I have an opinion that I would like to share with you and all your viewers. I can't thank you enough for not only t time it takes to make videos like this, but the level of craftsmanship, skills that you detail, and t specific things that are important and explained how AND why that it is so. I have worked in residential remodeling most of life and will be using these gems of a specific type of work for my van, Thank you..😅
Genius 🎉 very informative, thank you! Sidenote: if freemasnry is so good why is it so secret? 👹👽
What about contact cement to adhere two pieces together?
Welcome back…. I remember your R&D on the glue and its off the chart…. Great info….
Glue or screw a thin board underneath drawer sliders to enable them to handle more weight
Would like to see more videos on the foam boards.
In the aircraft industry, cabinets, galleys and bulkheads are built in a similar fashion. The panels are fiberglass skinned honeycomb panels assembled with finger joints. Bulkheads are typically made from aluminum skinned honeycomb panels due to high decompression loading. Great video!
Excellent and detailed. Just to be sure what you sourced, for us Europeans, at 12:20, 1/8 inch plywood is 3 mm thick and the 1/2 inch plywood is 12 mm thick. Are you ever using marine plywood or only birch regular. Great job and great video. Thank you!
I have had plans to build some toys over the years. The cost of buying these toys (a truck bed camper and a cabin boat) would probably require me to sell my first born child. I wasn’t sold on the concept of foam as until watching this video all I’ve ever seen it used for was a few trailer campers and kayaks, but I’m very much sold on it now. I will be undertaking these builds in the near future.
this is great and i love the detail. thanks for taking the time to share!
Would have liked to see Elmers.
Any VOC's off these when it gets hot?
Gorilla Original! 🎉👏👏👏
This guy needs to go viral!
Yes, show us the great spots for camping!
Amazing information! Many thanks!
Your wife has a gem of a guy! And I am sure she is a gem of a girl too! ❤
Is there any toxic fumes from using this much foam?
Z
The best one is charge.
I can't help but wonder how clear, water base polyurethane over sailcloth would work. I bet that would look great. I would use it instead of wood or screen.
Maybe try cellulose.
Made in China ?
Failed anchors was a concern of mine. Thanks for answering before I asked the question.
This is really great. I am very happy I found your system prior to starting my project.
Glidden was bought out by PPG (Pittsburgh Paint Group) and the Gripper that they now sell is a different formulation that doesn't work nearly as well as the original Gripper. Have you bought and used the new formulation of Gripper?
Love this!
Ignore this, I’m taking notes! 6:15 notches
When you're putting the gorilla glue into holes, decant the glue into a syringe and use that to put the glue in. You can see how much you're putting in and you can really get the nozzle into that hole!
Great info, this is what I like most about youtube. I'm building a sled/bed that is also the bottom of my tent for winter wilderness camping. Building with foam board, veneer and kevlar. Thanks for the video, I learned a couple things that will help.
Why not use a dough docker (check them out at Domino's) to rough up the surface instead of just gluing things to the smooth surface?
I love your videos, I like how you test these products and show the process, this gives credibility to you and your videos. And I don’t have to waste money on products that don’t work or aren’t as strong. My husband and I built a camper together this summer on a flat bed trailer and it’s too heavy for our little truck. Now after your videos I can see that 1” XPS foam weighs 1/3 the weight. I found your channel because I may purchase a 1992 Chevy Bus G30 and covert it into a camper.
Great comprehensive test! Thanks
Super practical, not just for campers. Thank you!
This retired R&D scientist appreciates your systematic approach to this. Reminds me of being in the lab again.
Hope you're doing good. Would love more comedic education of your build.
Brilliant.... I'm starting to plan my build and had been considering using foam so that I could just live in it until I was sure on the build itself. I googled "foam build" just to get some ideas on how to work with it and found you. Boy, am I glad I dud. I definitely know now this is the way im going.
This is great info. Thanks for uploading and compiling
I didn't doubt YOU, I doubted the plastic lol!
Don't think it will work but nows the time to try it!
Excellent video - 👏👍!
What is the foam made of? Wondering if it gives off any toxins?
Incredible. You're an absolute freaking engineer my guy. In the next couple of years I'm hoping to build something similar.
This is an amazing tutorial. I love it. Thank you for sharing and explaining this so well. As a woman building things I have been building things with this foam but now I have a way to build better with it. I built a little mini laundry shed to travel with me when we rv with 2 adults and 4 children. This will help me replace my wood made base because it is the heaviest part of the little shed. I used wood to make it sturdy but this will help me make it sturdy and light so thanks
As a remodeler/carpenter and a perfectionist and a jack of many trades, I am extremely impressed. I believe you thought of everything. Totally awesome!!
I'm not gonna knock it but I'm not gonna agree its better than a well built wood cabinet grade interior either. very cool in any case
when i see the start engine i was totally expecting the "voron voron voron wa pa pa pa's daddy" pride month mode engine not gonna lie... hahahah i was a little bit disappointed hahahah
I really like your concept and your way of finding the best solutions! According to your problem of too much weight in the drawers for the anchors in the foam, there is a very easy solution. Just support the edges of the drawer slides with small stripes of plywood from the bottom up - and they will carry all the weight without stressing the anchors in up and down movements.
This is my first time seeing this concept. I’ve not yet done a build. I think I would consider using this for external and dividing walls but use wood for the cupboard fronts. Is that possible? Or will screwing into it be an issue. You said something about this but I am learning about carpentry from scratch so I didn’t really understand the terms you used. Sorry can’t find the time stamp now. Could you explain this some more? Also I did laugh a little at the Starwars figures. Reminded me of when I was a kid and my dad made me and my brother an AT-AT out of wood because my parents couldn’t buy the real toy. Good memory. I also have a question, maybe I missed it in the video but what is this foam like for mould, as I live in very damp and interchangeable weather. Mould is one of the biggest issues here.
Some clean, creative, discrete, efficient, safe and ingenious methodology, technology and or features for the, storage, removal, disposal (even if via incineration) of black/waste/water and material should benefit many a fellow nomad.
