“This wasn’t a still photo.” As someone who likes DIY and trying new projects……I feel your pain with the “wait….what?” moments. Great video and build.

I've been watching Sienna build videos for months. This is the most appealing build I have seen.

Great build & good use of space.

Wow! Impressive build!

So, you missed the "stupid look" part of shop class, but you obviously learned everything else, that was more important. Love your use of logic and humor.

Awesome job! Great work!

Entertaining to watch and something to learn from this video. This needs to have high number of views!

loving the dry humor, super thorough and more helpful then you think brotha!

Good craftsmanship! Folks like you are appreciated!

Very nice job on the build. Also enjoyed the commentary.

Please wear a mask when working with foam. I think you did a fantastic job. I’m a mom and can’t help worrying about safety, sorry.

A true craftsman and a great sense of humor, too. Well done!

I love this design, its not overwhelming ❤

Sooooo cool!!! I bet your customer LOVED it!!! 😍😍😍

I would never have watched this if I didn't know you and your customer, but if I hadn't watched this, I would have totally missed out. Fantastic work: carpentry, design, commentary, videography, faces. Wow!

I love the 'brain fart, slo mo' scene. I'm familiar with that stage and spend a lot of time there. Incredible minivan build!

Wow, I am so impressed with your work. Nice job!!!

IMPRESSIVE build-out of an excellent design - THANKS for taking the time to document the entire construction process, adding your sense of humor to the final cut, and sharing the video.

Brilliant! I hope she loved it. I certainly would. You have taught me a lot just in this one video for when I get my van. I won't be living in it full time. I'll just be a snowbird to Arizona in the winter.

Very impressive. I hope the recipient enjoys it. TFS.

Glad to see those lightening holes in the bed platform. Very good layout.

Very well done young man you have some Craftsman skills

One of the best simple sienna builds I have seen yet!

Love your build, man. So much space when you only need a single bed.

I love that design. The video was not to long at all. It wasn’t long enough. You do good work so watching longer is easy.

Thank you for actually showing the process. I’m not a carpenter so I’m always curious how this stuff is done. Now I know and may be able to attempt it on my own!

This looks amazing. Way cleaner than most builds I've seen, and it still gives the ability to revert it all back afterwards.

This is one of the nicest minivan builds I’ve seen… You are obviously very skilled. Thanks for sharing!

Omg! Thanks so much for the helpful visual on how to trace the contours of the side of the van. I have wondered about this!

Great build, and some of the best commentary ever !

I'm a long time close friend of Linda's. I absolutely LOVE what you created here! Is this what you do for a living? If not, you should - so many people converting vans to travel and even live in now. :) Well done mate, Keith

Nice job! I just took out the back seats put a couple of moving blankets down and put a twin memory foam mattress. I travel for work every month and my van is my home on wheels!

Exceptional build. I loved the sink set up and you left some floor space.

Absolute genius!!!! Thanks for the scribing of the cabinet template... Definitely using this A+++

Great design and workmanship! Thankyou for sharing

Mad skills, wish I had a friend like you! This was entertaining, informative and at times funny too. Great job not just on the build but on your video.

Kudos for keeping it moving, keeping it light and not putting in ads and no goofy faced clickbait thumbnails. You're bucking the trend and I like it. I have two old siennas and you're making me inspired.

You're amazing. Perfect build despite the angles and challenges. Genius with a jigsaw.

A very nice piece of work! Impressive. I think this minivan is one of the best. The 2023 model gives you 36 mpg! Older models from 2020 are 27 mpg. Nothing comes this close. Spacious inside, easy to drive, nice ergonomics and 36 mpg! If I were this owner, I would sell all the extra seats, tracks, everything. Keep it as a conversion and go all the way to making it a cute functional RV for short hauls. Add the overhead fan, extra house batteries, small inverter, gas stove, fridge, and exterior shower. The payload capacity for 2023 is 1330 lbs. Towing capacity is 3500 lbs. Truly a great vehicle. You did a very nice job on the floor and bed. They look superb. I wish you had spent a few more minutes on the finished tour. It was too short. Also please don't put links up on screen till video is over. Thanks for no music!

Well done!

Amazing job! I like your thinking face. I think this is one of my top 3 minivan conversions I’ve seen on You tube. Well done.

Woodworking and design talent and funny too! Great work!!

Very nice work! I ended up doing a “no build” build in my 2013 Sienna. Those seat trolleys are a major pain without floor plywood. You did it right!

Thank You!!! Such a good job of explaining what you did and WHY! This helps me feel like I can do it too! 😊

You did a great job with just building it without plans. You have some talent in carpentry. I think the van owner’s going to be very comfortable living in it or just a weekend trip.

