Fitting a solid wood worktop in a DIY self built campervan. 

You are one of a hell of a talented lady love the van layout

Awesome job, and what a huge campervan!

Slowly catching up with your videos still, I really do appreciate you fast forwarding the little unimportant bits in your edit, totally saves me doing it LOL!, makes the videos so much nicer to watch, nice flow. Keep up the good work!

Such a great job. I bow my head. Not only woodworking is excellent but also electrics, gas, tiling and plumbing as well as design. Very very cool to have these skills. 👏

Looks very professional. Going back over your van build vids after following your later adventures. Fascinating to see Fanny’s birth 😊

Superb effort again! I appreciate the effort it must be to video your work.

It’s more than alright, Louise. Top job as always. Top skills as always. Love it, you grafting away, Emily doing a top job dying her hair. Great stuff. You must be getting exited now. 👍

Very nice. the counter looks mint

Getting loads of great tips and ideas from your vids...really liked those electrical switch panels you made.

Just come across your videos absolutely love them keep them up

Lou, great job, kitchen looking fab.

Thanks Lou, this was so helpful! Going to do mine this weekend - can't wait:)

Enjoying the build and all the back videos too. Cheers Richie.

We've just come across your build series with this video and are now catching up with your previous videos. The build looks fantastic. We love the window surround, kitchen worktop and those tiles will look amazing. Looking forward to the next episode 😊

Brilliant yet again...

Great build series well done and a quality job :)

Hiya, I am a Carpenter/Joiner, i just want to say you should be proud of what you are doing, you are overcoming any issues and doing a fantastic job, but also, you do like your ketchup and you should eat your crusts, my nan used to say lol, keep up the good work it looks great

Looks good so far...really like the window!

Skills! Loving the series

I'm about to do mine, you're so brave.

Cracking job Louise 👍👍.......Jim😎

After finding you on your Norway/Sweden series, I am binge-watching the van build as I'd love to do the same one day. One thing though...The Ketchup is upside down 🙃😂! I am looking forward to following your future travels. Keep up the great work.

Doing a great job , could do with you when I get my van , hopefully getting it in march. Look forward to your next video.

This is just a suggestion: if the hob has been a few centimeters lower, you could have been able to add hinges to the counter top section you cut to provide space for the hob and install it over. That would provide a flat and continuous counter top.

I hope Emily realises she’s one lucky lady having you ❤

I've just binge-watched all of your build series and I have to say it's looking fantastic, and I love your eye for detail; it's going to look lush once all the "dressy" bits are in. One thing I've noticed is that you say you get annoyed by squeaks, rattles and repetitive noises (I totally empathise by the way)..... Keep in mind that the weight on that retractable hose will keep bumping on the wall/cabinet back as you are driving. It might pay to staple a bit of old carpet underlay (or similar) to the wall while you have the chance ;-) Keep up the good work; can't wait to see the next upload :-) :-)

Looking good 😎

Superb job btw 👏👍

@12.40m...glad I’m not the only one who measures things using a tape at the 100mm mark and going off it rather than the end!lol I knew all along I wasn’t weird 🙃

You've got skills

Great video love the tap which one is it please? What are you doing fo a fridge x

i work in one of the amazon fulfilment centres where i live and i agree with you that that amount of packaging is too much but there is a reason for it from what i saw it was packed wrong the item should have been centred in the box because after it is packed it is placed on a conveyor and sent to sorting and that is a violent fast process and so we are told to use larger boxes to protect the item

Are you eating toast with Ketchup?? I LOVE toast with Ketchup, thought it was just me.

Hi Lou. I think that flappy table would have needed an Emily leg. They are so called because they can get in the way of your legs sometimes :o) Looking good though xx Love to Ems. xx

Looks amazing, do you have a link to that tap on amazon? I’m looking for something similar

Love the work top but if on a tight budget you could have used the wood you cut of the worktop for a splash back. Nice to see a women doing a van build, great work 😎

What oven is that? WE're looking for an oven/hob for our van but not sure what to go with

Loving the build Where did you get the sink from ?

Looks great, as always. Is that a handheld circular saw you're using or something else? I'm probably going to cut my worktop tomorrow and not sure if I should use the circular saw or jigsaw for a better cut. The jigsaw isn't great but not sure how else to cut the wood at the back of the oven opening.

The counter top looks just what I need. Can you remember where you got it from Em...? And would you say it could be used with an underslung sink..? 👍

Van's looking fantastic. Only criticism I'd make, in fact the only criticism I've got of any of you're videos up till now is: Never, ever, EVER, destroy perfectly good cheese on toast with tomato ketchup ever again 🤢🤮🤣 Good, now that we've got that sorted I'm off to watch a couple more 😊👍

Looking good! Did you have to worry about splintering on this when cutting it? I've seen people talk about cutting wood upside down, using masking tape like yourself, or even cutting it face side up but using blades with the teeth facing downwards. Not sure if this applies so much to solid wood worktops (even with staves) as it can be sanded smooth very easily?

Louise, only just noticed. You should try a little cheese on toast with your tomato sauce 😂

What sepecific material do you use for the worktop? And what width and depth?

Subbed! Love your build! I'll watch all your videos. What was the name of that tap you got off Amazon? Thanks.

Great videos, where did you get your sink from?

I want a taller van ford transit 350! 😢😢

Hi, Lou really enjoying all your videos. Quick question. I'm about to install my worktop which is the same one as the one you have. Did you treat it in any way? The paperwork seems to say it's already treated but I feel I want to give it a few more coats of wax or oil.

Was the cooker easy to plumb? Did you have to get engineer out? Curious of cost if you can’t do it yourself. Great build 👍

Question: Can I buy the other half of the wood worktop from you?

How much was your cooker oven combo

What thickness is the oak worktop and where did you buy it from? Cheers

Where did you buy your worktop from and what was the cost.

:)

Um, am I the only one who is wondering about the ketchup on bread thing? I love you, but...??
