Cracking video Henry. Love watching these Van builds. What about that saw 😳. That’s a whopper mate 👍

Well done Mate, it’s coming along nicely. That’s going to look great when it’s all done. Like the lights and they sit in great! Take care Henry, catch you on the next one. All the best, Graham.👍👍📸📸

Looking good 👏

Looking good 👍

Great job Henry...lookin smart 👍

Wow that is an old/antique saw you were using. Coming along nicely though 👍🏻

Keep going buddy your doing great. Love that beast of a sawn lol

Your doing a great job buddy.

Jez Henry that hand saw should be in museum man.. loving the progress

That old handsaw looks evil medevial

Your videos are a great source of photo advice and motivation. You are a super role model, and for that I thank you. That said, as a cardiologist I cannot stress strongly enough that you and everyone else should stay as far away from Red Bull and other highly caffeinated beverages as possible. If you need a pick-me-up, I suggest you take your own advice and go for a walk and listen to the birds and critters who are talking to you. All the best.

Interesting work, you done. I never converted a car into a camper, but inside I wouldn't need wood. Reason one: Over the time the boards can be warped. Reason two: Wood isn't fire resistant. One tip for you, when you drill into wood: Fix a second board (you don't need anymore) under the board you have work on. Now you can drill in one time. That's much easier. Regards, Dirk.

Brilliant job so far, love watching van builds. Even if you did one long ass van build installment a week id watch the hell out of that

It's coming along nicely, I can't wait to see the next instalment.

Henry, I think you need a bigger saw😂😂. Another good update and good to see the progress you’ve made, coming along great

A woolly hat full of Herdwicks!….love it!….😘🤣😎

Looking good I was hesitant to watch , but with your down to earth view I figured I would give it a shot, and have not been disappointed.

Fine saw. Piece of antiques...🙂. All in all, great job👍

You have it looking good Henry! Can't wait to see it finished!

Thanks for sharing your work.... great job so far & looking forward to your next video... cheers from Australia 😀

Template! If you cut the cardboard to the width of the exposed “tongue & groove” then hold in place where your actual length will go and slowly cut away the cardboard. Then you have your cut out to draw onto your wood. Fun to watch. 👍

Excellent work so far. Great job on the hole drill for the lights, I HATE having to spend a bunch of money for a tool I'm only going to use once. Great creativity on your part.

You're doing a great job Henry, well done! (Sydney Australia)

Looking good. Thanks for sharing your progress!

This reminds me of when I built a shed from scratch with no plans, absolute nightmare it was, and i was so glad to see the back of it. That much, I only half painted it... That was a year ago haha well played. Loving the work and cant wait tio see you out and about in your van!

You’re doing well. You might want to purchase a contour gauge if you have more circle or difficult cuts to make, the gauge will give you fast and accurate cuts.

It's coming along nicely Henry. Steady away man.

Hi Henry, the van is coming along great, but, get yourself a new saw mate, maybe mention B&Q or something in your video and you will perhaps find one sitting at your front door hahaha. Oh yes, while I remember, I am sure you can buy a wood putty or something that would fill in those wee spaces around the vent and give it a much nicer finish. Keep going , your doing amazing, love watching how your progressing 😁👍

Apologies if this has been said in another comment already, or if you have plans to sort it at a later date. But you might find it easier to sand all those ceiling planks before you finally install them. If they are screwed in you could probably remove them and do it. I would def recommend sanding them down, as they looked quite rough and splintery still, even if you don't plan to paint them. You'll be glad of the extra effort down the line I'm sure. Lights look great though, as does the new window!.

Looking good Henry, the van is coming on.

Have to hand it to you. It looks well. That saw tho. Bit ott for that 8mm board. Joking, I am a big believer in "the best tool, is the one you have"

I have grandson babysitting duties, if I didn't I would love to help. Looks great and will defo be an asset. Ed

Nice one Henry, great progress on “The Blue Jay” need to be on the look out for it next time your up in Bonnie Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Really enjoying the van build Henry thank u for sharing

Brilliant mate. Coming on nicely 👌

Looking great

Its looking good Henry Like the flush fitting lights. Man, "that saw" it just about fits in garage 😀, i suppose what can cut a lot can cut a little. Bet you are already dreaming about having some great trips out in it. I know i would be.

Looks like you are advancing well Henry! Learning while you build is always difficult, it'll make it easier next time LOL! Advice #1... buy a new saw, it will make a world of difference in the ease & quality of the cut.

Henry Turner, Your ‘Blue Jay’ is coming along! I already admire your Photo/Video skills, and now I admire your attention to details, and the way you fitted those boards like you did. 👍 Having worked in the Trades, as a Trim Carpenter in another season of Life, I admired your ability to cut those boards around that light. Cardboard templates are always good. I might suggest using a utility knife to cut it out; easier than scissors, and more accurate! When you were drilling with the hole saw, you could have reamed the hole more, by moving the drill side to side, and maybe saved you from having to file? Juss sayin... Awesome work! That’s gonna be one cozy Van! Crack on! Cheers from across the Pond. Stay Safe and Healthy! 👍👍👍✌🏻🔨📷🚙🇬🇧🇺🇸😁

Hey Henry! We're polar opposite from each other. Me: former carpenter / aspiring photographer. You: photographer / aspiring carpen...(.?.) Ha, I think not. It's KILLING me watching you struggle with your old hand saw. Like me using my 100 year old antique wooden tripod instead of my iFootage Gazelle! Wish I could drop in to help you so you could get back out and do what you do best. Keep up your signature attitude! It helps me when I switch from Auto to M! Yikes! Ha!

Well done buddy looking really good 👍

Good job mate.

Like the comedy saw mate, might want to look into beefing up the suspension depending on what you put in the back?

Well done Henry, not sure if i like watching these or the photo videos more now 😁

now that's a saw!!!

Hi Henry, well done mate it's looking good up to now. Could I suggest getting a new panel saw, it will make the job easier for you! Retired carpenter/joiner. See you on the next adventure.

That saw looks like something straight out of an old horror movie.

Happy to watch your progress, and glad to hear you'll be upgrading your stereo. As a lover of music, I appreciate and insist on a decent system in my vehicle. If I may ask - Henry, what type of tunes do you enjoy?

Exciting times , the van is coming together nicely. Cant wait to see it finished. Also would love to know what tunes you are planning on having? Hope its something rockin.

Henry Should have took your fletner vent out ,fitted your planks and put you hole cutter back through roof ,then refit vent ,, that how I fit them at work ,it coming on ,chap All very personalised to your own taste ,👍👍👍

Hi , Nice and very informative video! Would you mind to give me a little advice? I’m going to install 3 lights in my renault trafic van. Question is. The old lights has a 3 core cable and most of led lights has only red and black wire. How can I install 2 wire led into 3 wire circuit? Many thanks

Hi Henry have you done another video since this one as I don't seem to have any more videos. Would be great to see how your blue Jay is coming along. Sarah.

Nice work so far.

That saw Henry 😬 good job done anyways 👍🏻

That's a saw and a half youv'e got there, pal.

Coming along nicely, random question, did you consider using no nails adhesive instead of screws, or would that not have worked, ?

Did you fall asleep in the barber’s chair - ouch😁?

Did you buy that hand saw form Noah?

I literally spat my coffee everywhere when that precision wood saw came out !! Nearly had my eye out !! Can you imagine the tetanus jab for that bad boy!!

Henry, Henry. Stay away from the Red Bull buddy. Drank them bad boys yhe whole time I was in Iraq and Afghanistan and I've nothing but issues because of that.
