I was able to see the lot code on the board and I'm proud to say I made that board at the Rockford, IL plant in 2006.
How cool
Very cool!! I guess you can be satisfied in knowing that not only your work is being put to good work but even more so that you do quality work .. if this guy uses the product and he is obviously very smart and good at want he does it must be good!
these kind of connections are what make the internet worthwhile for me. so cool!
Nice one and now I chatted to the guy who made the board ;)
Winnebago County!
I swear if I ripped all my cabinets out of my motorhome and replaced with this foam I think I'd save about 500lbs. Seriously intriguing and makes me wish I had a van to build from the ground up. Tutorial was THOROUGH and easy to understand. A+!
This is so awesome. As an "older" woman who does not have a space to do a big build requiring a bunch of power tools, this technique lets me do what I want in my van inexpensively, without advanced carpentry skills and helps me save on gas by not having heavy builds. I can't wait to get my van and get started.
:)
Lori Smith - Please read my comment above before you start. This was a good video but there is a WAY better method and material to use.
One of the best building with foam tutorials I've seen yet
I went to school for historic decorative building restoration and for samples we used latex primer on poster board that looked like the real thing when finished. We learned how to do marble, woodgrain (Cherry, Pine, Burl wood, etc.)plus a bunch of faux finishing techniques that would look amazing on this stuff! There are how to books for many of these same techniques if you so desire.
I had planned to buy a small ready made camper but now I want to restore/convert my own. Thanks a lot! (I think, lol).
VERY informative. This guy did a fantastic job of explaining it.
But in future, I would NOT use your head as a rigidity tester. ;)
LOL, think, maybe his Dad called him a 'knucklehead' for a reason...
Best how to video for van building I have ever watched. What a great Idea.
So glad I found this, with the wood prices now this is the best idea I’ve seen for cabinets
I'm about ready to customize the interior my van, and this information is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you for making this video!
god damn it I wanna rebuild my whole rv now haha! great idea. love it. my cabinets are so heavy
and flexible lightweight solar is so cheap that I wanna redo my roof. damn so much cool rv van stuff being built lately
I was thinking with some of the larger vans why not have 6-7 120 flexible panels for close to 900 watts. also with that power you might have incinerating toilets and grey water desalination-reuse.
Also, for extra "stealth" solar for the side of the vehicle -- you could apply a "strip" of flexible solar on the side of the van or RV (on the outside of the vehicle. From the outside of the vehicle, the solar panels would look like pen-striping (like a thick one) from the side of the vehicle. I believe you can actually "cut" the flexible panels to any shape, and the panel with still work! (you might want to fact check me on that; It's been a few years since I discovered this freakish property of the flexible solar panel. You'd have to get the artist in yourself to create the pen-striping shape. But yeah!
Don Decoste Good idea, but maybe even a solar pullout and an all-electric van. push a button a 4' awning comes out on each side at 7' from ground. but there is no reason you could not put panels along the side and it would really generate power in winter. But, the problem might be appearance and theft.
William you could dump the car and drive the superlight camper everywhere
+William Prowse
Hi William I messaged you a month or so ago about keeping electrics down to basics on one of your videos if you remember.
Well I just bought myself a Ford Transit Van $4400AU with 350 watt solar panels, deep cell batteries, Charge power regulator and 1500 w ( Peak ) 1000 w ( continuous ) pure sine inverter already installed.
Still got another 120watts of panels I`ll be leaving as emergency power with another 2 batteries giving 1100 amps of storage at 13.4 volts.
Deep cycle already installed give 1200 amps.
People I bought it off ( a couple ) had already lived in it for 4 years.
They`ve stripped a lot of stuff out already but I`ll be turning into my own setup anyway. Still a long way to go before I can head off though.
Body looks a bit rough but the man kept everything mechanical in tip top condition. I got all the receipts for the work too.
Already bough a toilet and have a bunch of other stuff I`ve been gathering for years just for such a project.
I`ve been scanning sites for Thinsulate ( aluminium sandwiched around bubble wrap ) to complete the insulation process.
