2022 Van Builder's Workshop Tour | Moving out of the Storage Unit
In this video, I explain where I've been performing my builds for the last year and I upgrade to a new workshop space that is attached to my new apartment. After using an average storage unit as a workshop for the last year, I've really learned to appreciate the little things like insulated walls, heat, electricity, and lighting. Follow along as I show you the path that lead to my new workshop space and show the full space in its entirety.

I'm an 80 yr old woman who doesn't know how to build anything, but I'm hooked on your channel I'm living vicariously through you, and others. I adore your channel and your work ethic. Best wishes on your continuing journey. I'll be watching.
I love it I’m 70 but I due have building skills started with my dad always doing something in our house I’ve seen it all then my husband was general contractor on top of construction we worked on cars as well it excites me that you enjoy Duels channel me too happy watching
@@lauratibbles6598 Lucky you! My brother built me some cabinetry a few years ago. I really wanted to use his nail gun during the project, but he wouldn't let me. 😿. Oh well. Thanks for sharing.
I'm hooked as well! Good stuff....
@@judyeuller7602 Well you know what you gotta do … …
I'm a senior citizen also and I love watching these videos! Awesome!
Don't give away your first drill. Put it in a shadow box that you can make and hang it on your wall in the garage. You can put a label on it like: " Where it all began." That drill is part of your history!!
Good idea!!!
What a Onederful suggestion! ✨️💖✨️
I'm 99 years old man and I'm probably about to go soon. I'm so glad with the time I have left I have I am able to watch your amazing channel. All I can do is type DualEx with my weak fingers and I patiently wait for new videos while I watch all your old videos.
Praying for your health so you can continue to watch this gifted young man 🥰
I'm so glad that I've had the privilege of watching you and your business grow. Congratulations on the well deserved upgrade, and I wish nothing but good things for your future. Maybe someday I'll be able to hit you up to build out my van! 😜
Same here!
Same here.
My first purchase after I finish my bus build, is to order a custom wooden cutting board. I am about 6 months from that. But I have purchased his ebook, which has proven to be invaluable!
Bravo! I’m a 52 year old female that can’t build a thing. I love your videos! You are brilliant. Keep doing what you do. I adore your videos.
If you haven’t subscribed then your not about that life . The 🐐 and he’s not even old yet imagine his skills 10 years from now incredible.
I'm happy to see that you have a large senior community loving your videos. I'm a 70 yr. old female from Indiana. Love your woodworking skills! And your music! Maybe one day you can start a class.
Yes!👏🏼 Congrats to my favorite van life KZheadr! Been following you since day one and what a success story! I'm a 55 yr old woman and never had children of my own but every time I watch one of your videos I feel like such a proud mama... LOL! Seriously, what a pleasure it has been watching your growth. I've even turned a few family members on to your channel. Your vids put a big smile on my face every time. Keep pushing & stay blessed... you deserve it all!
You should frame that drill and mount it on the wall of your shop, kinda like a store framing its first dollar.
I would suggest you create a frame wall box with your first drill in it so you can remember how you got started!!
Wow, that’s a good idea
I’m sure I’m echoing all the sentiments left by others, but it’s been an honor to see your progression and all the talent and skills you have acquired over the years. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and taking us on this journey with you. Your garage shop layout is AMAZING! Much like your van designs it’s a great utilization of space and designed for multi purpose use. Having all the work stations on wheels is such a genius move and your military background really shines through in your impeccable organization. Congratulations on your new place, you’ve earned it! Looking forward to more content.
In Afghanistan I would hide one earbud under all my cold weather gear because we weren't aloud to listen to music. My playlist was pretty well a mix of everything and Seether would play every time I went through this one area of my route so still to this day when I hear Seether I think of that location. There's your random comment. Keep up the good work.
I'm turning my garage into a welding workshop, I've gained inspiration from ppl like you, getting my creative flow back.
