just going back through all the crafty blinders vids that I missed, Sam. This is a great bit of kit for a swiveling seat when you're a shortie LOL... When I get my viv passenger seat fitted with a swivel, I'll nick this idea off you. Regards as always-Kenny
Hi Sam, just found your channel & love it. I am a pensioner & have just watched your video about your bench seat which is just perfect for what I want to do around the wheel arch of the SWB Transit M7 that I have just bought as a day camper. I will have it more as a bed than a seat incase I have to rest as I have damaged lungs. We are going off for day adventures with our German Shepherd pup so just going to watch the rest of your videos to grab some ideas. Thanks so much, love your relaxed way of explaining. Good luck with your channel & adventures in your van 😊🥰
Thank you so much for your kind words it means so much Wishing you every success with your Day van build If we can help in any way, give me a shout always up for a chat We also have a Facebook group with the same name, so why not join? we have lots of van builders on there that can help and share ideas It would be nice to see how your build is progressing too
@The Crafty Blinders van life oh I will do that Sam. Honestly, you have such a lovely gentle way of explaining things in your videos. I have exciting adventures ahead because I was bedridden for over a year & have lung damage & suppressed immune but I am much better so we have got our pup & I am teaching her to help us as our assistance dog & a PAT Therapy dog if we ever get sick again & I am putting our journey on YT. We live in N. Devon so lots of countryside & seaside adventures, hope to teach her to paddleboard 😂🤣
Hello Sam. Vincent here from Belgium (and south of Spain). Congratulations on Dexter! It's beautiful and impressive. I don't have a van but maybe one day I will buy one and I will certainly be inspired by your videos. I had always thought of looking at the prices for a Mercedes Sprinter or a Fiat Ducato (euro6 for emission standards) but your VW is superb. Some friends from Wales are into steampunk and van and I think I saw their van in your halloween video! It is such a small world ;)
Nice bit of woodwork Big Sam. I'm impressed! You can come and my next van lol😉 Seriously though, you always make stuff look so easy. which it isnt-not for cack handed kenny anyway . cracking how to video for someone contemplating doing theirs. Bessy regs: Kenny
Very nice job, not mentioned but it is the first time I saw this and I wonder if I am right, your brother installed not only slider the regular way but also sliders perpendicular to them to stop the wiggling isn’t it? This wantje pull out feels and is way much sturdier? Best regards, Albert
Top job as ever, Sam....can I ask where you got those round vents in your seat base? I fitted a dc-dc charger under our passenger seat yesterday, and I wanna get some more ventilation to it.....tia 👌👏
try this these are what we use 👍 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285107690732?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=IAMKJlyBTJG&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=qkhVtACcQ9q&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Not to be too pedantic but (😮) what you termed a plunge saw is in fact a multi tool, just in case someone inexperienced tries to find one. I refer to it as a Zuzzzer saw and everyone knows what I mean😂
How did you get permission to use the kitchen worktop and the posh iron..? 🤔😉 Did you know there are 2 small pilot drill holes in the Kreg jig for the screws..?
another great job Sam and nice to see Lisa in the video 🙂
😁👍

Just some rubber bump pads needed front and back....

How did you get permission to use the kitchen worktop and the posh iron..? 🤔😉 Did you know there are 2 small pilot drill holes in the Kreg jig for the screws..?

Poor Lisa looks tired out
