Thank You, that means a lot to me as I am still learning and finding my style for videos. I think this is my best video and aim to make more like this going forward. Thanks so much for watching. Have a great day. :)
Thanks Steve. Yes, I find it much more enjoyable to work on my projects in the woods rather than in some driveway. A few things have been more practical to take care of that way, but this is more fun. Have fun building! :)
@@DIYosefine Good luck with your channel I like the Old School American Box Vans vs the Sprinters all the Hipsters are driving lol I have a van channel too. My advice. Always respond to comments. I'm subsribing because you responded
Thank you, and good luck to you as well! I like a van with character, whichever van it is. It’s just more fun if it’s a representation of its owner(s) rather than looking like everyone else’s. But that’s just the artist in me talking, each to their own, a keeping up with the Jones’s thing exists in vanlife as it does everywhere else. I see the sprinter vans as the corporate side of vanlife. But who knows, maybe I’ll own a flashy new van one day, I’m not ruling it out (although it would probably look a bit different, that’s just my artistic nature). 4 wheel drive would be nice, that’s the one upgrade I would really want to shoot for some day.
@@DIYosefine That's funny considering the demographic that makes youtube videos on Sprinter life tend to be the anti corporate type. You inspired one of my videos
Lol, it’s all perception I guess. We’re all just more or less glorified homeless people (or houseless at least), unless one actually has a house or apartment in addition to the van, and then it’s arguably not ‘vanlife’, but more of a vancation perhaps. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with a vancation, year around in a van ain’t for everyone. Happy to have inspired a video for you! :)
Sorry for late reply. Hope it goes well. It was definitely one of the trickier projects in the van, but it has been a very functional little extra storage space. :)
Lovely great job my dear loved the DIY your Di light me. I am also DIY I can make my own but you're giving me ideas. Also, love the channel. Keep on rocking in the free world, my dear.
Thank you so much for your comment. ☺️ It is har do go wrong with such a classic combination (in my opinion). It’s a joy to build with wood, and freshly cut wood always makes the van smell nice. :)
Thank you so much Corinna! 🥰 The shoe compartment is working really well. An added bonus I didn’t think about is that I don’t need to get back in the van if I want to switch shoes, since they are right there. :) Big hugs.
Thank you so much for watching. This is my favorite video so far. There will definitely be more that follow the entire build process now that I'm getting into the swing of making videos at the same time as building. :)
You're a natural!!! You are so talented , and meticulous in your woodcraft ideas for this van door storage DIY. Especially well equipped to personalize everything in your tiny home on wheels. Have a good one for your future travel and your little one :)
Thank you so much for your comment Mayssa, it really warmed my heart. I am thrilled that you like it. I have now lived with it for a few months and it is really functional. Big hugs to you! :)
Hej Hej! So happy You found your way here from the Vanife Sverige podcast. How great are they!? So cool! Thanks for checking out my videos, it is so appreciated. Big hugs from me and Tora! 🙂
I'm jealous you have such flat door panels...my chevy express has so many crazy curves so building storage boxes to conform to it has been a real pain haha. But this video totally helped me, great tip about the sanding between polyurethane coats, totally had no idea about that. I'm hoping to finally finish my doors today! I just hope they look half as good as yours!
Hey Lindsay. Yes, every van sure is different, there are pros and cons here and there. Hope you find some nifty solutions for yours! Thank you so much for watching, I’m very happy I could help in any small way. :)
Thank you. The format I chose mostly developed due to me being uncomfortable talking to the camera, I feel too awkward. I am also a radio DJ, so receding my voice felt more natural. I think that’s the best part about TH-cam, everyone’s different styles. Creativity truly reigns supreme on here. Big hugs, and best of growth for your channel!! :)
After watching your video, I am encouraged to fix my door panels. My sliding glass door one is an eye sore but then so are the others. I have a 1998 chevy astro in build process.
Awesome. Astros are fun. Is it 4wheel drive? I really wish mine was. The door panels are kind of a fun project, since it’s a small area to work on. I’ve planned out my next one and got the supplies, but have had way to much ‘regular work’ going this summer I haven’t had time to put a saw to it yet. Sooon! Good luck with your fixes! :)
Lol, not quite sure what you are talking about, must be a camera angle that makes you see things. But you will be happy to know I have new tires in the very last shot of this video. However, not because they were ‘separated’, but because my vehicle was getting too heavy for the grade of tires I was riding on. Bless your heart. :)
Ive watched ALOT of build videos but this one is wonderful. Using simple tools and a creative use of empty space! Well done!!
Thank you so much! :) Big hugs!
I don’t usually watch demonstration video from start to finish, but this video really got and kept my attention. Love the use of space
Thank You, that means a lot to me as I am still learning and finding my style for videos. I think this is my best video and aim to make more like this going forward. Thanks so much for watching. Have a great day. :)
What a beautiful spot to work on a project. Shoe rack turned out great. Thanks for sharing the ideas.
Thanks Steve. Yes, I find it much more enjoyable to work on my projects in the woods rather than in some driveway. A few things have been more practical to take care of that way, but this is more fun. Have fun building! :)
TH-cam actually recommended your channel. Nice to see a smaller channel getting recommended by YT
Thank You so much for letting me know it did that John. That’s really encouraging. :) have a great day!

