  • VW T6.1 DIY campervan conversion. Follow along with this van build series as I convert a commercial van in to a cool camper van FOOKIN PUTIN
    alright campervanners. Anyone else reading the news and feeling powerless to help. Well here’s a couple of charities that are worthwhile donating to. Either click the link or just Google the charity name and donate summat, even if it’s only a couple of quid it’s gotta be better than nowt right?
    bit.ly/decorguk
    dec.org.uk Donate to this charity and the UK government will match your donation. So you can get the government to send some of that fuel tax that you're currently having to pay to the Ukraine, hows that for Karma! DEC is made up from 15 humanitarian charities including the Red cross and save the children
    bit.ly/unicefukrainecharity
    UNICEF are a childrens charity that are on the ground helping the children and parents of Ukraine with clean water, food and life saving supplies
    Disclaimer
    I've created bitly links as the web address was too long, obviously there is nothing in it for me other than not feeling totally helpless. Time to make some furniture with light weight ply wood
    Heres the tambour doors I used bit.ly/tambourdoor

    your "doing this" face is what we here in Scotland call "the glaikit look" or as my wee granny would say "it looks like the lights on but nobody's in" I think all self builders have that look more often than they'd like to admit. Well done big guy

    That shelf is a flipping great addition for what would just be dead space. Have to agree with you that the large profile aluminium edging looks awesome and was great on the shelf over the cooker.

    I love your fitout. You are using off the shelf fittings that are, lucky for you, only available in the UK. You are a great presenter, which really helps. American channels are way to over the top. Everybody other than the Americans are a lot more laid back in their presentations. I subbed and will now binge watch the rest of your vids.

    Hi Karl, hope youre still out there since you havent posted anything for a while. I have followed your entire series, and i think your videos will help me a lot with my own build. Thanks for that. One question though. I noticed your cabinet doors land almost inside of each other, rather than overlapping. How didbyou manage to do that? Are you using a different kind of t molding? Hope youll find the time to help me out here. Thx
