Racking. Makes a huge difference to productivity when you can get at exactly what you need straight away, really need to sort mine out now!
It really dose mark, not only that but means I can actually get materials in there now rather then just having tools all over the floor
Makes it easy to steal too. The long pull out drawers are the best approach with the added security they give
@@jcoul1sc I know, had mine cleaned out three times. Horrible.
It's not just practical when a customer is near your van it makes you look very professional and very organised just the same as your appearance look professional and your works the same. 👍
Completely agree kelvin, I was away taught turn up and time be polite and look tidy, goes along way 🍻
My van is a shithole at the mo mate . Got some ideas from ur vid . Thanks
Nice job. I moved away from the side racking in my swb low height trafic and instead created a sub floor above the wheel arch boxing strategically supported by a 2x1 frame. I've got one big drawer from the side door that goes all the way to the other side of the van, it's pretty huge. I did away with all my cases and systainers and all my battery power tools and 3 routers fit in their perfectly. In the rear door I made two drawers using the full width, they go all the way back to the side of the side door drawer, so again, they are huge. I put all other things in them, loads of space and even mastic tubes can fit standing up right. This leaves me effectively an empty floor for my tool bags and stands etc. I further went on to create partitions about a foot high just to keep things separate and stop them flying around and to give the tools protection if I'm carrying doors or sheets over the top of them. , I'm really happy with it and I've got no dead space. I can find things easily and more importantly put them back afterwards easily.
Another bonus with the side drawer especially, is that I've got secondary security locks fitted and for a thief the only option would be to peel the top of the side door to gain access, they couldn't open the power tool drawer if they wanted to, firstly there's no space to slide it out, well maybe 9 inches, but also it's all friction fit, no drawer runners, it takes some leaning back to open it normally but would be impossible from above.
Racking :) I've just found your page as a happy accident when looking for the essential items needed as a carpenter. I've watched through about 5 of your videos today and i'm learning so much from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the internet :) Hitting the subscribe button
That’s great Charlotte, so glad that you’ve found the channel and hit subscribe, loads of videos to come 👍🏻
good skills mate great job
Cheers Dave! 👍🍻
Racking, hi Lewis Great little racking system and straight forward, I have done a whole false floor of the bottom of my van so I can lay sheets and doors flat and put my long straight edges in between the joists , but definitely restrict getting any sort of tone bag on top as it’s above the wheel arch level , I love the idea of drilling holes for the tubes so you keep them upright mine are in are in a cubbyhole laid in there so it’s a nightmare to see what is what definitely going to do your Method for the tubes, great idea and video mate 👌🏼👍🏻 !!
Racking, I have the same van and have been struggling on how to rack it, thankyou for the inspiration 😁
That’s awesome buddy, let me know how you get on buddy 🍻
Great job! I'm not doing anything for a van, but it's nice to see how I could do racking for my tool shed
It’s noice to know my videos are interesting enough to watch even if you’re not planning on doing the project ! 🍻
Racking great vid - liked the technique with the jig saw
Cheers mark, it really helps with break out and seeing where your going 🍻
Racking: you kept it simple and functional which I guess makes it easier to adapt as time goes on. It that a short wheel base van, I noticed you showed the image of the 8x4s on the diagonal.
Thanks for the video mate.
Cheers Tom, yes mate I like to keep it clean and tidy, makes life easier. Yes you can get 8x4 sheets in a short wheel base, I can get about 6 sheets of 18mm mdf with my current setup
Top tier racking, that is mate
Cheers Leo 🍻
The racking looks tidy , great job .👍
Cheers Chris 🍻
Good video, given me some good ideas
Cheers buddy, that’s awesome ! Let me know how you get on ! 🍻
Racking. Great use of space Lewis I always love a look in the back of a tradesman's van !! Great Build and great video
Nice one Steve ! Much appreciated mate Lewis
Racking, love seeing how other chippies rack out there vans. Carpet on the shelves is a nice touch, really cuts down on rattle and if you point the carpet pile towards the van exterior it stops stuff sliding of the shelves as well.
