Well after some explicit content hanging from the wall I had to take down the video and re upload with her assets blurred (apologies if you were hoping to see that). Anyway the kitchen build is fully under way so I hope you enjoy the video 🤙🏼
Die hard flashbacks :P
Ha ha, saw it the first time before the re upload. Cheered up my evening!
You can still see them at one point
was gonna say i started to put a comment down and ya vid was gone lol
It’s looking amazing the vans coming along nicely
The person who sold the kitchen to you is a genious, normally u pay someone to remove a kitchen, but she’s being paid for her kitchen to be removed😂
It was a match that both parties benefited from. A right touch Rodney.
15.15 will screw the two units together, thats what the pros do, 19.05 the draws are out of alignment, because the unit is over to the left at the top corner, just push the unit at the top to the right and the draws will be aligned
Keep a couple of drawers and doors just in case you break or damage the stuff inside the van . Don't throw all away .
He could use one of the doors for his access to the underneath of his bed.
Good for you Will, but it never ceases to amaze me why people want to change a perfectly good kitchen when they can paint it or change fronts.
Your confidence has come on leaps and bounds since the last time I watched you about a month ago .
Nice one kid. I've never seen anyone so excited about washing dishes(watching the sexy senioretas🤣) Keep up the good work. It's nice to see you looking happier. Take care Al
It's great seeing you so inspired and excited again after recent weeks! The kitchen looks fab and you got a bargain there. I would silicone the sink and hob in so you have a waterproof barrier stopping anything dripping underneath. If the drawers are still sticking, maybe sand a mm or so from the top of each front if you're painting over them anyway. Looking forward to the next update!
Thanks for the tips Cheska I’ll make sure I do that
Wow she gave that kitchen away, great deal for you!! Even used thats a thousand dollar kitchen all day long
You did a great job there mate . Good find and well adapted . Can’t wait to see how it looks finished .
Making mistakes is part of the learning process, good job Will.
That marketplace montage took some production, buddy, it was like something out of Antman! Solid work as always!
This is a prefect example of 'van life ' not the nomad life style. Fortunately God loves a 'tryer'
Don’t forget that you’ll need to stop the drawers sliding open when you drive! Possibly child locks?
Can you use any of the spare kitchen bits in the garage under the bed? Handy to open into the van living space for extra storage?
Where are the gas cylinder and water and grey water tanks going? Logically under the cooker. Fridge would need to be under the bed possibly.
You could add a hinged extension to the worktop for extra worktop for food prep which would fold down when you need the seat.
W😯W, after few weeks of speed breaks...finally your stars are supporting you...you got almost custom made kitchen table
I was building my own mini car-camper with Facebook. It was amazing. Got everything I need, a lot of stuff for free and even solar panels and a projector. The car itself was only £350 as well! Then it got stolen along with all the stuff I’d bought. 2 months after my other car was stolen 😂 so now I’ve given up on van life and just watch your videos 👍🤙
Hey hey! Got one idea, top drawer, take the back part off and cut an u shape hole around the sink, that way you have the sides to fill with cleaning stuff and stuff 😂 also, most important, do not forget the bin spot!!! 😂 Cheers
Will, you made your poor old dad lift these heavy things! You should be looking after him and making sure he is OK!
Btw.... I forgot to mention, your editing skills are bloody brilliant from how I remember it in the Galaxy days, so it's not just van life modding skills that have taken a leap, good job Vilhelm👍
Child safety locks would work on your drawers and cabinet doors. They're inexpensive too. I've seen other vanlifer's recommend them. Love what you're doing. 😎👍
totally cool that you get to do stuff like that with your dad
I really like the blue color on the drawers make it pop in ur van also make the top drawer short for the plumbing and use that top drawer for smalls things put in drawer and make another bottom drawer next under the gray water tank and fresh water tank underneath make another drawer there for ur plates plastics forks etc plates etc. Looking mints
Good job mate, just watch out for the old boys back though. You're much stronger than him and won't need the recovery. If you look after him he will look after you!