Then I found an advert the other day selling 375mm x 25 meter rolls of bubble wrap for $10. I`ll be buying 6 - 8 of them then buying around 4 rolls ( 60 meters each ) of thick kitchen grade aluminium foil using a foil/bubble wrap/foil/bubble wrap/foil layer before the rest of the paneling goes back in.
Doing the insulation like this will save me around $400 on materials if I were to buy the Thinsulate in rolls.
Already got all the glue and tape I`ll need.
Anyway just though I`d let you know.
Hope things are going well.
This guy is Brilliant and explains everything in layman's terms. Thank You so much.
This is beyond amazing, thanks for taking the time to make this detailed video. Thanks to the genius behind the idea as well!
This is one of the best "how to" video I have ever seen. Presenter did an awesome job! I will do this when I get a van.
This is absolutely next level, thanks so much for making such an informative video. I will definetly use this in the future!
Definitely worth watching. The folks building foam model airplanes have been using masking/craft/tissue paper as the tensile layer with excellent results, might be worth checking out. I like the paint idea for adhering the layer...the white glue typically used shrinks as it drys necessitating doing both sides at the same time to minimize/avoid panel warping.
Wow! He is super intelligent, can't wait to try this, you totally opened my mind to a whole new realm of creative options. Your video production is top notch too, I felt like I was watching a episode of This old house or something like that. Good job Jeb and thanks.
this is the most innovative and informative video I've seen in UA-cam. thank you. this is what I've been seeking for years... no resin...commonly available materials...simple tools. Perfect.
Thanks for showing us this! You just saved me heaps of weight. Can't wait to design the inside cabinetry.
I Love this stuff! I'm not a van dweller but it crosses my mind, daily. I like this efficient approach to building and constructing. Great vid!
This is incredible. I don't understand why more people don't do this. I see so many vans where they cover so much of it with stickers anyway so the aesthetic of build material is out the window once it's all covered up
i knew i would want to do something like this ...ever time i see a bunch of wood in vans i am thinking about the amount of weight that is in that
oh yeah, not to mention the fact most of these vans can tow 3,000 pounds no problem....
The most important part is definitely not using wood, that way you have better control while driving. It makes all the difference going lightweight.
Oh NO!!! Now you got me thinking about rebuilding my entire van build again. Wow this is just amazing.
This is awesome information! I've worked with fiberglass in the past, so I get the technique. Very smart and inexpensive method. Thanks for bringing this to us!
7 years ago … you gave me a genius idea.
I have watched literally hundreds of vids on build-outs of vans, but this was hands down the most creative, and informative. I look forward to the paper process to come. I have seen that technique used for floors in a cobb building and it came out great. Great job!
I'm impressed, i'm going to toy around with building a cabinet or something this weekend, but this will definitely be incorporated into my Van build next year, thank you so much for taking the time to share this.
Got a few days to think about what my first test project will be, lol.
KISS!!! This video came at such a great time, I was seriously considering giving up on my interior build out due to previous failed attempts and the complicated nature of trying to scribe all of the katywampus angles and curves in a Ford cargo van!!!
This has me so excited to get started on a van project of my own. This video is so informative, I just love it. Thank you so much!!!
This is a game changer for camper construction. Excellent and well put together video.
With all the aircraft being scrapped these days, you should try and source/collect some scrap aircraft floor panels. Most are a combination of aluminum composite honeycomb. They are fire rated, extremely strong, and lightweight. It would be a perfect material for all this.
You are helping me get the courage to try building some "Furniture" into my truck canopy. Much appreciated!
Very cool!! This is essentially how a surfboard is made. Resin on mesh with a foam core. But paint instead of resin is used.
That is what I call "News I can use" Thanks Jed
Anthony Andreola
worthwhile concept
I'm so happy to see this!! I'm one of those lot of people who this will help out. I used the thicker black mesh for roofing or some other structural use which I found at Lowe's on the base of my kitchen counter. I figured it was cheaper, stronger and wider than the strips of drywall and cement board tape. I'm going to use some to smooth over the bad mud job someone else did. I'm looking forward to making storage for my Astro van and for my house!! So many possibilities!! Thanks guys!!
