UK subscriber here. The manner in which you go about your business demonstrates serenity, an eagerness to overcome a problem and the satisfaction that waits once a problem has been conquered. I don’t know if you get this a lot but your informative, friendly and professional episodes has made me calmer in my projects. Hope that makes sense! The very best to you for 2020.

95% of my power tools are Milwaukee, but I made the plunge and diversified my colors with a makita track saw…thanks to watching your channel. Thank you for the great show.

[@simonandrews6160]

Great work Scott. I just finished my new fit out based on your original design, with a few personal mods. Thanks for the inspiration :)

[@owent2032]

I love organisation and tidiness! Great build Scott!

[@anthonygoodrich6487]

Grats Mr. Dubbs, great vid Mr. Brown. I'm about to outfit a van I just bought and enjoy seeing your ideas

[@chefsteven34]

Merry Christmas to you, your family, & friends. We appreciate all the resources it takes to bring Scott Brown Carpentry to life here in KZbin land. Keep up the good work. From you friends in the Pacific Northwest USA. Cheers!

Dude I love your van fit out, mine is also custom. Just hoss everything in the back and let it settle as I turn corners! Gz Byron.

That's how I roll too

That worked out nice! Just goes to show that everything we make is just a prototype and we always improve.

Great - going to have to rip out all my storage and start again 😂 Looks awesome Scott! 🙌🏻

[@olliemorrell6469]

Brilliant content. Watching over from the UK and everyone’s vans are all the same. Would love a set up just like yours. Keep up the hard work

[@dejanbrice8774]

I love how the international way of keeping the tubes re-usable is to stick a screw in the end haha! Nice one mate, good job!

Late comment here, but Dap makes a cap called the Dap cap. It kept some caulking of mine fresh for a couple months!

i guess im asking randomly but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!

[@gevanleeuwen747]

Thank for your video's. I am a dutch self-emplyed carpenter and i learned from your way of working. A speed square was unknown be me. In combination with a battery skilsaw it woks fantastic. Keep up the work.

[@HFRajuncajun]

Did not know the track saw attachment for the cordless router existed. That is amazing. Thanks for showing that! Jealous of your whole van build. The new drawer just makes it that much better.

[@johnnasey1770]

Now i've watched all your vids, I eagerly await each new one and savour it! keep em coming Scott

[@captmurf8357]

Just love the edits. Music, narration, it's all perfect. Well done

[@kevinkline3938]

Hey Scott, I know that you love the systainers, but if you got rid of them you would have 75% more storage space. I used to have everything in it's factory case, but had a temper tantrum one day and fired them all in the bin. Best thing I ever did. Now I have a couple of totes with wheels that I load up with what I need for the job, and have tons of space for more tools! Merry Christmas from Calgary, Canada.

[@MsElijah16]

Kevin Kline Did u buy the tough system trolley ? I just use a wheelbarrow sometimes

[@kevinkline3938]

@@MsElijah16 Hello back, I use a two wheeler with a couple of large soft sided tool bags. I got mine from Home Depot, and I also keep some smaller tool totes with specialty stuff in them like electrical tools. I grab the one I need and through it on the big bag and wheel them in. Have fun renovating!!

[@CLCLTD]

That’s actually a very good setup now with the side access aswell as top. Cool great video as usual

[@zavoina]

Kameron is now envious, not just because you have drawer 2.0., but nobody else could have made it all the way in there and back out to attach the slides and stop at the end. If you were in The Great Escape you'd make a good tunnel rat. :)

[@royalvarez6436]

Very nice redesign, I like that you accounted for clutter storage. Happy Holidays to all.

[@jonparker8170]

So good. Loving your work Scott...

[@dturner7182]

excellent video on the drawer - I am in the process with your inspirational design of my fit out. I have the flooring done, was glad to see an update particularly the back stop that I can incorporate, a pull feature, paint instead of carpet, totally dig the pullout sections below the "drawer". Great design my man. Funny my last project some of the wood was from new Zealand Im in Indiana. Cheers mate!

[@mcleaniechris]

Hey Scott thanks a million for this, a real walkthrough, and great tips - perfect vid mate. Merry Christmas

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

Cheers Chris 👍

Merry Christmas Scott and crew. Thanks for the great vids. All the best for 2020.