Hey Will, You did such a brilliant job ripping out the Kitchen with help from your Dad, I love your enthusiasm as it is good to see you more happy, and motivated…..I cannot wait to see the finish end result! 😊👍
You could use a child locking system on the drawers which is usually meant to stop kids opening drawers but in this case would lock the drawers in place while moving.
Buy little magnets that have double sided tape on the back sides that will be enough to hold each of your drawers and cabinets from coming open when driving
I love that duck egg blue colour on the units
Will mate you can adjust the draw fronts on the side of the draw box 👍🏼 there should be some screw heads that’ll move the draw fronts side to side and up and down.
That kitchen looks brand new!
Keep the two chunks of wood you cut out for the sink in the stove. You can use them for cutting boards. Or I’ve always heard those kind of sinks. The glass breaks so you could rig up that chunk and cover your sink and or stove to keep things from falling on them in transit. I don’t know that I would mess around with the finish on the wood. It’s already been done to be kitchen safe and fireproof. I’d work around the color.
Always think before you screw. Will throwing life lessons at us. 😂🤣. Great video. Van looking great 👍🏻
you can install cam locks on the drawers to stop them from flying away while driving; you may have to drill on each drawer and mount some brackets inside sideways!
The baby locks you can get for drawers and cupboards are cheap, easy to fit and designed to stop the drawers from flying open.....
I think that might me my favourite video for months. Thanks Will. Looking forward to the first fajita demo
Have you thought about hook and eye closures? Run them down the side next to the drivers seat so they are out of site lines.
Also are you thinking about balancing the weight of the van? Perhaps some storage on the other side? Something about seat high?
You are having a chair, use some of the kitchen to build your chair giving a cupboard or couple of draws for more storage?
For your fold out shelf, use an angled leg and a small stop for it to sit on (the leg would be at a 45 degree angle)
Swap the base units over so the sink can drain straight into the waste tank. You're going to use up the space for the top 2 drawers with pipework and have to get it over to the other unit. Two 90 degree turns might leave you with a horizontal waste pipe from sink to waste tank.
I love how real this is, the removal of that kitchen was utter chaos!
I bought an entire Howdens kitchen + appliances on eBay for £500 ......it originally cost over 8K....some mad bargains to be had if you're happy with pre-owned 👍
Neil and emmas vlog on fitting locking catches might help ,also maybe fitting some angle brackets under hob might help keep it in place when you apply sealant to hold it in place ,you have done a superb job so far well impressed with your under unit drawer when you fit fridge you wont notice the drawer alignment so much but drawer fronts can be adjusted slightly could put a false front on drawer then attach draw fronts to that but it would bring them forward the width of the false draw front ,keep up the good work its really coming together now you should be proud of what you have achieved
You know what Will, your bloody good at what you do. Loving the videos , use magnets for your draws. Thank you xxx🚐🤟🏼✌️
Push your draw unit up straight the draws will line up. You can also add kiddy locks to stop them coming open but not sure you would get in them on your own haha 😆
Personally, I would build a worktop extension at the end of the kitchen unit instead of a chair.
And have a seat on the opposite side. If you ever need seating for a second person you can always carry a collapsible chair in the storage area. If you are planning on travelling alone, the extra cooking and storage space would be better than an extra seat that will only be used rarely?
You can adjust the drawers on the inside of them with a screwdriver to get even clearances! 🤙
I'm happy that you found a great deal for cabinets.
NEODYMIUM magnets will stop the draws. Buy them on E bay. Get whatever size and thickness you want on there. loads of options.
Sink them into draw back face and side panel. Gorilla glue them in. Job done.
If you do magnet to magnet they are hellishly strong mate. Or less with mag to metal baseplate.
Remember when draw is full of things (weight) that will push it out even easier still round corners. I did magnet to magnet on heavier draws.
When the video started I thought oh no, because household kit hen cabinets generally don't make the best use of space. However these ones weren't too bad anyway and then adding that extra draw in was a great idea hats off to you, great job.
Will! Amazing progress, sir! You should feel like $1 million pounds, sir. Stay healthy and happy! Cheers
Hey Will, Mabey change the handles to one with a hole in it. Drill a hole in the work surface and drop a rod down the hole threw the handles. Just an idea. Keep up your amazing motivation brother! Van looks incredible!
