Not fine woodworking by any stretch of the imagination. But its the first time I've ever converted a van. Mistake, many mistakes were made

Think I'll head to Wales and Anglesey. Only a couple of hours away. Haven't been to the coast for what feels like years.

Nice job, what van is it?

I like using ply rather than furniture board as when it gets marked it looks less scruffy.

Cheers James

2016 Citroen Dispatch.
Just made with 18mm construction ply. I was going to use Birch but glad I didn't. Next time.

Some of my recent projects have been: a tool caddy, a la Patrick Sullivan; re-installing a vice on my workbench (haven’t bothered showing a pic of this!); new knobs and handles for some of my old planes.

All very basic and not ‘fine woodworking’. But fun and useful. Oh, and I also made my second bodhran-ish style ‘frame drum’.

Great job. Once you live in it for a bit you will know what you need to change in the next one. Where I live there is a little saying about houses: the first house you build, you sell; the second you rent; the third you live in. I think camper conversions may be similar.

Hi Britman,
What van is it?
Converted a Ford Transit a couple of years ago - was a nice project. Sold it under duress when the new owner saw the finished product!

Make sure you book in advance, went a few years ago and most places were booked

I'm just starting out woodworking and have made my first couple of bandsaw boxes. Not turned out too bad for first attempts. They're cut from a single piece of French Oak and finished with an oil stain.
