 Hello and welcome to another video something a little bit different on this one way up there as he jams his finger Twice and has to go to A&E and there is no video. I'm finally getting round to doing me van up put windows in Two windows either side took bulkhead out and that's it So it's just a blank canvas and we're gonna start today with doing the soundproofing Insulation and all them fun jobs So stay tuned. We'll be doing some of the cutting of the wood and prepping of the materials for the van In there, so we'll have a look at that in a bit, but today the mission is Just to get the sound deadening done and the insulation so we know where we're at We've taken all wood panels out keeping them to one side because we'll either use them again I'll use them as templates to make some out of some other Clover of the same thickness or maybe a bit thicker We've just unscrewed the floor. We're taking floor out now Watch your drill She's all Down to bare bones Ready for some sound deadening And insulating in these cavities Which we shall get on with now It's not whether it'll work or not. We're People might be following this people might be watching this and thinking I'm gonna follow them and do a good job on my camper van. So if we're just half ass in it There'll be a lot of people who've also accidentally half assed it and speaking of half assing it What a lot of people will tell you to do is use this sound deadening stuff all of it inside your van You don't need to do that. Especially if you can't get old of it in time All you need to do is we've got two bits and we saw we're cutting them down into 100 mil 100 mil strips 100 mil strips That's all you need one on each panel and that'll just absorb The majority of the noise and if you especially if you've your vans relatively new then you don't have to worry about it too much So that's what we're doing now This is not my first rodeo Oh So these are self-predecent Rizzlers. No You would think it looked better like that like that, but I think that would annoy a lot of people in it Probably see deeper. Yeah, it knows me. Yeah, you do that. Yeah, go for it Looks better for me. I reckon that's it as you can see look Silent yeah screen well watch we've put a bit of deadening On panels and the next job is to use this. We've got this 10 mil Thermaliner Which is which is insulative and it'll also help deaden the sound as well. So we're gonna cut that out clout sealing And all the walls That's nice I've made it on purpose so you get a Just swear It's perfect good. You see how I've mitered that they're lads and lassies If you're ready Yep, that's as flush as it can be that in it right let's get them stuck on it's starting to get dark So it lights fading on us and it's just more at the same. We're just Measuring up and we're using this insulation and fitting it everywhere that the Metal has air on the other side basically so not on here, but on here And we'll fill all that but it's a you can see that you don't have much room to work with and then there's all these wires And it goes right back there. So you've got to Get them tucked in don't pull this off because once it sticks it is stuck. So you want to leave Leave a bit on to help you slide off and get in and then then remove that But it's a bit of a laborious painstaking Part of the build this so we're just gonna back home. So there we go It's a bit of a mess in here, but we've got the sound deadening on and insulation in there Right, we're back again today's plan We're gonna insulate the wheel arches fill all the camps. I've got on bill fill all the cavities with insulation and then we're gonna clad the floor which is a pain because All these raised bits are so close together and I want to get a Timber frame in there and then use like king span insulation in The gaps so there's a lot of thinking and a lot of cutting of wood So we're gonna do that get the faring got some 12 mil ply to go over top of that That'll be flawed on and I think I'm just gonna put some liner down on it get get some some wood looking liner and Whack that down on there Right, we're here in old York What's it called workshop old York workshop? It's in his embryo stages of a workshop We've only just come up with name, but this is Bill from old York workshop And he's gonna be able to ease the brains behind this and the looks is the brains So we're gonna get this wood that Bill's gonna tell you a little bit about So this is just basic say unless that you can get from any any builders merchants And we're gonna cut it into 25 mil lats to build up the floor to the right level so we can get the insulation in So there's not many I don't think that have proper insulation in the bottom of these caravans Yes, that's what we want and Bill's got all tools here Look you can see this what's this bill the table saw Bansaw Mortiser Mortiser Pillard real pillar drill Engineers leave engineers leave so we've got metal work going on in here We've got woodwork going in on in here We've got amazing motorbikes going on in here We've got a fire going on in here, and he's built all this suspended roof It's pretty impressive to be fair to be finished yet And so there's gonna be a lot more projects coming out of this place in the future And we'll leave a link to Bill's future YouTube channel It doesn't exist at the moment, but we're gonna work on it So if that's your thing if you like engineering woodwork, maybe a bit of bike tinkering, then I'll leave it downstairs. You can check it out Right, come on And what sort of PPE do you think you should