When u cut out the sink and hob, keep those pieces of wood or at least one, so you can make a chopping board
I'd use some of the blue doors to panel the front of the bed area in and some of the smaller spare doors for high level cupboards. To stop the drawers flying out screw some big round neodynium magnets to the back faces of the drawers and some more to the inside of the back of the drawer unit (you might need to space it out a bit so the magnets touch when the drawers are closed). Or you can get plastic spring clips to do the same job from caravan accessory places.
Nice work on the bottom drawer, looks neat and tidy buddy, great stuff and amazing how this will make a difference to your cooking world. Dem fajitas are gonna be flying about now.
Looks great Will, must feel good to see so much progress being made!!
Fantastic job will ! Really proud of you ! Onwards and upwards!
Good adaptation will its coming together, to stop the draws coming out when driving there are lots of ways magnets, straps. But you could use pegs from behind the drivers seat that push into drilled holes through the cabinet into the draw then make a dowel peg that slides in locking the draws. You will lose the top draw to the sink and plumbing, look forward to your next video. Stay safe.
Love it Will! Look forwards to seeing the final product!
I’m so proud of you Will. You’re doing a great job 😍
Extend your kitchen counter right up to the bed. Reconfigure the pull out table. Counter top space and underneath storage is far more important!
Yes! One person can sit on the side. The other person can sit at the end.
@@oldtimerlee8820 Exactly what I was thinking 👍
Great idea!
You could even set up like a breakfast bar & sit up to that if/when you can’t be arsed getting the table out!
Solid suggestion, deffo have a think about it will!
Nice to see a motivated Will! You’re smashing it mate xoxo
It looks like well constructed kitchen units. For 100£ you made a great deal.
You must be excited it’s looking really nice! Can’t wait to see it at the overland show this year!
It's really coming together now. I love the fact you're an amateur showing warts and all. I have no experience building a van. But if it were me then I'd prepare plumbing for the underslung water tanks before progressing too far, even if you only add then in the future. If you don't prepare for it then you'll never get around to doing it because of the effort to take everything out to install them in the future. Also don't forget you'll need plumbing underneat the sink and the tap will need to go to the side of the sink if you have that lid opening to the back.
Not sure about stopping the drawers openiing. But it would be quite simple to make a simple wooden catch screwed into the middle pillar and can rotate to hod each drawer in place.
Maybe silicone for the hobs instead of glue? Towards the back of the worktop under the windows you should put something there you don't water going down the back, magnets to stop the drawers opening is all I can think of you can get stick on ones from Amazon so you don't have to drill, the vans coming along and looking good, you got a bargain there with those kitchen units.
Great to see things going smoothly for you. Looking forward to seeing the finished result.
Just a couple of comments, plinth drawers are usually inset to allow space for your toes, when standing at the sink or hob - if this doesn’t matter to you though, that’s fine. However, I would suggest a flush handle (like used on boats/ships - at floor level at least), to prevent you catching your toes on anything jutting out. Perhaps also, push catches could serve a dual purpose here? preventing drawers from sliding out and handles causing a trip hazard? You could also try baby, safety catches inside the drawers for the sliding out problem (the magnets you mentioned, may not be strong enough, depending on camber and velocity😄).
All is coming together nicely. Kudos to the kitchen owner getting paid to get the old kitchen taken out and away too!)
At 21:57 I would have had a flip up kitchen top counter a foot in width to give you more work room. When you're done cooking that 1 foot board could just swivel downwards 90 degrees so that your seat is still available.
Good to see your back on track great video will keep them going
Good job Will,look forward to seeing the next kitchen/van build video. 😃👍
Love the way you use safety specs to protect the top of your head. 😀
Well done will one of the best honest van lifers out there atm.
You’re on form Will. Very impressed with your kitchen 👍👍👍
Fantastic Will 👍. Love how excited you are 🙂
Will try a bungy cord round your draw knobs with the end clipped onto a hook at the top to secure all the draws closed
Loved this video Will, the music on the montages was a nice touch!
