Ohhhh, this is *AWESOME* ... I was going to search through all the vids in your channel to find Lee's last van builds ... you saved me a lot of time and trouble!!! Thank you! :)
BTW, I heard about you from CheapRVliving.
tnx, saves me time having to figure it out myself, as i just happen to bumb into this one :) ... my live just got a tid bit more comfortable and easy ;)
You short guys have it so easy, being over 6'3" makes it alot more difficult to find a van to be able to convert that i can stand vertical in :(
@@TenmaFN Lee said he's 6'4"....which I appreciate being 6'5" it gives me some reference on his build
Do we get an update on the trailer build? Is it posted somewhere?
I can’t seem to find news beyond this.
“ Oh, I made that” Of COURSE he did! This guys AMAZING!
Sweet mother of God, PLEASE film a complete van build from start to finish with Lee building it using all his processes and show how he does it. This guy is a legend and I wish I had a van I could pay for him to build it. Best I've ever seen!
Listening to this man makes me realise that I didn't think through much of anything in my life.
This guy is a genius. His enthusiasm is obvious. Very inspiring.
I feel like I'm listening to a Master Jedi of van building.
The plethora of knowledge Guru.
Agree. Wish he had a channel
He is Master Jedi of van building
Yeah the build force is strong with him..
@@designdoctor247 he does...and the link should be added to all these videos
This man finds joy in service to others.No wonder he"s always smiling.
A man who is out to improve the lives of self and other. We're playing for the same team. ❤️
Jamie, thank you so much for the update on Lee,I have been wondering about him. Like the rest of your followers, I fell in love with this gentle genius and his wonderful, inovative ideas. Glad to see he is well and still fixing what he doesn't like.
I have watched 100s of videos on van conversions and without a doubt this man is the most inspirational I have seen. Amazing process he uses.
You can tell he's very proud of his cabinets, and rightfully so.
Lee has one of the best Van builds on CZcams and with every redesign it only gets better! Thank you Jamie for this video and thank you Lee for sharing your wisdom!
IT WOULD BE GOOD IF LEE COULD USE SOME OF HIS CREATIVITY IN MEDICAL ISSUES SUCH AS PROTHETICS,
HE COULD INVENT ALL KINDS
OF THINGS TO CURE DISEASES.
ALSO
"I defined my process and built the box to fit my process." Iterate, iterate, iterate...
How all of life should be lived! I love it!
going to make a sign to put in my van that says the above. if i look at it often, perhaps some of will rub off on me in my life.
This guy is such a genius. And more importantly, he has such a big heart!
His way of explaining and the principles of his build where great core ideas to build with. I really think he should have work shops where he teaches these ideas.
And I want to thank you on your videos. Great job of not interrupting your interviewees train of thought. Great job on really getting good shots of the subject.
Please, when he has his trailer, can you interview him again. It is clear as how emotional he got when talking about helping people he loves sharing his ideas. As we love hearing them.
Agree
Yes, please!
Totally agree
Lee is the textbook definition of "necessity is the mother of invention"
What a fantastic man, I could listen to him all day, I’d certainly love a few hours with him in a one to one chat, i think everyone could learn some life lessons from Lee not just van build lessons, one of the best van builds I’ve seen and I’ve watched hundreds of hours on here, a true gentleman. All the best for your future Lee 👍🏻👍🏻
Tell Lee thanks for the information. I like the way he covered up his pots and pans and cups with cloth. To keep out dust. This CV is a great idea.
How refreshing, no clickbait, no trying to sell a lie about van life. Great to see a fantastic build and the thought process behind it.
and a fantastic individual behind it all.
This is THE best van build I have ever seen.
Lee is the kind of man WHO LIVES HIS BLISSFUL BEST VAN-LIFE.
Lee is my favorite ... he really thinks things through ... I just love hearing him explain how he figures things out. Thanks
Me 2. Love his work
Agree.
"Focus on what makes you unhappy", lol!
I absolutely get mesmerized listening to him
My thoughts exactly - A born engineer.
A Blacksmiths mentality to location of tools: Everything needed is within arms reach or minimal steps of forge and anvil, in order to not waste a heat. This was an excellent, informative video. Thanks for sharing.
I remember back in home ec class I had a teacher that taught us that, such as in the kitchen you put cooking utensils and pot holders near the stove and baking supplies in a general location. It makes doing projects and just life so much more fun..........Lee is so efficient and organized, I love it !!!