wear for this bill? Bugger off A condom maybe? No, no PPE No, we have to We'll get you a crash helmet or something Crash helmet, earphones, condom Yeah, condom You might have to cut it down a bit Alright, because wearing gloves isn't gonna do you no favours here, because that's not gonna You know, you're gonna lose your finger in a glove or not, aren't you sir? Maybe some eye protection, maybe some ear protection Do it properly, do as we say, not as we do All you do is you bring your sword down a bit so it's just above the surface of the wood Then you've got minimum sword visible, so fingers are a little bit safe We do dust extractor as well, so I'll put that on next Yeah, we extract the dust, and Bill's done this for many, many, many years, he knows what he's doing I've never built a van before, though, so it could be a right mess He was away from the blade He was away from the blade There you go That's just the finished article then Yeah, and these will go on the base of the floor so that we can put our king span in between this And then put our 12mm ply on top Yeah Crack on That's good mate, that's good Can we get me pushing one a bit through? And then I'll cut all the shit out and just put mine on So easy I do know how to do all this, by the way I'll tell you everything he knows, but just for the sake of teaching you guys I'm gonna play the part of a guy who doesn't know Commence Okay, so first of all You put your fingers still there like that Yeah, you can do your finger nails quite easily We set this up for the bands that we need now at 25mm So that's dialed in here So there's a little window there, whether you can see it or not, you guys So we've got 25mm dialed in there, and that's locked off Don't have to worry about that anymore Look at the panel saw So we can do it on this one first Do you want to set it square? Yeah, or a panel saw It's amazing, it's amazing Because then you can just make stuff as you need it to be You can just custom make it That's the whole point of all your workshop Right, can I come? I've got some aluminium tape I'm just going off at bigger bits and bigger rows With the tape This also acts as a vapor barrier It looks a lot neater look It doesn't matter, it's going to be covered forever So while Bill Works on the frame For the floor We're going to use some of this stuff It's just from B&Q, it's loft installation And it's made out of recycled plastic bottles So he's not going to hold Moisture like wool would And we're going to just fill all these cavities with it Anywhere there's a cavity We're just Ramming this stuff in Being careful at wires And wires are going to go To the front of it Archer skies Inlaying our frame We've glued down Just with some adhesive And we're filling that with some 25mm king span Into the floor Make it super warm Super warm We've got all the timber in This has been cut down to size So that 25mm King span goes in It's flush And that'll give a good insulation Like I say we're going to go a 12mm ply That Bill's just cut out so it goes around The wheel arch He's going to go and use his jigsaw To cut that out, that'll slide in Part of two halves And we'll do this side Screw that to these And then that's it That's the base of the floor The insulation Sound deadening Done Use this aluminium foil tape And go over all these lats Just to protect it from moisture Filmmaker at year award So yeah, ply board Flushing In two bits Alright, we're back at it We're just going to mark out where we need to We might need a hammer Bill We're marking out for We're trimming the panels off So we get a nice flush finish With the batten underneath So when we finish it off with a piece of oak We've got a nice finish And then we're going to mark We've marked all the battens there So then we'll strike a line across them all Pre-drill it So we'll get a nice finish With the screws into the ply We'll countersink them And then it won't show through the liner Perfect Another little trick I'm going to get a knife out of the shop If you put a score line down there When you put the saw through it Because the saw blade is cutting upwards It won't splinter all this off Top tips There you go, top tips That's why we're here Our old York workshop 30mm screws They'll go through our Pre-sorted holes Into our frame And jobs are done I went round the loader Carpet and floor places And they often have End of rolls Bits that they've cut off or whatever And they'll be wrapped up in specific sizes And they'll be going cheap And I just Swappened to find Some of this stuff I was only going to be using the cheap stuff anyway Because we were on a budget Yeah, it was 80 quid Bagging in So we got him down to 60 quid for floor So that was a bargain So I recommend just going to Carpet showrooms and stuff And just getting bits that they've got All wrapped up in certain sizes You might get lucky But it's definitely worth a try The liner's all cut You can't see what this is Because we're losing our light But it's no nonsense Spray contact adhesive Looks like real wood mate So that's part one of the budget van build Finished We've done the sound deadening The insulation We've insulated the floor And we've come up with a design For a U shape In the back here With some fancy little extras And that'll all be getting built In the next episode So stay tuned If you're not subscribed already Don't forget to press the bell notification If you want to be notified of the next upload I'm coming down with some of it mate I'm tired And I'm cold Thanks for watching We'll see you soon Goodbye
