Van Fit Out

Fitting out the van once and for all!
My main goal was to get every tool underneath the platform, so I can have the platform free for sheets of plywood and doors etc.
I did enjoy doing this and learned a lot as I went, hopefully you can take something from this video. In case you are wondering, it is a 2006 Toyota HIACE
fun fact:This system could also work as a camper, the platform at the top is the PERFECT place for a mattress.

Easy to tell you take pride in your work. And so do I. Started when I was 13, 52 now almost 40 years in construction. It's always nice to see that some people still care about doing quality work

[@Face_T4nk]

I’m fitting out my van and using yours as inspiration it’s that good. Love the fact everything is hidden away

[@jimsmith4690]

That is a sweet setup. I love to see every space serving a purpose, while keeping everything neat.

[@cesarmartinez6209]

Good job carpenter there’s nothing better then keeping your tools organized for the jobs

[@capnhawkins]

Your videos are very fun to watch, not just for the things you do, but also for the humour, the fun mood created by the light-hearted music, and the little gags you sprinkle in.

[@markodjukic7666]

Great videos. Your style is very easy on the eye. Clever van fit out. You have a way of making these tasks look extremely easy.

[@vzgsxr]

I used to have a van setup similar to this. I've found that having a setup this exact makes it hard when you accumulate more tools over the years - as its hard to find a free spot to store them.

[@morrisjvan]

Nice job. I've got the same van ,and have just finished re-fitting it out , as i wasn't happy with my first attempt either. It took about 50 hours . Probably 30 hrs actual construction time , and 20 hrs just staring at it , wondering what to do !

[@mokekr]

Lol

[@TheYazza1]

what van is that?

[@morrisjvan]

@@TheYazza1 toyota hiace

[@arajalali]

Excellent choice of music at the end. Double thumbs up.

[@LothianValet]

That's a great way of making of the most of the space for sure

[@surfriderock]

so many ideas for my builders trailer fitout! cheers from across the ditch

[@morosis82]

Always love watching someone that loves their trade, regardless of what it is.

[@maxplant6926]

Dude that's the best van fit out I've ever seen!

[@Sly_Wolf_1]

Great job! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@DaddyHexler]

That is dope. I'm an apprentice carpenter and getting myself a HiAce shortly to cut out just like this.

[@ericsolberg8812]

Nicely done! Taking it to the next level separates you from the others to your customers!

[@demodan22]

You have just inspired me to fit out my van properly!

[@Tobi-cz6yq]

Pure satisfaction to watch a skilled tradie doin his job. Drawers are a really good investment. Nothing more annoying than throwing all In the Ute and don’t find it anymore later. It’s just a huge time optimization if everything has its own space. I didn’t build a setup like this but store my stuff in boxes, it’s the non-carpenter-solution for now haha. Good job mate

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

Thank you mate

[@jimliggat7002]

I love your style Scott, nice job and nice tool choice!

[@MikeyyAlan]

First video I've seen of yours, great build, editing, and song choices my dude. Keep it up! Subbed

[@JordanGaming69]

Quality video, very underrated with regards to the amount of time filming/ editing this! Keen to get my own van from work and fit it out similar to this!

[@tostacey1]

I want fit my van out like this cheers bro.

[@tomaswagner3666]

Wtf? How great are these videos. I just can’t stop watching this! Man, you’re the Casey Neistat of the jobsite/ carpentery/ tools videos. I’d love to have these type of cars, an pasionable craftsmans in my country, where just few years ago craftsman was appreciated equally as salesmans or warehousemans. Just because the people like you, I’ve chosen to be the craftsman.. Big thanks to the time, you have to spend with your videos.

[@FrostedBook]

Never say never I guess. Time to watch the next one.... another great vid. Love watching your stuff

[@chrisreynolds6391]

It looks so perfect.

[@789muaythai9]

That’s really nice bro. Inspiring. Learned a lot just watching how you did this. Thank you 🎉

[@AustinLester]

Awesome build!!! Love the way you built around what you already have to fit your needs. I'm looking to do something similar to my truck. Cheers!

