that was a fantastic segway from lisp to square space scott. well done. hope level three proves to be ok for you...

Hi Scott I never even noticed you had a speech impediment, I also have one and know how hard some words are to say, but I’m an avid follower of your videos and every video is clear and understandable, so I hope if you ever felt self conscious you don’t need to worry anymore. Hope lockdown is lifting for you soon.

That Squarespace ad transition was as smooth as those sliders. Well done.

Its truly amazing how far you can drive with just the rubber stips holding the load on the roof.

Hooray for level 3!! Nice setup Scott!

Bro, you really have passion for your work. Everything is so tidy organized, reveling the love for what you do. It is remains me of when I started working as a handyman here in California, then became a pro-painter and thought about having my own company. Talking about tools and strategies for work projects was what kept me motivated. I am 32 y/o now with twin girls and a body that feels overworked, I didn't take good care of it(too much overtime for family reasons). Now I have to worry about the future of my girls and I feel that I have to prepare for my inevitable future as well. I got a good/stable job as painter and I don't have to worry about buying tools for projects of my own. This gives me peace of mind for now and the future. However, I still want to live the life you are enjoying today bro. Be as enthusiastic for what you do bro. Cheers Scott, God bless you and keep the good work!!

Scott and Jess are an awesome couple. Million subscribers coming up!!!!!

looks awesome Scott! The main thing I learned from this video is that tying down materials on the roof if optional ;)

😂 don't try this at home!

The stealth mounts are a great idea, I know of a plumber who used to just throw his batteries in the back loosely, until one of them shorted out on some wire wool, totally gutted his van, lithium iron batteries are very dangerous if not stored properly. I've got about 14 Bosch 18 v batteries, and I always keep them in the tools, the new bosch sds plus has mounts built into the case to store spare batteries.

Scott, your channel is such a joy to watch. I love your organizational skills, the video you include of nature and surrounding environment, your positive outlook, and of course the things you teach us. Very inspiring. I will continue to watch and hope more people find your channel. Thanks for all the great content!! Cheers from California!

I recently took all my saw brackets off my saws, and mounted one set to a piece of plywood and put a cleat across the back. So I put the “saw table” on the stand, then I can just use any saw, and the saws take up less space when stored.

Thanks for sharing as it’s good to know that someone else is always making continued changes with their set ups

Love it, I'm getting a new transporter and will be following alot of the same layout you have! Hugely helpful

Glad to hear you'll be back to work soon! Looking forward to more videos on site. :-)

Love your channel, Scott. As a mostly retired ex-office worker, I've just finished a two year total DIY reno on this 1980s brick house. Your tips and positive manner have been a real inspiration to us. Keep it up!

nice setup Scott! love the bloppers!!! for weight reduction, what about "Pocketing" or cutting large holes in the ply where it doesn't compromise the strength?

Thanks for sharing and have a good time and a lot of work!

Looking forward to new episodes! Glad to see you're back to work!

Never thought you had lisp. That's pretty cool what you've built with the channel. It's helped me in several home improvement projects.

Great to hear your allowed back to work 👌

So glad you get to work again. Nice van tour 👌

You have a good layout I enjoy your videos I have recently retired from my handyman/renovation business so I like watching what you do and wish I was your age and still making saw dust keep up the good work

I appreciate all the tips!

Love the set up. Your van and vids about it is the reason I want to give up my Ute and trailer set up. Gives me so many ideas and so practical.

Don't worry about having a lisp your a great and clever man, and we all love you!!!

On the driver's side sliding door next to the table saw, you can add an off-set box to make the clearance from hitting the sliding door with another drawer.

Thanks for this! Love the raised platform set up

Good video for Lockdown! Well designed van interior Scott.👍All the best for Level 3.😷😎

Great episode mate, always love a good van set up. I put a sliding drawer in my ute and it's been a game changer. 311 episodes (plus the og episodes) and I've never noticed your lisp! Take care

A very exciting episode. Great stuff. Cheers.

Really nice job fitting out your van, i recently discovered your channel and ive binge watched almost all of your exciting episodes. Also glad to hear you can get back to working!

I'm glad that your back in the business.

Excellent work on your setup man. All that organizing was so relaxing to watch.

Glad to see you back to work

Jess has your mannerisms and speech down cold. Nice ending......

A place for everything and everything in its place!

In addition to the improved crash protection on the new HiAce's, they're also a considerably larger vehicle. The rear door for example is much more 'square' than the 2006 rectangle.

I’ve been in hiaces for the last 10 years, ranging from 2004 model year to present and the newest one is so far ahead of the old design. If you’re thinking about getting one you will not be disappointed! comfortable, quiet and safe. I can easily look past the shorter cargo area with all these benefits, you learn to use the extra width you have over the length. Sorry if this started to sound a bit erotic towards the end 😆

Only two engine options available here, the 1GD-FTV 2.8L diesel, which has been a bit questionable in terms of reliability over the past few years, or the 2GR-FKS 3.5L V6 petrol, which is a brilliant engine, but an absolute gas guzzler

Been watching for awhile now and have started my adult apprenticeship in carpentry. Your a big inspiration Scott

Hi there Jess. Glad you're being included a bit more lately.......your Scott Brown imitation is quite good. hehe Smoko Time! Funny stuff. Oh yeah, Hi Scott. :) Nice to hear you can get back to work.

Oh my god!! Love a good van epsode. Haha well done Mr an Mrs Brown. Enjoy level 3. 😷😍👍🇳🇿

That Squarespace segway was smooth. Greetings from Jamaica! Love your videos Scott!

Great lockdown vid mate very ingenious. The van will make a great back packer vehicle once you have finished with it 😁. Will do another 3/4 of a million kms in its next life……. 😁 🇬🇧 😁 PS, hope the AB’s go well against the Boks this weekend

Damn, that transition into the adbreak was smooth as heck!

