In this episode I show you exactly how the walls, ceiling and doors were sheeted. This episode was quite intricate in terms of making cuts very precise and measuring to the millimetre.
For the walls I used 4mm bracing ply, and riveted it to the metal van body with the help of my mate Hayden. I then applied 4 or 5 coats of Vivid white which was a semi gloss water based paint.
The ceiling was completely sheeted with pine VJ panels, which clip into each other. The front wall, shelving and door panels were also sheeted with the same panelling as the ceiling.
I applied 4 coats of danish oil combined with sanding in between each coat to get the really nice smooth finish on the timber. The sanding/staining process went like this:
1. Sand with 240 grit sandpaper
Apply 1st coat of danish oil.
2. Sand with 400 grit sandpaper.
Apply 2nd coat of danish oil.
3. Sand with 600 grit sandpaper.
Apply 3rd coat of danish oil.
4. Sand with 800 grit sandpaper.
Apply 4th coat of danish oil.
I highly recommend buying a proper mask to safely breathe whilst apply the danish oil. My mask only cost around $40 and it did a great job!

Sheeting the van was quite time consuming and at some points I did need a 2nd helper but it turned out exactly how I wanted it :) The Danish Oil stain does slowly darken over a few months but it adds even more beautiful detail to the wood.

[@DelphyM]

Very inspiring man! I'm in process of renovating our old New Zealand Zephyr 12.6'' caravan (aluminium body works) . I need to sort out the roof and wall insulation as I'm worried about the condensated moisture.

[@noneoftheabove6425]

Travel With Jaz you dingo

[@HADJEE]

I use an electric carving knife to cut rock-wool.

[@seylnamazova1575]

[@MihovTV]

is cedar paneling shrinks or expands since you installed them?

[@ChakraWielder]

That trick using a wheel to measure the wheel arch is genius! Love this series dude.

[@JaznLori]

Cheers zenith it's amazing how the smallest things can help so much, power to you bro!

[@Natascha1979]

By far the most clear and precise instruction videos on how to build a van home. Just loving this series and the way you walk us viewers trough the whole process.

[@matthew4323]

You have one of if not the most, in depth, highest quality van builds on youtube! Your attention to detail and quality of craftsmanship is incredible! Always look forward to your updates!!

Thanks so much bro! really appreciate that, I will try to continue to put out the same quality content :)

[@lindakriegel5552]

Don’t know how I found this KZbin but I’m fascinated. Watched all 10 so far. No plans to ever live in or build a conversion van but how cool and how adorable you are! (No worries! I’m a 64 year old American lady!). Can’t wait to see your next video!

[@JaznLori]

Thanks linda! That's awesome you are watching for the pure interest and curiosity 😄 thanks for tuning in!

[@koolkar55]

Jaz I've said it before but you are a genius Mate. Thanks for sharing & doing such a magnificent job.

[@JaznLori]

haha thanks mate, really inspires me!

[@mirembaYT]

Wow. Your video is the first I've seen for a van build that uses this technique for getting the shape of the arch wells right. Saving this video for later reference and also subscribing. Thanks for the helpful vid!

[@JaznLori]

Thanks Bels haha glad it could suffice for your OCD :D

[@BelsGels]

[@JaznLori]

Amazing thanks so much Bels! Can't wait to head down south :)

[@ulrikgrothspangberg1764]

[@xcalibills]

Really, really amazing job on the roofing and especially on the front paneling. 👌 Also I really like the thumbnails for this series, looks very neat and professional.

[@JaznLori]

[@brianmi40]

Thanks, hadn't thought of gluing up the T&G before tracing and cutting out for custom door panels!

[@JaznLori]

no worries mate!

[@flyingdutch9818]

Looks good. FYI Painter’s tip, never use ‘Vivd White. It;s the most basic paint with no covering power. Going to ‘Natural white’ which has even just the smallest amount of ochre/black in it (you’d never pick it by eye) means at least one less coat needed . Costs nothing extra to get mixed up (well... you will have to wait ten minutes while they mix it) and time savings will be huge.

