Atypical Workshop

@UCdjAORigEuYnD54wFJFgDpg - 6.6K subscribers

Hi, I’m Matt, and this is The Atypical Workshop. I’ve finished converting my Mk1 Ford Transit Connect into a weekend camper, and now I’m renovating my house. Here you’ll find step-by-step DIY: gutting kitchens, fixing boilers, laying tiles, wiring electrics, fitting cupboards and more. I post new videos weekly (sometimes twice) covering camper-van finish-offs, house renovation and tool tests & tips. A bit about me: diagnosed with autism in 2020, I see problems differently and find shortcuts that make life easier. If you like practical projects without the waffle, hit Subscribe and tap the bell.