Great video as always Scott, really enjoy your content, keep up the great work

Brilliant set up I love it at least you're used the whole van

Now that you mentioned your lisp, I can't unhear it lol. I had never noticed before.

That's an incredibly functional and organized way of loading up a van. Best part is that you made all of it yourself. Kudos on some of the cinematography you include in your work, that's a nice touch. You can get kits to add on features like back-up cameras and Bluetooth radios to these older vehicles. Its usually very simple to have that added and knowing how clever you are, you could likely do it yourself. You can even go for window scrolling mechanism as well, they just pop a motor inside the door panel and slip a cog over where the handle normally sits and voila!

Many Great people in history with a lisp... Mike Tyson, Sean Connery, Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, Drew Barrymore, Anthony Keedis, Daffy Duck, Frank Bruno ... To name a few. Great set up Scott! A van is way more practical than a ute IMHO.

Nice one Scott!

hi from colorado good to see you back to work

Flawless ad transition. (Probably tough to say with a LISP)

Glad you're back at work bro 👍

Great video.enjoyed

Good work man 💯🎯

Awesome end of video. Good on you. Made my day !!!!

Sweet set up.

Great job Scott, your wife is awesome, great sense of humor!

I had a Merc MB140D as a courier van back in 2000, large enough to take my whole days deliveries instead of 3 trips with the Hi-Ace. If you had a frontal the engine was designed to drop and roll under the chassis and the steering wheel would colapse and move forward; it was also cheaper than a new Hi-ace; only downside was 1 side door on the passengers side.

outtakes where banging 👍😂😂😂

Good to see you getting back to work. In all honesty I never realized you had a lisp until you pointed it out.

Great video as always 👍

Hi Scott, we are out of lockdown now in the UK and it was tough. Stay focused, catch up on the jobs at home that your loved one needs sorting and plan the future cause there is one coming. You’re doing good man and we still learn lots from you, thank you. Keep up the good work. Best wishes, Chris and MoJo the Weimararner.

Great video, especially the end 🤣

One of the coolest setups.

I think I like your van layout better than when they do the cabinets on either side. I like that you have the top to put full sheets ontop of. I have been working out of a crossover SUV for like 5-6 years now... it's interesting. I need a work vehicle.

Best of luck from a very distant Slovakia, Scott. Hope to see more of your videos from jobsites. Take care

Clever stuff - hope you'll be down to Level 1 before long - Keep safe!

Smooth transition to the sponsor ;p. Nice setup. I always figured having two sliding doors would limit the inside usability, but in a tradie scenario, as you've shown, it opens up storage solutions.

Drove a 2011 Hiace for years and just upgraded to a 2021 Hiace - The difference is just mind boggling, such a smooth ride (I drive anywhere from 2-5 hours a day)

Cool video!

nice hoodie. the chats are dope . from canada with love

I dig the van set up. We use trailers here in the states, but I see plenty of Transit vans too.

Your work is beautiful

You should look at getting a bull bar on the front of the van if your worried about your foot. Literally just wrote my van off the other day, t-boned someone doing an illegal U turn. Front of the van got smashed up bad and the bullbar took a lot of the brunt. I came out with grazed knees and that’s it!

Great your back at work scott .here in the UK 🇬🇧 if you are a builder we were told to just crack on so worked all through our lockdowns . Wish my van was as tidy mate great video never noticed the lisp until now 🙄 can't stop hearing it now all the best👍

It is very noticeable on TV that lisping seems to be an almost exclusively British mannerism.

Thanks mate

Brilliant as always! I'm surprised you've never used it to camp out of too as the platform would be perfect for two to sleep. Get yourself a jackery to power everything and you'd be good to go do some boondocking!

Time Toyota came to the party and helped you into a new van. With 290k followers it would have to be good PR

I was happy to see you actually have a bit of mess, makes me feel better when I compare myself to you :)

nice . Thanks!

I'm a carpenter in the UK, I lease my van so all the storage is built modular. That way I just unbolt them then refit into the next van.

Love it.

hahahaha the out takes. LOVE IT!!!

Nice. I’m a handyman in Oz. Have a flat-top platform like you and rear pullout drawers but built with no expensive drawer-sliders; approx $50/drawer with same weight ability. I’m on version 3.0 now as you demonstrate customising it to your personal optimal setup is key. Took me ages to realise which tools and consumables I need every day ( basic tools plus paints, plastering repairs etc) then the ability to add benchsaw etc Key to mine was ability to be ablle ro carry 2400x1200 sheet on top. Handy when raining AND can be used for camper awning etc!Q!!

Awesome 👌🏻

Youre one clever man scott love the content

That van gives me thrills

Tool storage is an evolution. Make everything as best as you can, because when time passes and hindsight kicks in after use, you see what you “should “ have done. So set yourself up to be able to modify your set up easily. I think this process of storing your gear, designing and building, really improves you as a carpenter in all aspects. You get to test your theory’s and methods to hard use or get to learn a new skill through intense repetition. For instance I used pocket holes to build 90% of my trailer to see it’s Applications and limitations. Let the sawdust fly and have fun!

Great video! Interesting use of kaizen foam aha

Lockdown Brown and His Van of Renown (apologies to Les Brown). Glad you’re back to Level 3. Thanks for the video.

Hi Scott, good video. You can really get a lot of stuff into your van. I to have tricked out my van, often when people see it they get van envy. You should treat your sliding doors to a bit of silicon spray, you won't regret it.

Here's where Toyota need to see this video and send you a van as a sponsor 🤞🏻

Great vid as always Scotty! I’ve been watching for a while and am going to buy some merch, but you need the van logo on a mug! Cheers from your neighbour 🇦🇺
