Young man, I am a 71 year old professional wood worker/ cabinet maker/ furniture maker/ builder. Not bragging, just giving background information. I am completely blown away…..but not just by your skill set, but by you! What an amazing and incredible build out. The creativity and ingenuity are second to none. The perseverance and commitment speak to your character. I love your temperament and thoroughly enjoyed you sharing your fuck up when you had to redo that kerfed plywood panel for the toilet. Not to take joy in your screw up, but to show those who don’t work with their hands the challenges faced in tactile work. You are most brilliant. Looking forward to more videos……loved your mock stealing of your sister’s couch. Best of travels.

Well said Sir & spot on! Yes indeed, a remarkable young man with a future in carpentry skills & great ideas! You don't see much of that these days anymore!!! Definitely also blown away!!!

I am 70 years old and live in Holland, MI. I wanted to tell you I think you are an exceptionally good carpenter and a talented young man. I'm very impressed with the skills you have at such a young age. Besides that your work ethic at this age is highly admirable, so many young people do not have what you have going for them. I honestly believe you will go a very long way in your lifetime if you keep this up. Don't get discouraged or EVER give up, persistence pays off. I'm very sorry you lost your dad, he was a good man if he raised a son like you.

Young man, I rarely watch entire videos, especially on YT. The content, presentation and your skill set is impressive and suggests much more than learned carpentry, electrical and project management prowess. The maturity and patience displayed in the build and presentation, the ease and confidence in communicating to your audience, the right balance of instruction and demonstration, excellent choice of background music (!), and added bonus levity between you and sis, makes this video must see for my son! Condolences to you and your family - writing as a black father, can only imagine how proud yours was of the son he raised. Looking forward to more content, perhaps with build plans that us not so skilled could substitute with Ikea or standard prefab cabinets. Godspeed!

[@RebeccaSmoot-b9s]

I’m sure your father was and is EXTREMELY PROUD OF YOU!!! So much talent in one person!

[@Nat_Sarim]

Agreed.🙏

[@Gavinsnana]

My heart goes out to you, losing a parent is so very very difficult. I applaud you for soldiering on with this video. Regarding the build and your videography -you-are-absolutely-amazing! 👏🏽👍🏽 I sold my Sprinter in April because once I got the insulation installed, I was completely overwhelmed. On the bright side, I did live in it full time and traveled for a year. If you had been around perhaps I would have tackled the rest. I’m certain that many people will benefit from your course. I totally agree with you the price of a build is outrageous! But with that said, quality craftsmanship carries a hefty price tag. There are a number of skills that one has to gain to build a van, and I had none. Although I no longer have a van, I’ve subscribed and will be giving you regular thumbs up. All the best to you.

2:00 Excuse me, but it's terrible! He laid the floor directly on the rusty base. He did not remove the rust and did not treat the metal from corrosion with anything! This bus requires rust removal, painting and anti-corrosion treatment. And he stuck everything on rust! We don't need such a motorhome. It will rot soon. 5:15 Terrible! He did not cover the sharp edges of the metal with anything and pushed the wires into the hole! Over time, they will wear out.

So sorry to hear about the passing of your father. RIP to a great man who gave the world great children. I hope you have a lot of sponsors and opportunities flooding in because you’re the top tier in this industry, and very humble. Your father must’ve been so incredibly proud of you. What about doing a segment about his impact on you and who he was? I’d love to see it. You have a lovely sister too. Haven’t seen your Mom, I’m new to your channel.

[@cbufffly]

Me too...but this where I want to spend my time.

[@kevache1017]

As a master carpenter/plumber/electrician, I am amazed. The work you put into this van is undeniably the most brilliant art I have ever seen. It would have been an honor to have you as a student/learner in these crafts. God bless you for your time and effort.

[@mariobiera9797]

Your build style is very distinct and super practical! Condolences for your loss. I was wondering why you haven't posted in a while. Your videos are a huge inspiration for the DIY community!

[@traceewales8422]

First, my prayers go out to you and your family. It’s hard to recuperate after the loss of a parent. Second, your skills are so incredible. What you did to this van proves YOU can build for under $10,000. Not everyone can do what you do! Please don’t sell yourself short. Good luck with whatever you’re able to do in the future with teaching/sharing your talents. I enjoy watching your videos.

[@gordonfreeman9733]

This now is one of my favourite videos in 15 years on this platform. Absolutely mind blowing. I am not sure if there is anything more pleasing to watch than a man, who passionately building something with his own hands and smart financial management. Shaking your hand through the screen, man. Best wishes to you and your family.

[@kielarae4225]

Thank you for showing that you can build on a budget! Your skills and willingness to help teach others is amazing! Anniversaries are tough. Blessings and prayers!!

