Its confirmed! You have OCD George, like the rest of us precision fanatics. Ha, ha! Funny story about Va Fangool... My Italian friend from teenage years was visiting India. A street urchin was pestering a tourist, and in sheer irritation he cried out, "Vaffanculo!". She spun around and said, "Un altro italiano!" (Another Italian!), and they joined forces to explore Benares, India. Only the Italians could invent such a lovely word for an insult.

I love how particular and careful you are. You take your time and do it right. It's how I like things done.

That was a treat: two humble road videos on one sunday! Enjoyed the highly educational content, brought in a pleasant way, with good video and sound recording and great video editing. Thank you.

Two Humble Road videos in one day!!!! It's a pretty good way to start the week.

You out did yourself this time!! Can’t wait to see what you do with the CNC router!! While you are relaxing later this Sunday evening, grab a Belgian Ale and go to NBC Sport YT channel to watch the highlights of today’s Liège-Bastogne-Liège!!!

I worked with a guy that called what you do 'fussy work'. George, your finicky fussy work is fantabulous.

Yep, too much college partying -1970-74! That one made me smile as I watched you work and, at the same time, reminisced about a party or two...ha! As one of my dorm pals, Mel, would say upon hearing a good humorous line, he’d say...”I’m divin’ out that window.” Where are you, Mel?

Wow that was a lot of info! My tiny brain was starting to hurt watching this. Viewing your videos is not only great for the DIY folks, it’s also great for others to realize why custom builds are so pricey. Because I’ve been watching your builds from the beginning I was pleased to realize I knew some of the steps you would be taking to get those measurements correctly. When I first saw on FB or IG that this would be a 2 part episode I thought I was going to have to wait for another week to see it complete. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to see them both today. Thanks for another great video and the fun outtakes, now my week has officially begun. 🚐❤️🛠👍🏽

Well I guess my question has already been addressed, in the comments, about reusing the templates. “I sound like a guy selling bologna.” I love your humor! That, and your precision, keep me coming back 👍💕😊

I'm obsessed with how detailed you are. Can't wait to see the finished product.

The Harbor Freight cheapo clamps will probably work for me, as I have no “World-Class Custom Van Shop” with which to wear them out so fast. It’ll take me years before I have to shell for more cheapies… (I priced ‘ole Bessey & she is pricey)

New to you! First build for me in a mini cargo van and I was terrified to make and use templates and panels of wood, not anymore! Thanks for the confidence! ❤

Man your prefinished looks much nicer than what we get from the supplier here in Denver. More voids than any thing you find at a big box store.

Thanks George , you have given us lots of good tips . I am always trying to up my game . I am working on an 08 sprinter . Funny thing when sourcing the 3/4 Baltic birch ,the specialty wood shop only carries it in 5X5 sheets ? If you are interested in seeing some amazing CNC wood work , go to( van city van life ). he had a guy called Happy camper kits rebuild his van . The guy honestly sat with the keyboard on his knee's and finished carving out a window frame . Thanks again

Your dedication to detail is amazing and inspiring

I think you work for 'big cardboard' 😂 great videos, I love the way you think and work.

love the dont waste material statement...u sir are very efficient...enjoying the build

George, you need to start saving these template shapes for future use. Just imagine typing a few keystrokes and watch your CNC router cut these shapes for you! That's lounge chair coffee time! 😁

George, wonderful as always. Hope you are still enjoying the process.👍

Pride in his work, he is so good like many experts he makes the difficult look easy.

My Grandmother use to say that also. I never here that word ever on the west coast. 😅😅😅 Good one.

Thank you George! Beautiful works! 👍😍

Impressive attention to detail 👍 sometimes, there’s an A/B side on the prefinished ply - and flipping them would end up with a B facing out. It’s also possible to apply a single coat of Gleam marine varnish with microfiber cloth directly on the scratched area and have it disappear most of the time

Ok I love your channel and building my first and only van I could never film and work...lol? But the best box cutter and I have nothing to do with this company. I have carried one for 6+ years and I've given them to friends they are great, cheap, slim and easy....!!

Great videos, double treat, very informative as always and well presented. Just impressed that you give all your techniques and work practises away in these videos and the amount of time it takes to produce and edit and upload them. Keep up the good work :)

Impressive attention to detail, Perfect.

Georgia was a great Sunday video and boy you must go to a lot of cardboard. Like always, learning something new from you. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Wow , two video a week. I like your video.

Good work, I hope that you are feeling better!

Take a plaster bandage and put it on transparent foil over the wheel arch. After 15 minutes you have the best stencil.

