HOW TO: New galley construction for your van and a gorgeous handmade teak shower floor
While I believe extruded aluminum to be a fine material choice for building high quality custom vans, I have developed a new way of building the galley module in my vans. And as a bonus "how to" segment, a unique handmade teak shower floor that exudes quality.

    "Georgios" work George & Team. Question please sir. You produced a video a few years ago showing how you joined the ceiling T&G boards together using some type of material or tape. I must have watched all of your videos at least 3 times and I cannot for the life of me find that section of video. Could you by chance point me to the right video please? It was a white T&G ceiling in sections held up by white stringers. I just wanted to see what you used to keep those individual boards together while you secured them into place. Thank you in advance and when I finish my DIY Build, I'm going to drive to your town and show you how your influence helped at least one other : )

    Great video! Have you ever considered using smaller grades of alu extrusion (like 4020 or 2020) for overhead cabinets? 8020 seems like the good choice for most framing, but I think you could save some space and weight when framing smaller pieces. Switching between grades shouldn't be too hard as they all use the same size t-nuts.

    • @HumbleRoad

      I use primarily 10 series for all of my modules. I use 15 series in the bed area where I need a bit more strength. the T nuts are not all the same.

    I'm sure it is better but it also is more expensive and there's a lot more waste material, so you're buying a lot of metal that you're gonna be throwing away, so I don't always agree with this 8020 thing

    • @HumbleRoad
      @HumbleRoad 4 дні тому

      “Better“ usually is more expensive. If you know what you’re doing with 8020 there is very little waste. I’ve shown on my videos that the wasted 8020 after doing 10 vans fits into a milk crate.

    Nice construction! Makes me really want to CNC my next build. Have you tried making dados for the drawer glides to sit in? It would make the fitment even easier, and permit slightly wider drawers. I've never seen it done, but your galley construction gave me the idea.

    • @HumbleRoad

    Do these mini vans come with an RVIA sticker? Edit add: The reason I ask is because some resorts don't allow you to "sleep in your car". You have to have an RV or a tent. RV must have an RVIA sticker.

    The shower teak mat is a work of art! You forgot to mention you use stainless steel screws. Of course! What a beauty. Nice to see a wood framed cabinet but still with the aluminum profile edging. Looks lovely and less pricey than all that 80/20. A big advantage is time savings with the CNC cut sections. Now that you have a regular crew, it is easier to cut that out in wood, err... I meant Spanish plywood, sheesh! Nothing but the best. I loved the tip about the rounded out scoop holes. Just like airplane windows, wow!! Now I get why they are always rounded. Awesome work, George!! You are simply THE BEST!!! Sending you good thoughts from CA.🤩🤩🤩

      The teak hardwood would have to be glued together in strips of whatever width you choose. Then when you start cutting in those ovalized drain holes, you will not be able to line them up with the glue lines and it would look like a mess.

  • @dieselrugg
    @dieselrugg 9 днів тому

    I was wondering when the cost and time of 80/20 would, from a businesses sense, persuade the transition to ply. Nothing wrong with it....just makes sense. However, when you transition to 1by and lauan...your transition to the dark side will be complete.

      The teak hardwood would need to be glued together in strips of whatever with you choose. At that point, it would be nearly impossible to have all your drain hole cutouts perfectly lined up with those glue seams.

    They can be out of square. The added strength of the joint is usually more a benefit when used for shelving units. Instead of a few nails the entire width of the shelf is sitting on the edge of the groove. Glue and finishing nails are normally used as well.

  • @chrisdaniel1339
    @chrisdaniel1339 9 днів тому

    What about laying up all the strips of teak like you were making a cutting board an putting it on the CNC to cut the slots, then while it is doing its cutting you can be working on another part of the build. You could use a large diameter router bit to just cut a straight line slot the width required or used a very small diameter bit and cut the perimeter of the slot and have a small waste piece in the center. I know teak is expensive and using the forstner bit wastes less wood, but it is also very time consuming to stand at the drill press and make all those tiny piece, as we all know time is money.

    • @HumbleRoad
      @HumbleRoad 9 днів тому

      We considered that approach. But due to the inconsistencies in the teak, you could not perfectly aline all those slot holes along and within the glue lines.