One of the most awesome van builds I have ever seen. Meticulous attention to detail and utilization of space. Well done, Lee.
Am I the only one who wants Lee to help run our government?
President, Congress and Senate. Why pay all the other useless eaters. Win win for the taxpayer
I could here him saying "I don't want to have anything to do with that, but I can tell you some basic principles for a thriving government, then you're on your own!"
I’m gonna go right home and “noodle on it” LOL! This gentleman and his van are fantastic
the man has a beautiful heart. the tears he got at the end just knowing that even by giving a small gift of help to someone, that has made that persons life a little bit better. doing that also makes his life that much better. a truly giving person. thanks for sharing
My mom is a real OCD, and when she saw me watching this video, she was instantly obsessed at how Lee organized his electrical. She has not stopped pitched doing something similar on my own bus when I build it.
Lee is an EXTREMELY intelligent, logical, & gifted soul ..... And we THANK him & you Jamie, for ALL that is shared with the rest of us ......... So ENJOY these videos, and as always, We were taught to look at ALL ideas, when designing, & then building / fabricating to our individual NEEDS !!!!
This guy is the “ bob wells” of van build design! He even reminds me of bob with his demeanor and the way he speaks and explains things. This is probably the best, most thought out build I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a lot of them! Great video Jamie
@@karincorbin2355 Agreed. They each have their strengths. Bob does great interviews and finds interesting people and their creativity to inspire us for our own builds. Lee shows us how it can be a true work of art and functionality. Remarkable stuff. And Enigmatic here did a fine interview with Lee, letting Lee tell his story, thinking and processes and staying just the right amount in the background. I've not only liked and bookmarked this - I downloaded it to my computer to watch on some day I'm not connected somewhere.
@@Michaelw777.52 How do I download the video? I saved it, is that the same thing?
@@Seastorm-nh8cv no it is not the same thing. A download means you don’t have to be connected to the internet to watch. Saving is just saving the link to connect on the internet later.
Only have gratitude for all the help and kindness both of you give out of your hearts. I was so touched when Lee got choked up at the end at the thought of how real the help is for people. It’s truly life changing help.
Me too😢 lovely man.
OMG his kitchen storage is amazing!!
Lee is the Master of 'trial and error'.
_Genius_ would not be overstating his talent for convenience and detail.
My new fantasy...to have a van built-out by Lee ....bet I'm not the only one ....Lol. After watching this video, even my husband wants one and he hates leaving the house.....
Veronica beck If you liked this you should see the other video Jamie has on Lee and the van. It is amazing!
@@wherewomenwander2921 Lee's the man I would want to be if I wasn't a married housewife and a woman...Lol
@@44ronie lol
veronica beck 👍🏼
Would want to marry him if I wasn't happily married myself 💍😉
Love Lee. Wish we could see more of him. He is a great asset to this community, lifestyle.
There's absolutely no madness to Lee's methods! Organization and functionality = peace of mind.
Lee is the essential Vanner. His ideas about what motivates him and creates his personal peace are what this whole community is about.
He could certainly do consulting service to the top innovators in the RV industry, but he does the things that bring him joy. I salute guys like this!
Fantastic build, Lee! You're the 'Martha Stewart' of build outs!
Ouch, I'd like to see Martha figure out all of that 3 dimensional thinking. She's usually got large spaces to deal with.
Lee Blake is a van build genius. I'm glad you brought him to our attention. He's a real gem!
Yes, indeed. He is So informative and detailed
Lee's OCD makes him a wonderful designer! I love all of his great ideas, so thanks for sharing this. Really appreciate it.
Wow!! Love his way of thinking and he reminds me of my favorite teacher. He's so good at explaining things.
Mr. Blake is a true architect, so happy to see his redesign that does work better.
I could listen to Lee all day. So articulate and detailed in his explanations. Great video!
"Store it where you use it" that philosophy is great.
This guy is an utter design and build genius! The first time I saw his first video it blew me away and I watched it over and over again. This is awesome content, please keep it coming!
I'll do my best to keep it coming. Lee is an enigma himself.
Ah, noodling, that's the secret. Very slick !
Obviously an intellectual. Dig the way he thinks
I have watched the "Lee" videos countless times. I pick up little nuggets of inspiration each time I watch.
Now that's amazing. I thought I was organized but I will rethink my layout. Thank you. This is now my number one saved video.
