 Good morning from Colorado custom coach works The door the stand door. You don't know that this door Caused me a lot of stress It's a very tricky situation This used to be the top this is gonna be the top and just doing a 180 with it because we didn't Correctly go through this and we didn't correctly mount it before it almost shook off on the drive here So anyways, that's one thing So that's what I'm doing today, let's go check in with Eric Eric, what's going on in the wood shop today? Good morning. Good morning. Well, I have a little bit of a gap at my joint here and so one of the little ways of Besides just filling with material is they call it burnishing basically you take a tool similar to that essentially kind of Work it in along the edge of the set of the points. Oh, yeah And I kind of like pushing it together. Yeah, it essentially closes up Those those gaps it works better with hardwoods like this But it's a way to help to you know Clean up Clean up a corner that might not be as pretty as you like All right, cool, and guys I apologize for the noise it is a shop We're not the only ones working here These guys are raising roofs over here and all kinds of cool stuff by the way if you guys need a roof raise These guys are the top dogs What else you working on today countertop number two? Yeah Also get the the chessboard opened up and get to that stand Yep, it's kind of buried under the weight of our You know instead of a heavy-duty press. We've just got the primitive press where we've got a couple different chunks of wood And some heavy weight on there just to keep it to hold it all down So cool and if if you guys didn't see the previous video This is a inset chest table. I'm not even really all that great at chess Although it was in the middle school chess club Definitely forgot all whatever everything I learned, but I'll be playing Rob Lavender out at the James van build Over it or at RTR. So if anybody's up for a game come on over That is one badass looking chess table Probably a first in a school bus guessing By the way, this is miles miles came to help out Son of Reed happy to have you man. Thank you So anyways, I'm gonna get back working on that window. It's a pain in the butt. Also. I took Clean this up a bit. I've got a little latch for that, which is this thing Not sure it's the best, but you know, we haven't installed it yet Here's how the inside looks as of yesterday's work Yeah, most of the plumbing lines are in just got to put a propane line up top Put a bunch of you know Tiles in for the bath and stuff like that. He's apparently miles is a really good Tyler apparently so um, but we're looking pretty good in here All right, so as you guys know, I'm not a tradesman. I'm learning as I'm going and I'm sure someone's gonna have something to say about this little setup Maybe even the fact that I'm using wood to clamp it together. I probably should be using metal whatever Anyways, I got these things clamped together press them And then I'm just gonna fill every single little gap here with a weld and then sand it when I'm done So it looks nice and smooth and clean I'm also gonna have to fill these holes I'm gonna have to make new holes up here and I almost wish I could pull this whole thing out and redo it, but I Really don't want to go that far with it. It's I don't know if you can see that but I did all the rest there. It looks super chunky We got JT helping out because I just can't get the speed and the And the temperature right it's coming out Super chunky and bubbly and I don't know but it's also sheet metal. So they can't be fun We're gonna get the pro dial in it in here. All right, ladies and gentlemen, this is the correct way to weld sheet metal to That Looks like I have to just go piece by piece For Yeah You're gonna want to do it just like that. Oh, wow. Yeah, it looks good You're not gonna be able to stay on it. Otherwise it blasts through it kind of over here, right? Pretty much aim for your gap. Okay, and you know just Let it penetrate good stop move over let it penetrate good and you can keep a steady pace just like this Yep, okay, let's see. That is a lot better looking right there than this stuff over there Check in and see what's going on in here Miles. What's going on man? That's a good thing Your name isn't Peter. Otherwise you can make Peter pan So basically what you do is you cover the seam first. Mm-hmm, and then you have these little funky Corner pieces. Yep, and you literally just put mastic all over it and puts it all together It's where this thing will literally be a shower pan. It's all done. That's that pretty awesome So yeah, looks like we're pretty watertight. Those are the corner pieces Reed was talking about those are pre-made to come a little package and Yeah, moving right along here So well, I was outside working on some of the metal work looks like this part is done here, too We're gonna have to run a couple of wires through Pop right off these two screws. Yep. Oh, that's it. It's just held in place by two screws awesome so we were talking about this and what we're gonna do is Use uh, yeah that have two screws here and then just finish nail this stuff in so if I ever need to rip it off Or fix it or access it. I can just take it off put it back together. No You know no big deal You know one of uncle Dan's favorite sayings was fail to plan plan to fail unless your name is Reed and Jack's Right because we did fail to plan, but we are not planning on failing. We're planning on Conquering what we did was I am I we talked about this a couple times But I forgot to remind Reed that we had to drill a hole through the floor through the metal and leave a hole in here for the drain to the Composting toilets, so I just was under the bus Reed threw me under the bus So basically we're going through a couple layers Right through that X mark right there, and then everything's gonna be fine You know, but I know steampunk Steve when you watch this you're gonna have a good laugh and say oh, yes Sounds about right Good news. We're making progress on that hole and we got miles over here cutting tile I can't really see in this one, but take my word for it. He's cutting away here He's got some special fancy tile cutter Looks like an aquarium pump here to to pump the water in Fixing up this edge this used to be the top part. This is where those disaster holes were and so Yeah, I'm just welding on more material and making more of a flat edge adding a bit of material and Then this will become the top We missed the One by one couldn't think we missed the one by one iron box iron When we tried to go through here and thread it and also the threads didn't work out So I'll