Hi Paul what screw driver / drill you using please
These have become my my most keenly awaited videos on UA-cam.
Honestly i’m bloody loving it!
The easiest way to scribe any kind of an unusual profile is to use a drafting “compass” with a pencil point that locks and set it for the gap distance between the two boards and just run it along the profile distance. No measuring the gap required!! Easy peasy!!!!
And I prevent the wood splitting by predrilling a smaller pilot hole and countersinking for the screw head before inserting the actual screw!! Even predrill the metal as well!!!
Hi Paul here's a tip if you want it always run cables in a tube dead easy add extras plus replace any faulty in the future I use sink waste pipe it's worth the effort mate
Your starting to give me confidence that I could do this too, really interesting thanks!
I've heard that variable lighting makes all the difference, worth doing from the start😃
For a couple of numptys at van converting you are doing a fine job, looking forward to the finish.
Hi Paul Big fan of your wild camping videos. Been following your progress on your new van. Looking at your video today on installing the tongue and groove cladding. If I could offer you a little advice. I'm a qualified carpenter. The way your doing is perfectly acceptable but you are going to be left with hundreds of screw heads visible. Also moisture could get in through here, rust your screws etc. The proper way is to pin the bottom first piece. With just one pin close to the bottom as possible into the stud behind then pin on the top on the tongue edge. So when you slot your next piece onto it, it covers the pin. A nail gun is favoured for this but perfectly possible with standard stainless steel pins and a panel hammer and punch. Then you repeat the process of pinning the next piece in the same way. When your finished all your fixings are hidden.
That was so worth the extra money and have it done professionally.
Six and a half..!! Great teamwork mate. Cooking on gas. Looking foreward to the next stages. Cheers.
Jo's right - Health and safety first! ✅👌
enjoying watching the van build come together :-)
Looking good Paul. I am enjoying this series.
You are doing a good job there Paul. A couple of pointers if you are interested, when scribing if you either use compasses or an off cut it saves all the continuous marking every 50 mil or so as you can scribe a continuous line with pencil and off cut. Also, bizarrely, it’s best not to scribe to tight to a shape if you don’t need to. The van will twist slightly when you drive and a tight timber scribe can become a bloody nightmare as a squeak that you no longer have access to. The screwing in the lining board, you could use metal cups to give the screws a professional finish or use clips so you don’t see the fixings, ( there will be a lot of screws in the walls and ceiling). The way you are working is much the same as the way a professional does so you are on the right tracks. Main thing is to continually think about the finish and each step that needs done. I say this as a lifelong carpenter and certainly not as condescending. Looks good.
Good job you two. Any more scribing to do, cut a small baton the size of the gap, ie 6 and a half. then run it round the area to scribe with pencil at top. Perfect shape every time. Hope that makes sense.🚌👍
Great stuff.. I was worried for a bit there that you didn't have a jigsaw. 😆
Looking good so far, can't wait for the next update.
It's a great idea. If I could only get my kitchen finished!
Looking good PM, taking shape nicely now 👍
Looking good Paul, looking good!👍👍
Looking good Paul. I think I'll be Jo and enjoy a cuppa while you do the measuring and cutting 🤣😂 Can't wait for the cabinetry to go in. Great stuff.
Jo would have you know that the star of the show only films himself working on the van and only films her drinking tea. He’s such a diva and doesn’t like sharing the limelight 😂
@@happycreativemind 😂🤣
Thanks for filming this, it really makes it look doable!
Bang on , your build is defintely inspiring me to get a wee van as the Mrs is not an outdoor person , so a wee van and some good ideas from you...bang on. Good stuff Derek
Its starting to really look like a campervan now paul. Good Job.
Love the camper van videos! Please keep making them!
You and Thomas Heaton battle of the van builds
Going well Looking Good Paul 👍
loving these, especially the banter between you and your wife. ‘whats the measurement again? 6 and a half’🤣🤭
Great job, Paul
Cuppa Joe 18.. Doing a great job Paul. Do it your way.. Looking forward to end result.
Another great watch Paul!
Doing A Great job mate and most important you n Jo seem to be having fun...👍👍👍👍🤙🤙
Being honest here bud, I watch a lot of van build vids and have built my own van too... your doing an outstanding job, don’t let anyone put you off doing it “their way” ...sure things like electrics and gas need to be done a certain way but the rest of it is how you see fit for you end of story 👍🏼 big thumbs up from me 👍🏼
Possibly a bit late now mate but I've got chop saw /circular saw /jigsaw if you need them
Great video guys!! Loving the conversion👍
Only just come across your channel, I love the” warts anall “ presentation.