Looking good! Maybe use a substantial bead of silicone to fix the hob in place? I doubt glue would do it. Silicone will grip it in place and remain pliable while in the van. Shouldn’t be an issue with heat as the glass shouldn’t get that hot.
Great find , and it's going to look great 👍 well-done X
Great progress mate! Such a bargain too. What about making the box bench seat that's going between the kitchen and bed removable? Then you can pick it up and pop it outside when you can't be assed getting your chair out or if there are people round a campfire as a little side table for your beer. Chapter by Chapter made one recently that was a long bench seat that they love!
Cracking find on them kitchen units. The kitchen is going to look great when it's finished 😁
Suggestion(s): A light duty cover to go over the sink and hob, so that when not in use as what they are then they can still be used for other things like larger food prep or other projects. This used to be fairly common in homes. I'm not sure where you would store it when in use, possibly fold up or possibly it could be stored above you or even somehow under the mattress. Something metal to cover the burners that folds up when they are in use might be nice to further prevent catching window curtains/coverings up. It could also be removable if you want to take it off.
Personally, I probably would have put the sink over the cabinet without the drawers as it would be easier to install a grey water catch that way. I would probably opt for a simple 5 gal water tap system as well, once that has a pump so the water jug could be on the floor. Really, that open cabinet could probably house both the grey water catch and the fresh water jug for such a system.
As far as the drawers sliding open, there are different slides you can use that require you to lift the drawer up a tiny bit before they will slide open. Somewhat common, or once was, for RVs.
When doing all of this, don't forget about balancing the weight on the left and right side of the van.
Your doing an amazing job will love watching you channel
Welcome Will, bet you’re well chuffed with your progress. 👌👌
"always think before you screw". Words to live by haha.
You could glue magnets to the drawers to prevent them opening when driving.
We think your joinery skills are pretty good Will 🙂
Van is really coming along, great to see you excited for the build again. Look forward to more of the kitchen build.
Hiya Will. Don't want to put a downer on it because what you've done is great but you have to make room to get your waste from the sink. I can only assume you might lose two drawers in the process. But I suggest you send your waste pipe right into the next unit. Good luck with it all.
Your a legend Will, so proud of you for doing all that work by yourself, even with the lady friend watching over you. Well done. Neil n Emma @ urbanvanlife taught you well xx
Love the gaffa tape on the Berghaus!
What a beautiful colour kitchen.. I’d love that for my horsebox .. it compliments so well.. you done a fab job!
You always get an A+ for entertainment. Give yourself another A+ for effort and accomplishing that feat! As you see it is not so easily done but you always push on.
I would have put the hob on the left and the sink on the right, as you have it at the moment, when washing up, you will have to cross the hob to get to what would be the draining board area. Another problem is where to put the water pipe, waste pipe and tap. You might have to loose 2 drawers to find room, where as the gas hob only needs a single thin pipe.
Take the lodge off of the sink? Cut a pice of worktop to sit on the ledge in the sink. Then tou have extra worktop and a chopping board (underside) when not in the sink
Great video. Love the kitchen. Those colors are beautiful so sad you want them changed. Well done Will. It's really looking like a home. Can't wait for the next video. 💕
Great work will, loved the repurposing of the kitchen. Keep up the good work from Australia 🇦🇺
Hey Will, I’m a new subscriber and loving your videos! You are doing a great job, you are an inspiration. Can’t wait for the next instalment and ultimately the finished job.
you got a good deal there, and you all happy about it as well! its coming along now and keep at it! your doing great
Ur skills have improved a lot. Good to see t@. Keep it up 👍
I agree about the flexible silicone around the sink and hob. It will keep everything water proof and easy to keep clean xx
oh and see if you can coat the worktop with heat resistant as well as waterproof. I cooked for 7 guests in a smaller galley so you'll soon be knocking out some cracking dishes!
You should run a couple of screws between the drawer unit and the other one just make sure you dont use screws that are too long. that will give you more sturdiness.
to stop the drawers flying out screw a hook into the worktop then run string or bungee cord down and around all the drawer knobs and back up to the top that should do it
Nice work Will, your getting there and with every job you do, you learn a bit more. Keep it up your be finished in no time.
Brilliant….looks good quality….great colour too….