Yeah I’ve been thinking about carpeting the base, I’m not sure yet, I normally go in all gun blazing but with this one I’m trying to think things through a little more
Super nice racking. Well done.
Cheers buddy, much appreciated 🍻
Racking, great job.
Cracking job mate , did my van this weekend as I was fed up trying to find things
I feel you Lee, it’s a right pain isn’t it mate 🍻
@@LTWCarpentry going to do the same as you mate , top job 👍
Racking, love the videos as always! 🙏🏼 nice job
Cheers buddy! Much appreciated, glad you are enjoying them 🍻
Racking, nice job mate. You can even take the rollers off your stand. And stand it up vertically. Gives you even more room. Makes a massive difference
Yes I have done this in the past, this works fine for now but I may change it
I’m on my second van set and made a slight angle to my shelves…keeps things put. And a small lip stiffens and lets sheetgoods be clamped to the rack face vertically when floor space is needed. Plywood on the ceiling let’s long items have safe storage (tracks and poles)
Racking. Great video Lewis as usual. I done my van in lockdown with bits I had laying around. I wish I could start again, but as you know, it's a nightmare taking everything back out again .
Yes mate it’s all well and good thinking “I’ll do it again@ but in reality it’s much harder then that
Racking. Great layout for carpenters van. Look at trade tidy the sell apaper towel holder that your missing or first aid kit shelf
Nice one Paul, I have an idea for paper towel holder, as for the first aid kit that lives under the passenger seat in the front
Racking lovely job 👍🏻
Cheers Barrie 🍻
Racking. Great video
Cheers Jacob 🍻
Make sure to install all anti-theft measures you can find if you are leaving all of this in there overnight. Nice work, looks much more professional.
Good demo of how to fit out a van for the tools you use. I did get all the way through and thought the result was a good one. Of course, the difficulty is that our workflow tends to change over time, as do our tools.
Having loads of little storage areas - as I have in the workshop - can be a problem. I, too, have become rather cluttered in that department, and have to have a periodic clear out, or I just end up spending ages looking for things.
Yes I find the same, I end up just shoving stuff in compartments to get them out the way and end up massively cluttered !
Recently I helped my brother do his van, We built a slightly raised floor so full sheets could be stored without impeding access to the tool rack.
Works surprisingly well. Fits around 10 sheets of 12.5mil plasterboard.
Yes a raised bed can work very well in a van, I stoped doing it as I can insulation a lot of the time and you can fit much in with a raised bed
Racking. great vid mate
Cheers Callum 👍🍻
Racking, great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Racking. Good job makes my effort look awful. I’ll have to learn how to do that scribing as I wasn’t aware
I can do a video on it if it helps buddy

😂😂😂 cheers mate !
Def need a van tour mate. Racking

Racking: great job and a good use of space, would put small bungee straps across all the boxes to hold them place 👍
I did think I would have to but to be honest they have been fine
Racking. Great video thanks for sharing your lessons from your old van

Great build, well done !!!!! racking
Thank you very much Michael 🍻
Racking. Spot on, as always Lewis 👍🏻
Cheers Neil ! I really appreciate it 🍻
Racking, something very satisfying doing your racking in the van, I’ve redone mine 3 times in a year and a half and I’m planning on a 4th.
Ohh wow ! That’s dedication there !
@@LTWCarpentry dedication or OCD one of them lol, problem arises when you get a new tool, it then needs its own space 😂
Love the new racking, made good use of the space on the drivers side. Racking 😂
Nice one Shaun ! Yes mate I’m well happy with it 🍻
Racking, looks good mate.
We always learn from the ‘great idea’ we had before and what we hated 😂
Hope it works for you 👍🏻
It’s working for now but I will probably change my mind in a few months 😂😂
@@LTWCarpentry my racking is fine, it’s the van! I need the SLWB high roof, you can get in and out
Nice racking
Cheers David 🍻
nice job mate
Cheers buddy 🍻
Racking. Have you tried getting the square out, yet? Looks mighty tight to me…
Square comes out no problem at all 👍🏻
Racking, tidy job mate. Be tackling mine soon when I get some dry weather. So I can actually work outside.
