Jimmy's Vans Bristol

15/11/2025

Bye bye little van 👋 off you go into the world! Some of the interior of this SWB Transit Custom has been left without a finish applied so that the lovely customer can spend some time in the space and take her time with decorating it just how she wants. I’m excited to see how she puts her own twist on it in the future! This one left the workshop yesterday and is straight off to its first party tonight 🎉Meanwhile I’m getting ready to get straight onto another bigger next project next week 👀

In case any potential customers are wondering - I am still alive and doing lots of lovely van stuff, I’m just rubbish at instagram! Here’s a cupboard for a van that’s leaving next week 😁

Not very dramatic but I do find it very satisfying making these drawer boxes :)

A lovely set of door panels ready to go into this Sprinter to match its ceiling, all birch ply and danish oil 😍

I’ve been told off a lot for never remembering to post any mid-build progress pics so here are a few that really do feel like progress! Many, many hours went into this monster ceiling panel but I’m chuffed with the result, and chuffed to get all my floor space back 😅 It’s bigger than any available single sheet of plywood, and with an overall thickness of only 13mm and cut around the skylight blinds (instead of fitting the blinds below the ceiling afterwards like normal) it really maximises the headroom while still looking pretty swanky. Oh and the lights are remote switched and dimmable 👌 swipe across for the finished article 👉

Been making some prezzies recently (which I’m not going to post yet!) and thought I’d put up some pics of this chest I made for Christmas a few years back.
More of this lovely custom cherry veneer birch ply from , solid walnut corners, solid cherry edging for the lid, and maple and walnut inlays 🥰

Love the dark spalted grain in the cherry veneered ply on this pull-out kitchen unit 🥰