Great job George

Always great information

Good to see you are back at it! Nice stuff today!

George, Most track saw manufacturers make special clamps for their tracks that slide in the channel and clamp from underneath, and thus are completely out of the way and don’t cause the track to tip up - not to mention faster. Not sure if Kreg makes any, but the channels seem to be similar in size across most. I use the DeWalt track saw quick clamps in my Festool tracks because they are more convenient (and cheaper) than Festool (no surprise).

Looking good!

George, love your focus and attention to detail - the hallmark of a craftsman. One suggestion, which I hope does not diminish my prior statement or your pride in any way. You have an excellent circular saw there and likely a very sharp blade which is probably hiding the possibility of the problem/solution I'm about to describe: On that first panel you cut in the video -> Put the finish side _down_ when cutting with a circular saw. The blade teeth are striking the material as the blade enters the material. Whereas the way you had the panel oriented (finish side up) the blade is exiting the finished face. This causes splintering and possibly what you describe as a "blow out" in your video. No (minor) blemishes to remedy means faster product delivery in the end and keeps your options open.

George, love your work. I once worked for Alton Paper Box Board. We made the stuff you use as templates, I think. Alton did not like it to be called "cardboard." They called it "box board" or "corrugated paper board."

George, I find scribing fun as well. My garage will also end before the front of the wheel well. Do you have a video that shows how you will finish the garage wall off? Thank you.

Save yourself some headache and get the clamps from the rail manufacturer. I'm pretty sure kreg makes some for that track.

Does anyone else feel like this would be how it is learning how to build a van over the summer at your uncle's shop? When he said, "Good eye," I felt like a fifteen year old getting a pat on the back. I wasn't even the one to spot the flaw.

lol yay im here now :)

At least you "look at the lens!" Now. ;)

Yup he's finally turned Aussie... And I quote "good eye, good eye". And good eye mate to you too. Crazy you say?

Thanks. Like #72.

Your Grandma taught you well : )

😎

Hi George, great video video! Do you have any videos about how to make a template for a wall that will be perpendicular to the van wall and fit snug into its curve? Thanks!

George outstanding work, have you ever thought about selling the wall templates???

I lived in Italy for three years. Served with NATO Italian soldati, they assured me that va fangul' was a term of endearment. So, that was the first thing I said to my ex-wife after the divorce. ;-)

BINGE WATCHING YOUR BUILD. I love the cardboard mock up. Where do you get big sheets of cardboard? You have many great saving ideas and skill. Thank you for your videos

hahhahahaha - nice italian there at the end.... goodness

Yippee! I must have missed when the table w the stops was introduced. Is it a Festool? Or Humble made from 80/20. Kreg track saw. Is it better than Makita or Festool?

Would putting the year of the van on the template be helpful? Do the van bodies change that much?

Bonjour je trouve vos vidéo exceptionnelle mais je ne parle pas votre langue et pas de traduction en français dommage !! Merci quand même pour le partage de votre super travail.

We love this channel! We are looking for a Ford Transit high roof extended van for a conversion. It doesn't look like you use firring strips to attach the walls unless I've missed it somewhere in another video. How do you attach the walls?

Did I miss something. Looked like you traded minor scratch for knot holes?

Will the wall panels expand under hot weather? Do you need to leave gaps between the panels and the frame for thermal expansion?

If the material is that delicate, how is it going to hold up in an RV for 5, 10, 15 years?

Did you just sneak a Romancing The Stone reference in there?

hello george, great video as always. just a quick one bud, been looking for those big whopping pieces of cardboard everywhere, cant find them!! where abouts do you get them? loving the builds! dave

Where do you get those huge, clean pieces of cardboard?

Did you "cut" the part 1. Anyway, I love to see these golden moments.

Hey George, Can you tell me where you get your large cardboard sheets? I don't need a large quantity and what I find online (Papermart, Uline, Grainger) all have crazy shipping cost ($125-$150) on a $75 order of (20) 4'x8' sheets. Any suggestions welcome, thanks.

Did anyone else watch Part 2 before Part 1?

Which wireless lav system are you using? Good content as always!

Hey George - - What would you build into the "Lil Mule" ? :)

great stuff always- where are u getting pre finished plywood plz?

George is there a way to communicate with you privately? I would like an estimate on a van build please. Bar.

Pre finished ? are you saying you buy it like that ? not sure its available here in the UK !!!!!!!!!!!!

ahbang goole ! no clue LOL

Where do you source those large sheets of clean cardboard

Part1?
