These brackets you reference come in 25mm, 30mm, 40mm. Was it just trial and error to determine if these work with the 30MM extrusions? For 30 MM you would need 15MM between center point of the screw hole and the outside edge of the bracket. Also, did you use standard 8020 screws and t-nuts (or roll-in t-nuts) to attach brackets to extrusions? The hole size of these brackets is 5mm or 0.2 inches, whereas standard series 30 inside corner brackets 6.8mm in diameter. Thanks!!
Done put loctite otherwise you’ll spin out the threaded plugs. The screws won’t back out but if they do, use a piece of dental floss , stick it in the plug, the thread your screw in. It should create enough resistance but not enough to back out the plugs. I’m afraid the wood glue won’t be strong enough against loctite.
Thats funny, with the frame of my cabinets finished, I was thinking about the same issue currently and the holy youtube algorithm recommended me this video out of nowhere. I was planning on using these rampa nuts (rampa is one manufacturer for these nuts, in Germany the are usually called rampa nuts), but then thought about glueing extruded aluminium angles directly to the wood panel. I test glued a piece to a oiled panel yesterday using a SMP glue and it really sticks nicely. It also might be easier to attach.
Hi Scott, I am a bit fan of your work! I am in the middle of my van build using 10 series T-Slot Aluminum. I want to clad the frame with 3/4" bamboo plywood, I would use 1/2" on the ends of the cabinet, but it is only available in 1/4" or 3/4". Now to my question. How are the threaded inserts holding up after three years of use?
Brilliant! I've been kicking around how to do just this with my build down the road when I get to that point, and this is a great solution. A question: Why use Baltic birch plywood if you're just covering it up on both sides with laminate anyway?
Hi Scott. Cotek 3000W inverter has three versions: 12, 24 or a 48 volt version. The link you posted above goes to the 24 volt version. Is that what you got?
I'm using 2020, 20mm extrusion for my closet/wardrobe and its pretty strong... Only using 3060 (30mm by 60mm) for my bed, anything ticker is overkill i think... and pricey
Thanks for your effort to present us such great videos. Quick questions. Could you estimate how much extruded aluminum did you use in your framing and what type was? Thanks
Thanks Scott for this. I was wondering are you using the same principle for the bottom of the upper cabinates? Because the whole weiht of whatever that is inside of the cabinet would be on it... Are you using two boards then?
Audio sounds good. Does the outside of the panel sit flush with the outside of the 8020 (or even slightly inside the 8020)? If so then I assume you not have to cover the edges of the panel. Could you confirm please? A photo or two would probably explain even better.
Hi Scott, do you think it is possible to attach just laminate? 80/20 structure is strong enough and to reduce the weight I would just cover it with laminate. Of cause the fasteners will go through and will be visible but added weight would be minimal.
Assuming the 8020 is approx 30mm wide: if your L brackets are facing outside, then your panels will stick out. if they are facing inside, the panels will be sunken too much. too bad that you spent so much time talking and so little time to actually show the process, how you put the brackets, where exactly, and how you attach the panels.
You do lots of talking bud, without clear physical work, which i can't follow along. Do more work and show us step by step. In front the camera doesn't help
Great tip on using corner braces for mounting panels. Corner braces are about 0.55c each vs $11 from 8020/tnutz for panel mount blocks.
Sound is fabulous.
I love your videos. They are so different to every other van build and your skill set and explanation is outstanding.
Thank you.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that!

It appears he used roll in - very expensive
Super clean install 👊

Good advice!
Van’s coming together nicely! Keep the momentum going! 🙌🏽
Thanks! I finally see the light haha
Nice job and explanation. I like that simple pex gauge trick!
Yeah it really comes in handy
Thanks great idea for inserts, i thought id just have bolts visible but this is a much neater idea
Glad this helped!
wow, very quickly answered a little nagging question I was having! thanks dude!

Thank you for the video, but this is still unclear to me. I never see how the fasteners go in. I never see how things are attached to the 80/20.
Real
Thank you for this. Gave me perfect info
what did you use to attach the steel L-brackets to the 8020 alum frame?
Question please👋. How are you attaching the bracket to the 80/20? Are you using their nut and bolt?
I hear you well. Thanks much for the info.
Brilliant! I've been kicking around how to do just this with my build down the road when I get to that point, and this is a great solution.
A question: Why use Baltic birch plywood if you're just covering it up on both sides with laminate anyway?
Do you think this is a strong enough solution for the bottom piece of the overhead cabinets? Is that what you used?
That pex drill stop tip is worth at least 10x's what I paid for this video!

Is that 10 series 80 20 for the cabinets? I'm wondering if the 3/4 inch 20 series would be strong enough for either upper or kitchen cabinets

@@tehdreamer that's what I was thinking. Thanks for the reply!

What's the advantage of using a 10mm thread and bolt vs a 10mm wood screw into the panel?
Yes, exactly this question. Wood screw into the panel seems much simpler.
Yay! I was going to suggest loctite.
Pat myself on the back a little there
Yeah and some other poeple had great points on using light hold
Would have liked to see the end result…
Have you used any contact cement glue with your panels and 8020 - I'm wondering what glue works on 8020 that has been powder coated ... or anodized.
Voice sounds perfect
Thank you! This video will be booked marked to help when I get to that point. Is that 10 or 15 series 80/20 ?
Hey Jeff...he uses 30 and 40 series metric for mist of his build.
Not sure when he would get back to you.
Thanks for helping out in the comments and hes right! Mainly 30 series just used the 40 on the upper cabinet and bed framing.
@@scottadamson6116 can't wait to see the finish. I am using all of your build as a basis for my redo on my interior...awesome stuff.
Thanks Scott for this. I was wondering are you using the same principle for the bottom of the upper cabinates? Because the whole weiht of whatever that is inside of the cabinet would be on it... Are you using two boards then?
Mic is awesome
Sweet, thanks!

or a video that actually shows what we're talking about?
Mike sounds good!
Awesome, good to know! Thanks!

the laminate is very brittle until it is fastened to a substrate like wood
sorry, what was the name of that specıal nut, if it possible please send me that's link in amazon
For loctite use the purple (light hold)
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks!
No problem!
hi Scott,
can you please give a link to m4 Fasteners?
mcmatsercarr is a great place if you are in the US
Anyone have a creative way to fasten thinner plywood similarly? 1/4" and 3/8" specifically
Cotex?!
Starts at 2:58
Good audio
Thank you Bruce!

Talks alot but never shows anything...dont waste your time
Not gonna lie mate.. a lot of fluff in your video.. why does anyone need to see you making yourself a coffee.. people have limited time.
Ridiculous video, not much instruction and dude do you really think we clicked on this video to watch you make coffee
Good job of not showing
