Marius I sit in awe watching every vlog that you post. Your technical skills, your humour and your forthright "German" low bs personality are a joy to behold. And you do it all in a second language! I look forward to the next posting. The world awaits you.
Working on someones camper is an honor, working on your parents camper is double honor! And there is nothing better, than your parents admitting your skill! Well done!
Let this be a lesson to all parents out there. Obviously, and I do mean OBVIOUSLY, Marius has parents that support and encourage and love him. That takes effort and is thankless a lot of times. But if you put in the work, you will be rewarded. Maybe that's just a shelf to some, but every time they see it they will know it's a "thank you, job well done." What more could you want from life?
I like all your homemade tools................I have a bunch too, but unfortunately mine are no as beautifully finished as yours. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.
great job both on the fastening clamps/aluminum slides and on the scribing of the shelf sides, how about making a homemade profiler made of hardwood and with a clamping method securing the "fingers" will stay fixed when you are done copying the shape you want? sounds like a good project for other jobs you can run into, perhaps even making it big enough to handle larger surfaces?
Nice Work Marius. I have never used one of those fancy contour gauges. And I have done lots and lots of contour work. Your method is one of the easiest. For larger spaces between the piece to be marked and the piece to be fitted to I usually cut a marking block equal to the largest distance away from the two and mark it out as you did. Gives you a line that you can directly cut instead of requiring a transfer piece. I enjoy your videos. Keep up the interesting videos.
6:14 That funnel you made is not a failure, all you needed to do was to fill the bottom with some resin and finish the bowl. You can cut the hole to any shape before adding the resin and make a unique piece.
Nice work, we're actually in the middle of a cabinetry project for our camper right now! Getting rid of the stuff that came in it with all these dumb false panels and installing doors all the way across.
Great mounting idea! Looks amazing and worth for repeating.. No worries about color mismatches - designer's to, sometimes, putting together different shades of one color..
Really nice clean work here. I do have one small suggestion. If prior to the final installation you were to place those wood spacers, the ones you use to drill through the metal, back inside the metal and then glued your final shelf to that piece of wood (using your final installation as the clamping force), you're finished product would have a great deal more wood for the screws to hold on to, resulting in a stronger more durable shelf. As the Shelf is now your overall holding strength is about the diameter of 4 pencils, which is quite a lot until they go over a speed bump what's some books up on that shelf. If you do as I suggest you'll end up with many times more of that of support. In any event, it looks pretty for now.
Fantastic method as usual Marius. You definitely have a fresh unique way of approaching challenges that is inherent to you. You inspired me back when you did a review on your Hammer saw to buy one from Felder. So a few years and a bunch of saving later I've just ordered the Winner from the Hammer range. I'll make sure they know it was because of you that I'm spending the money on their saw, hopefully you get a kick back or some free Felder stuff in return.
Wow, great innovation as usual~! I like the hidden mounting hardware solution, but that tip for copying a profile just helped me with the same problem on another project. Thanks for sharing your great ideas~!
You could have used a piece of L shaped extrusion too if the wood can't handle the stress of the shelf and load. I don't think it will break, but it might due to it experiencing dynamic loading from driving and people moving within the camper.
Hiya, nice video thank you. Some people may take the p#ss about you living at home their helping you, you making stuff for the home and camper... but, you go!!! You are showing people you have respect for your mum and dad and that is beyond price. Keep on keeping on and two fingers up to the sofa warming trash. I admire your clean cut looks, at your age I had a pony tail and scraggy beard, and your attitude to life and work. There is nothing wrong in being who you want to be so go for it...
So many people his age (my age) are still living at home with their parents. It has become extremely expensive to live, with rent being one of the highest expenses.
Say after me....”I am in my parents camper”....not “I am in the camper of my parents”....lol... I liked the the pencil gauge to profile the plastic trim...an old time way of doing things that many think they have reinvented...I enjoyed your work, what timber was that, looked like oak... German oak?....
The only thing I'm a little worried about is the stress points. All the weight goes to those 4 bolts and there's not a lot of wood above them (1cm?). You also routed most of the wood away. Might have been better to have just cut 2 thin grooves for a perfect fit of the aluminium U-extrusion. Or, now I come to think about it, have a T extrusion and just cut 1 thin groove in the the wood.
Hi, Marius! I love that mounting solution! And I always love your accuracy. But there is a mishap in your grain direction, I think. With that cross-grain glueup you will have always a 10% difference in movement. And your side pieces can't handle much load. If the grain would go up instead of sideways there would be much less stress and it could handle more load. I think last thing is significant in a vibrating environment. Regards, Etna.
Very nice method and would have it's applications, but in this situation would it not have been more simple to use screws from the cubby above into the new shelf? (or put threaded inserts into the new shelf and use bolts down into it)
Since you attached the aluminum to the existing shelf with through bolts, not sure I see the point in the fancy fastening system. Run some screws down from the upper cabinet. Nice job anyway! 😀
Up there was probably only room for a washer and a nut and you can hold a nut in place with pliers and drive the bolt in from below. Being him I´m sure he found the best possibility for what he had to work with. If you look at 7.27 you can see the place he fastens the shelves to is kinda under the other shelf so he cant reach from up, same on both sides.
Whenever I'm drilling critical holes through oak, the grain takes the drill bit and wanders/skews it like crazy. Is this problem solved with the stiffness of a high quality drill press?
Wäre ein Möbelverbinder nicht auch eine Alternative gewesen? Da du ja sowieso von oben geschraubt hast. Lange Gewindeschraube von oben und query eine Mutter einlassen. Klasse, wie du immer beim "rohen" Holz beginnst und ein schönes Ergebnis hervorbringst.
Great idea and workmanship. I have a question about how you explained the offset drill marks would bring the shelf up on the install. I thought that was great, could you explain how you knew that or did that? Amazing. Lol, Im just getting started in woodworking and trying to learn simple skills.
Use an appropriately sized metal washer instead of the specially cut wood pencil holder to trace the shape of what you're trying to copy. Much quicker, cheaper, easy 👍
I was thinking he didn't realize at first what the material of the existing shelf was, and decided later on that it was not substantial enough to hold a screw. But yeah, I'd like to have that explained in the video.
These home-made large clamps (in the begining) are what I need ! :) Did you make a video about them ? I've seen all but I don't remember one handling this subject.
@@annesoftwehr2872 not Much. He is a Carpenter and he wants his students to do it right. If we make joinery and trim stuff with a chisel or so to make it fit, we are asked to try again. We should learn do do it right the first time.
