Incredible. Plumbing, electrical, 3d printing, carpentry, sewing, videography. An incredible showcase of all your skills!
@itz jay found one! He cannot hold 3 pillows together.. see 17:00
@itz jay bodybuild to become Mr olympia?
i forgot videography was part of this, but you’re right, he might as well do all his own editing too at this rate
Agree just fantastic
Wow. Just wow. Not only can you carry out an AMAZING van build but the video production quality was incredibly well done. You are seriously so talented! 100/10 for this video!
Dude, is there anything you can't do. Amazing skill set and when you cranked up the sewing machine that was next level. Well done.
I loved every second of watching this project. I saw me in everything you did. Except that I bought a 100 yr old beach house with 27 rooms. It needed everything and I did everything, just as you did in a miniature version. Your detail work was amazing and your knowledge of everything impressed me the most. Men can do anything that we set our minds to, and you deserve 5* ... thanks for sharing . William
William has been playing with his dolls house again. Keep dreaming sunshine! 🤡
whoa pump the sexism brakes, william
@TheSoldout1 Pah!
Sounds amazing were looking to buy a beach house..let me know if you're selling.
Women can do it too!!
I hope this video lands you your dream job cause holy shit you're an asset. Can't imagine how proud you must've been when you finally put it all together.
ok the part that you need to make longer is the "after everything is done" part so we can see it all in its glory, with lots of pan shots, long shots, closeups, etc. Truly amazing production. You are a TRUE engineer, who can visualize it, design it, AND create it. The sliding bench-storage-cum-bed is a mindblower--it's like a Murphy bed and a trundle bed had a baby! Truly amazing. VERY well done! 👍👍👍
Agreed. I would love to see more of the finished product. I want to see it lived in! So beautiful!
Let's stop for a moment to appreciate all the good work, excellent engineering and how talented you are. Congrats man!
Bravissimo!!!
@Ragetist Agree. There should be an operating licence to be allowed to write a comment. Negative comments are seldom needed. And insults never.
Yes indeed from the carpentry to the sewing and electrical wiring. How does one person have so much talent?
I can stop for ages to appreciate that.
One of the most beautiful camper van start to finish videos I've ever seen. Thank you for posting this.
This man should win the Nobel Prize of Superior Craftsmanship. My admiration and full respect for such a neat work.
First time ever watching one of these videos all the way through (I usually skip until the end to see final results) but I was mesmerized! Not just the skill, but attention to detail and clean workmanship. When he started up the sewing machine I almost fell off my chair...I want to marry this man!! Something so hot about a person being able to create things with their hands and brains!! Fabulous job!!
Excellent craftsmanship! And the result speaks for itself. I don't usually watch these kind of build videos, because I tend to find them boring after the first few minutes, but I watched this one all the way through without getting bored once! I'm sure you're going to have loads of fun with that van. 👍🏽😉
How do you have a check mark with only 79 subs
This is honestly one of the most amazing things I’ve watched someone do. Bravo 👏🏿
Your filming/editing style is incredibly unique. I'm currently filming and posting a van conversion series, so I know how long it takes to set up all these shots and edit through them. I appreciate your dedication to what you create. Brilliant. And a joy to watch!!

