I’m in awe of the jigsaw accuracy- yes dewalt are top end tools but I’ve given up trying to cut anything with jigsaws. I have however got a tracksaw which is a game changer for accurate strait sheet cuts. One thing you didn’t mention was blade depth being just a tooth more than the board width makes for a better cut. This vid will be useful for all van builds - everyone has to go round a wheel arch! Bet it gets h high proportion of future hits👍🏻 The big thing here is the work you did with the insulation and the battens on which you’re laying the ply. Don’t scrimp on this or 12mm ply will wobble/bow under weight of thing standing on it. A really top class “episode” with this one Greg - mr V - I salute you!

Most blades are up cutting because the pull against the saw base and work like a scissor pulling the base down to the workpiece. Sometimes you need to cut on the face but don’t want loads of chip out. So that’s when a down cutting blade is really handy. Just have to take it easy so it doesn’t jump around.

Easy way to avoid 'tear out' on any cut is to simply set your saw to only cut a few millimetres on the first cut, then set it 'just' over the thickness of the material being cut on the second cut. You will be amazed how well this simple trick works! Keep the vids coming, love em! 👍🏴

Thanks Greg, as you said, sometimes self-builders skip quickly through this bit. I'm looking at finally getting a build sorted once I find the right van, thinking a Boxer. Enjoying this series, and will be referencing it. Cheers

Perfect job again. Excellent advise - like a proper trainer Greg - your advice works for all sort of other projects as well. Nice to see the boss helping you as well 😊

The boss is always there behind the camera. Lou films almost all of these shots. She has steady hands 😊👍🏼😃

Actually that makes sense really when I think about it - the unsung hero of the channel you could say. Her camera work is excellent - my boss is also a Louise.

Hi Greg when do you think you’ll upload the electrical build. Eagerly awaiting this one as I’m sure unsure what to do. Some of the electrical builds are so expensive as they are all based on Victron which are amazing but so expensive. 😁
