VW Custom bus Roof Rack - How to build one the hard way!

How to make a 'one-off' custom roofrack for a 72 VW Bus.
Step one - Find a very big log?
Step 2, invite lots of friends??
Step 3....just watch the movie!
There's more steps to building this bus roof rack than a West End dance routine!
There's a second follow up video to this showing how to obtain the full length battons and cutting them to size. That vid also shows how to make a seasoning tube and soaking the wood strips over the winter. Its not Mahogany its Malogdustsee?
To see how the rest of the bus re-build is coming along then check out my other videos - who needs a telly when youv'e got access to the Web and YouTube!
Don't just broadcast yourself; make it yourself!!
It ain't always easy, but it is always a lot of fun doin' it :)
ps. Late addition Jan 09 - Had to change audio on video because some soft tart objected; hence modified and not in synch with graphics any more, so is life :( . . . .but wot the hell :)

@mubbsi a noun; A derogatory term describing or referring to a person from a rural background or community. The noun hick usually describes lower class whites raised in rural areas on trailer parks or hog farms. Generally used more for Midwesterners and people from southern Ontario than Southerners (see: redneck)

General defining characteristics of a hick: Protestant upbringing, usually Baptist; racist and sexist opinions; does not attend collage ; dumber than a post.

@rellirTnoraa1; Hey 1, an eloquent retort sir, very informative bordering on mind expanding! Thx 4 the post - glad someone took the effort to follow up, surprised it's taken nearly a year though!

By the way, college unlike 'chow', doesn't have an 'a' in it!

:)

Ciao.

@mubbsi They often have poor grammar and drive pickup trucks. They care very little for the environment and often do not realize that their livelihood farming, is dependent upon a healthy and stable environment. However they are not solely farmers. In fact most hick's live in rural areas and live off welfare because they are too stupid to know how to farm.

[rellirTnoraa1]

@mubbsi They can usually be identified through the usage of the following words. Y'all, Yous (They fail to recognize that you can be both plural and singular) We's Thems, etc.

Thus they have poor comprehension of vocabulary and basic tenants of the English language.