Watching you grow as a creator and professional has been so inspiring! You've given me confidence to tackle tools and renovations myself. I'm a 61-year old getting ready to move into my own RV full time and im inspired to make my own RV improvements. Thanks for all your videos 😎
I built out and live in my van. Going on two years. You were living the American dream. You have a plan and you work it to the bone! Your skills are very polished. Great videos and keep up the great work.
Have you always been so organized? That garage is a 'how to' for every DIYer.
I'm always impressed by this young mans work ethic. Good luck with the new shop....you'll outgrow it in 6 months, which is a good thing!! Much success with the Gutted TV show.
I love how you shed colors and invite new ones. You reminded me that change is everlasting and necessary for evolution. From one stranger to another, I’m proud of your accomplishments. Thank you for inspiring me with your progress.
A workshop is such a gamechanger. I will not build another van without one!
Please don’t give your “First Drill” away! That’s a huge part of who you are and where you have come from in your journey. It’s an old friend. Build a show case for it so when your older or retired there he will be. Your buddy whose been there from the beginning. Your talent and skill is remarkable and I love watching your builds. Blessings to you in 2023!
Congratulations! You not only do great work, you have a good business head too. Best wishes for continued success.
“Most of the time is spent just thinking not actually building.” Same 😅
I'm so glad you are a successful builder, have your own place and shop. I enjoy watching your videos because of your extreme skills.
I have been following you for sometime now, because everything you do is so fascinating, and makes me so proud of what you have accomplished, I feel like I had a little part in your journey because you are on My KZhead prayer list. I Love to watch smart people do there thing with grace and a whole lot of knowledge. Continue to be safe and careful love. God Bless🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾💕💕💕👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
Aye yo (in my Midwest accent, OPE)... this made me emotional because I've been enjoying your content videos for a while and literally witnessing the skill growth, but have also been motivated to continue my own carpentry journey. Thank you for showing us this process. You played a part in helping me become confident enough to open a web shop that will feature new build furniture this coming spring 2022(sold out of all the other pieces), since I was able to save up and get a work space with that 0 commute work time.
I found your channel after I started getting interested in van life and all of these dope vehicle builds. I love your channel man. Keep it up.
Love how you've got everything so organized...but especially your rolling workshop-to-go! I'm a 65 year old DIY-er, with my own set of tools, etc. But not as many tools or as much workspace as I've wanted! You are talented and I'm impressed with your continuing to learn and grow! I hope you can open the shop you want soon. God bless!!
So proud of this young man…. May God continue to bless all of your endeavors. ♥️
You should mount it on the wall being one the first tools that helped you get your start. It sure deserves being displayed because you are an amazing craftsman and that tool I’m sure, did more than it’s share of work.
I am so impressed with your determination and focus young man.... letting nothing stop you!!!! Doing what you needed to do to get to your goals....I can't wait to see you at the top where your destined to be
Watching you leave the storage unit, was like watching the final episode of your favorite sitcom from the 90s. Family matters Fresh prince Martin.
You are insanely talented!! A lot of people (especially younger) can’t do this type of work. What a great set of skills to have.
Kerosene heaters cause respiratory issues. Check out Propane heaters that attach to the top of a propane tank. You can get a single or double. A single is really warm. I'm proud of you. I've been watching your videos for awhile now. Take Care.
Been watching you for the past 2 years! You’ve been inspiring me to go out and build my own living space in a van.
You got some mad skills man. I'm a woodworker. I build custom stuff. Kinda whatever people see they want I build and put my twist on it. Keep up the great work.
You've done outstanding work in 'make do' spaces. It's going to be wonderful watching what you can do in a more designated space.
His Skills and craftsmenship is awesome,Love watching him build
Great workspace! I can’t wait to see what comes next with your wonderful talent. 👏
Congrats man! You deserve this work space. Finally got a shop myself and productivity went up majorly. Can’t wait to see what type of wizardry you get into with your next build. Cheers! Edit: do an Astro/Safari van? Would love to see it
This a good example of the human nature, We are adapted to just about any condition,,greetings from California.