I was deeply mesmerised from start to finish. From start to finish I was deeply moved especially the part where you were sewing. Felt like jack of all trades, master of all. So beautifully done. Thank you for sharing. I would kindly wish a bathroom was added. Even if it isn't a full standing one, at least an area that can be converted into one when needed. Overall, your work was neat, detailed, straightforward and perfect ❤
Incredible, inspiring aesthetic and craftsmanship. Great videography. And detailed chapters are always appreciated!
amazing! the fact that you made it so simple to build is so inspirational and motivating. keep creating. 💪👍
One of the best van videos, by far! Craftmanship all the way!
Incredible work. Thumbs up for this man ❤
The level of talent you have in such a variety of fields is truly impressive
@Y You jack of all trades is a master of none, but better than a master of one :p
Hey there Friend, how are you doing today? Must be some difficult time out there. Well It isn’t my will to interfere into your private businesses, So I would love to ask do you believe in investment?
Oh my god,this so talented guy.
@AdventureVenture .
Incredible how diverse your skill sets are for this build. Great job man
What an amazing job, your talent in everything from the carpentry, plumbing, electrical and even the bloody sewing 🤯 fantastic effort 👏
Outstanding work. Obviously skilled in a variety of things required for the build. A lot of respect for your talents.
Actually i didnt want the video to finish the filming and music is so soothing kind of relaxing and exciting in the same time ,you are talented in every way 💚
Exellent craftsmanship and a pleasure to watch, thanx for all the effort to filming the whole build and making this informative time lapse.
Is there anything this man can’t do? Absolutely phenomenal skills
Cooking
@Senor Swift what?
i think being your husband is the only thing he can't do
Even the video editing skills are amazing... let alone the actual skill set needed for the conversion
Am asking myself same question
Great video. Well put together, and the van looks awesome.
Absolute masterpiece. Incredible work, from design to implementation, truly beautiful. Liked and subscribed and happy to share!
Very professional everything..well done with the van like the rest of the projects you do.. Thanks for the content.
Your videos are beyond satisfying! So amazing!
I like your re-use and finish of hard woods. Lots of creative inventiveness too. Nice work sir 🙂
This gentleman here is what I envisioned a real man looks like when I was a kid: hardworking, intelligent, smart, attentive to detail, strong, silent in his words, loud in his actions. It felt like a privilege to watch this video for free. Thank you and congrats for your work!
@ophello we all know what he meant. So it did make sense. Your comment is the thing that makes no sense..
@ophello Hm, okay, thank you! Edited.
It’s “how he looks” or “what he looks like.” It’s grammatically wrong to say “how he looks like.” It makes no sense.
looks really nice, love the diagonal led lighting and your 3d printed locks
Fantástico!!! Parabéns.
This is absolutely amazing. Not sure I could do all of this myself but I’d love to try. Still in the process of looking for a van.

Man, well done! Is there anything you can't do? Beautiful craftsmanship.
I've seen hundreds of van conversion videos, but what you've done here is absolutely the most professional build.
Absolutely admire your craftsmanship! Inspirational ❤👊🏼💪🏽
One of the most relaxing and informative videos I've ever seen. And I didn't even fall asleep half way through! Beautiful craftsmanship!👍👏👏👏
This is so satisfying to watch thank you. You’re amazing bro 👏
Love your detailed work! Great accomplishment, great video! Love it!

Epic build! Have the 3d-printed latches proven to work well long-term? Don't loosen while driving, etc?
An incredible array of professional handyman skills on show. Beautifully done. When the sewing machine came out I shouldn't have been surprised. An exceptionally capable guy: the design, planning, execution, precision. Well done! Subscribed.
Exactly my thoughts
Un trabajo increíble, felicidades. Buen vídeo 👌
The whole creation of this is simply stunning🤩😍. I am blown away!
Very amazing! Great work! 👍
Me ha fascina la destreza y orden con que ha realizado los cambios en una camioneta. Muchas felicidades y gracias por crear estos vídeos.
Innovative, very skilled build, and the video blog isn't too bad either!
This guy is a genius! Honestly I run a caravan repair shop / camper van conversion company and what he has just done in this video is nothing short of amazing from cabinetry to electrical work and everything else if you ever want a job I’ll hire you on the spot, also those cabinet latches are a awesome idea 💡 Great work
@Sleepy he got 15 mill views on a video, i think he is fine mate
Hey there Friend, how are you doing today? Must be some difficult time out there. Well It isn’t my will to interfere into your private businesses, So I would love to ask do you believe in investment?
@emrespalace how do you know that he runs his own business, what if he's just good at everything but not being able to run a business. Wheres the evidence
I realise it's a token of respect but the guy clearly runs his own business and so all these replies defending op are still making no sense🤣
I was impressed with the whole build, but the latches got me the most. I'll remember those.
I’d love to know now that you have built such an amazing van, what would you have done differently if you were to build it again?
Absolutely Fantastic I have no word to express my feelings regarding your work I really really appreciate and admired your talent Brother! Master Class ♥
You make this look so easy!!! The detail and care. Your Calming energy is real. Bravo.
Amazing job, hombre 👍🏻 ai consider myself "handy" but the level of design and execution is impressive. Top job!
It's great to watch a multi-skilled craftsman. I'm looking forward to watching the full videos. 👍
Mad respect to all the work that goes in this video.
Yeah so sarisfiying and cqling to watch
Loads of brillant ideas implemented easy. Very well done, mate. Thx for sharing with us.
Amazing video and amazing work. I wish I knew how to do half what you did!
Paradní prácička 👌👍
You did such a great job!
Awesome 🙏... The sound of everything was so beautiful 👍 Brilliant job 👍
Multi-talented, amazing craftsmanship & true love & dedication to detail-looks amazing! Congrats!
All he'd need now is to have some witch decide they don't like it and want to scrap the whole thing!🤬