And, WHAT A TREAT!
Love his presentation and thought process.
LEE BLAKE you’re amazing.
I have watched MANY van builds. This is by far the most impressive.
This is the work, of a Master ! He knows . . . what he's doin !
Inspiring! I have so much respect for how eloquently Lee explains his design motivation. Absolutely love the focus on efficiency :) Thank you!
A place for everything and everything in its place 👍
Lee...a man after my own heart...Educator, Builder, Innovator. Your design innovations is all of what I want in a van I have yet to purchase. You added if you weren't towing, you'd purchase a Promaster. I imagine you have done your research, so that's assisting me in the high top van I choose. Never thought Dodge was a contender...??? Better mileage is key, with being more spacious. Organization is very important to me. Everything must have its place, nicely structured, and user friendly. Lee nailed it!!! Impressive build. With your
guidance Lee, I could certainly build my van. Standard hinge, continuous hinge, yeah, I'm listening and learning...cup magnets, steel washers, yes, I'm getting it. What a dream machine you have created. "Store it where you use it". You are so in my head. Brilliant mind. Multipurpose storage. Drop down doors, enabling the doors to be used as a table when taking items out. Open bedding storage to allow bedding to breathe. You're making me do a "Hallelujah dance". This build is Brilliant! Thanks Lee, thank you Jamie. You both have made this build for me doable, even on my own. I enjoyed this video. And even though I am not a builder, I am a creator, and I am convinced I can do this. Safe travels. Namaste.
IKR! I feel in like years ago. Well thought out, tried & finished to perfection. In my book, he ROCKS!
I bought a para-transit van from butte county california for $504.99
Ford 2002 e-450
I'm just watching videos at this point. It seems that the Nissan NV is for- people over 6 feet- one person at a time for full time -going off road-towing-a dependable engine with a great transmission-14 mpg loaded. Ram Promaster is for Euro styling-159 inch big enouph for two-square size for closets-smooth ride-you have to pamper engine, don't build too heavy Ford Transit/Sprinter is for-A more feminine look-long RV size-good engines if maintained.
This man was such an inspiration to me years ago. It would be so nice to have an update on him today (9-28-23) and know he’s doing well. Lofty goals for us, but he gave us wonderful ideas to work from.
7:08 ok that dropdown door is about the only reason I would consider putting a door in a van at all. Very nice.
Oh man I enjoyed this man is so smart he thinks out side the boxs.
Thank you Mr. Blake, I would like to borrow your idea to organize my lifestyle. Please keep more of CZcams going,
I enjoyed seeing the changes and improvements in Lee's van. I've watched his previous videos multiple times and am repeatedly inspired. The explanations and insights are like a well-written essay with many body paragraphs linked together on a theme. Yes, I'm an English teacher, so I appreciate clarity and cohesion in thoughts processes.
What Lee calls structure integrity for storage, I call better organization. However, both things are being accomplished. One thing you will notice about his setup is how super organized he is. I am like that as well. He makes things neater and saves time because things have a place or (home). In many van tours you will see people open up cabinets or bins and it's like they have to go on a mini search mission to get what they need. They often waste space above or around in this type of arrangement. With him the space is subdivided making everything front and center at a glance. Some people find our need for structure strange but, it helps us in how we think or don't have to think. I guess it amounts to what works for you. I personally enjoy seeing how Lee manages the use of space and multi use is always another plus.
I LOVE this man, intelligence is so attractive!
Good to "visit" with Lee again. Glad he's doing well. Thanks, Jamie!
Lee is an amazing philosopher. I just want to sit and talk to him about the color of the night sky form a Nebula perspective and the ultimate flux capacitor for time travel - (Philadelphia Experiment). I'm sure Lee has a theory for everything that is real and non-Matrix. THanks, Jaime for catching us up from your previous interview with Lee. Another great video. Safe travels.
what a guy, boy does he spark my imagination I truly thank you for allowing lee to be so specific.
He's so organize it makes me happy
Its always a wonderful experience to see the wonders of the mind of Lee. Perfection at it’s best, no words other than if only.........you can finish the comment anyway you feel fit. 😉
A true Master! I LOVE his philosophy!! Thanks Jamie! Great haircut!!!
So eloquent, so smart, so knowledgeable, so charming and such stunning blue eyes! This man is just amazing. I wish him many years of happiness in his van.
