VAN BUILD UPPER CABINETS | BUILD & INSTALL

You two are such a great team and the quality of your work is impeccable! Glad I found you on line a couple years ago and I can’t wait to own one of your vans. Retirement is looking better every day! Thank you!

Just a small comment from my own personal experience as a trim carpenter. Have had issues with that brand of fast dry caulking before, so stopped using it. The non-fast dry version of that brand has been good to me; also Sherwin-Williams sells a fast dry I have not had any issues with. Great job, love the videos. Hoping to start a build in about 6 months so doing tons and tons of research.

Great informational video. Definitely motivating. Time to get to it, finally

Thank you. You got this 💪🏼

Great video guys! I can't wait for more! As a cabinet builder, I love to see how others do their builds and have them look so great. How is the paint holding up to chipping or water?

[@TimKatie]

Thank you! Hopefully you didn’t have too many critiques as a real pro ;) The paint has held up great so far on our last couple vans (oldest being >2 yrs on the road now)

@@TimKatie glue and pocket screws are amazingly strong and I use them whenever appropriate. I find the door lift shocks a bit tricky, so kudos for making it look easy. With one shock done to satisfaction, clamp the second open door to the first to hold them equal.

Cool 👍

[@taijitu123]

How are they holding up? Seems like hanging them with just wood screws would be prone to loosening up over time with vibration. I'm thinking about using toggle bolts.

[@EvanBethel-h1y]

When attaching these to the ceiling furring strips, how are you handling the 1/4” height difference from where the pine t&g and cabinets over lap? Doesn’t that create a gap between the cabinet top and furring?

[@Artmac375]

How did you squire cabinets to the van? Did you squire it to the floor of the van? Or did you just eyeball it?

[@alaskalogcabinyoga7050]

What are the measurements of each section of wood?

[@joehoffman7019]

Are you using the brand named screws or did you find a more generic/cost effective version?

[@TimKatie]

We just stick with the brand name Kreg pocket hole screws 👍🏻

[@kylieanneking2606]

What's the thickness of the wood you used? Is it lower than 1/2 plywood? It seems thin

[@TimKatie]

We use 1/2” Baltic birch for the carcass and 5/8” Baltic birch for the doors