[@JaznLori]

Thanks for that pro tip that will be handy in the future :)

[@AMentorway4u]

I love seeing someone work. Ha. But seriously, great job on the inside. Time consuming but well worth it in the end. Great job. Stay safe and make great memories. Cheers.

[@JaznLori]

Thanks very much!

[@samuraihippo1]

[@rowdy1996]

Can’t wait for the next episode!!

[@JaznLori]

hopefully out ASAP! :)

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

Bloody top stuff again mate. Love the hole saw trick to get the right curve on the wheel arch, simple, but effective. Also, Well done to Hayden for his artsy film shots

[@mikescott1307]

You do good work..very nice!

[@tucson1952me]

I was impressed with your first episode and after watching 10 I'm very impressed with your organization and building skills. Thank you for sharing. I've also watched another van builder from England, 'Self Made Van' who also gave many good ideas. I'm looking forward to your next videos.

[@JaznLori]

Thanks very much I'm glad you got value from the series, stay tuned for more episodes out soon :)

[@seabunny3]

Another excellent video. Love your thoroughness and fantastic presentation. I was curious about the lack of vapour barrier on the walls so will be interesting to see if this causes any issues down the track.

[@JaznLori]

Thanks very much! yeah me too lets see how it goes :)

[@AlphaMachina]

You could use pieces of that pine board to do trim between your wall paneling. Just to cover the exposed cracks. Unless you're doing something similar in the future already. And.. I'd definitely have to use self tapping screws. Pre-drill, of course, where absolutely needed, but for all of that wood paneling, I'd use counter-sunk self-tapping. Absolutely incredible, beautiful work, mate.

[@JaznLori]

Thanks mate! Yeah I still have to put more of the pine panelling up and this will cover the small gaps, can't wait to do that cos it will look even better 😄 thanks again

[@kylesaab]

great build and great video!

[@JaznLori]

Thanks a lot! 😀

[@andiman45]

love that hole saw cutout to get the curve. Beats a scribe

[@JaznLori]

good idea hope it helps you

[@theexploringphotographer]

6:46 Like the rivet idea. Haven't seen that one so far.

[@JaznLori]

Thank you!~

[@DustinRokicki]

screw in rivet gun.... google it... mind blown

[@ajoco99]

Well done,nice project

[@JaznLori]

[@utubeisshite]

Quality videos mate

[@michaelschneider-]

+1. .. Unbelievable! .. You're a Master-Extrodinaire DIY van constructer. .. intention vs method, yeah man. .. Someone in-country look Herr Jaz up and buy this man a cigar. .. Nice work, exceptional inspiration. .. Good Luck.

[@mmanut]

Great job 👍 Vinny 🇺🇸

[@JaznLori]

Thanks vinny 😀

[@Jfowler1223]

Best Van Build Video!!

[@JaznLori]

Cheers JIM!

[@Punchypax]

Epic build!

[@JaznLori]

Cheers mate!

[@freetasman4271]

Very neat job and excellent video, thanks for sharing. Those that are worried about the contact of the timber or plywood with the metal of the vans I recommend applying 3 coats of good quality decking oil. I did not use timber in my build, instead, I used marine plywood.

[@JaznLori]

thanks for the tip mate :)

[@AquaRover]

Freetasman, what is the concern? Condensation between the wood and metal causing rot? Mold/mildew?

[@eipoc27]

Nice and Neat! Congrats!

[@JaznLori]

Thanks very much 😄

[@gregstoller1229]

Great job!! Appreciate the video

[@JaznLori]

Thanks Gregory you legend thanks for tuning in! 😀

[@n95home]

Hi again Jaz you can see your buddy had alot to do with the cinematography in this episode. Very effective liking the fade in and out of focus effects and hidden camera view shots 👍👍
