Thank you to you both for this info. I've been wanting to build a very light pop-up camper that I can tow with a small car. (BMW328d, 280 lbft torq) If I can get an aluminum trailer base made, using techniques learned from these videos, I should be able to make a unit that is strong and ultra light! I'm not using paper bags, rather a fine cloth and then painted. Cabinet doors: foam & maple veneer!

I'm wondering if you considered applying the screen first to the entire panel before cutting and assembly. Then, once assembled, apply the screen to the seams. I would think it would be easier to do the entire panel rather than the individual surfaces.
@zhkopec5 жыл бұрын
Might work. Would make it harder to cut through though. And youd still have to put some on afterwords to strengthen the corners etc. 👍

They do work, but they don't give a very smooth edge when cutting closed cell foam, such as what was being used here. We cut a very similar closed cell foam, called EVA, at my work, with the use of a foam saw. Our saws have finer blades, but they still give a slightly rough edge. I've used a flat blade, for a neater job, but it needs lubrication with silicone spray (or similar), to prevent the foam from grabbing the blade. I haven't tried a hot wire, or hot knife, yet. Apparently they do a great job.

Gorilla glue is water activated. It normally cures via water in the materials (wood for example) or via atmospheric humidity. By sealing it between two pieces of totally dry foam and isolating it from the atmosphere, you've drastically reduced its ability to cure. You've weakened it substantially from what it could be.

Thanks for the content Kopec. I am yet to see any long term evidence of this type of construction lasting the test of time. Particular in a mobile application. A much better option, if choosing to make your own composite material is to use high density polyurethane foam with fibreglass layers. One of the issues with your method of construction is the lack of strength where the panels meet. As with the fibreglass method, the outer material cannot conform to a 45 degree angle. For this reason a resin filler needs to be used to "round" out the joines thus allowing the outer material to effectively bond with the surfaces. Cheers

Thanks for making this really interesting video. Personally, I would have made a proper wooden frame, rather than just using blocks for the hinges to attach too. I also probably would laminate the entire structure with thin plywood or something similar, for added strength, while not adding too much extra weight. 8:15 It's good to hear someone talking sense, for once. There's a YT channel for some company that does polyurethane floor coatings. They weren't wearing masks, while coating the floor. They claimed their product isn't toxic, because it's made from natural products. -That doesn't mean anything, because so is cyanide! Anyway, the MSDS sheets for the polyurethane hardener actually says to wear a respirator etc. because it's toxic. I actually sell polyurethane foam (mattress foam). The main ingredients are water and petrochemicals, so they have to wear respirators, gloves, protective eye-wear etc. in the factory, where it's made.

Just not seeing the time invested worth it as there's so many steps and preplanning for wood inserts where needed for screwing strength, such as for cabinet doors... Would instead just use a mix of mostly 1/2" and where absolutely necessary 3/4" plywood (countertop, bed platform), and use a jigsaw to take the "body" out of vertical sheets by cutting out the middle area to leave just about 2" around the outer perimeter... That way you get less assembly time, reduced weight over continuous plywood, and ready strength for screwing anywhere still.

I considered vinyl but I actually did like the paper finish texture.

Nomad has engineering skills and paid attention in science class. But hey, there is no wrong way to build a house......right?

I'd use a electric heat styrofoam cutter instead of a razor blade and foam fusion glue.

why so many of you think it's cool to put background music in, I don't know but it's just annoying.

Go to Harbor freight get a craig jig copy watch a couple you tube vids and move on. That little extra weight won't effect things that much

I don't get it. Why not just build cabinets out of some nice plywood. Goes pretty fast and you have a real cabinet when you're done. Regarding weight, my van is lined with plywood, the upper cabinets are plywood, the kitchen cabinet is plywood, the bed/garage is plywood and after loading it up with everything that I could possibly need including fuel, food, water, ourselves, everything for an extended trip of a couple of months boondocking, we are still 1000 pounds under capacity (Sprinter 2500 144 tall).

@KD For the sake of trying something different, I'd assume. Experimentation, creativity, curiosity! Tried and true is great but new techniques are born from trial and error, and breed inspiration and ideas. I think it was great to share what worked and what didn't, brave and very interesting 😀

That music made the video unwatchable. It is loud and you are forced to listen to it because we don't want to miss your instruction. Damn that music sucks. Going to downvote the video because of it.