Ha ha, your not kidding; that idea is gonna help everyone! Thanks for sharing! That guy is smart. Lucky you found him!
That was one of the most amazing things I've seen during my van build research~^^
Its really changed things for a lot of people
Into The Mystery ⓭ why paint and not glue?
@@Into_The_Mystery_13 interesting approach to save money.
funny the sound of that brush on foam gets right up my spine though like teachers fingernails down a blackboard
i guess Im kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to watch newly released movies online?
@Marc Harry I watch on flixzone. You can find it on google :)
This was so amazing! Great idea. This could be so useful for pop-up campers and trailers. Thank you!
Wow thank you so for this video!! Still on the edge of buying a used class b or building my own:) This video is very mind opening!!!
Mind blowing info! This is so awesome.
I’m rebuilding (reconstructing) a 97 Jayco 1207 KB into a rigid side trailer and I’m thinking of how useful this material could be for a ton of applications.
This can be my interior walls if I put 1/8 plywood on one side.
This can be my shower if I seal and tile the other side.
This can be cabinets and counter tops.
I’m so impressed with this concept.
I’m so glad I found this during the demo phase and not after the fact.
Kudos and mucho appreciation!
Wow... I love it! So glad I saw this before I started installing my cabinets.
This is the perfect lightweight material I just love this process I can't wait to make something with this process.
This was an excellent video! Its the one I've been waiting for! When I'm done with my future home on wheels, I'll look you up and let you shoot it on a vid for your channel! Again thank u so every much.
so glad I found your channel.......and couldn't wait to see this particular video. I'm anxious to dive right in....I've got a ton of projects I would like to try using this method and these materials. Thanks so much
Jed, this is Awwmazing!! please make sure that Jamie and his group out at Lake Havasu sees this video they're going to be doing all that work out there and this is totally mind-blowing ! Please make sure he gets it okay ? Thank you so much, this was amazing! I loved it! This is Really the answer that we Females need, we don't pack around a lot of tools and this is just incredible! One thing that I am never personally without and that is a couple of good exacto knives they come in different sizes and work so well. This is absolutely one of my favorite videos I need to check this guy's build out, even though tank is all done I would love to be able to help someone else with this process!🐙 ☺
This video clip is super helpful, thank you so much of showing this! Bravo!
Serious man, you killed it, thanks for this video!
Very, Very Cool video...it so cool to be able to build this way and make cabinets. Its kind of like how a surfboard is built using the strength of fiberglass, but using screen instead of cloth and paint instead of epoxy resin. I will definitely be giving this a try and can't wait to see what you do next with this new found knowledge ...way cool....
Thank you so much for these movies!! This is gold. You're gold. Keep it up :)
+Tash Leigh thanks Tash!
I'm new to all this. But I have to say that this was an amazingly helpful video. Thank you.
Thank you guy's, great stuff ! Really get's the imagination going.
grade A van content, 10/10, great work guys
AWESOME IDEA! I was going to do something similar to this but with cardboard, felt and Fiberglas. Thank you for sharing.
that was like a master class. thumbs up to you two
Wow, this is incredibly useful! Call me "mind blown" and I'm going to use this technique when we move into a bus. Love it!
I love this trick, I'm so glad I found this video. I'm looking forward to using this technique, I have exciting plans for this. It's going to be challenging because I'm planning on using some complex bends. Thank you so much.
Great info, I like the way you guys give other examples of tensile strength products to use.
Awesome vid Jed. Keep the great stuff coming!
I’ve been wanting to build cabinets in my space ship now I’m in business. Thanks!!
Awesome idea! Glad you found this for us.
Great Video Guys... Very Informative !!! so simple, no power tools needed. user friendly is the key. Thanks for Sharing !!!!
Extremely helpful! Thank you very much.
Thank you! I can't wait to try this.
