Wow. Very eloquent elucidation on trolls' nonunderstanding, and gentle encouragement towards a self examining attitude with an aim towards upright character adjustment. Well done.
I love your attitude! We need more people like you on the internet ❤ Lots of love from a middle aged gal from Finland 🇫🇮 who (after watching your videos) is now contemplating building a camper in my living room 😅
These videos are really good and helpful! My husband and I just weighed our self converted van built with plywood, and it was overweight. So we are going to tear it apart and start over with lighter materials. Meaning we just wasted a year of our lives. After seeing this we will use this technique for some of the futniture! Thank you kind sir.
That test on foam was pretty close to what you get with wood, wood may have an ember(which is worse than the foam), but it takes some very specific conditions to actually sustain a fire.
I love how on 7-21-22 there are 3,690 views on this video and as you discussed the thumbs down comment I realized there are no thumbs down on this video and there are now 212 likes because I like this video. Awesome content. Thank you for the inspiration and laughs.
Man, you have the right attitude and I have been totally inspired by you to experiment with the XPS foam to make cabinetry with the dovetail joint method you've shown. Your van is right hand drive??? My strong support from Australia. One love.
Thanks, I actually re-watched this one recently to see exactly what I covered about about toxic & flammable and was reminded about the “sharing info over the internet” speech. That was totally off the top of my head in the moment and I “liked my attitude” as well, lol.
Thank you for sharing with us. I have FND, Functional Neurological Disorder. Some complex things have become too much for me. I like your take on using g the foam. I ride a recumbent ent trike and have been wanting to build a bike camper for a while. I am now looking at the foam as a great option for this. It is because of your videos that I got this inspiration. Once again, Thank You for your positivity and for sharing with us.
I've been watching a lot of your videos - they're informative and entertaining; plus you've spent a lot of time creating and editing them. I would guess that the majority of people giving thumbs down and/or negative comments are simply critics; they don't do anything themselves but find it easy to dismiss or be negative ... just like movie & book critics that have never directed or written anything themselves. Keep up the great videos and positive attitude! :-)
I thought foam cabinets was a genius idea. I dream of escaping my current life in my future van build, but driving around a van with all the extra gas guzzling weight that the usual cabinetry represents seems ludicrous. Thank you so much for your unique gas saving ideas, plus thumbs up to goats,roosters and cello, Adam from Canada, where we don’t generally use “arse” definitely more UK.
Awesome. Thank you! Side note, lots of materials in "normal" dwellings are not safe to breathe (and are quite flammable) including but not limited to hidden molds! Commen sense, carefulness is a required necessity. 😊 Your experiment showing us the burn factor is much appreciated! Looking forward to watching your wife's teaching videos! Thanks for all that you do. Im in Va. Taking care of elderly mom. ❤ Btw, Goddoesnot make trash! That being said... you and your wife are beautiful, smart and very appreciated!
"If I burn my house down..." 🤣 I enjoy your videos so much! Thank you for sharing. I'm in a 2010 Subaru Outback and want to save as much weight as possible. Considering making an insert like you made your cabinets, and adding the paper technique for cream colored leather look! Your video was among the first I discovered about this technique. Thanks for putting talent, decency, and respect into the world 🌎
Completely agree with your share concerning supporting experimentation. I've watched mega tons of TH-cam videos to learn new things and ideas. Some are just as you say, people bravely sharing outright failures to show what not to do. I appreciate them all, especially the effort that goes into making and sharing their ideas. Are there fraudsters and pranksters on TH-cam - absolutely, but usually they are not that hard to spot. Even then I don't hate on them I just don't do anything to improve their viewership. BTW, you are on to some good and helpful stuff. Keep it up! 👍
Hey Mate,Loved the vid,especially the Awesome Cielo,Love too hear some more of that track especially, is it available anywhere, would sound great in my Bus,Cheer’s from South 🇦🇺🍺☠️👍
Love it brother... thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience! Better than any college education we have to pay a lot of money for and in the end experience is what counts.
I'm very interested in alternative building methods and materials... I've also watched some vids on mixing foam with concrete... and once incapsolated almost impossible to burn ...
Saw a more recent video and was wondering how long you've been living with the foam cabinets, now I know it's been at least 5 yrs. I was thinking of using extruded aluminum to build some shelves for my van, but the lower cost, lower weight, surprising strength, and ease of building with XPS foam you have demonstrated has me considering it as building material now. Thank you. I had previously built a unit with plywood, but the sealant I used on it went bad and it still stinks when it gets hot after two years, so need to replace.
The 5 year old cabinet was a prototype and still holds up, but is not in the van we are full time in now. We have 9 months, 42 state and 30k miles on the Transit full time… and counting. No issues other than the screw anchor failure that I covered… I realized since that that drawer failure was the push to open slide failing and the drawer flew open while we were on a rough road and I think that’s what initially broke that anchor loose.
I enjoy your videos very interesting learn a lot since I've watched these. VIDEO I think I'll use more foam in my next Project. Keep the good work going was good to learn. Something new.
Ok As they said when melting the fume byproduct is CO2 and water vapor. Thise are two of effective fure extinguishers When you angle the flame away its able to feed on oxygen and the water vapor is directed away from flame
Been thinking about how to solve the issue of using fiberglass on foam, it's a bit more expensive than painting but the result would be much stronger. Just saw a video from James Klafehn who made a whole foam trailer which he fiberglassed for strength and protection from the elements. Is the resin he using a different thing that is not eating through the foam? I'm not sure how this chemistry is working out how in some videos the resin is eating through the blue foam and other times it's not. Haven't seen a recent video on your foam cabinets but thought this might spark some more thought or understanding.
@@falkornomad i see a video of other channel, they use something called elephant skin, is the same thing that you use here but they cover all the foam with glass fiber.
I had to laugh at the interchange between you and the Brit who called the cello player an arse. I'm usually the one complaining about music in instructional videos, but not because I have something against the musician(s). It's because some TH-camrs (especially newer ones) feel so compelled to stuff as much in the way of bells and whistles into their videos that they forget they are trying to communicate. Too often the end result will be music levels that are so high it becomes difficult for people with hearing challenges to understand what they are saying. I usually leave a comment just to plant the idea in their head that people watching the video for the first time (unlike the creator, who has watched it perhaps dozens of times while editing) have not memorized what is being said and therefore aren't already bored with the content. So there's no need to zhoozh it up with music. Just relax let the actual content speak for itself. All that being said, I like your style. You've got a new subscriber in me.
I love No no no no I super loving your video story telling on the fire Hazzard!!! LOL Means laughing out loud.. hahahahaha means laughing a long time.... And what is it with people to judge video content...Oohh euhhm Im doing it now too... Anyway. Please keep your spirits up and just continu your video content Cheers from Amsterdam in the Netherlands hahahahahahaha

