Avion Ep2: Interior Demolition | Vintage Trailer Renovation

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Sweet we are back to the trailer

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Yep!

[@oldguyzwoodshop6962]

What a good dad! 👍

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Aw thanks!

[@Tryke_Ryder]

I love that you get your son involved. I can’t wait until my grandson is of age to “help” me with projects. My daughter is more handy than my son-in-law! 🤣

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

It's a _very_ loose use of the term "help" but it's great spending time together and trying to teach them :)

[@cherylefunz7789]

I hope you do not discourage her! I was always taking things apart and putting them back together. I also had to put back together things my older sister took apart. I was discouraged from doing so many things, and looking back, would have made a fine mechanical engineer. My HS geometry teacher told me he wasn't going to bother answering any of my questions since I was never going to use it anyway. Fine things to say to a woman who framed additions!

[@appalachianmountaindesigns7713]

I'm really looking forward to your next videos on this project. I like stuff like this, you can learn a lot ftom someone else's expense and trial and era. Not saying I wouldn't make mistakes either. Thanks for sharing. *Chris*

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks for watching, Chris! It’s a fun project. Really wish I could just dive into it for a few months and knock it out... but that’s not life.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Good work RJ on the door working hard

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Oh yeah, he's a little trooper.

[@andrewtrevillian6470]

Lovely to see your boys and, briefly your dog, helping out on this one.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks! It’s also fun having them around

[@tharemyhopkins5873]

Man, that recip saw work at 2:47 was really neat to watch sped up like that!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Right?! It was actually really satisfying at 99999999% speed haha

[@calleeharris4182]

I really like how the video came out! The time lapse was a nice touch.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thank you!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Digging the music @YouCanMakeThisToo

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks!

[@gabrielagabyrodriguez72]

I love your humor.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks! :)

[@anthonylorbach9365]

What an interesting coincidence. I picked up an issue of Family Handyman (July/August 2020) and they featured and refurbished/updated 72 Avion camper as well. Cool project.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

I saw that too! I've been torn on whether to paint or try to strip the anodized layer and polish it. Seeing how good theirs looked has me leaning towards painting now

[@anthonylorbach9365]

@@YouCanMakeThisToo I understand the appeal of polished aluminum....but theirs looks good too--and probably much easier. Good luck with your project. I will be following it.

[@TheGrantAlexander]

Great to see the kids getting involved. I really need to do some work on my vintage trailer. But i still use it, so it makes it harder to commit to a path of renovating it.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Truth, that's part of the reason I got one that was already partially gutted. No ability to "get around to it."

[@caryt103]

Maybe steel wool and naval jelly on the chrome?

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Good idea, thanks!

[@RandomDoive]

Looking forward to it!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

It'll happen!

[@Kkuts37]

You are very lucky, good help is hard to find! The boys did a great job too!!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks!

[@neishat]

I love when the gangs all there!!! So stinking cute!!!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks, Neisha!! Always love seeing your comments

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

That door is tweeked all to heck

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Yeah it is, I don't know what the heck someone did to tweak it that much

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Been waiting awhile for episode 2

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

yeah I know.. finally here though!

[@kricketkitty]

Hi Caleb, as a woodworker, can you suggest how it would be possible to custom fabricate a replacement screen door for a vintage Avion in wood? How would you curve/arch the door as the original is designed? Ours doesn't fit well, leaves huge gaps all the way around and the poor design of the screen is that it can pop out so easily, accidentally pushing on it going out, for example. Would like to make one that's more functional and durable. Thanks so much.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

You've basically got three approaches for anything like that. A piece of wood big enough you can cut it out. Make a form and steam and bend the wood, or make a form and do a technique call bent laminations. There's lots of videos on both of those techniques.

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

Loving this series bud!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks, Ethan! It’s been a ton of fun. Really look forward to working on it more

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome stuff! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks for always watching and commenting!

[@Mikemalone7873]

Great to see you getting on with the trailer. I hope you saved at least one cabinet piece to be a template for the curve on the inside when you make those new, awesome cabinets. Oh, and a little grease on the door latch mech please. Thanks for sharing, especially the setbacks because it makes your achievements that much better.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

It's great to get progress on it! The interior skins and insulation are out too, wanna get a little farther before doing another episode though. Trying to decided between doing a jack lift, or building a gantry. Good idea on the grease! And yes, I did save some templates :)

[@Mikemalone7873]

YouCanMakeThisToo I knew you would save some templates! Sick m... I mean GREAT minds think alike. Just lookin’ out.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Your kiddo is getting so big Caleb @YouCanMakeThisToo

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Crazy how fast they grow!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

@@YouCanMakeThisToo yeah it is

[@christofix]

Great video and editing, Caleb. I love your work! By the way, great song too.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks, Chris! I'm really happy with how this video came together.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Its hammer time lol good work little man you tell em @YouCanMakeThisToo

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Haha yeah, loved that part

[@garyg5829]

Hi Caleb, love your channel. I have a question on another subject. Building a live edge table 36 x 78 x 1.5 thick. The customer wants solid slab legs one at each end. How wide should the legs be to prevent tipping? Thanks so much for your time .

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

If you're doing slab legs on a slab table, I'd do them full width for aesthetics. I did a table kinda like that some time back kzbin.info/www/bejne/omGuao2vidZ3ebc

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Its getting serious when you bring out the Milwaukee super sawzall boom later wall

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Heck yeah!

[@DorisS75]

Have you seen Andy Rawls renovating his camper trailer?

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

I have! It’s a great series. Also follow drivin and vibin and watched their Argosy rebuild. And Miller’s Garage is newer on the scene with good content.

[@wolf359loki]

Love the father son stuff. Where is the next Video?? Please...

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

I actually recorded the end of it this morning!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Is the handle chromed plastic on the outside looks like alot of pitting in the handle or is it actually metal 🤔 ? @YouCanMakeThisToo

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Pretty sure it's actual metal and not plastic.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

@@YouCanMakeThisToo maybe its a type of cast iron

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

There are ways you can get the pitting out but it would eat the shiny outside what looks like chrome plating of some kind

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Were did you get this music from Caleb ? @YouCanMakeThisToo

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

My editor picked it from epidemicsound.com

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

@@YouCanMakeThisToo thanks Bro you fancy and got an editor

[@7051ff]

drip some coke on the chrome and rub it with aluminum foil. I know it sounds weird but it works great. The acidic coke breaks down the corosion and the foil is tough enough to scratch off the corosion but soft enough not to scratch the chrome.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Ohh, great idea. I'll give that a try. Thanks!

[@alisonkucic633]

Do you know the year, feet, & model?

[@dwwoodbuilds]

Great video! Going to remember those latches are cast zinc! Metal fume fever is serious stuff. Looking forward to what you find out regarding the surface corrosion cleanup! Might want to consider gloves when doing demolition involving metal. Tetanus is serious stuff also. Keep up the great work and looking forward to the next episode in the series!!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Truth! I just ripped out all the interior skins and insulation... better believe I was gloved and masked up for that.

[@Murphy-E]

why is the music so roaring?

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

On my computer and TV its pretty balanced, sorry that it wasn't on your equipment

[@Murphy-E]

@@YouCanMakeThisToo ok 😉
