Nice job there! What tools did you use in the construction of your van and who did the plumbing :wave:
Regards Stephen.
 
carpentry

i had basic wood working skills im a plumber by trade it was only the second time id used a router the first was two groves in some ply.By using lightwieght ply,plastic mouldings and edgings theres not a lot of carpentry skills involved ,some scribing is obviously needed other than that the ability to cut straight and some basic powertool use

didn't make you nervous then, cutting up those expensive boards?what did you use to cut them? i get your point though,i've only used that plastic corner and edging strip on one van and found it very relaxing compared.