Great work you two.
It's really starting to take shape.
I’ve always wondered how to scribe something and you’ve just shown me how it’s done 👌🏻
Good job Paul
5:19 that's an amazing tip! Thank you for sharing!
Coming along nicely mate 👌
Really interesting watching this unfold Paul. You’re doing brilliantly and I’m looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds and watching your future camper van adventures
I'd be shouting it all day long if I had 6 and a half
Great job, great progress guys👍👍
Great progress you two - and I love your enthusiasm and banter when you work together.... A great couple :)
Good luck with your build. 👍
Looking good both well done!
Looks good pal.
Enjoying watching the camper van evolve 👏🏻
Looking good guys
This is looking good!
It's worth taking lots of photos and doing sketches with the measurements of where the battens etc are.
Looks like you're making good progress.
Enjoying this series mate. Looks good fun. 😂
No need to rush it...or get too weary...clearly you are on the way...excellent! !
Great job you 2, coming along nicely.
Loving this set of build videos :) going to look boss when finished
Loving these videos. I've just gone through the playlist again and watched from the beginning!
The title of the video indicates it might have taken more than one attempt. LOL. Approaching 100K subs, I've been with you for a long while now, great to see how the channel as grown. ATB
I don’t understand how there’s ten dislikes already, who would dislike this content?
Probably his neighbours lol
Good work. Cheers for sharing.
Looking good.
Great progress. Really enjoying these videos 👍
Nice job so far.......!
Great videos Paul and Jo, it's really starting to take shape now! It makes me want to do one!
Doing a swell job there guys and gals 🙏 looking a treat Paul 👊😎👊
It’s taking shape and you’re doing a fine job! Look forward to the next instalment 👍
Dunno if its too late but you could run a piece of conduit either side at roof height for running any wires front to back later.
Good job !!
Nice work.
It's great to watch this conversion as it is more akin to most peoples abilities and that makes it real. Being a fab double act helps too. Thank you.
AWESOME WORK YOUNG MAN....
Great watching your project
Loving these posts
That’s coming along really nicely Paul. All credit to you!
Loving this little saga you are doing Paul. Cracking work thumbs up from me.
Excellent work
Looking good 👍
Fair play for having a go, looking good. Cant wait to see how it looks when youre all done.
Keep the cups of Tea coming Jo, it look like another long night. Well done to you both.
Looking good now. It looks like you two are having fun with this build. I hope you are and there are not too many stressful times as I'm sure there are with a build of this scale.....Take care, Bluefin.
Coming on nicely.
Your doing a good job on this. Love the way its coming together. Thanks and stay safe.
Your doing an amazing job ! All your hard work will be worth it. Can't wait to see it finished 👌
Very Good Paul. Thank You for a very enjoyable vid.
great job so far Paul!
Coming along nicely guys, windows look great and cladding looks nice. Really making me want to attempt a similar project
Nice work Paul. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the videos. Really enjoy watching them.
Enjoying all the installments of this conversion.Thanks very much indeed for the really handy tip how to cut out the panelling around the wheel arch.This will come in handy when i do mine.ATB
Your solution for measuring contours for cutting is brilliant, never seen it before and as it’s something I always struggle with I’ll definitely be trying your method.
Loving the van build...😁
Its impressive after watching each video. I'm learning too, especially the tips with the tongue and groove sections. Waiting with bated breathe for future installments. Great vid guys!!
Vinyl pores are required. Otherwise, the moisture caused by condensation will not dry out and mold may form, resulting in a foul odor. So, the insulation materials that come out these days have a lot of small pores.
happy 100k Paul
Good effort 👍
You make it look very easy. Either it is or your editing is very good 🤣. Great work by the way, love watching your videos.
Good job mr messner
Do it foresty forrest style,in an aldi car park while living in it!!
Really keen to send the result Paul 👍
*see the end result....
Paul could you hurry up with the van as I'm following you and the wife said I'm taking too long. Looking Good.
Coming up on 100K. That's stardom baby. Have your people call my people and let's do lunch.
😀😀 definitely shows star quality
