Making our Campervan Window Frames | Transit Van Conversion E25

We're getting on with making our van window frames this time! It took a while to figure out how we wanted to frame the windows, so we had left this on our todo list for a while!
We decided to make a box frame recessed into the Transit walls, with a built-in windowsill that we can use to put things on. We used some of our leftover cladding to make the backs of the frames and finished them off with the same Osmo oil that we used for the ceiling.
After the small side window frames were done, we had to tackle the big one!
We're really happy with how they all turned out... even if they they were a little awkward with the strange shapes you get in a van!
Thanks for watching! Any comments or questions? Let us know below!

Your videos are a real treat. When one ends, I cannot wait for the next one! Your commitment to set aright the “wonkiness” and “fiddley bits” of the process is enjoyable to observe even if you must try again to achieve your goals. I also very much enjoy your working relationship, for it reminds of another YT channel I watch called Stud Pack. This is a father and son team, who remodel homes with the same sort of commitment to excellence as you. And, like you, they also have a wonderful working relationship. Frankly, I watch Stud Pack for essentially the same reason I watch you two, and that is how encouraging to is to see father and son, as well as wife and husband, unite in a common goal while sharing an obviously genuine filial bond. God bless you as you forge ahead as creativity is a God-given impetus.

You guys are amazing! Your commitment to solving a problem together is inspiring! If ever there is an apocalypse I want to be in your tribe. You find great solutions and do an amazing job executing them. Thank you for sharing all the details of your build, they really are helpful. I am doing my build alone and with -30% skill and experience so seeing you tackle small (yet troublesome issues) really helps me when I have to navigate the same problem. Thank you so much for creating this content.

Honestly I absolutely love these videos, entertaining and informative in equal measure. I can't wait for the next instalment

Always a treat watching you two go to work 😊. Convering a van is an exercise in patience. I really like the "cubbies" you manufactured and the job you did with the levelling of the shelving.
