i feel like i shouldn't be watching this for free

Why was THIS not a class in high school? I’d have been early every time and stayed late. This is all solid gold.

I have used 8020 to build CNC machines and one thing that I've learned is that if your project will be in, on, or near anything that moves, some of those fasteners will come loose. Blue Loctite is your friend. Inevitably, the one that comes loose first is the one that is the hardest to access.

Wow, this is one of the best tutorials - of any subject matter - that I've seen on KZread. Thank you so much for creating & sharing this for free. Can't wait to start my project now!

So nice to watch a 8020 webinar while I'm sipping my Sunday morning coffee.

Expensive. Great product, many options, not for everyone.

Every episode has been a master class, my friend. Not unlike a great classic motion picture 🎥 that you’ve seen 10 times yet discover something new each time. I find myself “needing” to rewatch 🍿 previous episodes waiting for your next release. You’re a natural educator and your lessons are taken to heart. Thanks again❗️👍

WOW! Best time I have ever spent on YT. You cant beat people who have practical experience. The tips, tricks and specific details are great. There are people in high dollar "schools" that arent as educated. Thank you so much for sharing. WIll be visiting this channel in prep for my attempt at 8020.

Thanks, George!

Well done sir 👏. You kinda remind me of my shop teacher from back in the day. Only class I liked and actually paid attention with interest 😅.

Yes! My junior high school woodshop teacher, Mr. Bockman and my high school woodshop teacher, Mr. Welsh, both standouts in my memory

your *BEST PRACTICES* make a lot of sense!

Learned about 8020 in grad school. Amazing tech! I know welding would be lighter and slimmer but that’s some serious commitment to learning that trade, lol

I'm glad I know how to weld and have an aluminum welder. Way lighter, and infinitely cheaper. Did my entire van with 1" square alum tubing for about $100. Great option for those who don't have access to a welder, though. My inlaws used those on their build, and turned out great, but they paid for it.

Serious question , what is an aluminium welder? I'd be interested

Wonderful design thinking. Videos should be mandatory viewing for all other van converters. Thank you sharing.

I wish I had unlimited funds. I think I would just go nuts on the 8020 website, and have the equivalent of an erector set ready to go for damn near any project I had around the house. Really nice video George!

The Master

Straight to the point, phenomenal presentation, and great energy! We appreciate you, brother!😊

How awkward, funny or telling is it, that I recognize your voice immediately George, without having to look at the "screen". Thank you!

I wish I would have known all of these tricks before with working with 8020. This is so helpful!

George, your videos are so well put together and informative. It's such a pleasure, really enjoy your work.

Great Tutorial 👍 What size 8020 do recommend for building the kitchen and refrigerator cupboards and wall storage? 1” or 1.5”?

Sir, you are a master craftsman. Thank you for taking the time to share your innovations and wisdom.

Wow, this is the best video on using 8-/20! All your videos are so helpful. Thanks so much for sharing your tips!

Truly a "Master" craftsman working at his craft and sharing freely on youTube. Thank you sir!

I am a mechanical engineer. This was a master class in structural engineering combined with solutions to a real-life situation and laced with a mountain of common sense. My respects.

I'm really grateful for KZread and all of you creators for sharing your knowledge. I'm in the planning process now. I haven't bought any supplies as of yet though I'm gathering a wealth of knowledge proactively which makes my understanding so much greater so thank you, thank you Mr. Humble.

This is the best 80/20 tutorial I’ve seen from a man who builds killer vans 🏆

Fantastic video!

The flat end of a zip tie can also be inserted behind the roll-in nuts to hold them flat against the front of the channel. I appreciate your channel and the forethought you emphasize in your designs.

Thank you, professor! A very informative tutorial!

Thank you for taking the time to share the great tools used in your builds!

Ciao George, I've been an avid RV'er for years, started out in 1971 in a Ford Econoline van with a portable toilet , sink and a green pump fuel stove. I'm on my third mortorhome and my wife, Debbie, enjoy ever minute of it from Myrtal Beach to all of the state parks in West Virginia, including New Jersey one summer. As a retired Tech Ed instructor and administrator, I've watched everyone of your You Tube posts and have enjoyed them immensely. Your presentations, your attention too detali, your hummor, and your williingness to share are commendable. I have a seperate machinewelding and wood shop and you have almost tempted me on a journey to build a custom van. Looking forward too future videos. Grazie mille, Roman

Hello from Sussex UK!

Your teaching style is fantastic; thanks for sharing the wisdom 👍

I remember the early days when you could get only the original Bosch Rexroth stuff. It was massively more expensive than today. Goes to show how competition affects the price.

Very nice.

Very interesting -- especially after seeing far too many van builds made with 2x4s! Also... And you're sooo close with the mini-me. It just needs a place to sit -- to work, prepare food, eat, relax, read, watch tv, etc. Maybe a 1/3 of the bed could fold up to become a chair? -- with leg room, armrests and an adjustable backrest. And when needed, a table top could fold down from the wall! Options! 😉

Great tips!

'Think about the repercussions of your decisions'....was that a subtle dig at the American electorate I wonder? Another great, selfless video from a great teacher. Thanks George.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom gained across multiple years and projects. As a hobbyist this helps avoid so many facepalm moments that I can't afford.

Hi. Great video. Could you do one specifically on the different ways to add draws. Such as putting the runners directly on the 80/20 vs using a wood insert like a box or a panel and mounting that to the 80/20. Thanks. And again love your content.

Yeah Wera makes some very fine tools. Love my racheting screwdriver.

Nick is a genius, by the way. 🙂

Outstanding... from a furniture designer and maker.👋

So helpful. We are grateful for such sharing 💜

What a craftsman and a perfectionist, I am not alone ;) Great video as always :)

I have yet to work with 8020, but you’re inspiring me!

This was an awesome video! Thank you! We'll be using many of your ideas/solutions for our rescue truck and 4Runner.

"Nick taught me a truck". Lol. I don't know if it's the comment alone or the delivery, but it sounded like a Dr. Seuss quote. I love it. Your videos are the best. This one is going to help me a lot.

Thanks for the thoughts . Need T-handle Allens in the arsenal as well!

This is the video I really really needed. Thank you, so so much!

Great video, you’re a fantastic teacher, thanks!

Thank you for the very nice and elaborate explanation.

Randomly driving around yesterday I started cracking up thinking of the best one liner I have ever heard, And yes it came from you! "I wear a belt, and suspenders." Please make this a t-shirt with your humble road sign off! It's like a wife motto and I live by it. My computer hard drives have backups and those backups have backups. More examples of doubling suspenders in my life... Driver's license, house key(hidden outside), three car keys, Design as if failure will happen at some point not if it will happen at some point. Make the t-shirt, please :-)

Fantastic video as always George - i thought i had watched them all then went searching thought and found this one - A++

Simply amazing! Thank you for such a valuable lesson! :)

I like tapping center hole of profile and using end fasteners more than the surface mounted elbows and plates

This looks fun!

Wonderfully thorough.

Something also worth considering with the pre-cut 45 degree braces is cost. Depending on length, they're anywhere from $18-$40 a piece while the smaller gussets are a lot more affordable! So definitely worth considering

Thank you. Cheers from OZ

Great info 👍

Thank you...

Wonderful detail, delivery, pacing, and content.... very good. Very helpful. Adding to my shared doc/list with all my friends. I worked with 80/20 with trade show build with my Dad's company and later for flagship retail for Audi, Microsoft, etc. I love the product and instantly thought of it for van builds. So glad you've been on that track. Looking forward to watching and rewatching all of you videos.
