Building a HIDDEN Chair, Desk, Entertainment System into this TINY Cabinet in my RV | RV Renovation Ep. 5
In my last video, I had several things that I needed to finish in order to get my hidden wall bed (Murphy bed) working exactly as its supposed to, so in the beginning of this video, I address those issues before working on the door side wall of the RV. I first start with building a cabinet that will act as a wheel well cover and a storage box for the outdoor storage door of the RV. Then I move onto building the Media cabinet that houses the hidden chair, desk, and TV inside of it. Just like in my last video, I still have a few finishing touches to work on with this project and I will be working on those in my next episode. Hopefully you enjoy this one. Thanks!

You are like a mad scientist when it comes to design! The innovation and creativity behind your designs are AMAZING and the fact that you accomplished that in such a tiny footprint is soo impressive. You managed to store a television, a multi use desk, drawers, and a chair that takes up less space than my bookshelf. You never cease to amaze me. I cannot wait to see what you’ll come up with next. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. Your videos are so relaxing, it’s like carpentry ASMR. Well done!

[@IsmokeHiphopLive]

you the truth young man. if you build it will come.

[@wpeters4361]

Your ideas about the use of such a small space are the most inventive I've seen in the "van life" genre. Always exciting to see what you've thought out/see it come to life.

[@rv9990]

Hi Dualex, came by your channel last week. I binge watchted 3 builds already and am totally loving it! Keep it up. The craftsmanship is unbelievable.

[@SkinnerNoah]

I'm not much of a handyman unfortunately, but as an artist I really like and respect your hard work and creativity. Interior design/remodeling is very much a genre of art, and the math, engineering, electronics, etc that you have to do makes it even more impressive

[@kyliepierson8718]

There you go another amazing one of a kind build, truly a master builder of campers and unique living spaces. I'm hoping once I get my CDL and buy a truck I can hire you to hook the truck up in the way you do adding it to the resume for of your unique builds. Another 🥇

[@ginagill8816]

DualEx you knocked this cabinet out the park. I’ve never seen nothing like this before and it’s definitely a masterpiece. You understand the assignment. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m looking forward to the finished version .

[@lucindasweatt1833]

I know I will probably never make any of the things you create, I just live watching how you come up with these ideas and then create it.😍😍

[@fazooleq1523]

I love the design of the chair and how it hides in the framework of the cabinet - that is so brilliant!

[@Martie09]

I am not going to lie ever since I saw your first van build I look forward to these videos. For real man you always take an idea and make it better or your own!! If you haven’t thought about it you should have a page just of digital designs you have done. It would be like walking through a Carpenter art gallery!!

[@Blackbutterfly9799]

Could spend hours watching you build. You are a school, a University in craftsmanship of interior custom design and cabinetry work. What an awesome idea for the trifold desk. Pure Ingenuity at best. Yes, you could have a TV Show on HGTV, in my opinion. Building out RV, Campers (Vans) and Tiny Homes. Really fantastic work, every step of the way. All the time. Thank you for sharing your master skills and builds. So much can be learned; very inspiring. *Vandie Van 🚐 Wings 🦋*

[@LoneCanadianPoet]

Great build!!! That chair that you built into the cabinet was brilliant!!! Cool video, I can not wait to see more of your carpentry and RV work👍

The first one of his I watched was a VERY NICE but pretty normal build. Now he’s breaking ground on unique things I don’t really see on other channels. (And I watch a lot of these).

[@ingermimi]

I’m so fascinated by your videos. You are a very gifted man with an exquisit taste. Best greetings from a 76 years old grandma.

[@ChrisW228]

You’re a prime example of someone identifying a gift and nurturing it into a skill. I love watching your solutions. On the TV, just curious why you made basically a drawer slide instead of installing one made of metal? At first I wondered if it was just for purity of craftsmanship, but you used metal for the other two.

[@mariamaldonado3275]

Am so blowback with what you have done. You are so smart and your ideas are great. I hope you don't mind me telling you this. God has blessed you with that knowledge that you have! I just started to see your channel,and am glad I found it. God bless you and your family.

[@noah786]

It looks like the Murphy bed could be raised up which would allow you to utilize the couch as an extra sleep space. The desk, slide out table and hideaway chair turned out incredible. Such an amazing design.

[@MsTellitlikeitis48WithTheTea]

When I watch your videos, it also brings me to the videos that were made by the two couple who built a house from containers off the grid aka "uncontained". It baffles me with such skills why you guys are not purchasing abandoned houses and flipping them, or building tiny houses etc. I'm from Brooklyn NYC and I would really love to purchase a big old van and pay somebody to flip it into a house. Your skills are impeccable thanks for sharing

[@dkcoats]

[@paige6028]

Every time I think you've outdone yourself there you go again! WOW! You are literally a "master craftsman". I was going to use the term carpenter but it didn't go in depth enough to describe that which sets you apart from others...your passion, your love, your vision, your artistry of what you do. What is the difference between a Carpenter & a Craftsman? A carpenter builds things. A craftsman will put their love into it, they create a work of art, they put their heart, soul, spirit & passion into whatever it is they’re building. When you are a craftsman you are building greatness and building YOUR craft. GREAT JOB! BEAUTIFUL! Respect.

[@bergfpv6486]

I almost don't even care about the end result. Just fascinated with your inventiveness. I always have these ideas dancing around in my head but I'm too lazy to make them real. Or, I get stuck on small details and end up giving up or indefinitely postponing. Story of my life.

[@VonBluesman]

On your 3 piece foldout table with the exposed hinges, try using a piano hinge and route out for it if necessary, that way there will be no top surface exposed hinge. That left facing cabinet door needs a slight adjustment or the width of a saw blade taken off the way it looks on camera, it could be the camera angle. You have some great skills, your Dad or somebody that helped raised you has got to be a Pro. Not only do your skills show your talent but your are very wise in your safety using the power tools. I hope you make a great living building out the vans, trailers, and as a custom furniture maker. You have made some really impressive builds. I used to be a master carpenter and we built custom homes for a living. Thank you.

[@firpofutbol]

You have the most genius ideas. Functional and compact. I saw you drilling dowel holes without a jig? Boss mode.

[@Dualex_Builds]

Thank you! I have a jig but it takes a long time to do so I have just been lining up the holes with my speed square lately

[@davidw_52]

The folding desktop is a great idea, I would try to have that one hinge that is in the center of the desktop moved to the first hinge location. Saying that I would never be able to do this myself. lol

You're a very talented young man; I like how you do things; you're humble, admitting what you don't know and what you are trying even as you sometimes question the outcome. You also accept when things don't come together as intended; I like that. I know you're making this a money-making venture; I appreciate that. How about a detailed van wiring from start to finish, every detail. I'd love it if someone told me verbatim, this is what you need, this is now might you make it, where you place each piece, how you hook it up, and on and on. I'd pay for it step by step, and I imagine others would.