Cheers Mike ! Keep me updated with how yours comes along mate 🍻
Racking mate another great video 👌
Cheer brain ! Always good to see you in the comments buddy 🍻
As expected, another good video, Racking.
Cheers Chris ! Much appreciated 🍻
Racking. Looks great mate. Nicely organised 👍

Racking, nice job, keep it all neat 👍
Thanks Gavin ! 🍻
Good to see another good video doing the racking keep up the good work and have a good Bank Holiday simon
Thank you very much Simon ! And you also buddy 🍻
Put some carpet down on the floor as it deadens the noise in the back when your driving and it helps to protect something you've manufactured when delivering. Racking
I have carpet that I lay down when needed buddy, I don’t keep it down constantly as I like use the leaf blower
@LTWCarpentry I use a leaf blower but I also get my wife to hoover it out cos if I hoover it she'll still go over it.🙂
Racking 👍🏻
Cheers buddy 🍻
I know it's such a small thing, but why not have one saw blade facing down and the other facing up so they don't get bent or put any strain in the handles
To be honest mate theses saws are pretty robust, I’ve been doing it this way for years and never had an issue with the saws bending ect. They just spring right back
Racking. Looks good Lewis 👍
Cheer Vic 🍻
nice fit out basic and functional racking
Cheers buddy, simple is sometimes the best way isn’t it 🍻
when you used the jigsaw you did it underneith, is that how its meant to be done?
Its easier to follow the line underneath and it gives a cleaner cut on the surfice 🍻👍
Racking looks good
Thank you very much Kevin 🍻
racking starting to look good mate
Cheers Chris ! Much appreciated 🍻
Racking, another job well done Cheers
Cheers buddy ! Always good to see you in the comments 🍻
Racking turned out well m8, mines constantly evolving.
Cheers Dean, yes my old one did aswell
Racking . Good organisation is key 👏👍
Cheers buddy ! Much appreciated ! 🍻
Racking
Nice n tidy now 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice one Stuart ! Much better now mate 🍻
Nice racking mate, I keep saying I’m going to do mine but I never seem to find the time to
Racking!
Looks great, what extraction are you using for your plunge saw there? Looking for something similar atm
Looks great, what extraction are you using for your plunge saw there? Looking for something similar atm
Racking. Will you be able to get the square out ok. Looks a bit of a tight fit.
Racking, very interesting this, mine is messy and I hate working like that. I quite like how you sorted level and guide rail storage.
Just wondering why you didn't go for lwb when you got a new van, would lwb not suit you better for this kind of work?
Yes the lwb was an option but ultimately I don’t really need it, this is the same van as I had before and it work fine for my needs so I stuck with it.
@LTWCarpentry got it. Going to copy your racking a little bit, thanks for sharing
Nice and neat 👌
Cheers George ! Much appreciated ! 🍻
Racking. Nicely done buddy, what length screws did you use to fix to the plywood on the van sides?
Cheers Dave, I used 30mm screws for the most part
@@LTWCarpentry thanks buddy
Does weight distribution matter when putting up shelves?
Racking, looking good.
Cheers Roy ! Much appreciated 🍻
what size ply did u use mate
Racking, great set up
Cheers Alan 🍻
Racking nice job mate
Cheers bill 🍻
Racking 👍well organised
Cheers Paul 🍻
Racking !!
Cheers Andrew 🍻
Racking Another good video.
Cheers Paul ! Much appreciated 🍻
Good job with the racking
Cheers buddy ! Much appreciated ! 🍻
Good racking but personally I wouldn't have used glue as inevitably you'll be adjusting things in the next few months.
I'd also have angled the shelves to stop items falling out when going round corners.
I didn’t use to glue racking but found that after a while it would start to come apart with all the movement of the van.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Really appreciate it
That's a nice RACK!! LOL
lol, cheers branden 🍻
Racking 👌🏾
Cheers eldorado 🍻
intresting racking video