Great storytelling and a dope build. Nicely done. 👍🏻🔥

Excellent work, wish I had half your talent, bravo!!

Back storage area with the shelf that can lift is a smart move. Love the sink area as well. Great job!

That was a really good video! And I sincerely thank you for not making me listen to your tools like so many do. I also appreciate the quality of your work! I get pretty upset when people are too far from the microphone and I can't hear anything they are saying. 👍💕🤗

Well thought out and executed. Nice job, thanks

Really well thought out layout Well done!

That was GREAT!! ☺️ Thanks, your build made this old lady's day. 😊

great build - very informative - and, BONUS, very entertaining commentary too - loved it

Beautiful work! And I love your clamping system :-)

Outstanding!!! Love your tone, and commentary..you made it enjoyable to watch! Such talent and I hope you got paid well...very simple clean design. Love it!

So awesome!!! You are great at what you do ~ carpentry & comedy ❣️👏😆

That came out really nice, man. Great job!

I love to see these small van buildouts, especially when they turn out so well and give the user lots of room

Wow. One of the best microcampers I've seen! Nice work. 👌

The best I've seen yet

Nice layout and well done!

I like this out of all that I have seen

This was a very clean, sturdy and nicely fitted build. Love it!👍🏼

Great job on the build, lots of tips we can use. You have amazing skills and talents, thanks for sharing.

Nice job! Love the style.

great job, I know your friend will enjoy the build, I enjoyed watching this build, and so I decided to Subscribe to your channel , great job, gave it a thumbs up 👍🏻And thanks for Sharing your build and Van Conversion Tour with Us.

That's not a stupid look. Intelligence is not caring how you look or thinking about it when you're working. I know you were being funny, but we are infinite intelligence expressing in all these beautiful creative ways. I would love to know how to do this stuff. ❤

Yo, dude, Audiobooks while you work for the absolute win. Such a hack. Great job on the build.

Really appreciate you documenting the process. Great inspiration!

thanks for the visuals and narration. nice.

Fantastic build! Love your video style and humor.

This is the best I've seen for Sienna and ranks with best overall

This van turned out fantastic !! You did a great job.

Wow fantastic job! I’m getting ready to do a van build on my 2021 Toyota sienna XSE, yes I want to take my backseats out. Yes I’m aware that I’m going to have to get cheating device to deactivate the airbag warning light on the dash. Several videos showing how to do this. It is the perfect camper with the 1500 W inverter system, love using my Insta pot while camping or anything with electricity and not having to have a generator! Also the climate control is fantastic at night when it’s sticky outside! Left my van on for two nights of camping, about 9 1/2 hours each night, and I still averaged a 34 miles per gallon average for that tank!

I want to see it after the resident actually moves in. So far, looks great 👍🏻

The finished product reminds me of Foresty Forest's original van. Good Times.

Wonderful work.

Lovely! I really like the way the legs curve at the top under the bed. Beautifully done. 🌷⭐🌷⭐🌷

Give yourself a pat on the back because you did a fantastic job!

Very cool build, thanks for sharing. I plan on making a build very similar to this. I’m also leaving the same 3rd row seat, but mine will be used to sit on, not folded down.

You are funny, that’s not a stupid look on your face because I could feel the wheels turning and you coming up with the solution!👍🏽😜🥰great job!

What a great layout & build!!!

A man that can still build in this America, how refreshing.🎉

You did such a creative job doing this build. This exactly what I'd love to have for my van.

Not a long video , great stuff.love it. Never too long if one is learning.

Good work on the Mini Van build. Great sense of humor, too. Dry and self deprecating. :)

Great job!!!

Love it love the Simplicity very clean

You did a great job & explained it really well.

So great! You did an amazing job!!!

awesome build. Super clean!

Thank you for sharing the ideas.

you did an excellent job building this!

Legit build! Very nicely done

Don't know what's best the dry humor or the end product! Fantastic job and motivation! :)

This is brilliant. I've often thought that I should do something with my 2006 Sienna where I could travel in it like a camper or even live in it. I envy people with your skills. I wish that I could have something like this done. Well done

Great job on the build , I guess it helps when you have the skill and know how. I would like to build something like this but no to live in it but as a weekend get away. Great job, and thanks for sharing.

It’s a great build, and I liked the open minimalistic result. Everything is well thought out, and beautifully crafted. Well done!

Great ideas, liked the weighed items, will use your ideas in my 2012 Sienna

Wow!😳 Awesome! You did a great job! Beautiful creation!