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

Have fun with it man 👍

[@genebrett5917]

loving the videos Scott. I looked up building tips and all I saw were fortnite videos, but then came across your channel. the how-to's are gold. (door hanging, frame straightening etc). It can be hard as an apprentice to learn everything we would like to as quick as we need to as it seems some employers are more concerned about making coin (which is understandable) than properly training their employees properly. I like that I can see how some things are done from your channel, I like how you emphasized the wooden handle hammers helping with elbow pain, as that was an issue for me nailing on weatherboards all the time, almost to the point where I had to stop because of injury. (I am now looking to invest in one). I like your tool comparisons (nailers) and other options (Rz masks, Japanese saws, dust extractors etc). I didn't know that dust extractors were compulsory (good piece of legal info). I think maybe for newbies, it may be worth mentioning how to use certain tools like a router? I have never used one but I am interested. I realize there may be other sources to find those videos but it may be beneficial to your channel and help to gain a wider audience? (just a thought). anyway I loved the van fitout video, I just wish you broke it down a tad more. (a comprehensive list of materials in the video description maybe? steps of build in more detail) though i understand that it can be quite difficult taking the extra time to do that while running a business. Thanks for the quality, clean content. I hope your channel does well.

[@ΑΡΙΣΤΕΙΔΗΣΠΑΠΑΓΙΑΝΝΗΣ-δ5δ]

Perfect friend.It's very clever

[@Pakkerotten]

what a nice setup

[@dturner7182]

thanks for the vid mate - helps me out quit a bit on my minivan fit out - props to you in your design, yes it takes far too long. Side note my son went sky diving in New Zealand last new years day - beautiful island you have

[@kmonnier]

Super sharp, great job!

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

Thanks!

[@healing2gether]

Lovely Job friend!! Looks great!

Build Guild n’ Refine TV thanks mate

[@ozthomas9768]

Bro that's awesome. I didn't go to that full extent with my van fit out but now I wish I did. On ya bro!!

[@henkdetank2881]

U know what i like? Parking on hills :3

[@davea7250]

Nice Job Scott.

[@Tez73]

Great fit out Scott .

[@Killgravve]

“It took far too long I’m not doing this again.” Fine work as always !

[@AndRyznar]

amazing man, happy 100k. you rock.

[@paulmaryon9088]

Great filming mate, and a great fit out, though now you've created all that extra space you'll have to buy some more tools!!

[@harrywilliams2241]

Mate your incredible! I don’t even have a van but was thinking of getting one and imagining how I’d create my shelf’s ect but this is just brilliant

[@ws-venicex3932]

Your choice of music ( underground hip hop style ) was what made me subscribe... you are definitely motivating for me to get a work van now

[@chezwickcheese139]

Vans just make more sense than a ute. Utes are super cool but vans are just more practical and secure.

[@northislandguy]

Fantastic 🤙🏽

[@Steveoallison1992]

Nice job Scott. I'm looking to build a similar setup to your van. I use the DeWalt Tstak system so will be able to do a similar job.

[@jeremywaters3049]

I absolutely love your videos, my kids do too! You're beyond talented! You've inspired me to buy more tools, halfway leave me job and want to move to New Zealand, LOL. I hope I can learn to do a quarter of the things you can do. Keep up the amazing videos!

[@bartlomiejczaplinski5891]

Awesome work dude

[@vzgsxr]

The best setup I have ever seen was a guy who bought a mini bus, he decked it out with shelving down both sides for all his tools. Being a mini bus he can stand comfortably in the back. He can also fit 6.0m lengths of timber inside the mini bus and close the rear door.

[@craigh9112]

vzgsxr I have a crafter Luton that’s 5.5m in the back and 2.5m high and I’ve kitted it out and I wouldn’t work out of any other van , the roof let’s light in so it’s nice and bright inside and with the tail lift I use that as a work bench ! Also when it’s closed up and locked it just looks like a removal van it’s doesn’t look like it might have kit inside

[@vzgsxr]

@@craigh9112 Perfect set up. 👍

[@bradfry2259]

Hey Scott, I am a flooring installer and a great thing for cleaning up that contact adhesive is fuelite we use it all the time.

[@dystopiastu83]

Great set up !

[@andrewdavies1312]

Looks mint.

