Great to see you back mate

[@utilitarian]

Hey, welcome back Gary. I'd wondered where you had been. Hope that you're well!

[@markstohler7004]

very clever

[@GregVirgoe]

Hi Gary, a massive thank you for giving me a shout out in your video. I’ve been a huge fan of your channel since I started doing woodwork and admire your skill and expertise with what you produce. Hope we can meet again sometime. Take care buddy 👍🏼😃

[@GaryThomsonJoinery]

Thank Greg and your very welcome, your videos on camper van conversions 😄 Also noticed a wee jump in views half hour ago and tracked them back to your Instagram 👍😄 Have a nice break Greg and Lou 👍

[@robertturner4225]

[@GaryThomsonJoinery]

[@frankmckie2992]

[@brighton_locksmith]

Absolutely love this work/camper van! What an amazing idea and probably saves a fortune if you’re working away 👌🏼

[@GaryThomsonJoinery]

😄 Thank you Andy, it was a nice surprise to see your comments yesterday. I was in the workshop making a door blank and fitting three locks on it ( night latch, 5 lever and 5 lever dead lock). Yes being able to kip in the van while working away is very cool, went as far south as Kent and as far west as the Island of Ilay of the west coast. Keep uploading the videos, I’ve had a couple of evenings just watching them one after another 👍🔨😄

[@dbucka]

My automatic captions were translating “van” to “vine”! Ha! It’s never heard a Scot before. Brilliant set up!

[@neilhales5555]

nice job for I'm a fellow joiner

[@gavinkennedy6853]

Thank you for the wardrobes, still by far the best furniture in our house! This is a great video.

[@GaryThomsonJoinery]

Thanks Gavin, they were a joy to make, thank you so much for the work also 👍📐🔨😄

[@JimBob-lz1gy]

😂😂 I knew it would be a plane or somat. Great to see your vids again!

[@PhilsWorkshop1953]

Hello Gary absolutely fantastic very practical. Hope you’ve got a secondary battery and charge system and of course at the end you answered this question I should have known

[@GaryThomsonJoinery]

Thank you sir 👍🔨📐😄

[@grahammadden5384]

loved it

[@dragonslayer7587]

What a great idea! I saw you had a channel from the comment section of Wrangler-Star, and thought I'd check it out! You've done a great job. Beautiful wood works, and cabinets for a van!!

[@Phenrica]

Brill 👍🏻

[@mansi4899]

That's great, love it 👏 good idea

[@frankmorris2870]

Welcome back Gary. I'd wondered where you had been. Hope that you're well absolutely fantastic very practical as usual.

[@darrenelliott1916]

Looking forward to next instalment

[@Dazza19746]

Brilliant idea Gary! I’ve seen me throw a sleeping bag in the van and sleep on the job if I can! It’s rough but so am I! This is luxurious! You need a wee flip down tv 👍🏻

[@christopherrobertson4730]

Very inventive, you have given me a few ideas for my van cheers 👍🏻

[@j.m.wiersma5755]

Nice one gary

[@scottmcfarland1177]

Nice Idea! Miss your video's great job!

[@j..w443]

This video has given me some ideas Gary. As a bathroom fitter & plumber I’m still looking for the best way to use Vivaro LWB as a weekend van yet keep as a work van as well?

[@coreyz4944]

Thankyou, great vid

[@benmoffat1970]

What an informative video, I'm also a huge fan of Greg Virgo who inspired me to build my own camper. I've had a chuckle as well as you're a dead ringer for a Scottish hero, the late Ricky Fulton. Thanks 😜

[@GaryThomsonJoinery]

😂 Ricky Fulton 👍 The reverend I AM Jolly, Thanks Ben, yes Greg is the guy for Van conversions. 👍📐🔨😄

[@robertturner4225]

genius. will copy!

[@65plusfabulous56]

Awesome!!👍👍

[@samsingh2042]

Amazing

[@lapsedluddite3381]

Brilliant! That would have been perfect for me back in the day when I was an itenerant yacht refinisher. Working on those classic wooden sailboats deepened my appreciation for fine joinery, and how rare it is to find beautiful work in today's hectic world. Good to see you passing your skills on to your grandson!

[@GaryThomsonJoinery]

Beautiful comment, thank you so much. Would have loved to have seen some of your work 👍😄

[@lapsedluddite3381]

@@GaryThomsonJoinery Thank you! If you ever have occaision to rebuild some of the joinerywork on a fine classic wooden sailboat and you come accross "Kilroy was here" on a hidden bit - that was my signature on my favourite refinishing work.

[@davehiggins3640]

Nice to see you back

[@GaryThomsonJoinery]

Thank you Dave, getting really nice comments from folks 👍😄

[@manuelotero3962]

Perfect idea for the part timer traveler. Any words on how you made the vehicle plum to set the levels? Thanks

[@GaryThomsonJoinery]

Hi Mate, A couple of 6 x 2 blocks, only to tweak it a bit, but rather keep a look out for parking up in a relatively levelish place. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@Bacrenfencing]

Great to see how it all works Gary, and even better to meet you on the job the other week for a natter ! 😎 What van is that Gary, is that a crafter or large transit ? Great van for conversion

[@GaryThomsonJoinery]

Thanks Barry It’s a Mercedes sprinter, . Yes as soon as I drove and parked on that road you were working on I thought “ Ace “ really good to meet you 👍😄 🔨📐👍😄

[@Bacrenfencing]

Cheers Gary, I had it in my head it was a Crafter. Great van and Ace to meet you too - right, off to watch BBC news 🤣🤪

[@GaryThomsonJoinery]

@@Bacrenfencing 😂 that made me laugh,,,, 😂 BBC News 👍👍

[@rosc4321]

Nice job, considering doing something to be able to use the work can in a similar way. Quick question, did you put in any sound deadening or the reflective insulation? Ours needs to be completely empty for our use but wonder should I take off the wood panel and add some sound deadening and a very basic insulation layer. Not the full on camper convert job but just something to keep it a bit warmer and maybe reduce some condensation. Thanks for the ideas

[@coop_coop007]

Is that a Wampervan?