This rig is the perfect example of... The wisdom of simplicity and The luxury of efficiency.
Lee I appreciate your ability to see what needs to be done.
I can not travel ,but I can see This philosophy and direction of thinking really really helping plan kitchens in particularly for people with mobility or other issues!!
Thank you both so very much. My mind is reeling now. God Bless Jamie and Lee.
I love his thought process of living in something, figuring out what you need and how you need it and then building it accordingly!
FINALLY someone showing being practical of storage dry goods so you don' get mice I never understood the stories I heard about getting "visitors" Hell I knew that long tome ago Just common sense DAaaaaa. Sealed containers = no mice ... Thank you for showing people this Love his build out and his thinking of what works for you
PERFECT van, perfect style for me, FANTASTIC !!!!!!! WOW.....I love this one, LEE is the man !!!!!!
I love the colors, the design, the consideration to "see things" as my eyes are compromised, it is GORGEOUS!!!! Thank you LEE
I've seen his other builds. I've taken copious notes! The man is a genius.
I think I prefer the outside shower. This is the nicest van build I've seen so far. This is what I would want.
Thanks for sharing this with us! I've watched Lee's videos no less than ten times. I certainly have ideas for my build in the next 5 years. He also reminds me of the mobile and electrical master version on Norm Abrams. Thanks again guys!!
Ingenious, imaginetive, caring and not bad to look at either. Blessings to you Lee. Thanks for the interview and tour Jaime. I really like "store it where you use it", champion ideas. xxXX Grambo
"you want to live that way , more power to you, I suffer with it." hahaha
yeah when I start building a van, Lee's philosophy will always be in my mind
Hello Lee....This is Elon with Space X, are you free this Tuesday?
Say smart I'm short. A delight to listen to this person.
I love Lee's home, it's perfect for a single person, I love that he didn't install a huge bed, I sleep on a single width bed myself at home, and without having all the wasted space to toss and turn I sleep straight thru the night on my side or back. I would never go back to anything larger. All his storage is so well thought out and also looks great. Love the fold down cabinets as well, makes so much sense Lee is a true gentleman . Love his style.
This man is a treasure full of knowledge and should be highly respected and listened to. He's the only one I'll listen to for a van build. Even if you can't afford it all, you can use some of the ideas and go step by step. He needs to make videos and have books because his intelligence is a valuable resource. Thank you Lee.
Lee, it's always a pleasure. I love the teflon tape idea. Gives me an solution to a problem of mine. I love those plastic containers also. I've used them for a small toilet paper roll to when I used to setup a remote outhouse to keep the "visitors" from tearing it up :) THANKS see you on down the road
I've been trying to find these containers! Got a link?
@@dashathesnyder these are just empty nut /food containers. you get the labels off putting hot water in the container letting it sit for a while and the labels pull right off
Lee’s van build is incredible!! So appreciate his thought process. By far the best build interview that Jamie has done. Top five builds that I’ve seen on CZcams.
There is nothing so amazing as being able to watch genius at work. This is what Lee gives to us.
Lee seems a lot more relaxed and amiable now. He has found his community and it sounds like he is valued and appreciated.
As a person who did modular manufacturing, this video really resonated with me. Thank you. ❤
Determine the process first then the solution ❤
Store it where you use it.
Jamie and Lee your the best....great big hearts that touch people's lives for the better! You so totally Rock it! Bless ya both many times over!
My absolute favorite video on building/updating and generally living the van life.
What a lovely, incredible man that we can all learn from. God bless Lee x
Jamie, I must say, you look "fine" standing there in that nice fitting blue t-shirt! & You are so good to people & causes. It is truly a wonderful life you live! Lee is a wonderful man & so willing to share his knowledge. LOL Judie
Thanks, Judie! Yeah, Lee is always a treat to have around!
Wonderful. Thanks for sharing. There is a great need for more people like this. I love how modern and stream-lined his van is!
The professor of van building. This was the best and I'm listening and taking note on everything he's saying. I would pay him to build some things for me. Thank you both.
I love Lee's philosophy of building for his comfort. Learn something new with every Lee video
I haven't seen anything on your channel about Lee and he doesn't have any videos posted that I can find. Is he still in van life?
What a wonderful man with sensible ideas, thank you!
This wise man lives for creating total efficiency in his home space, and sharing that with people we can learn a lot from him! Thanks so much Lee for caring and sharing your knowledge with us! 👍🏻😀