[@iPauuLx]

Gradually making my way through the episodes can’t get enough! lol joiner myself, would happily work for free with you and Paerau

[@Klocaine237]

Cool build out

Just WOW well done good editing and good personality 🤗

Brilliant

Wonderful thanks for sharing

[@franky7]

Awesome

Thanks, man. Will copy your design to my van. Solute from a 3rd year tradie + draftsman in Auckland.

I have those Skull Candy headphones 😎👍

Great edit!.

Thanks Scott, its similar to my van setup but a lot better. Just started watching your videos, Im based in Dunedin. I'm taking notes mate. Cheers.

[@stickbrick8219]

Impressive

[@oscardacrus]

Me encanta muy buen trabajo

[@josh7339]

thats awsome dude

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

Cheers man

[@Stewbular]

Excellent job!! I have always put power tool boxes on end like books instead of stacked Easier to see & grab the tool you want without having take out the box on top of the box you need But I understand that those Makita boxes are designed to stack

[@Cameron2874]

Great work and like the different style of storage draws with space on top. Mine is more like Cameron's style but about to do refit again for same reason as yours. Little bit more detail would be great if you do any more like this bro so we can all have some 💡moments

[@salvatoresaccoccio2379]

Looks good, dollars to donuts his tools wind up in compound buckets!

[@ziggiesaquaticexotics8270]

I liked the part about spaghat the cat lol

[@woodturninguk6134]

Great job fella bet you hate it when people park up close to rear doors on a job tho

[@ziqianli8057]

nice work, but we all know after one or two jobs it takes about half day to get back to organized again.

[@FranciscoMartinez-zv2rw]

So true

[@heathsmith10telco90]

👌 sweet set up, agreed, after a bit with more gear and less time it always turns to a drop and grab cluster 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@TAH1712]

no no, a place for everything and everything in it's place...well, that's the theory .

[@karlmcmanus4816]

Not if you are a heterosexual carpenter

[@fidane105]

Vert good job dude. A lot of store space. Greeting from belgium. You Just won à New membre for your channel. Keep going.

bro your the man!!!!

[@jono7616]

you know what would look cool in this van fit out.... Kaizen foam for all your tools so you can find everything really easy, and you wouldnt need all the bulky tool cases anymore :)

[@oliverr.5167]

Smart!

[@Ulthion]

Do something like this, for smaller cars like kombi/estate and hatchback. This will be more challenging :D

[@tresslerj1985]

My concern is all that heavy wood. I'm thinking of using tin studs for partitions and balsa wood if possible 😂

[@JosStrange]

I love it.

[@Nick-be5hh]

Nice

[@stephencoleman6413]

Great job her practical....I'm dying to find the time to do something similar

[@SidKneeGeo]

Just about to take on something very similar for my van . Hope it ends up this good

[@diymanable]

That's exactly what I had in mind for my car reality was I spent about an hour on a Saturday and made a real budget job out of old fencing palings lol lol . Sort of as long as it works attitude lol . Awesome job mate . And a bit of inspiration for me to make my one properly lol

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

Haha, yeah the plywood is a little more robust. But you could wrap just about any vehicle fitout in carpet and it will look the part 👍

[@diymanable]

Scott Brown Carpentry haha yep carpet and No More Gaps hides many sins lol lol .

[@gray5857]

Thats a pretty sick van Scott the vans are the best for carpenty in my mind. All tools inside and dry. Loads of storage and still able to pull a load in a trailer. Put stuff on the roof and they even come with a small canopy. Love the vids . Whats your editing platform? Thanks for the videos filled with content and entertainment. 👍🏻

[@bradleythompson5073]

Not bad son..... not bad at all. Gonna do the same but to a truck.

[@bw4500]

Love this mate. Great build, great editing, subscribed. Shame about the no more van builds, #vanlife conversions are popular right now.

[@bicanoo_magic3452]

That was an orgasm to watch... such a nice van fit-out...and so ingenious.. clever bastard you are!! That was the last straw for me. I'm going to build my own van fit-out rather than pay some idiot a fortune and get average.....

[@oleskullerudlier6112]

Clever setup! Might have to copy that with some modifications according to my tools of course. What are the speccs for the rails, do you know?

[@tomobrien8417]

good chippy but proper tune at the beginig haven;t heard it for years

Wow so well thought out: How is it now? I did see the new drawer. Well Done
