Brilliant, the perfect example of the use of the ticking stick, didn't think anyone used this method these days, great video thank you
Thank you for the comment! It is a very handy method for doing some task isn’t it!👍🏼
There are so many of these instructional videos on youtube and this one is actually the best! Should have many more views! You've done a great job and it's very well explained. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks a lot!!👍🏼
Like some other comments. I’ve seen loads of videos on this but nothing as accurate and professional as yours. I’m still trying to work this method out but your work is outstanding! Thanks George
Thanks a lot! If there are bits you are unsure on I can try and explain it a bit better? It is a very useful method once you get the hang of it. Thanks again for the comment I appreciate it!👍🏼 @georgeshaw2607
when you laid that first board in the back of the van it all made sense lol, tidy job
Thank you!😆
I've got a better idea: Buy the mat (rubber or carpet) that is custom made to fit in your van. Now you have a template. It give you not only a base for all the ridiculous angles and cut outs, but you also have a nice surfact to lay over the wood after you put it in.
I get your point 100% and them rubber mats are great but in terms of costs, this only cost me around £30 for the ply and that’s all I really needed. After the video I also got an off cut of carpet and fitted that on top.
You also have a great approach sir and your video was awesome! @@mwjoinery
Appreciate it👍🏼 and thanks for your first suggestion as well. Always open to any criticism/ suggestions😁
Outstanding job. Brilliant. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you! Appreciate the comment😄👍🏼
Thanks for sharing this information. This was helpful, useful, clearly presented, and the videography was really good for your first video. I liked how you slid the tie down covers into place.
Thanks a lot! Appreciate it! Definitely need to put some more time into it and make a few more videos soon! Hope they will be of help to you as well😄
That’s the best I’ve ever seen, and I’ve watched lots of videos on this 👍🏼
Thanks a lot! Really appreciate it😁👍🏼
Very skillful work
Thanks a lot!!
Pure Brilliant 👏
Thanks a lot! Appreciate the comment😁
You deserve it. I had never heard of a tick stick till this video. You made a hard job easy. I have watched tones of videos of guys taking each measurement and writing them down then going to the work peace. Nice work, bud.
Thanks again!😁👍🏼
brilliant well done mate.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate the comment👍🏼
Top job
Thank you!😄
Coming from a bad boy carpenter like myself I can see your also a bad boy carpenter 👌🏼
Thank you😄👍🏼
Pretty sick...I just used a template of floor protecter sheet
Yeah that is a good idea using that. It does come in very handy for templates👍🏼
I watched this and thought the Template was a good idea, it took a while for it to sink in how you were doing with it but then I caught on. (I think).
The part I am having trouble with is when you are transferring this to the ply from the offcut?
You have the offcut on the ply 1:25 but you don't mention where to position it on the ply to transfer the marks?
Or am I missing something?
Also, you are not using a full length piece, so do you have to go down the van by placing the offcut next to where the offcut was when you marked it and do it all again?
(I haven't even got a van yet, but looking all this stuff up ready for when I do).
Cheers.
All you have to do is make sure all of your marks fit on the sheet below and make sure the template stays exactly still once you start. I did this by doing the template first then just laid it on the sheet of ply where I thought would be close. Then before you make and marks just use the stick and check it on the points you think will be closest to the edge of the board and move it until they all fit.
And then as for the template not being full sized that doesn’t matter too much as long as the tick reaches in the furthest corners and still has enough to draw round on the template.
I’m not sure if I have understood your question correctly and if my reply answers it? If not will you try and explain it again and I will try help you out as much as I can
Thank you for watching and I hope this helps?😁
Wow, thanks a lot. I've never seen this method before, excellent stuff. I'm at the floor stage of conversion, and I'm definitely going to give it a go.
What grade sand paper for the ply edges is the most suitable from your experience.
Thanks a lot for the comment. I have since got rid of my van and just have a car… keep thinking about getting a van to convert and I’m getting very tempted! Hope yours goes to plan!
I can’t remember what I used exactly but for most things 80 and 120 grit covers most bases so I would recommend them.
Thanks again👍🏼
This is commonly referred to as the "tick stick method"
It is indeed👍🏼 Thank you for watching!
Cant believe how many dog- sh vids i had to watch till i found this. Will take a minute to worl out wth is happening but i know this is whats up. Thx and hope you get more views in future because this is top-tier
Thanks a lot!😁
I was looking at doing my lwb connect but don't think I will now not got half them tools didn't realise there was this much involved.
Thanks for watching! Yeah in all fairness it is a bit of a tricky task. It’s definitely doable with more basic tools but if you aren’t 100% confident doing them i think you can buy pre cut ones on ebay for that type of van👍🏼
Looks amazing finish but haven't a clue what's going on or how you get started 😢
Hi, thank you. It is a bit of a confusing thing to explain especially when it is not in person. If you search ticking stick method on UA-cam it will show you some tutorials of how that method is used. Then I just used that method on a slightly bigger scale. I did also try and explain it a bit in the captions on the video if that helps at all? Thanks for watching
Cool
Thank you👍🏼
pucker job .... new sub here
Thank you! I have plenty of new videos planned for the near future!👍🏼
@@mwjoinery super your doing some great content need more 👌
What is the use of boarding the floor isnt the mat enough for flat?
I boarded it just because most vans these days come with like a hard plastic floor in them but they follow the contours of the floor for some reason rather than making them flat. I don’t understand why they don’t just make them flat personally because sliding any sheets in on the contoured floor was a nightmare. Thank you for watching👍🏼
What can van make is this for?
Hi there, what did you use to glue the wood flooring onto the floor of the van?
Hi, It was just some all purpose adhesive. I would definitely recommend you to screw it down if possible rather than using the adhesive. Thank you for watching😄
Bro what hole saw are you using? My ones like takinng my wrist with them
It’s actually an unbranded one i found in the garage what is probably as old as me!😆 just don’t apply much pressure and keep your drill on the slowest setting!👍🏼
@@mwjoinery 🤔 Nooice! Will try that
Where are you based? Can you do my van please :-D
Hi, I’m based in yorkshire. I’m sorry but I haven’t got time at the minute to take on any side jobs. If you have a search on ebay you can get some decent pre cut sheets to fit your van and they was fairly cheap when i last looked mate👍🏼
what glue are you using ?
Hi, sorry for the slow reply. I just used some multi purpose adhesive because it was a fairly new van so didn’t want to be screwing through the floor. I would say it would be better to screw it though looking back now. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the Reply will screw it @@mwjoinery
No worries😁👍🏼
Another instructional video with stupid music to distract.
Seriously with this music...🤮
I got hard watching this
Well that is definitely the most random comment I have had so far…😆
@@mwjoinery 🤣 picking up new van this weekend. For the wall panels, do you use self tapping screws
Very nice, what van have you gone for? I did with this van mate yes. But on my van at work I didn’t have any so just piloted the metal will a small drill bit and used just ordinary wood screws. It actually got hold just as good. It hasn’t toppled over yet and it’s been in about 3 years😆
@@mwjoinery a vaxhaul vivaro 2018 plate. No ply in the back. Need to protect it 🤣
Haha yeah definitely need to get some down! My work van is a vivaro and I really like it👍🏼
