Tip. Tape a small offcut of the ply to router base to stop it tiping inwards

[@captainplanet1260]

Now all i need to make this is....a workshop and a mountain of power tools yay

[@d.beaumont9157]

Watched this at least four times now. Love the way you work as a team. Im going give this a go. I'll remember to just tilt it just a little bit with the adjustable square.

[@zx10rmac84]

I must congratulate you on the best instructions I have seen yet. Thanks for all the effort guys, keep it shiny side up. 🇬🇧✌️

[@davelead2742]

No builders bum here! Gemma you sound so posh with your commentary and you look like your handy with the tools Simon saw your handiwork and can't wait for you and Gemma to start your other build and shut all the doubters down and show that you will do it and do it well As always your way is the right way all the best Dave

[@davidwalshe6232]

Surprised there's not more comments. Great tutorial :)

[@mijodo2008]

Excellent Teamwork and clear instructions. Cheers from Michael. Australia.

[@ThrottleoutEnduro1]

Cracking video more like these would be perfect well done guys

[@memohughes7463]

Great job you guys. Thanks for posting.

[@jaykudie]

This is really great craftsmanship and awsome detail will use this as a guide.

[@jackwilliam2965]

Amazing job, looks so good fitted.

[@outtoin]

Love you guys!!!

[@buffplums]

Busy busy people lol 😂 great stuff folks

[@sewskates]

Great video! Nice skill to have for some upcoming projects I would like to do.

[@r.lehmann9345]

Oh, how I wish we could get/order your BEATIFUL"" Creation Campers" here in Canada Waahh !!! 😰😥 Such awesome work, and sweet family people, with such a great cooperative, true team work attitude in how to do things and the knowledge and abilities are spot on ! Oh well, we will just have to wait for you folks to open an Ontario Canadian branch... LOL! 🤔😊👍🙌

[@robertturner4225]

thank you very much. very clearly explained

[@gregbolitho9775]

Good stuff, Creation Campers are back up. Nice job, definately buyin a router, and earmuffy thingys. Nice 1 Gem, doing a cracker job on the door. I'm rethinking, maybe a Commuter instead of an Iload or a Transporter. Thanks m8, you and yours stay safe and well.

[@wandango5913]

I’ve just come across this video, great workmanship from the both of you, didn’t realise that you were from Wrexham, I used to live down the road in Llay, just watched a few of the other videos and recognised where you are, a lovely peaceful spot by the river 👌🏻

[@vikkiruss]

Thank you for posting this, it’s giving me ideas on how to do the inside of my grandparents boat if I get her, much love

[@jeremyfdavies]

Nice job.

[@willemdodgerford5782]

That looks absolutely amazing! I have to ask though, where did you get that wood, and what is it called?

[@AlabamaTree]

Hiya, thanks for making and sharing this video. Where do you get the aluminium strip from that fits the front and bottom of the cupboard together? Thanks 🙂

[@willdowding3810]

Really good cheers

[@Creationcampers]

Much appreciated

[@torevalberg3510]

Awesome instructions. But side questions, what is it with UK and using carpeting? Its basically a small and dust magnet.

[@jessestrum]

nice vid nice folk

[@stevebrown6665]

Although I know myself it might be useful to say how you make the jig/template ie get the straight edges and nice curves Love the way KZbin automatically generates captions based on your “regional” ascent Great video BTW

[@davidphillips-rees5194]

CNC machine is one way to make the templates

[@AlabamaTree]

Great idea to use the router to cut out the locker door. Do you think those evo design catches would work ok for drawers? The info says it’s a drawer and door catch.

[@terryind9775]

Hi guys love the videos, can I ask where you buy your T trim

[@stevebrown6665]

Could I ask what size hinges you recommend please (and a good supplier too please)?

[@davidparker2724]

Great video! Do you do anything to avoid the surface laminate chipping or breaking away when routering???

[@Creationcampers]

No it cuts really clean with the router

[@sambloxham49]

Hi, what have you used on the van to line the walls? It doesn't look like carpet. Thanks

[@Teknamli]

What fixing did you use to to fix the cabinet to the van so that it's safe?

[@mikedavey3666]

Great video guys thanks for sharing. Can I ask where you buy you laminate board from. Keep up the good work.

[@Creationcampers]

These where from Morland uk

[@oxworksnarangba752]

Hi. Can you tell me where to get the aluminium extrusions and what thickness board they take please. Cheers

[@AdrenalineWings]

have you got a link for those latches ?

[@oisincahill3243]

Could you please let me know where to get the blinds for the frame windows. Thanks

[@andrewbennett137]

What did you use to cut the template out with ? Another Template ?

[@viv-i-vangoesforth]

Hya. just found and subscribed. I'm not a router expert but I enjoyed watching you do this. I'm presuming you used 15mm ply? If I was to attempt this using a 9mm ply template to cut 18mm ply, what length of bit would you suggest to router out two doors like you showed here? You mentioned the width of the cut but not the depth of the cutter. Many thanks :) - Kenny

[@Edgunsuk]

will be contacting you tomorrow !!

[@ivecamperbuild_thomas4084]

What size screws do you use to screw the 4 screws for the front to the back of the evo catchers many thanks

[@otraola2020]

Would you recommend a particular radius bend for corners like the doors for the overhead cabinet you did?

