What does this mean? How are washers not load bearing?

That sounds like a difficult situation, I am sorry to hear! Hopefully my camper build will help give you some ideas to maximize space. Best of luck!

Hey are you interested in how much it this build cost me, or are you looking to chat about hiring me to build out your van? The materials (plywood, 2x4 and hardware) wasn't all that expensive. If you want to talk more about working together, please reach out via email at nolan771@gmail.com.

Thanks a bunch for the comment! Cheers

Heck ya! It's been a great improvement to the office space. You got this!

Glad it helped! Thanks a bunch for the comment. Good luck if you're giving it a try!

Best of luck! Hopefully it's a fairly straightforward repair. I would imagine the buttons just click on with plastic clips or something.

Thank you so much for your kind words! Cheers!

I ordered a premade fretboard online. So long as you have the scale length correct, then the fretboard should line up well.

I love to hear that! I love my Odyssey, they are great cars. Make sure to keep the transmission serviced properly!!

Oh interesting! I haven't heard of any of that history, I just built the design based on what felt right for my aesthetic. Glad to hear others have had similar ideas as me in the past.

Thank you! Yes, it's probably more comfortable than my bed at home. I found some cushion covers on amazon and they worked great. The link is in the video description if you want to pick some up.

I was worried about that too originally, but the tension is strong enough and I haven't had a single problem yet!

Thanks for the comment!

I'm sure that would also work great as well! It might not be as durable, but would probably feel better on the wall

Ca glue would likely not be flexible enough

Thank you! I will be releasing it on an album soon which can be streamed!

@@nolangordin Keep me updated- it really struck me heavily- Much love from Motown

Any updates on song?

@@DetroitFettyghost Hey again, thanks for following up! So thankful to hear that you enjoy the song. I actually just released it last week, it's called New Orleans on the album 'Everything is Borrowed' by The Polaroid Bear available on all streaming services or on my site at nolangordin.com.

Right on! I love that thing, such a fun project vehicle!

Wow thank you so much for the comment! I appreciate those kind words!

Thanks! I appreciate the comment!

Thanks for the comment! I would love to have a second one to avoid retuning every time. Maybe I will make another! Thanks for the comment, it's nice to hear from another steel player!

I wish I could!

Wow thank you for such a nice comment! I am glad the video was helpful for you. I also prefer when creators talk about their process during the build as well. Cheers!

That's amazing! I love this design, so I hope you are able to get your 07 up and running with the bed soon. Thanks for the comment!

I hear ya, it's definitely not an ideal solution but it's given me a few more months of life out of my shoes. I figure that's better than throwing them away and spending $200 on new ones right away!

Thanks for the comment! Hopefully my cheapy solution works for you!

Thanks for the comment! In my generation of Odyssey (2nd gen) the spare tire is stored in a compartment under the floor which can be accessed from inside just behind the front two seats. I've seen that space be repurposed for storage, but I opted to keep my spare there for the same reason as you! Good luck with your conversion!

Mine(07 exl) bolts on to the side of the driver's side rear wall... Perfect location cuz it doesn't block line of vision whilst driving. It came that way, but I know others have it in the floor of the van... It should be easy enough to create a hole to bolt it into the wall even if it wasn't made that way.... I feel like it creates a unique sort of decorating....

Wow thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment! I'm glad you appreciated my attention to detail. It's fun to be able to make a design that's perfectly suited for your needs. Cheers friend!

@@nolangordin 😁👍

I'm sure it would help! If you have air coming in from one spot and leaving from another, I would imagine that would be enough to keep dust and fumes moving.

Thank you for the comment, I am glad you enjoyed the build!

Yes much better for chilling. I think the seatbelts would be pretty safe since they are attached to dyneema, but yes the paracord would likely break.

Thanks! Yes it is minimal but worked for my needs

Thanks a bunch for the comment, cheers!

I'm 6'3 would this van fit me to sleep in?​@@nolangordin

Ooh that's a great idea, thanks for the suggestion!

My generation Odyssey doesn't have floor vents, they all are through the roof. Good luck with your design!

Ya I found that you have to really add a lot of rubber dust for it to be less slippery.

Ya I am sure they are pretty similar, I got mine from Walmart and it works great!

Thanks for the comment!

Thats good feedback, thanks for the comment!

Haha definitely not. I'm more worried about being strapped in too tightly to where someone couldn't get out

@@nolangordinThat isn't how most injuries/deaths happen, though.

Haha please do! I am planning on building a truck camper next

Hey unfortunately I don't have those measurements off hand, but if I remember correctly, the storage height under the bed platform is between 7-10 inches and the top of the bed cushion to the roof is about 34". Also, my van's transmission recently gave out on me, so I am looking to sell the bed platform. Would you be interested in buying it? It will fit easily into any second generation Odyssey. I would also be happy to sell the car itself if you're willing to put in the time / money to get the repairs done. Let me know!

@@nolangordin too bad that the transmission gave out; good luck for the bigger and better things you mentioned elsewhere in the comments! I'm north of the border and way off to the East so I'm not interested in either, but may I please know the approximate cost of materials on your build?

I cut them just to the right size of the window so that they just slide into the trim of the windows and they hold themselves up. The back window ended up falling a bit, so I ended up adding some suction cups to that one. Here are the ones I used: amzn.to/3ZWzxak

haha I suppose if you're trying to just cover up the scuffs?

It has a little storage spot in the floor right behind the front seats

@@nolangordin doughnut spare or full size spare?

@@suburbansteadsolutions It's just a donut spare, and that's been sufficient enough for me every time I've had a flat.

Yes, they are Certano brand!

Never mind, you made it out of PVC pipes. Very cool. 10:20

Thanks! Yes it wasn't too hard to manipulate with a heat gun

Thanks! Glad to hear you dig it!

Thank you so much for the comment! I'll have to check out some of your builds! I didn't end up grounding the strings, but I did wrap the inside of the pickup cavity with aluminum tape. So far I haven't had any trouble. What problems could come up with an ungrounded bridge?

@@nolangordinSince the magnetic pickup induces an electrical field on the strings, quite often you can get an annoying hum that will only go away when you touch the strings (which creates a path to ground that cancels out the hum) and comes back when you're not touching the strings. Lining the pickup cavity with copper tape functions to block out outside interference. If you're not getting any of those symtoms you're all good.

@@mulekickhandmadeguitars8465 Ahh ok yes I wasn't sure if there was a more serious issue with leaving the bridge ungrounded. Thanks for clarifying!