Awesome work and very informative thank you ☺️
It's amazing, you made it well and I really like the concept you worked on.👍

This is honestly mind blowing. You’re talent in the fabrication, recording and editing of this are insane
@Growlus notneeded lmao see my comment above funny af
@BELIEVE in JESUS Chapter 20 vs 22 For man shall hath shelter and be in Sanctuary.....
@BELIEVE in JESUS Mate it's easy to quote scritpure verses while sitting at your keyboard and stay anonymous, but when your doing this and ignoring giving basic help to people in the community, as a chrch gets bigger the more selfish they become.
Repent to Jesus Christ “For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”” 1 Peter 3:12 NIV K
...is insane.
Very therapeutic to watch from my bed with covid! Thank you. Lots of hard work in that, not just to think through and do the build but to film and edit the whole thing. Weeks of editing work!
cant say a word man! this is absolutely brilliant work! stunning! clean and neat!! perfect!!
You guys have done such a nice job. You are very hardworking and multi skills intelligent. I admire your work and efforts.
Incredible! Skills showed integrity 👏🏽. Congratulations job well done!
*You got some serious skills, from the ground up, electrical, plumbing, sewing, engineering, finishing, lighing......I wouldnt doubt it if you are a mechanic also.......AWESOME WORK, AWESOME JOB!!!*
One of the most beautiful van conversions I have ever seen. The extendable bed is amazing 😳
Facts. I’ve been binging conversions for the past couple days now. This looks like a passion project. So Well Done. The level of detail he went to as well was so satisfying to see. Even started sewing some covers. The video was so well edited as well. My guy did all this and didn’t have to say a word.
It was good to watch how you work, i enjoyed every minutes. I hope this year i can build my version, you gave me good ideas! Enjoy your camper! 🙂
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone with so much excellence, intentionality, and precision
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️SOOOOO INSPIRING 🙏🙏 My soulmate passed away three weeks ago after falling off a very high cliff. It was always our dream to build our own camper van. I am going ahead with it. ❤️ And will take him with me in spirit everywhere I go and on every piece I build ❤️🙏 This has been so so so inspiring, I cannot thank you enough ❤️
This guy. Just keeps going and going with skill after skill. Absolutely fabulous. And amazing craftspersonship
Man that is a lot of work just to video every step in a professional way. Great video!
Without a doubt, the most well executed and well thought out van conversion I have seen, and I have seen many! your work was flawless in every aspect, really amazing to see someone be so adept at their craft. Inspired!
Amazing... everything is perfectly done love it ❤️😁

Excellent Job. Thanks for sharing your talents and skills 👍
Parabéns colega,ficou linda👏🗿
This is nice, everything looks like it was planned with precision and carefully crafted, and the end result is something extremely clean and organized!
Whoever gets this guy for a handyman would've hit the jackpot. He can do everything!
GO TRUMP
Awesome!! Great ideas for us beginners, thanks!! 👍
Beautifully done. Perfect.
This has probably got to be one of the most relaxed videos I've ever watched, loved the music 👍
Didn't only subscribe, I dropped this vid onto my Bookmark Bar. Very well done filming, editing and carpentry. Thanks! As I am nearing my retirement I have been thinking of a conversion camper van. This was so exciting to see and to feel my inspiration charge-up.
Your really talented and such a craftsman!! Loved what you put together. 💕🇺🇸🙏
This man's skills are worth their weight in gold. I could watch him forever, he makes it look so easy. Thanks! 🤩👍
Excellent skills, buddy !!! Awesome. Very well made. Everything right, fit and nice. Congrats.

Hats off to you young man! What all around skills!!
This guys is talent house! He literally managed everything that would normally require a big team with many skilled people! Simply amazing and pleasing to watch.
Repent to Jesus Christ “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 7:12 NIV J
Building something like this requires months of planning, money, and skills in different areas. If you don't have the skills, you can learn them. You ask the experts. Usually, money is not the main problem. You can save up for a van like this and if you do most of the work yourself then it won't cost you much in the end. The problem is time. It takes a lot of time to build. If you have a full-time job then you can only spend maybe 10 - 15 hours a week on building this thing, and it would take you around 12- 18 months to finish the build.
First would just want to say You are a master craftsman - from carpentry, electrical, plumbing and even sewing! 2nd, I like the way you edited the video, enjoyable to watch the creativity and the fancy tools. Thank you for sharing this with us.
you work like someone who comes from austria. i have seen many van conversions on youtube but you really show quality. it's not the materials or anything i mean but just how you work them. the scene with the playing cards is genius^^ nice work man