That looks beautiful! And, it is very functional as well. Nicely done. Safe travels.
Thank you very much. It was a fun little project and I love working with wood. Safe travels to you too!
Nice job. Something functional yet very pretty too.
Thank you! Still my favorite part of the build. :)
Well done, if it makes you happy doesn’t matter what others think, you go girl.
Truer words have never been spoken! thanks for watching. :)
Kudos to you for your recycling wood as well as other items and your fantastic imagination and work ethic!
Thank you so very much James, means a lot. Hope you're having a great day. :)
Wow great idea building a little box to go inside the door! I'm going to attempt this. Thank you, great video!
Sorry for late reply. Hope it goes well. It was definitely one of the trickier projects in the van, but it has been a very functional little extra storage space. :)
Lovely great job my dear loved the DIY your Di light me. I am also DIY I can make my own but you're giving me ideas. Also, love the channel. Keep on rocking in the free world, my dear.
I like the wood and leather. Your van has a lot of character!

Excellent tutorial. Like all it all comes out looking very good!
Thank you ever so much! I’m glad you like the look of it. It’s still my favorite part of the van build. :)
so cool! love to see how it all comes together. very inspiring
:) Very happy you like it. Thanks so much for watching!
Great work
Thank you Patz! :)
You are awesomely cool! I so love your shoe compartment! Looks wonderful!
Thank you so much Corinna! 🥰 The shoe compartment is working really well. An added bonus I didn’t think about is that I don’t need to get back in the van if I want to switch shoes, since they are right there. :) Big hugs.
I loved this whole process. How it really goes. When it goes well that is.
Thank you so much for watching. This is my favorite video so far. There will definitely be more that follow the entire build process now that I'm getting into the swing of making videos at the same time as building. :)
I really like the leather!!
Thank you! I do too, and I think they will get a nice patina over time. :)
Very cool and helpful. I have the same van just starting to build out interior. Doors would be awesome
Always good to find extra nooks for storage!
Very good looking door!
Thank you kindly, happy you like it. :)

@@DIYosefine I completely get it - I have a channel as well and it is a lot of work. You have a really nice storytelling style though. Good job! 🤩🤩🤩

good job
Thank you kindly. :)
@@DIYosefine really nice use of the "dead space" and the work you did was handy too...
Van living is all about using every nook and cranny :)
@@DIYosefine I look at it as with living in a ship at sea or a submarine...one must relentlessly maximize the efficiency of the available spaces.
@@frank5326 indeed!
Joli travail
Merci! :D
....um, comedic genius, or DIY guru...? Maybe a bit of both?
Awwwww, you’re too kind! Haha. Very happy you enjoy my work though🥰. Big hugs.
Practical is good …
I would say so, in a small space is really the only option. :)
Your goddammit tires are separated on the side wall, maybe worry about that first.
Lol, not quite sure what you are talking about, must be a camera angle that makes you see things. But you will be happy to know I have new tires in the very last shot of this video. However, not because they were ‘separated’, but because my vehicle was getting too heavy for the grade of tires I was riding on. Bless your heart. :)
Also, thanks for watching. :)
It takes 10 times as long to sit and manually screw in screws then to change a bit. Lmao
Correct, but I have more control manually, it gives me a workout and during the pandemic all I had was time. :)
Also, you should try changing bits on my chuck operated relic of a drill, it comes with many swear words. 😂
Awe hell naw' 😆
😝😁
