better, loving the time lapse (or as you say "the sped up video" lol) Thank you for the time it must take you and for sharing.
Thank you John , it means alot mate.
It will be beautiful, great work Dan !!!.
Many thanks for watching
Gotta say mate, you aint too shabby at that. you should try doing it for a living. ;-) nice job buddy.
Thanks buddy, might try making a career out of it one day haha
As always Dan...👍👍
Thanks Mark, see you soon.
I like those flush doors, really smart. I guess you have to more careful in measuring out though.
Yes it does take longer but they look really good. We don't normally do it this way but the customer asked for it like this and they look great.
Many thanks for watching
Workshop tour ?? Maybe ?
I will ask the bosses
Great video love what you do can you use the the piece you jigsaw out for the doors ? Thanks dan
Sometimes you can but I did buy in an extra sheet of furniture board for the doors and I did use some of it. Many thanks for watching
Hi Dan, great video as always. More detail than normal, which is far more interesting. What size are the door struts and where can I get some. I need some small as poss for my doors. Also the smaller router you use, is that just trimming the inside edge of door to get rid of nibs/chips etc. Many thanks. Wayne. 🚐👍 Also noticed a few Wurth products in your workshop. If you don’t have an account with Wurth, message me and I’ll set you up👍.
Hi Wayne, do you mean the top locker stays? If so not too sure on the size but dont think they make a smaller size than them anyway. If you need some just email the office and they will be able to send you some out.
The openings of the doors and the doors themselves are cut carefully by hand with a jigsaw, then i use a slotter for the t trim to be inserted.
They do have a wurth account but might be worth asking them if your selling as we deals with alot of different companies.
Hope all this helps and many thanks for watching.
Cheers for the videos, really helpful. Do you router the doors to give enough room for the T trims?
No I jigsawed everything by hand on this one👍
Hi Dan Love the videos, must washed 10 or so now, wondered what kind of blade you use in your jigsaw also do you have a close fitting base on the jigsaw to prevent the laminate chipping.
A fine cut metal blade normally depends on the furniture board.
Many thanks for watching 👍
Nice build, where did you purchase the hinges from for the doors?
Thanks, Will
Hi Will, a company called hafele but you can purchase then from B+Q. Many thanks for watching and please don't forget to Subscribe
Hi. Nice job👍
What kind of trim is it at the edges and on the edge of the doors?
I been searching but i dont know what to use to get a result like yours.
Thank you😊
It was a single lip t trim or t section it's sometimes called. You could use double lipped it wouldn't make any difference really. Should be able to find some on ebay.
Hope this helps and many thanks for watching 👍
@@dantheman321 thank you for answering. Do you cut a groove in the edge for the "T" to fit in?
@@tysonDK yes be careful what sized slotter you buy as too small will split the wood and too big the t trim will just fall out 👍
@@dantheman321 i will. Thank you again
Great channel
When you cut doors with jigsaw is that wide enough for the rubbers without making joint wider?
Not quite following you on that one but if you mean is the width of the jigsaw blade wide enough to allow the frame and the door to have the knock on edging the no you need to take more off the door to allow for that. Hope this helps
Many thanks for watching
@@dantheman321 well guessed and yes thank you for your reply, that's what I meant. Would a router work to make the gap wide first time one cut?
@@citroenrelaycampervanselfc9552 it all depends on what knock edging your using and the thickness of it. I think reimo do one which has a specific sized router but for the job but in this case I cut the hole out applied the knock on then drew around the offcut to make the door size. It was abit long winded but it worked👍
Can you tell me where you source the trim that forms the 90° joints on the cupboards and cabinets please Dan. The ones in this video are grey.
I got mine from www.morlanduk.com
@@kenny2kuk thanks Kenny ✌🏼
@@kenny2kuk had a look on their website but I can only see t trim or iron on edging, not the silver 90° joints that run horizontal at the bottom of the wall cabinet fascias???
Try Magnum Motorhomes in Grimsby. Got mine there. 🚐👍
shop.morlanduk.com/vehicle-conversions/accessories they do a plain driftwood walnut
Hi dan is that aluminium profile or plastic?
When u cut doors out did u use that peice u cut out 4 door as how was there room for t trim ?
On this van the profile was plastic but it is usually aluminium. Yes we reused the wood as much as possible sometimes we had to cut a fresh piece but the doors needed making smaller as you say to allow for the t trim.
Many thanks for watching
@@dantheman321 how do u make smaller ,jigsaw? If using router to cut out doors what size bit that gives room 4 the t trim
Can I ask what your preferred insulation material is please Dan?
Its loft insulation, we have been using it for 25 years and never had a problem.