Great customer service from the rail guys.

[@azza1793]

Byron, considering that Scott was sitting on those new drawer runners since March i wouldn’t expect the clamps anytime soon 😁

[@josealc87]

Your jokes and editing style are consistently top notch. Love your channel :)

[@dvstN]

Hi Scott, Thumbs up on your vlogs! I found that putting my powertools and tools (i dont need often on the jobsite) in my van shelf without the case. This gives me a lot more room in the van. This room can be used to store more tools or materials. My van layout is different though. I have a verticaal shelf on the left side to store powertools, some handtools and the battery tools i dont use often. On the right side of the van a small shelf to store screws and nails. My allday use handtools and battery tools are in 2 toughsystemcases with a trolley. Trolley in put in the middle of the van :) Regards from Holland,

[@mzu2787]

Scott Brown: Recently discovered your channel. The editing, music, and your selection of projects all make for a very cool view and easy for me (us?) to follow along. 👍🏾 I’m thinking I could use a Makita router and it’s too bad that we can’t get that Toyota van here in the States. 😎 Your channel is awesome. Keep up the great work! ✌🏾

I have really wanted to pick up one of these tall Mercedes work vans recently. Budget wise videos like this definitely help make the best of the Dodge Caravan I have now which really sucks in comparison.

[@CharlieSkapentry]

proper smart that. Wish i could kit out my van like that and store stuff in the van, but too risky here in the UK

[@justgregnow]

Awesome drawer brah 👍 I have to do something similar to my van but you know how it goes, too many projects. 🤔😆

[@cb2000a]

Dear Toyota: Please sell this van in north America.

[@MandeepSingh-kl5rq]

Hey Scott, I couldn't help but notice that you don't have any self centering hinge drill bits. They usually come in a pack of 4. You get a 2.0, 2.5, 3.5 & a 4.0mm bit allowing you to install drawer slides all the way upto installing fire doors. Next time Gaston (I think I'm spelling it right) is in town ask him to grab you a set & try them out, they've made my life as a handyman a breeze when fitting new doors & kitchen drawers. 👍

[@tonyclausen8106]

Hi Scott. Great video, I like what you did the side entry storage. I just recently re-watched your old draw video to find out where you got your draw slides from. Mine arrived yesterday unfortunately they are one set short so I'll have to wait before starting my ute draw setup but can't wait.

[@MrtinL1]

Nice Byron. 😀👍🔨🔨🔨

[@krehbein]

I just ordered a product called Decked for my f150. It’s a heavy duty plastic unit with 2 drawers and a plastic top. Very strong, but now I’m thinking custom will be a lot better. The drawers can be the size of my tools, even little cubbies for things like levels. Only thing is the Decked units are weather resistant. With a custom solution I would still need to use my truck bed cover.

[@marckruger1296]

All you needed to do to make the old box fit, is rout the drawer slides into the sides. Half on frame. Half in drawer. I do however love the new disign!

[@michaelzimmermann353]

Gonna modify this idea to fit my work van. 2018 dodge grand caravan, just need to make it slightly different to fit behind the driver seat. Need to be able to fit 10' sticks of PVC pipe on the passenger side.

You can use 50mm pvc/plastic pipe for your glue/silicone. I have my fan fitted with some works perfect

[@bogdanmarkovic]

This kind of rails are very common here in Europe. However, whenever you have some heavy drawer it is always recommended to use two pairs per drawer and distribute the load. Of course when looking at specs they are pretty much always ok for normal applications but it does not say how long are they going to last. Also, deflection (down) is always gonna be smaller when using two rails. It would be really interesting seeing how much the face of the drawer drops down compared to the line when it was fully seated within the van. Laser level would do just fine for that measurement.

[@brucemacgregor2440]

Merry Christmas

[@crash86ed]

Impressive. That's a lot of weight

[@gregorylondos534]

Very Nice Re-Build of your Drawer... Sadly you should have made your left drawer while you had your tools out... Both quality and efficiency is a Carpenter’s satisfaction and dream. I live in Southern California and after 40 years it seems that every time I go into a near by City I drive by and see an old project of mine. They are still standing... My favorite local project was in the City of Loma Linda for the Ronald McDonald House. Greg
