Michael, I am so glad I found you. I have gone back and watched all of your videos thus far and am enjoying watching your craftmanship. What an amazing job you do. Question, is this what you do for a living or is this for just pure enjoyment on your part? Not that I could ever dream of doing what you do, but thanks for sharing the detailed steps of your builds. I know you are helping many young people learn and experience your world. If I was 40 years younger I would definitely be following your lead. Great job!!! Please keep sharing.

This is definitely part of our build that I fear the most... yay for the Kreg!

You and Luc are UNBELIEVABLE craftsmen, perfectionists!! I am building my bus, at this time, drawing much from your experience and creativity. I am pleased that my floor plan is very similar to yours. You are MUCH better at seeing and maximizing every inch. I’ll be on the road soon as my house closes in 10 days. I hope to shake your hand, one day. You touch and inspire MANY more than you know. Keep up the good work.

Looking great!

Love watching these progress videos, they are so informative! Keep them coming!

Loving the bus build. Been following for quite some time! This is getting me excited to start our build in the next few months 😄

So enjoying your build seeing it all come together it great

Really surprised you didn't use the pocket hole jig to attach the pieces together!!! Doesn't that method make for a stronger cabinet???

@vincentpopovski9435

Most say it does, and i believe it does, but I’ve been driving my van for a long time with cabinets constructed the same way and it has held up just fine! You’d be shocked how strong the glue holds it by itself!

I love everything your doing to your bus

Gonna be nice

Great progress but I have a question about if you are ever going to need to access the bottom of those windows?

@navigationnowhere

3 жыл бұрын

The windows open from the top and will slide down behind the cabinets. Two of the three are emergency windows and swing out. They will still be accessible for cleaning that way.

OF COURSE you release this video 12 hours after I do my cabinets in my bus 😂

@navigationnowhere

3 жыл бұрын

haha I will have to speed up and get ahead!

you have this sign in the shop that says shop, you forgot to put the word chop above it ;) on a completely unrelated subject, check out what cruisingthecut did with his fireplace, for the backing, it is nice to use that and before you install the fireplace you have free access to the area behind the fireplace. just an idea to look into.

Looking good, but curious why you didn’t create one large box, with two dividers ( dadoed for slip in) rather than three separate boxes?

OMG so many questions... Love your videos. I got a 6 window G3500 with a Collins body and I think I got lucky because mine doesn't have the wheel wells. But about the questions: For whom doesn't have experience building cabinets (and with lots of free 2X4 lumber), would you recommend building cabinets with frames? Also, for the back and all other walls that won't be seen, do you think I could use (lots of good size free pieces...) OSB? And for last, what's your opinion (for someone like me) about buying used kitchen cabinets and cutting them to adjust to the bus build? Thanks and congrats on your bus.

I'm sure you're tired of me saying this, but it's true "another great video"

Love to watch the bus build, you guys are doing great, keep staying safe,

when I installed my cabinets in my bus one thing I wish I had done was paint the back of them so looking in from outside the bright wood doesn't stand out

I have that same tablesaw

Are you going to tint the windows behind the cabinets.

@navigationnowhere

3 жыл бұрын

They are already factory tinted so I am not sure if I will just finish the back of the cabinets nicely so that they look clean from the outside or dark tint the bottom. 🤷‍♂️

I have been a cabinet installer for 13 years and builder for same period if you need any advice let me know I can tell you anything you need help with.