just go through I found the midpoint here by peeling this up Right on the side So 2.5 inches in And that is where the beam is I'll do the same thing over here drill through mount it Make it look nice and pretty. Let's go check in on Eric. How's it coming along? Yeah, somebody got a new haircut too Yeah, oh that's adjust the up down you stuck in there. Let me give you a hand Okay, you guys are saying up and running. Yeah, maybe it was too tight. Who knows yeah, but Yeah, I broke the fuse so This is looking amazing anybody want to play me some chess or checkers coming out to Jamie's van bill party or the RTR or Like me down when you see me driving on the road freeway and We'll make sure to play a game of a checkers or chess Custom chess table you know sometimes in life where you just have to abandon mission take a L and Divert course No, I'm not talking about the bus life. I'm talking about this window. This window is man everything about this window is is Doesn't match the rest of the bus. It is just It looks like I got it out of a junkyard. Unfortunately. It's just a very I'm not a metal person even it would be hard for these guys to Make it look good. Well, I'm about hard, but you know, it would take a lot of work It's beyond my expertise level beyond my skill set I did the best I could to make a nice line here, but That's not the issue. The issue is I filled these holes and I have this gigantic bump here in here This one's not so bad, but the whole thing dips waves, you know, whatever it just it's dented It doesn't match my perfectly not dented bus so I'm gonna take a I was talking with JT over here Colorado customer coach orcs. He said he would if it was him He'd probably just put sheet metal over the thing and then cut out an RV window I'm thinking that might be the best idea and uh Might only cost me a couple hundred bucks for that. So Hmm, I'm second toss this thing out start fresh Wow, look at that floor dude miles. You're the man. Thanks for your help. Really appreciate it Miles was just saying this is the nicest shower you've seen in a house bus I would agree with him. This is pretty damn nice. Oh, yeah We just laid the countertop in this is what it looks like without the stain without an epoxy finish on it We're just kind of test fitting. Let's go check out and see what Eric is up to All right, so I just sanded the thing down with two all the way to 220 which is pretty smooth If anybody works with hardwood, you know what I'm talking about. It's uh, it's almost like Porcelain, that's how smooth it is. So this is the stain that I previously liked So we're gonna test out. I don't know if you want to test out half of it with this half of the other one Or what do you what do you think of all on this side because we got light dark kind of the knots and everything We got a real good combination. Sounds good So this is a glaze a gel stain, I guess dark walnut So what wax on wax off kind of thing As you can see there's a little kind of brown green Kind of tint to it. It's just not a like a brown like a dark. Yeah, so we'll let that kind of rub it in good Okay. Now when I did that test strip I I kind of put it on left it for Not very long at all. Yeah, and I just immediately rubbed it off after 30 seconds or something Always check can for instructions I'll wipe completely wipe it off, but you want to just enough to get all that yeah those High points or any real blobs out of there That's a little bit darker than my sample piece over there What a difference. I mean where the white white becomes in there Yeah, look at all the grain that just gets that real brown that real rich brown color, huh? Not darker knots get real dark. Yeah Yep, I'm not super sold on that dark walnut because my piece over here was a little bit different guys Check out the difference now. This is a little bit different Of a piece Yeah, mine was a lot lighter And now although this is still a little on the wet side so that could change while it dries So yeah next couple days I'm not sure maybe I think we should try this one might have to yeah By the way, this is countertop number two right here countertop number two Right I'm almost like on the left side more What do you think I I like that? I mean if you still get the dark, you know and like all of the grain stupid dark, but it's not as Overpowering. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. There is a lot of Dark grain that kind of matches in with you know the darker color kind of uh Yeah, kind of camouflages the two different colors together So I mean right now I'm thinking this one. Let's try a light white and see what happens. All right a little change of plans here It looks like This was the uh, so this is a full Soaking of the dark full soaking of the light and I think I'm a fan of this one This was a quick wipe of the dark and a quick Uh wipe of the light Walnut, but yeah, just I think I like what it's doing to that part. Uh, so what do you say? Is that a winner? I'm a little worried about this because it'll come out. We have both light and dark. So I'm just All the dark The dark will really seem dark. Yeah the dark all these ones will come out much darker Because they're right next to these very whiter ones, you know, well worst case scenario we could Darken each dark square, right? You could okay a lot of work, but yeah, yeah, it can be done All right, this is uh, this is what we're looking like right now. All right, we're going for it guys I'm not a woodworker And so I don't know how this is going to come out, but you know, I trust Eric and uh, You know, if we need to make a darker we always can so i'm going to jump in and give him a hand We put the stain on And uh, wow is all I got to say this is going to be a similar color pattern to the Uh countertops. However, these are the dark pieces So the countertop is going to be a little bit on the lighter side with some of these other colors But um, Eric being the perfectionist that he is fine detailed Uh custom chest table maker. There's a couple uh lines from the belt sander So I think he's gonna do a little sanding. Is that right? Yeah, yeah, but wait until it dries out good and then Yep light sand just on the board itself. Gotcha. Yeah, you just want somewhere else You want to make sure everything is just right, but uh, I'd imagine when you're going against the grain, that's what happens though Anyways, right? Yeah, you go across the across the green lines. Yep. Yeah, so a little a little bit there A little there and there, but otherwise Phenomenal job. Wow And what a unique one-of-a-kind piece here So, um, yeah, like I said, anybody want to play some chess come on over. You know where I live
