 Good morning from Tucson! I've been here about two weeks. Well, Thanksgiving and then, yeah, about two weeks. And I've done absolutely nothing. And it's felt great. I was getting a little frustrated, as you saw in the last video. It feels like the never-ending bus build. I just want to say thank you to Justin T for joining Patreon. I appreciate you very much. Of course, and I want to thank everyone for watching. And of course, all the 36 people on Patreon who are helping keep this channel alive. Today I have very exciting, very exciting news. Mojo Bus is swinging by. They actually arrived last night in town. I stopped by the Walmart to say hello before they went to sleep. And one thing I've learned is that I really, really enjoy working with someone else on the bus. Partly because I'm a bit experienced, but partly because I like the camaraderie, I like the friendship, and I like to bounce my wacky ideas off of somebody. So yeah, perhaps bus number three, bus number four do myself. But for now, it's more fun to work with people. Also, I've kind of deviated away from the daily videos and I've tried to condense the material so that it's a little bit easier to watch and a bit easier to get information from if you are building a bus of your own. Guys, look who it is. Mojo Bus is back. What up, Justin? And Renee is over here as well. Good morning. Say hi to YouTube. Hi, YouTube. So they both graciously came by to help me out. I was like a damsel in distress. But just feeling a little overwhelmed and unmotivated. So it's nice to have friends come by to offer a hand. So today it looks like Justin is going to try and mount some of these doors. I think Renee also. So we have some of these cool little locking hardware mechanisms. This is like a boat-style thing where it locks in. Then we have some hinges. I forget where they are. Anyways, we've got hinges, doors, drawers, all kinds of fun stuff. I'm going to be working on the air horn. I got a new train horn from Amazon. If you guys don't know, I have an Amazon influencer store thingy storefront. So I'll put all the things that I use in there. So if you guys have a question about what I'm using, it's the easiest way to do it. And I get a little kickback from it. So a couple percent points or whatever. But this is a 145 dB train horn. Pretty much the loudest one legally allowed. This was the old setup. This was the solenoid. It just didn't push out enough air. Walk us through what you're doing, Justin. How do you make this hinge? So yeah, we're putting this hinge where drilling these holes in it. Craig has gone and made it real easy. We have this little jig and we just clamp it on. In the right spot, I'm doing three inches from the top, three inches from the bottom. Use our clamps here. Clamp it on there. And then this is the actual fit. Oh, so that locks into place there, huh? So this actually comes in here. Sorry, if I can do it. Just twist it in there so that piece is then clamped in there. Can you just drill the hole? Let's make a perfect hole there. Okay, awesome. And these are slow, soft closing hinges that we got. And so before you know it, the doors will be on. All right, this is the following day. I've got to go back to ACE for the fourth time today. But Justin and Renee are going to take over and they are going to be putting together the drawer boxes. All right, sweet. So I'm going to trust you with the camera. Okay. So tell us what you guys do. This is going to be the bottom of the drawer that's going to hold the big old 12-volt Dometic refrigerator. Here's the update. I'm back. I got myself some... God, I had to go like four trips to the hardware store. But I got myself some proper nuts and bolts. These are black ones. And I don't know what the difference is. I forget like machined or something drilled in the side here. It's going to go through both layers of the metal. Those are charging ports for USB. I did drop this and chip it while I was checking it out. So, oh well. This happens as they say. Anyways, I'm going to give these guys a hand to put together a drawer box. All right. He says simple. Why so? It's simple. We're doing nice simple drawer boxes. No dovetails, none of that fancy stuff. Just three-quarter. We're going to just screw the whole thing together and glue it. It's going to be super strong. Okay. All right. So as you guys can see, just have the base, the side pieces are the longer pieces. The front goes in the middle. Basically, the front and back go in between these ones. It seems simple. And then we're going to edge band it. Edge band. Top. Top. Cool. Let's get to work. Here is one of the drawers that MojoBus has been working on. I have an appointment to get to shortly, so I'm going to take off, but I'm going to pass the camera back over to MojoBus and they're going to