This was a great one. going to use it in my van i think. I'm right at that stage now. just waiting for the cardboard and finishing vid now!
Totally digging this stuff. Will save me a ton of weight and materials!
Great video and explanation. Looking forward to the next installment. Thanks Jed ~jman
I've seen this done in a high dollar rv using fiberglass and carbon fiber absolutely fantastic
man this is so useful and clever trick. I think i need to test this on my van. :)
Awesome video. You changed my game!
I had no idea this was possible! Thank you for sharing :)
I work with an aviation maintenance program and our content teacher is familiar with this kind of build. He recommends light colors to extend the life of this type of construction as sunlight will break it down.
Thanks so much. Since you posted the first video, I was googling like MF looking for more details. Have not found a van I like yet but I am looking and I will be doing this method.
+Gary Parks Check the link in the description, there is write up on it on my website
that was a great video I will be building cabinets like that
Thanks! Very good technique!
excellent, and just what I needed!
Cool I like your technique.Thanks for the info.
Sweet video man! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! Who knew! Thanks for sharing!
This is so cool. Thanks you so much for sharing this knowledge.
Yeah man!
great video.! really cool process thank you !
Thank you for this valuable info!!!!!
Very cool, might have to try this out..
Excellent vid. very professionall. The steps and instructions well done! woo hoo!
Very very cool!! Thank you so much!
To save time, you could apply the screen to the entire sheet of foam board first, build the cabinet, then add corner reinforcement pieces.
That's really a good idea. This might make using aluminum screen more viable, as it can be difficult to work with. But it's much much more rigid than using fiberglass screen
I was thinking the same thing.
Kurt, eeh, he already cuts the screen up after it's been painted over in some places. I'd attach the screen over all flat surfaces with 1 layer of paint. Cut out any holes. Glue the whole cabinet structure together. Attach screen in the corners and joints with a layer of paint. Then apply another layer of paint which would clean up most of the issues..you might have to do a touch up 3rd layer in places. (which you would no matter what) Then do the paperbag thing.
OOOOps! Just realize that I misspoke in the video. XPS is Extruded Polystyrene, not Expanded Polystyrene (EPS which is another type of foam)
Stockholm at night
thank you for bringing your idea into the public eye. This is so epic. I can tell youre a really smart guy. Will you ever make a youtube channel? I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on some things.
Please annotate the video to correct the info.
What is the paint you are using..awesome vid btw
So it is XPS you are using right?
Nice work Mystery13
AWESOME. Thank you Thank you. look forward to the next one. peace.
Thank you for that video. Just what I needed for my next project. Now the video on how they did the brown paper bag coveting.
Coming soon!
can't wait for 2nd part
Good job Keep up the good work
Wow that is awesome!
thanks jed, i was just thinking of how to ad more storage! :)
This is a great idea
Very informative video thanks
I do something similar using Titebond II and woven weed suppressant mesh, which is inexpensive, very strong and after painting produces a smooth finish.
Thank you you had a amazing idea so much help so much
great how to video. looks like a good option for saving weight.
This is really great!
I'm actually getting ready to build a sink cabinet for our camper, and this process is lightweight, strong, and super easy to build.
but I'm gonna take mine one step further...
First off, I'm going to put triangle cut wood blocks inside all my corners so when I screw my cabinets together, I've got something solid to screw into, plus it'll really make my corners ultra-strong! I could see someone accidently falling against one that hasn't been blocked and breaking them. I see you used this idea when you built your wood cabinets.
Second, I'm gonna round off all my corners. The corners of the cabinet, plus the faces of the shelves on the inside. This will give the everything a nice, finished look, and not the raw foam inside the door frames. It'll make it look almost like adobe.
And last, I'm going to cover my entire cabinet with FIBERGLASS RESIN. With a nice layer of resin, you can sand out any lumps and make your surface beautifully flat. That will not only make it again, super strong, but it'll make the surface glassy which will finish it out beautifully.
Awesome video! Thanx for posting this!
Awesome idea!!
great this just what after cheers guys!!!
