7. Custom furniture build VW T6.1

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

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

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

"you'll often find me in my van, doing this..." - so relatable hahaha!

[@robertlawrence7958]

I have nothing but admiration for your workmanship. Your video delivery is also most entertaining. A great watch.

[@KBeadle]

thanks

[@bobscullion3533]

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

[@CampervanMan]

I'm actually quite addicted to pulling that expression

[@daviddootson9016]

I must say i am well inpressed with your skill level mate

[@russcurrie72]

I'm just sat on a campsite in my T4 in Derbyshire watching this video and in stitches 🤣🤣🤣 keep them coming Karl 👊👊👊

[@paulcottam128]

Cracking Video love the wit and humour you put in the videos along with the skill too , great home made van furniture too

[@mariusztomczak6435]

Nice work!

[@chopperhehehe]

What a cracking job Your right you made it look easy lol 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦄🦕😁✌️🤞

[@Radio4ManLeics]

Quality job, and very satisfying to watch. I could watch you working for hours!

[@glenwilkie1331]

Wonderful to watch an experienced professional at work.

[@tonymanders5078]

How can one person be so talented fantastic job 👍👍

[@AwwwPishhh]

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.

[@KBeadle]

thanks

[@letsgocamping88]

Nice job! Think we all have those gazing in to space moments.

[@robbiemulholland8412]

Excellent really enjoyable to watch.....👍

[@dan64740]

Loving the glue applicator stick lol

[@doraexplora9046]

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.

[@stevebrown6665]

Love the corner trim on the drawer

[@martinclay7557]

Bloody marvelous

[@vwtransportersandmotorcycl3729]

I have to say Karl your work is incredible!

[@KBeadle]

Thanks

[@classic1989mini]

Great work, your attention to detail is a work of art

[@kristenconnery3221]

Another great video! 👍

[@chrishorsfall6525]

Amazing techniques here, wow, I've tried sitting there in the van for hours trying to think through figure out every eventuality - pencil and paper helps sketching helps to visualize how it's going to work

[@glyn829]

Brilliant job 👍

[@dayneditiont5.163]

Yip I've used the Glaikit look a few times now while building our camper. 😳 Awsome video as always sir 👌

[@KBeadle]

Glaikit , never heard that word until today, now I’ve heard it twice!

[@davidglassford2194]

Your right you make it all look so easy 😁👍🏻. Build looks fab & I like shelf above sink & at back door. Hopefully find someone to help sort similar in mine when virus allows.

[@davidpackard8330]

Very neat and professional!

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

Excellent, your van is looking great 👍. Hope mine turns out to be as good.

[@isagomes5591]

Hello Karl. congratulations for your achievements, it's really great. I'm French and I have a T6. Could you tell me where to find drums for rolling shutters? In France they sell shutters without drums, only with the rails. thank you in advance and congratulations again for your work. Vincent

[@g3rrypaton]

Looking the mutts nuts karl

[@pogg01]

You make it look simple for me the hardest part is getting all the bits a bobs like edging and trim

[@KBeadle]

Tell me about it. It’s not just where you get stuff, it’s all the different prices people charge for the same stuff

[@campervanman28]

Great job mate 👏

[@glenwilkie1331]

Looks like the hinged doors close flush over the face of the cupboards and some special hinges used?

G'day Karl and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺, I just happened to stumble across your channel and I got say what a beautiful job your doing lining out that van, If I had one it's exact how I would do it like you are I've seen plenty of van fit-outs but not the way your doing it which is terrific, I have subscribed and look forward to watching the next instalment kind regards John.

[@KBeadle]

Hi John welcome to the nonsense

[@StevieTyrrell]

You interior looks 10 times better than some of the so called bespoke built campers at £50k! Well done. When and where will you advertise this one?

[@KBeadle]

I shall be keeping this until the end of the year

[@StevieTyrrell]

@@KBeadle Doh!

[@simonmiddleton4977]

If one of the tv channels ever decide to make a series about van conversions you have my vote as the Ed China of the conversion world! Fab job as always and yes you do make it all look easy! Love the wood you have used is it light weight furniture ply and was it expensive?

[@The_Joker_]

Over engineered wins every time. Avoid crashing into petrol stations.

[@iddroneography655]

Hi Karl watched your videos and very informative do you sell the plans at all for your build as I seen loads but your layout it’s top class I know you said it’s on your hard drive lol this is the best build I’ve seen keep up the great videos also

[@1968kcc]

So skillfully done perfect finished. 👍👍Look forward to the next video. Seen Wellhouse fits rock and roll bed on rails. Is it more difficult to fit?? Oh still hoping to say hello to Hollie on screen!!!!

[@KBeadle]

They are but only because you have to get access underneath the van for the full length of the rail

[@crawfordshepherd4311]

Where do you get the cornor joints the build looks great

[@dingo3718]

What is the name of the grey trim around the edges, and where can it be got from cheap of course,thanks and a nice job indeed karl

Morning mate. Im starting a camper conversation soon. Transit custom. I’ve watched all you stuff your doing very entertaining 😂. Can you tell me where you get the water tank that sits over the wheel arch?

[@KBeadle]

[@woodyforest7308]

Can you point me to the aluminium corner prifiles you used thanks..

[@samanthairwin9221]

Karl your furniture building is fantastic, have you considered going into business, making bespoke custom made furniture for vans?

[@KBeadle]

Nah its not what floats me boat

[@Thecampervanman2019]

Love it. What lightweight plywood did you use and where did you get it from???? Again brilliant work subscribed straight away

[@KBeadle]

yes, it isn't top end but it is definitely good enough for camping in the UK season

[@ianfranks4257]

Hi Karl, loving the videos and your sense of humour. Really like the pull out drawer in the bottom of the wardrobe, good use of space, can I ask where you sourced the drawer runners please? Cheers, Ian

great video on furniture karl. Where can i buy rounded edging strips and brackets to make the high up shelf? cheers bud

[@willemdodgerford5782]

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

[@Edge_Effect]

Love the passion you put into your uploads, makes me laugh everytime. Btw how many boards did it take to build your furniture? Cheers

[@paulgriffin4820]

Have you done that before 🤔🤣🤣👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍

How can you only have 15k subs? If this was a woodworking channel, you'd have over a mil I'm sure! 🤣

Hi Karl. Thanks for all your videos, in the process for converting a VW Maxi Caddy, so scaling cabinets down!! I bought your PDF file. Great reference links. Could I ask the size and weight load of your pull out drawer runs and where did you get them. Many Thanks Dave.