film some of the drawer box making over here. The drawer box assembly here. We built these things like a brick house. We're building this all out of three-quarter and we're just going to butt joint and screw it all together. We put some edge banding on the top edges so it'll look nice. Pretty much. All we have to do is line everything up, make it nice and flush, and screw it together. Flush this front edge with the edge of the images. Screw the butt joints. Screw all these edges together first and then we're going to screw on the bottom. So three screws on each side into this and this puppy's not going anywhere. This is going to be a nice strong joint. I'm going to flush up the top edge on this one. Now we use our table to flush the bottom. Same thing. Three screws on each side. Make a nice looking drawer box out of three-quarter inch plywood. The sides are going to go on the drawer front and then we'll be installed. So a lot of this stuff isn't necessarily rocket science, but you never know what you don't know, right? So from watching Badge last time where he tapped into the air system, this is where I put a T. Now the line goes all the way through here and comes to here and then it's going to go right there through that hole and that's going to power the air horn. I want to say air horn. I mean train horn. 35 dB. Now the problem with the last air horn had nothing to do with us. This had a maximum pressure of 100. It wasn't enough air pressure to make a proper air honk thing. A lot of this bus stuff is trial and error. This is the outside table and I couldn't figure out how I was going to latch it to the bus and this is one of the possibilities. I don't know if that's going to work but it's a 90 degree latch and then it goes into this latch part. So that's, I don't know. It could go like that but the metal would go. Anyways, you know what I'm saying. Alright, through the magic of Hollywood movie making, one of the two tables is mounted. Thanks to Renee actually. She was the assist on this one. I'm missing a couple screws but I also got some loose screws. I'm saying. So, I need to go to the store and get a couple more there and a couple more here and this is actually quite nicely resting on the rub rail. And so, I don't actually need to have a thing. I could have a thing if you guys are confused by what I'm saying. Join the crowd. You're not alone. It was going to have like a little cable for support. Now, by not having a support it does provide a slightly cleaner look. But, I don't think anyone in their right mind would set their kid or anything heavy on this table. This is going to be the solar power charging station and I'll put like ZAMP and Lifeline, Victron, AM Solar. Memory ran out of space. I'm back over here a few days later and I am just tidying up the gate latches. So I have two installed, well, one installed on this, 100% the other one partially installed. There's really not much to this. These are just the 90-degree gate latches and I'm putting them on both sides as you can see. This one will go flat and then go through here. Let me show you the front one. And the front one, this one's nice and snug. It's right up against the bus. This one has a little space. Not as good as the front one, but it will work. So yeah, these things just go like that or something like that. There we go. And of course, I will have to install a chain. I'm going to hook the chain to this and then back around a loop through here to this with a removable, kind of like a clasp thing. So yeah, that way I won't have to have another additional anchor point. I can just anchor it to this. The back one, on the other hand, stays 90 degrees because of the rub reel. But I also want to put some kind of chain just to be on the safe side. I'm going to anticipate a lot of people putting stuff with weight, but just in case we do, at the AM Solar, Lifeline, Victron, ZAMP, Solar Charger, Solar Power Charging Station. I'll try and say that five times fast. But yeah, so this is how it's going to work. Fold down. Put some ports in here. I think in the next video we're going to start working on some of the solar because I kind of built myself into a corner. I have to do that. I've been putting it off. Mostly because I feel like I feel the most comfortable with solar as far as doing things by myself. And I did want to take advantage of carpentry skills, which I don't have and I don't feel as comfortable with. As you saw in the previous video, it was a little frustrated, but this is several weeks later and I'm feeling pretty good. I'm feeling back to my normal optimistic self. We all do get into slumps from time to time and I guarantee you working on a bus with minimal construction-building experience, you will get a little frustrated from time to time. Thank you for watching.
