How To Finish The Interior Of Your Flare

#vanconversion #vanlife #sprinter #vanbuild #flare #flarespace
Hey everyone,
In this video we walk you through how we finished our flares from Flarespace.
We broke it down into three parts. A backer, a trim ring, and some finish trim.
The final product didn't turn out too bad.
If you're interested in finding a flare for your van like ours, you can get get yourself a set at flarespace.com/ #sponsored

[@lisamillard1272]

guys are amazing carpentry duos.. Cowboys 🤠 ride on..

[@555exh]

LOL when pulling the ticks off.

[@trudiswanson9855]

Honest to goodness! You guys are totally "up to it!" Up to every design, mathematical and materials challenge needed for every job at hand! Honestly, I'm always mind blown by your talents in fitting out this van, (and your previous van also), producing amazing results! Cheers to you guys, love and hugs 'squeak- woofs' to pets... who we love as much as you. 🇭🇲❤ T. Queensland Australia. Oh and, they're called flares! Never knew.

[@TheBecke1983]

It has been a lifelong dream to stuff some dogs into a Flarespace. Thank you :D

[@philltwose4088]

I’m back in the room

[@Mamma-Tex]

Amazing craftsmanship! I know your Dad is proud!!!

[@dylhoward]

very informative, thank you ! Deffs needed if you want to sleep side ways

[@qminke4256]

Keep the cowboy mustache!!!!

[@TheVanderfulLife]

You appreciate us watching, I appreciate you making it! Providing entertaining videos

[@garrisoncummins7812]

You guys must be braking the bank doing those complex window design graphics! Working with that thin material like the quarter inch, you can cut it close and use a belt sander to your lines.

[@carolstender588]

really appreciate the effort you put into these videos. They are beautifully done, your van is looking so amazing!!

[@eppell]

Holy expensive, Batman! Didn’t realize flares ran that much

[@dogcatmanvan]

Yeah they can get pricey

[@robbiemulholland8412]

Love you two...looks great ❤

[@morgananderson9647]

Good stuff! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@SewingBoxDesigns]

It looks great! I almost want to rip out our kitchen window and make it a 3 or 4 inch bump out after watching this. Try Clear And Clear astringent for your mustache. Is more that sweat is getting caught at the hair base and yeast gets going in the pores. It's the same thing as mask rash.

[@dogcatmanvan]

Thanks for the tip!

[@imperfectadventure]

Nice! Beautiful. Helps me with my thoughts on how I want to trim mine out, thanks!

[@dogcatmanvan]

You're welcome, glad it helped a bit!

[@rojergrison3752]

And my happy place has been refilled . I really enjoy watching you two .

[@dogcatmanvan]

We appreciate you watching!

[@philltwose4088]

Looking good rock

[@philltwose4088]

If I had known you were doing this I wood (see what I did there 🙃) suggested looking at flexible plywood for the radius corners 2 - 3 pieces (they are thin) glued and made into a sandwich and bent to shape to form a rounded corner giving more space around the flare, I’ll get my coat 😮

[@dogcatmanvan]

Where could I get my hands on this so called flexible plywood?

[@philltwose4088]

@@dogcatmanvan don’t know if it posted before 🙃 Home Depot have bendy ply just cut into strips glue 2-3 to laminate and hold in a jig of some kind to fix the required shape while glue dries, then trim to fit, I did put a link which may have blocked the post

[@Grouch3682]

I feel like a fiend with how fast I scrabble to click these videos! As always love the channel and little tips to pick up here and there!

[@Swimdeep]

I love how meticulous you are even with prototyping new designs. Keep inspiring me you guys!🌿

[@allegrosotto2126]

Great job! Wonderful to see Julie looking good, the cowboy look is amazing!

[@i_love_rescue_animals]

Wow! That was A LOT of work, and it looks like you did an amazing job on it. Beautiful! ❤ You two are really cute together too. Just had to say it. 😄

[@jfxl1977]

I've been thinking about adding flares and this gave me some much needed data. Once again, thank you! And I love those little "blooper" bits at the end of the videos!

[@dogcatmanvan]

Thanks for making it to the end of the video haha

[@bchurchill3551]

Great job you guys! I love how you take pride in being amateur wood butchers that persevere. DBVB.

[@phoenixgirl70]

These turned out beautiful! I love the shapes and I know it’s difficult because a lot of us look at our imperfections or what we could have done better etc but a teeny gap in something you two built yourselves…that’s something to be so proud of! You guys are turning a van into a home by yourselves and made incredible artistic choices and trying out new things and I think you’re both doing an amazing job. What puzzles me is how you fit the 4 of you in the bed. There’s no way Rocky is not sleeping next to (or on top of) his dad!

[@pjsplace5665]

Maybe it’s just the hat you’re missing 🤠 to go wit da stach …

[@denisecafferky2248]

They look great. Well done, that was alot of work x

[@swagypotatoes]

I’ve never wanted to live in my car so badly

[@SewingBoxDesigns]

'So goodly' 😂 His first van was beautiful but weighty. This is going to be fantastic!

[@antoniobaez6282]

I'm surprised Flair didn't make and ship that with their Space.

[@karenfranz7262]

👍

[@RapidGW]

looks awesome and great advice!

[@wilderjess]

ahhhh I love seeing you two post one up! this is especially interesting to me, I always wondered how the F town I could do some trim work like this. looks like you guys nailed (and glued) it!!! you see tiny imperfections in the trim work, I see Masters At Work. I especially loved the intro w Julie "....and your soul".. 🤣 PS speaking of Julie... I kinda laugh to think how the channel has evolved (and for the better I may add)....maybe time to change the channel title with a little '+ Lady'?? hahaha. love you both, keep up the hard work and look forward to seeing more progress

[@dogcatmanvan]

A new name has definitely been on our minds. Thanks for watching and engaging with us!

[@roannathephoenix8561]

Creative and determined minds find a way! How's the weight on the van holding out?

[@dogcatmanvan]

We're still about 750lbs below the GVWR, but we're looking into better brakes and suspension right now.

[@bethstehouwer922]

[@TheBrownway]

first lol

[@philltwose4088]

All I would say about the tash is Village people YMCA if you’re old enough to know them 😂 biker vibes

[@DeSwillery]

I have to admit, a little disappointed that there were no "flare" jokes from Office Space!

[@dogcatmanvan]

Missed opportunity!

[@NovelNomadic]

Hey! Great video- what kind of insulation do you use in the flares? I may have missed that in the video.

[@dogcatmanvan]

I think it was foamular pink fanfold insulation. It didnt have a huge R value but we hoped something was better than nothing!

[@NovelNomadic]

@@dogcatmanvan Thank you!

[@whoinow84]

Which stain is that for the trim and backer?

[@Biffmin]

Do you have a link to the music you used in this video?

[@dogcatmanvan]

I get everything from Epidemic Sound

[@bchurchill3551]

Another comment for the algorithm, as usual, right?

[@dogcatmanvan]

We always appreciate your comments and engagement!

[@thebenson1983]

Nice job but when you guys tackle something it takes forever. The time and the materials you wasted it's would of been a hell a lot easier to just buy the trim kit.$750. for the trim. Like a day of work for both you and $50 an hour. CHEAP!!! You need to work smarter.

[@dogcatmanvan]

It does take a while, but the reason we chose to take the DIY route is mainly for content creation. We've seen several videos of folks buying the kit and installing it. We hadn't seen any videos of people building it themselves. We already aren't smart spending all this time making videos for a few thousand views haha. I'm not sure the trim kit would redeem that intelligence.
