Finally someone who can work with the metric system. Subscribing.

man your scribing technique and explanation of it is by far the best I've seen!!!!

NOTE to builders: You should always fasten structural elements in your van with Rivnuts and use angle brackets with through bolting, and not screws. Rivnuts far exceed the holding power of sheet metal screws, and are not subject to rust where the screw meets metal, where usually only 1/16" of metal around the screw hole is doing the holding and has to do so for 1,000s of miles of rough road without weakening. Also, angle brackets with through bolting requires the plywood be torn apart rather than simply stripping out a wood screw. Most DIYers have no idea of the forces imparted during even a low speed collision. That is why RV manufacturers and trade van outfitters always use rivnuts. Build as if your life depends on it, as it may very well one day. In this build he can get away with this a bit because of the shower wall that runs floor to ceiling and will help strengthen the structure. But without that dividing wall of the shower, these would be significantly under attached to be safe. I'm also not a fan of MDF being used in van builds. It is not as strong as plywood and is subject to moisture degradation, which is why code does not allow it to be used in mobile home sub-floors any longer. To me, it's just not worth the small savings.

Great guide for beginning builders! Is there a video for the cupboard fronts?

Im rebuilding an old caravan and this helps me so much. Thank you!!

Your scribing has opened a whole new world for me thank you.

what a lovely piece of furniture. I enjoyed watching the construction and learned alot. I'm going to use this framework method to build my kitchen overhead cupboard with driftwood facia. thanks

Good morning from New Jersey, USA. Love your channel. You've taught me more and have given me wonderful ideas for my forever van. 3 more years and I'll be living full-time vanlife ❤

Very good work and step by step. The scribe technique I learned on your channel will be a game changer in my build. Thank you for doing these amazing videos.

This is the best video about how to do this cabinets! Tysm!

Thank you so much. Great video.

this was so helpful thank you so much!

Great job👍

Great great video 👍

Great video ❤

Damn Ollie these vids are so good thanks a million.

The scribing method is more than worth the entire video. Superbly done video. Five Stars

Very helpfull video. I am almost finished.. However I miss the second part: fixing the cupboard doors. Did you make a video about that part also?

thank you! i will make this one

Great information.....thx

Nice work, I always prefer using a proper scribe tool (compass type)

Great video with easy-to-follow instructions even for beginners. However, I'm missing instructions for installing the front panels including the opening/closing mechanism. Any follow-up infos on this matter & how you've done it?

Damn he made all that look easy

Nice video Ollie btw do you have a video of putting the cupboard doors on ?

Good info re the Rivnuts. I would like to add in place of the humble self tapper on thin sheet metal, regardless of what you are trying to fix, descent size diameter, large head pop rivets have their place on brackets and fixtures you don't wish to remove all that often. They can be drilled out if need be and fitted correctly, with the load in mind, have good long term holding power with the added benefit of matching similar metals where is a concern. Think of those lovely stainless steel self tappers going into your mild steel roof or other body locations of your vehicle and the electrical current running through same, Galvanic corrosion. The windscreen stone guard on our Toyota Coaster got the pop rivet/anti corrosive sealant treatment, after years of miles flogged the self tapping screw holes out. Not the be all, but an often overlooked fastener alternative, when the correct style/size is purchased and not from Bunnings!

I didnt know LEONARDO DE CAPRIO was buildi g a van lol. Full power m8. Keep on keepin on

hi Ollie love your videos. Can you tell me do you cut an angle the back of the frame to secure level into the sloping ceiling? Or is your ceiling level!!

really awesome technic...thanks a lot for sharing ...lgmario😊😉🙃

Good chippy! Fair play mate. I had a go but it didn’t come out as well as yours! Always struggled with drawing stuff out on paper and relaying it accurately

as a carpenter l was surprised that your wood joints were not glued

Thanks for the video It was amazing. I´m brazilian and I would like to know what wood did you use for the structure, because I didnt understand. Thanks

Great advice on the rivnuts vs screws. On your build, do you have experience on the wood dimensioning? It seems to me that you could save a lot of weight halfing the dimensions?

Thanks for the great video. We will use this for our current build 🙏 What is the tool you used with the freehand circular saw to get a straight cut on your plywood? I definitely need one of those!!

Please can you tell me which gas strut you use? Thanks

You have saved me so much stress 😂, thank you 👍

How did you mount this to the roof?

Nice video. How come you used mdf instead of ply? Cheers!

Hi! First, thank you! This looks to be far less complicated than some other upper cabinet builds that I have seen and your instructions are very clear. Quick question, though - Why use MDF as opposed to something like baltic birch? I'm just nervous about MDF around any kind of moisture (which will invariably exist in a van).

How did you actually attach the structure to the van? You say you screw into the ceiling framing, but anything else? That alone doesn't seem strong enough

What size pocket hole screws are you using?

It was a little flimsier than I expected. I had to add a 2x2 piece of wood to the bottom on the rear side in order to stabilize it better kzfaq.infoUgkxXTh-lz-8W6GcB219vTLp27-MxbZYObBX . It is also starting to bow a little at the outer wall ( I've had it up for about 6 months), I've already had a shelf tumble down because of the bow and the fact that the little shelf brackets are quite short. I went out to home depot and got some longer ones so that the shelves don't tumble down again. Overall, it looks very nice for the price and it holds a lot ( I use it as a pantry). I am very satisfied with my purchase. I just strongly suggest reinforcing it before putting it up.

For the middle struts of the frame, why use 2 pieces of wood instead of 1?

Noice !!!

whats the cielling material?

Do you have a cut list

Can you tell me what the weight is?

Isn't mdf heavier than plywood? Also damp sucker...

What is the depth of your cupboards?

Was that a left hand drive Jumper? I thought you were in the UK?

What about the doors?

What happened to your jumper?

Excellence in simplicity, just add glue.

Do you know any good carpenter in West Sussex Hampshire area. Want to have cabinets made please.

MDF? Are you kidding?

Why don't you use 2x2 for 2 central posts. Instead of 2. Of 2x1 .

MDF?? Couldn't find anything heavier? :P That sucks up water and moisture even better? MDF can't handle water at all afaik ? Why not plywood?

nice build however never use MDF in van builds! it consumes moister

I have done very similar with Woodglut designs.

Nice, but, no glue? :O

Wait, we’re not just supposed to eyeball it?😩😩😩

There are many similar projects in woodglut's plans.

mdf is not that light

You could really do with a better mic for when travelling. Couldn't hear loads of dialogue

MDF is very uncommon in vans because it it has poor specific strength (strength/density) and is not moisture resistant. Do not recommend for van applications.

Not once ounce of wood glue.... shame on you.

Oh, come one. brackets inside as an alternative for not being able to use some simple joinery? This is not light weight, MDF in the same thickness is heavier than plywood. This has nothing to do with building a decent cabinet.

Right...I knew a 10min video wasn't going to properly explain.

MDF has no place in anything described as lightweight. When it comes to scribing forget all this garbage you see online. Just set a pair of compasses to the necessary dimension. I have done this my whole working life and am still using the compasses I've had since I was at school.

this isnt a tutorial.. its watching some dude build his cabinet.. no instructions on how to measure.. bad cuts.. see ya!