Thank you for spending your money and time to experiment and post your findings for people like me to learn from.
Greatest takeaway!

👍🏽 to be fair… I put my prototype build video out 5 years ago… so I did my part to get the info to you asap, lol 😃
That test on foam was pretty close to what you get with wood, wood may have an ember(which is worse than the foam), but it takes some very specific conditions to actually sustain a fire.
You're so chill how you handled the haters lol Gave me a chuckle, and you were right on about it. Great job, appreciate you muchly!
Nothing like the sound of cello in the morning.😊

They don't show the thumbs down anymore. They just use it to develop algorithms.
That comment was from 11 months ago when they did… that said… in my analytics it still says this video has 100% likes 🤷🏽♂️
Man, you have the right attitude and I have been totally inspired by you to experiment with the XPS foam to make cabinetry with the dovetail joint method you've shown.
Your van is right hand drive???
My strong support from Australia. One love.
Great vid, thanks. Ending, "hey goats!" Hilarious response. Love your work and attitude. Watching your travels in the new van, homestead free n easy.

Building a foam box camper shell for my Veggie fuel F250. Huge help on your channel and appreciate all the amazing info.
👍🏽
People that go to the effort to thumbs down a video are a mystery to me. Thanks for the research. I've got some ideas and you saved me a ton of work.
🤷🏽♂️ thanks, glad to help!
I thumbs downed your comment. I agree with you but it had to be done. 😄
@@hangalen I should have seen that coming.
Lol
More like this in all YT comment sections please!!!!

I just asked about this on your 5th or 6th video. Cheers for sorting that for me👍
Thank you for spending your time and resources. I thought it was a cool concept and you did a great job. Good music, nice goats.

The failures are more important to share than the successes, imo.

Thank you very much
Love the idea of using foam to save weight. (Englishman living in Vietnam! 🇬🇧 🇻🇳 )
Keep up the good work always glad to hear a bout new ideas
Thank you for your videos... Good Job bro... thums up from Turkiye 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

It is entirely dependant on the type of foam, and epixy you use.
Use a water based epoxy.
Well done dude❤❤
👍🏽
Thanks for experimenting!!
what happends if you use a thinner thickness foam with a skeleton of aluminium? love your video.
Lots of newer videos on the channel, fyi… I have not used any thinner or thicker foam however.
@@falkornomad i see a video of other channel, they use something called elephant skin, is the same thing that you use here but they cover all the foam with glass fiber.
Yep… I don’t like fiberglass but other like it.
This is so helpful dont care what anybody says 🏴🏴🏴
V cool. Australians don’t use the word arse without the word hole attached unless they have been watching too much UK programming. 🇦🇺
Keep on keeping on bro.
👍🏽
Thank you - what are your thoughts on PUR vs EPS foams? PUR appears to be the less toxic and has a much higher melt and flashpoint.
I do not use PUR or EPS… so no opinion… everything you see me use is XPS👍🏽
Yes in Quebec to they have 2nd generation of westfalia wolkswagen

Thank You.

great ha ha’s as you put it. i have several videos of yours to get caught up on , thank u 👍
Id like to see a flash point test
People suck, I love your humour and spirit. Keep going im building with you. Although not as well.
There's always room for cello! 😁
Can't find symbol on your name to type into search bar
Bro played the cello background music while answering that guy who complained about "the violin" 😂😂😂
👍🏽🎶
Great series..
Hope you saw the recent ones too! 👍🏽
Thank you for this!!!

Thanks for the video
My pleasure!!
Great video

I love the music lol

cool beans!

why did you stop posting videos? Havent seen anything in almost a year
3:46 .. It's WAY less flammable than paper for example!

The goats 😂🤣
I do miss them… sometimes
you look like Ari Shaffier
That’s the second time!!! I can see it… it’s the nose right? But he has 2 eyebrows, unlike me 😜
🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦 Such is life
uh, plywood is flammable and toxic.
For fux sake
I can't believe why people respond so primitive!? Wtf...
It’s the internet… the future where everyone can regress 5,000 years👍🏽
