I have to say that I'm a bit skeptical about your never having built anything before. The angles being cut, high end tools being used, and methods like countersinking, using pocket holes, and predrilling elude to some experience working with wood. I base this on my years of home improvement projects, crafting, and building while still not being able to make my 45's line up perfectly or cut a straight line freehand lol. Either way, love the video and you did a great job!
@bbacalhauРік тому
Hey Dean! I totally get your point especially with the array of tools I have at this point. The truth is I had none of that when I started this project, I bought the tools as I needed them and I also learned how to use them as I went (with UKposts tutorials). I did find a new passion and that’s why I invested so much time, effort and money on it. But thanks for pointing that out and I’m glad you enjoyed following along ✌🏼

Man, I have to give you massive props on the production of this whole thing. Do I believe that you have no experience building things? Not for a second. But you put an incredible amount of work both into the van and this video and for that you deserve a huge pat on the back. The slider timelapses, the stop motion clips, the visual effects, the sheer dedication to capturing things from a variety of angles...I'm amazed it only took you 18 months with how much time you must have spent just filming things. Well done to you sir. Fastest sub in the west.

I’m also very sceptical. As someone who has been doing carpentry and joinery for 10 years, he is definitely not a beginner. It’s the little things like the tools he’s using and the fact he knew to pilot drill the holes etc which is a giveaway to me. And his jigsaw cuts are very smooth. And for someone who has “never made anything in their life” there certainly have a large variety of specialist tools.
