😄 Thank you Andy, it was a nice surprise to see your comments yesterday. I was in the workshop making a door blank and fitting three locks on it ( night latch, 5 lever and 5 lever dead lock). Yes being able to kip in the van while working away is very cool, went as far south as Kent and as far west as the Island of Ilay of the west coast. Keep uploading the videos, I’ve had a couple of evenings just watching them one after another 👍🔨😄

Brilliant! That would have been perfect for me back in the day when I was an itenerant yacht refinisher. Working on those classic wooden sailboats deepened my appreciation for fine joinery, and how rare it is to find beautiful work in today's hectic world. Good to see you passing your skills on to your grandson!

Nice job, considering doing something to be able to use the work can in a similar way. Quick question, did you put in any sound deadening or the reflective insulation? Ours needs to be completely empty for our use but wonder should I take off the wood panel and add some sound deadening and a very basic insulation layer. Not the full on camper convert job but just something to keep it a bit warmer and maybe reduce some condensation. Thanks for the ideas

Hi Mate, A couple of 6 x 2 blocks, only to tweak it a bit, but rather keep a look out for parking up in a relatively levelish place. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

Hi Rob I used 3" foam glued to pre drill holed plywood. Made three sections, two big which go on the van side walls and one smaller section used for the seat. I think that's what you're asking. Thanks 👍