Super late to this video. sorry for bumping this video in your inbox when it's old but I had to say this though. It is amazing watching people like you that take something bad, and turn it into something good. I'm not talking about your conversions, I'm talking about your life. You lived on someone else's land, couldn't afford a workshop, found a work around, and you grew your skills, mindset, and life around what you could. Always bettering yourself no matter what life threw at you. Money, covid. I'm from the hood, first male in my fam that went to college, moved up, got a good job, and now has a family of three with one on the way. I love seeing people wanting something, and doing everything to get that goal. Keep working my man.
I kind of laughed when said you have been building your random projects and sometimes I wonder if you know just how talented you are. Seriously, what you did with your travel trailer if better than any brand new rig that I’ve seen. Not to mention the camper, your truck camper and the vans you have done. Your carpentry skills are bordering perfect and I would think I’ve hit the lottery to have a travel trailer like yours, built to be a Beautiful Home. Good luck in all you do, but with your skills you will master all that you choice to do. Thanks for sharing with us and don’t ever stop reacher higher or going further. 🙏⚓️
Yep! But that’s why you got to the success you have, Hard work will always pay off.. I’m so proud to be a follower of your channel
That's first van when was crazy cool. That was the first time I seen a game system in a van
Finding something you love doing and make money from it, that’s all I see you doing and I love that. Trying to get into it myself
I love how your new space is so detailed and organized. Your channel is AWESOME!!!
Drills on drills on drills lol... congratulations on the move and good luck on the new place!!!
You are incredible, so proud of all your skills.
Just an idea for the router, I'd look into doing threaded inserts into the table so you don't have to put holes into it every time. Love the content man, you make stuff I've never seen before that's dope as hell
Great idea.
Dualex. .I've learned so much from you...I decided to build a she shed...but I have no skills....praying 🙏🏽that your 1st drill generates MAGIC ✳and inspires me to do great things just like you do!..keep up the great work!!!🤗.🙌🏾👏🏾
I enjoy watching your videos, its such a pleasant past-time vs. today's usual dialogue. Refreshing. You are very talented in many ways, and you're a veteran, I'm very proud of you, I hope you're proud of yourself, .. thank you.
What a unique space. It’s perfect for you since you can go build when ever you feel like it. It’s a fantastic setup you’ve made. You’re so inspirational and makes me want to better my woodworking skills. Thanks for being you.
Hi Alex, thank you for showing us your new adventure. Having a work shop near you is a blessing. You've come a long way. Thank you. God bless.
I pray that u have a great security system to safeguard all your equipment. I’m praying for your continued success in all your endeavors!!!!!!!
I'm addicted to your channel and all the tools you provide to help us out! Great channel!!!
So happy for you! Your new apartment and garage/workshop are a big step for you. The workshop is really sell-organized. My dad had a shop for most of my life. He started in a corner of his garage and eventually built a 40'by 30' pole barn - using 1/2 for his 4-wheeled ATV, riding lawn mower, and all their attachments like a grader, wagon, etc. He had more equipment - drill press, planer, etc - but it was organized as hours is. Arranged to go logically from 1 work area to the next as needed. He spent 50+ years collecting his tools and equipment, and he could fo anything, build anything: woodwork, metalwork, wiring, plumbing, etc. You seem to be the same type of man - a master of all trades. I think that's why I love your videos. Congratulations on this big step!
Congratulations on your new space! I've followed you for a while now and always look forward to seeing what cool and innovative ideas you have to add to your builds! Love your meticulous attention to detail and your work ethic. Something about watching you work is so soothing and meditative to me. 🧘🏾♀️ Can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve! P.S. For a guy who works with his hands all day, yours are always so clean, un-narled (is that even a word...lol) and well manicured. 😀
Best wood is organized. Yeah I'm here for the drill.