[@bradshores9617]

You are insanely talented. I don’t think people realize the difficulty one would overcome doing all of that work the way you did. Outstanding job

[@ds1755]

First off, deepest condolences to you and your family. Lost of a loved one is never easy. Towards the end of the video when you explained some finishing needs to be done etc, I could see how challenging it was for you to complete this build with all other family challenges going on. Thank you for completing this build, I’ve been following your content since almost day one when you were cutting wood and designing in your apartment in VA. You my friend have grown so much, your experience truly shows in your work. Take some well needed time for you and your family. We’re not going anywhere, when you decide to put a course or some kind of training together just let us(your followers) know. Wish you the best and continue to stay positive and grow. Vet to Vet, Salute my brother..💪🏽🙏🏽

[@GaiaCarney]

@ds1755 you’ve said it best 🕊 All my love, DualEx, be well

[@rickdesanto7595]

I've been building homes as a master carpenter and contractor. You my brother definately not only have skills but the talent. Great job. And my condolences for your loss.

[@karamichele3057]

Big love to you while you navigate the feelings of the loss of your dad. I lost my mom this year, so deep empathy. Put me in a tailspin too. What a great job he did bc you turned out great! Amazing build, brother. Many blessings to you!

[@dukeonwheels]

Bro what can’t you do? Architect, interior designer, welder, carpenter, electrician, plumber, HVAC, painter, filmmaker, seamstress, and probably more. And you’re super resourceful. Finding a working tv destined for the trash heap took me out lol. I like doing DIY projects but watching this made me realize there’s levels to this that I haven’t even scratched. Makes me wish I did the military and learned a trade first before going to college. I’m still willing to learn so I would be interested in one of your courses. Your craftsmanship, creativity, and level of detail is really amazing!

[@lisatanz]

I’m not even done watching this and I had to stop and comment. I’m so blown away and in awe of your talents. I just happened across this and decided to stop. You’re a carpenter, electrician, plumber, designer and more! You make it look flawless and are neat while working. I can’t wait to see the end, but I will. Back I go to finish this. CONGRATULATIONS!!! Sooo, I just finished and am ready for MORE, MORE, MORE! You can even sew?! REALLY?? You’re a real, live, actual SUPER HERO! Dude! I’m bursting with pride for you! You’re the whole package, buddy. Talent, kind, humble and handsome. (What a sweet brother, too. Super typical of one to take the cushion and THEN get her a new couch! Hahaha!) I’m glad you took a good break after your daddy passed. I’m very, very sorry to hear it. I lost my dad 13 years ago and it’s still tough. He was with you while you finished. Maybe he took you to the spot you just happened to find a free TV! 🙂 Keep God first and you will always be blessed. Best of everything for you! I’m also about to hit that subscribe button!

[@rmilkyswife]

You said everything I was thinking. I just stumbled upon this video and had to subscribe. He’s a very talented young man .

[@ssledge2454]

OMG!!! I feel the same as you guys. I'm speechless. Definitely Subscribing

[@newageancient8592]

back up lady, youre gonna have to fight me for him! 😆 (playing) (kinda) Seriously though, with a skillset like this man has, hes an absolute gem in a world full of turds! (talking in front of you like youre not even here ☺️) Bravo, dude! This build is SO well done!! Every bit of it... Wanna collab? -- I dont mind waiting on line.

[@lisatanz]

@@newageancient8592 isn’t he worth fighting over?! Seriously, it’s so satisfying to see someone “have it all”. We don’t come across these often. He’s basically a unicorn! 😎

[@tobins6800]

You made so many things look so easy. The craftsmanship is top notch. It's not easy to take inexpensive materials and make em look the way you do, editing also makes it look so much easier too. Speaking on that point, videography was phenominal, editing top notch as well. Story telling done right too. Less than a couple of minutes in, I understood why your sub count is where it is as well as the view count. Kudos man...

[@mzwisdom7504]

He's Gifted for true.

[@ArmCavTrooper]

This is maybe the most amazing video I've seen on KZbin. Others here have commented about the skills and creativity you demonstrated in the buildout of van and in the making of this video, but here is what I saw: skilled carpenter, joiner, electrician, plumber, creative and highly skilled videographer, interior designer, architect, skilled negotiator (with your sister for the cushion from her sofa), scrounger (for materials and components), seamster (male version of seamstress?) and all around cool guy. I loved the chill music in the background and the epilogue in which you discussed your ideas for an educational course. I live in Japan, and I see a lot of the skills and attention to detail (especially in the woodwork) you demonstrated in the work of Japanese craftsmen. I will happily subscribe and follow you, my man! Keep up the excellent work.

[@dorothyclaygardner9788]

So sorry to hear the loss of your Dad. You did a great job. A son to feel real proud of. Blessings. Much success to you🎉🎉🎉

[@d.i.a.5392]

Engineer here, amazing! Clearly this was not your first time however the patience and all other skills is impeccable. Sorry for your loss, I believe he is a proud father!

[@ChristianCarnivore333]

Sorry to hear about your dad. He must have been quite an amazing influence in your life. I have never seen a person so skilled do a build with such complexity. I am completely blown away that someone your age is so talented and focused. Your family must be incredibly proud of your accomplishments! The question I have is how many hours did you put into the build? Lastly, what State are you in? Way to go DualEx, that build is amazing

[@norbertrosado4190]

This gentleman a genius at his trade. So meticulous in every detail. Craft knowledge and workmanship are impecable. Totally impressed and mesmerized by this gentleman. I couldn't get enough.