[@Creationcampers]

I just use a cutting disk for the radius 🤣

[@GraemeBurgess1]

what size flute bit did you use please

[@JamesMeparishvili]

Nice job ! Could you please write where I can get that lockers? It relocated seems nice . I am starting making kitchen cabinet and want to install it.

[@Creationcampers]

Evo catches

[@02emma1]

Thanks. Really informative. I'm just curious where did you get your router bit from. Is it specialised?

[@Creationcampers]

1.5mm slot cutter, you can get these off ebay x

[@teeth2k]

What about the router bit for the cupboard doors?

[@meatylee6590]

What size router bit for door cut outs please

[@murdomacleod2371]

Can I ask what type and size of router bit you use to cut out doors to accommodate T trim on door and T trim on opening .? thanks M

[@flyingfish3227]

Hi guys, Thanks for a great video. What size hinges do you use and where did you get them? Thanks👍

[@iinxptunemsp1793]

Hi. Where do u get that glossed board from. And is it painted gloss finish or laminate. Cheers.

[@rondejoux8006]

Thanks for showing, love your work. It must be kind of satisfying, do you enjoy that sort of work or is it just a job?

[@Creationcampers]

We love what we do, working would be no fun if we didn't enjoy it! We love that we can be creative and build things for people to just how they want it! Every job is different so never gets boring, obviously we don't enjoy the other side of running a business like taxes and vat!!!

[@1982MCI]

It’s obvious they love what they do and it’s more than just a job! If they didn’t enjoy it and it was only a job for them then I can promise you that they would not be making these videos to try and help show us out here how to do it on our own

[@henrypetryszyn6842]

High Guys .can you tell me where you purchased your OVO catches .love your enthusiasm. Thanks (H).

[@Creationcampers]

Direct from Evo

[@willemhinderiks3008]

Could you please send me a link for that router bit? Can’t seem to find it anywhere please can you help me out?

[@djg6391]

Were do you buy everything from?

[@markjarvis9780]

Where did you get the ali corner beading stuff from or is that from the same place as you got the lightweight ply?

[@lozbian68]

You can get from Moreland ply welshpool

[@mangozz7397]

You don't use locker trim on the doors just normal T trim? Also what are the door catches you use? Thanks Frank

[@mrtablet4662]

What wood do you use and how is the cupboard held/attached to the ceiling / wall? Cheers

[@Creationcampers]

These are made from high gloss cream lightweight plywood, held to the walls with kregs and to the celings with corner connectors

[@iknowallyoursecrets]

Great video, do you have a link to where I could get those hinges and catches from?

Thank you 👍

[@micksmithandyasmineadventu794]

how long did it take to cut out also did u cut all in one go

[@kernowsparks]

You should really be using ear protection as well tinnitus isn’t nice believe me I know, very informative always a quandary as to the best way to router out doors many thanks

[@kalikasurf]

Best way to cure tinnitus…….keep using the router without ear-pro. Takes a little while, but it definitely works

[@Teknamli]

@@kalikasurf sorry what is it that you use for tinnitus?

[@kalikasurf]

@@Teknamli going deaf……from continuing using loud machinery without ear-pro. it was a joke.

[@Teknamli]

@@kalikasurf got excited there for a second

[@guyjones4713]

You just use corner blocks to hold the whole cupboard up? This strong enough? I know people are unlikely to store really heavy stuff up there but just wondering how strong that actually is.

[@guyjones4713]

Ps sorry forgot to say great video. 😬👍🤪

[@JKKJ12]

Hi. Could you tell me me where the catches are from please and which ones they are?

[@jessestrum]

i thought i was the only left handed scouser

[@deeeeeeeench1209]

I'd say trims want soke pva on seen load shrink down in winter and be too short

[@MrKylerichards]

Where did you get those latches from? What are they called? Thanks!

[@Creationcampers]

They are Evo catches x

[@MrKylerichards]

@@Creationcampers Great thanks! I wish they shipped international! I have been trying to find this style of hatch for ages!

[@chrisbarber1187]

Has anyone found the aluminium extrusions yet that they are using? They don't seem to have put a link on about it yet ? 😢

[@tobywan12]

Where did you get / find your cutting templates

[@Creationcampers]

We make them all

[@finbarh6]

[@Sailingon]

Hey just noticed "ship happens" 😃

[@lindsayruddle198]

Where is your hearing protection???

[@harrywhiteford5021]

Hi guys n gals, Can you just use a jigsaw instead of a router? Trying to avoid buying a router, thanks.

[@Michael-m4y]

Hi what is that ally profile called please

[@ronboe6325]

Being less practiced, and prone to messing up; I'd have to put a shim on the off side of the router while cutting the door to prevent the router from tipping. Because, for me you know - it would. I was wondering if putting the slot cutting router in a table so you don't have to clamp the door down then take time to unclamp, reposition, reclamp. If the table surface was small enough you could grip the door on the edges so you had a proper grip. Being a wee bit older than you can say this (as in been there done that); get some hearing protection when using those machines. I prefer over the ear, but I got these molded units from Amazon for when I ride the motorcycle and tend to use them now (don't squish my head!). It does NOT affect the wife filter either. :^)

[@NomaddUK]

I needed ear defenders just watching so I think you guys should use them if you're doing this.

[@oisincahill3243]

Front... windows.

[@kiltycoldbum]

Great video, please get some ear protection on or you will suffer when older.

[@Mark-le8sr]

campers happen

[@nikkydavies5624]

Great video, iv used a 6.3mm bit and they don’t fit into each other 🫣
