DIY Rotisserie With Build Plans | VW Bus Restoration Episode 30

[@anonanon9385]

This is a brilliant and simple concept. Excellent job.

[@Vangabonders]

It has worked great for me so far!

[@mccluredb]

We see "Jack" back. Makes me think, "The Shining". Definitely use the leg technique over the back.

[@Vangabonders]

I like to equally strengthen both haha

[@levainqueur9095]

Great job! I thought it would be a complete circle. I like the use of less material and space with the same outcome.

[@Vangabonders]

I definitely love how little material it took. It would all fit in the backseat of any car

[@neilkennykenny4113]

The difference that made to the restoration. And you wouldn't have any trouble selling it if your sure your never going to flip another bus.

[@kevronkawasaki5701]

This is awesome I am a welder and I can appreciate this.

[@michaelpotts9902]

Genius! 71bus, Mesquite Texas

[@throttletwitch]

Dammit now I've got no excuse not to build one. You made it look easy!

[@Vangabonders]

I didn't make it look easy, it IS easy! Good luck

[@jeffsegui3280]

Now the fun work begins. Looking forward for the next video. Jeff with the 62 VW bus from Niagara falls Ontario Canada

[@Vangabonders]

I'm surely excited

[@stevenpaul3585]

Brilliant My man My man with the plan

[@adamstagnaro]

This is so cool. Great to see it in action and I can't wait to roll my Bus over (sounds strange when you say it out loud). For anyone awaiting updated drawings/CAD - I'm lagging a bit as things are a bit busier than expected. I'll get it out there as soon as possible!

[@Vangabonders]

Take your time! We appreciate you working on it 😄

[@TREVOR_KNOX]

@adamstagnaro Looking forward to the revised CAD plans. I'm currently restoring my 1972 T2. Thanks again for the videos @vangabonders

@@adamstagnaro hi how did you go with the drawings/ CAD design

Good job, works well in the space you have.

[@alhernandez1312]

Love tour videos lots of good information on them

[@Vangabonders]

More to come!

[@kbangfpv6226]

Mate thank you what awesome little jig I’ll give it a go should help an tone 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻🤟🏻

[@Vangabonders]

It is certainly worth it

[@usantun5454]

Carry on man,Carry on.

[@callalilycollective]

This is sick, great work. Way simpler than I pictured in my head. I might to make my own now.

[@Vangabonders]

That was my hope when I made this video! That people would realize how easy it really is to make a rotisserie. It’s definitely worth it already

[@callalilycollective]

@@Vangabonders someone posted a full 360 rotisserie like this on r/vwbus a few weeks/months ago. While still fairly simple, a full ring just feels daunting. This will be a great reference for the community.

[@TheDaf95xf]

Perfect 🤩 just like Mallory 😍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@alfredritcher]

Very nice it is different from most rotisseries I have seen ,great job

[@jaredmorton8997]

That is awesome!!!! Well done! You're pickin up them skills! I say bring in a Vanagon or an old Square back next time around

[@Vangabonders]

A high top vanagon would be cool. Synchro maybe

[@nmartin5551]

Yet another great video! You are a beast!

[@Vangabonders]

Thank you! I try lol

[@callanderbarbers]

Very cool and clever , wish I had one when I was doing my 68 earlybay

[@Vangabonders]

I love it already! Glad I did it

[@DemopVWgarage]

The kombi bench presser :)

[@Vangabonders]

Haha that’s me

[@AMLagonda]

Thats Awesome Mate, well done.

[@dekenshonestattempt968]

thats a nice rotisserie! good job :)

[@Vangabonders]

Thank you sir!

[@stevegarland7643]

Very informative

[@pstreetgarage7304]

Great build. I need one of those

[@Vangabonders]

Yes you do!

[@levainqueur9095]

I like the subliminal messaging on your drink can!

[@Vangabonders]

Haha gotta do what I gotta do

[@jarmen1105]

Did you all ever get those plans in CAD? Will buy if so.

[@fforestdriver]

fuck yeah dude now youre set!

[@Vangabonders]

Its making my life so much easier!

[@Thomzombie303]

is there something like this for the type 1?

[@Vangabonders]

Yes and they’re way easier to make since they’re so much lighter/smaller

[@Thomzombie303]

@@Vangabonders you have the link to it maybe?

[@Vangabonders]

[@RabbiPanda]

Hey Im trying to build this. Ive look between your screenshots and the pdf you shared but I dont see where it mentions the angles of the cuts. Can you point that out for me or list the angles of the cuts?

[@philcappellini2820]

Have you rotated the rotisserie on all of its sides? It may be more than a one person job to rotate to the last position? Very cool and handy. Thanks for the great video!!

[@Vangabonders]

Indeed the further you go the harder it is to rotate, but nothing that two people can't handle pretty easily!

[@timhouse4703]

I am going to be building your rotisserie soon, and I haven’t been able to get a clear image of the 5 sided plate (that attaches to the rear) is it possible to send me a clear copy of it. Thank you, I enjoy your posts. TH

[@henrikbergman4055]

Awesome video. Went to order the material here, but realised that I wanted to be able to flip it both directions, so I would need to do the bolt on rear plate instead of welding. I'm not an engineer and I wonder if there's any risk of the 2*2" tubes being too weak when drilling. The original has 2*1".

[@Vangabonders]

Indeed in order to flip you would have to bolt. I don't think the 2x2 tubing would be a problem drilled but I am also no materials engineer. You can always go with the original 2x1 as its been shown to work just fine!

[@henrikbergman4055]

@@Vangabonders Thanks. They don't have the 1*2" here, but I can probably find something to insert to reinforce it. My first structural build, so I am probably a bit overly cautious.

[@Vangabonders]

@@henrikbergman4055 it's not very heavy at all once you have everything stripped. I don't think you'll have a problem at all to be honest

[@greggaspo413]

I think I’m going to attempt to make a set of these too, thanks! Dumb question, but do these fit from both sides to rotate the bus in the other direction?

[@Vangabonders]

The front rotates as is, in order for the back to rotate you have to bolt it on rather than weld it like I did.

[@greggaspo413]

6:30 - that kid on Christmas morning excitement lol

[@Vangabonders]

@@greggaspo413 haha exactly how I felt

[@sameersmerchant]

Awesome. I need to make one for by Orange 73 Westy. Would you be open to selling these after you are done?

[@Vangabonders]

I’ve thought about it. I could always make you your own set. I might give these to the local VW shop

[@abefehr6155]

If you open up the hole it becomes loose

[@tonyd6735]

❤

[@Vangabonders]

Right back at ya

[@1967250s]

Nice work, but I surely did cringe when you lifted the back end with your legs and it wobbled!

[@Vangabonders]

I still cringe remembering that moment haha