You've come a long way since sawing on the carpet in your living room. Out west? How exciting😊 Can't wait to see what's next.
Wow! You are a hard working man! So happy and proud of your beautiful shop! And you deserve it! Blessings!
You are the King of hidden compartments and multiuse furniture.i would love to see what you can do with our box truck
You're inspiring the way you just live your life and learn things. Very resourceful.
After watching you in 2020 I started building out vans and selling them! I was able to quit my part time job and pursue this full time time and just started the KZhead channel as well. Thank you bro 🙏🏻🙏🏻 So cool to see your following has grown so much.… and it’d be dope to have that drill 👀
So happy you now have a garage because your talent is dope dude!
Yes, your own space and way closer to home!!! I made one of those comments about the storage shed, biggest benefit was not tracking sawdust into your house, however not needing to leave your house is a bigger benefit. You're a beast! Keep up the good work!
Congrats on the new changes. Glad it will make your builds more convenient for you.
Awesome brother. Congratulations. You are very creative and talented. You have a lot of great ideas!!! I’m glad I came across your videos!!! Stay safe!!
I need a drill in my life! Cause screw drivers copper tunnel is a perfect match 🤣
Good luck with your projects. My favorite time is outside. I was a teacher. My summers were outside. My first summer was building a Triumph TR 4 under a tree next to our apartment. I drove I for 12 years. Good luck! RWB
To go box is called a Pack Out
Your videos give me life. You are a talented man with a great eye.
New space is awesome! I can't wait to see what you make next!! Keep it up your amazing 👏!!
I sit to pee. Random comment for the drill lol. Btw I just started watching you a few days ago. I just bought a camper and have some really good ideas from watching you so thank you. And keep up the amazing work and moving forward. Congratulations on the new shop for now and everything you have learned and accomplished
Hey DualEx love all your Creativity and Congratulations on moving into your own place. I look forward to watching more Inspiration builds with your added bonus 😀
I’ve been binge watching your videos and builds. You are a genius! Just like Zack from Tiny House Nation! I just like to watch you build things! And you have a cool voice!! All the best!
💯Notification Squad💯 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Congratulations👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Thanks For Taking Us Along On Your Journey
I've love watching your videos man. My father and I regularly share them with one another. They are therapeutic and relaxing. You're very creative...I've been hooked since the FIRST hidden chair that you made. You have actually inspired some of my covid/middle-aged building projects over the past year. 😁 Keep doing what you're doing! Random comment: The store is out of Flamin Hot Cool Ranch Doritos. 😭
Great ideas. I wish my Dad had an organized workshop like yours.
You are awesome talented and make beautiful things, so happy for you that you have a nice work place that is heated now. Good Luck in your new shop. Take care and god bless
You are a monster upgrading and building campers
My brother has the same husky box on wheels. When we were plumbing new apartment complex I always tried to get him to ride it down the stairs 😂
Save that drill-it served you well. Stay safe. 🇨🇦
Love watching your craftsmanship mate. Been watching your videos for a while and you've influenced myself to take up an interest in making things myself. Keep up the good work! Respect from Aus🇦🇺
Really proud of you! Hope to see more proyects from you!
You're living your dream bruh. Git it!
I am super happy for you! I love your builds and look forward to the next one.
Happy for you! Keep inspiring!
So amazing!

You are an amazing artist!!!! I would love you to design my future tiny home:)
Nice shop can’t wait to see the new builds 💪🏾
Congratulations, man!
Keep up the progress. Always great content.
Thats awesome man, always doing amazing jobs on the vans. Time for the upgrade
Another great vid from Dualex 💚
Madd props DualEx! Praying for greater success.
Congrats on the move! Keeping a momentum going is a part of what makes life interesting. Thankfully you have your catalog of videos so that when you need some inspiration or additional motivation you've got that resource on tap. I look forward to seeing where your go from here.
Congrats man, All the best always.