[@tommynikon2283]

Gotta give chops where due: YOU have 'em, bro! HUGE talent; you have the esthetic and manual hands-on skillsets; CRAFTSMAN comes to mind. Been following you for years; I'm always surprised- and appreciative of all the hard work it takes. Your results= WORTH it.

[@benitajohnson4960]

Build a Luxury Camper Van 4 less than $10,000 Thank you for sharing your inner spirit is Devine. I'm a senior citizen who recently had my home taken from me. Your video made me cry You give me hope. Because of your video, I found the courage to buy used hand tools and practice with pallet wood ( I have a small SUV and with a crowbar I can pick up pallets off the street) So far, I have only made plant stands and magazine racks but I'm encouraged. I'm saving up to buy something they will never again be able to take from me. God Bless you always

[@Crispietreats]

Good luck to you mate, let us know how you progress

[@AksamRafiz]

Who's they?

[@davesarn]

BRILLIANTLY done my friend and EVERYTHING you said about van pricing is spot on. It's like no one has any sense of value anymore. My deepest condolences and prayers for your father's passing. I went through it years ago and it's life-altering. Keep putting your amazing talent out there bro - you have a gift!

[@darksarcasm4835]

You have done a fantastic build. ❤ I love it! I’m sorry about you Dad. God bless you!

[@genevievevalle3286]

Condolences on the passing of your Dad. You are so talented. You can do anything. You can make it work. Thanks for the video. You do beautiful work. God bless

[@gigaset41a1]

I am absolutely blown away. Wiring, Plumbing, Woodworking, video editing. Is there anything you cant do? Very impressive build man. I am looking to do the same thing. I've watched a few of these conversion videos and yours stands neck and shoulders above the rest. Subbed!

[@oringathers1289]

Young Brother, I'm so proud of you that you saw your vision and made it a reality. You're Dad is so proud of you, and so am I God bless you, King

[@christinec9441]

First, I’m so sorry for your loss losing a parent is tough. Second, you are the most incredible builder I’ve ever seen you can do it all. The world needs more people with your skill set and the world would be a much better place. Keep going with your plans and I can’t wait to see what you do next!

[@tinabutler6723]

Very impressed with your skills. Love how you don’t just skimp on your corners. Everything is complete and done correctly, not just nailed together. Beautiful work!!! I’m so very sorry for the loss of your Dad. ❤️

[@glenjones1418]

Sorry for your loss. You are a talented, inspiring young man and I appreciate your ingenuity. Good luck in your future endeavors!

[@topspurs]

A breath of fresh air, someone showing how to do things on a limited budget and not trying to rip anyone off, well done and thank you man from across the pond in the U.K. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@porpo-donut]

The vehicle has a "drive train & suspension" system. That's rated for the weight/height of the vehicle for operation safely at speeds on a road. Motorhome manufacturers know this. Make sure you understand what you are building on. What the engine and transmission..front, and expecially rear axle weight is rated for. Otherwise, you are a disaster on the road to yourself and those driving on the road around you. Like taking a fiat, take the tires off. Replace them all around with some 4 year old's bicycle tires, take the front and back forks, with a bicycle brake system, slap it on as the car's suspension system, and expect the fiat to run right at 55mph. This is a decorative clown video so who created it on youtube makes money off of it.

[@Jc4elayne]

This was THE best build video I’ve ever seen! The editing was smooth, music on point, and the content was exemplary! Keep doing what you do. My condolences for your Father's passing.

[@prfatal]

The most multi-talented person I have ever seen work! So many different skills in one. Your Dad must be looking down at you with a big smile! Stay strong!

[@rubenabell1555]

You have truly skilled hands and a big heart May The Lord comfort you and your sister Keep doing what you do. I love how creative you are

[@raivanhall]

Brutha- you’ve inspired me to get some tools and build something in my office. Also, for me you hit all of the right notes in terms of consumerism and rethinking the construct of value. Lastly, you produced the hell out of this video with music, natural sound, camera movement etc.Something has definitely leveled up in your video skills. You really stand out on KZbin; please believe that. Keep going!

[@melissarobinson5189]

First of all- my deepest condolences on the loss of your father. I’m keeping you and your family in my thoughts & prayers. Second- all of your van builds absolutely rock! Keep the vids coming please! BTW- I’m a 54 year old veteran teacher (taught 21+ years) and I’m learning everyday, so thank you!

[@PaulM28]

First time watcher. I'm always impressed by DIY proficiency, but to be able to record the whole process in such an engaging way AND during the loss of a parent? You're made of something else, man. Truly inspirational skill and ethic. Subbed ✌️

[@richardb4022]

He def did not add labor into that 10 grand price. He does awesome work, but it looks like it would've taken months o do. Good for him having all that know how though! 👏

[@chefomerbinabdelaziz2537]

Young man. I'm blown away with your impressive skills, creativity, courage, willingness to help others and the good ethic of showing detailes even the fails. I'm sorry for your lost and I'm sure your father was a great one to give a birth to such a great son like you. Keep up the good work.
