This series was inspired by the incredible work of @WabiSabE

I have to say that I'm a bit skeptical about your never having built anything before. The angles being cut, high end tools being used, and methods like countersinking, using pocket holes, and predrilling elude to some experience working with wood. I base this on my years of home improvement projects, crafting, and building while still not being able to make my 45's line up perfectly or cut a straight line freehand lol. Either way, love the video and you did a great job!

I was hitchhiking in Portugal and Bernardo picked me up in this van; that was his second day on the road.
It looks amazing in real life as well and Bernardo is as genuine and kind as he looks on this video.
Amazing job brother and all the best with your trips inside this beauty.

As beautiful as this van build is (and it is stunning!), I'd like to comment on how good your video editing, camera work, music selection and narration is. I found this whole video, so enjoyable to watch. Well done all around!

[mavinajfan]

I put together all of my IKEA furniture in my apartment and thought I was a pro carpenter. Ego back in check, this is next level!

This must be the best 35 minutes I've spent on the Internet this year. It is incredibly entertaining to watch the whole process of building the van itself, but combined with your videography skills and literally showing your ideas becoming a reality, it's incredible. Thank you so much for sharing the whole process with us Bernardo! Enjoy your van ;)

[CamAuthentic]

Hard to believe this was built with no experience. Considering all the professional tools, perfect cuts & attention to small details. Always has the best camera angles & editing.

[sickedudelife]

Dude this is soo cool and incredibly well made. All the shots, timelapses and stopmotions were so dope! Can't wait to see more

[MarkSpurrell]

Man, I have to give you massive props on the production of this whole thing. Do I believe that you have no experience building things? Not for a second. But you put an incredible amount of work both into the van and this video and for that you deserve a huge pat on the back. The slider timelapses, the stop motion clips, the visual effects, the sheer dedication to capturing things from a variety of angles...I'm amazed it only took you 18 months with how much time you must have spent just filming things. Well done to you sir. Fastest sub in the west.

I have never enjoyed a van conversion video so much. You’re a skilled videographer! Loved the music and everything. The van looks so

[carkos]

Estava a ver este vídeo que me foi recomendado e do nada pus-me a pensar... "Aquela moça parece portuguesa" e já agora o sotaque do rapaz também... aí quando reparei no título do canal... Muito orgulho em ter um youtuber português com este nível de produção e qualidade!

[Ru-xdff]

The pure joy on his face after successfully building his Ideas, the editing and music choices ... everything is so wholesome about this video ! I hope he's having the time of his life on This VAN !!

[zachpatton]

Not only did you build a beautiful home, you included everyone along the way in an amazing editing style with music and narration, absolutely incredible!

[Flouman]

I really have to say. I saw a ton of van conversion videos before but YOURS was one of the best filmed, edited and enjoable videos i have ever seen :)

[cmhall]

Your enthusiasm is fantastic! You are adorable every time you succeed at a task. Live the build... And the music!

[evanselaban]

I don't think I believe you that you haven't built anything before in your life because you did one hell of a job and you seem very comfortable with the tools and you use techniques ppl with experience knows come on bro tell the truth you did this before or you've done your studying and design wise it's beautiful. Great job bro. Oh your video editing and different tricks you did and the various soundtracks you've used loved it. Bro you got skills don't lie

[sozo]

legitimately the best timelapse music i have ever heard used on youtube honestly

[vynidalopes]

This is one of the best builds I’ve come across. For real! Regardless if this is your first build or you go on to build another, it’s amazing the things you can accomplish. Happy travels from HAWAII 🤙

[artiestruckhouse]

I’ve gotta say. This is by far the most interesting and creative videos of a van build I have seen. I’ve watched thousands of these builds over 4 years and I’ve gotta say, this is the best one I’ve seen.

[vikramgaddam]

I have been watching this from the beginning. It was so cool for us to watch but since a beginer to build a van and vlog at the same time, i could imagine how tough it was for you. But you managed to get on with it and finally built the masterpiece. I could not wait to see your journey on road trips on this van. You are an amazing vlogger 👏. The camera angles and the content of the vlog and your talk, everything is clear and soothing to listen and watch. Thank you bernardo.

I love this van because it’s not like all the other modern vans it’s more my style I love it
