I have been working on building cabinets in the bedroom of our bus. One of my neighbors has graciously stepped forward and offered to help me with this conversion. I am super thankful as I don't currently own alot of the quality tools and machines (nor have the talent) one needs to make solid cabinets and he has a woodshop in his garage. I sometimes think he is more excited than I am about converting the bus.
Anyways - I wanted to post this picture to show off his superb skillz.- It's a 1/4" piece of plywood that we cut out to use as a template for the top of the cabinets along the curved ceiling in the Eagle. He drew out the template and cut it and we checked it and it fit perfectly the first cut. It would have taken me a bunch of cardboard and lots of wood with many cuts and trimming to get the ceiling arch this close. Amazing.

Longjohn,
Check our website - I will be posting most of the pics there as we move through the project. Bits and pieces here but it's easier to keep them all in the same place. www.herdofturtles.org (http://www.herdofturtles.org)

You're making good progress. We'll all look forward to seeing it at the Eagles Rally in Nashville in May ;D ;D
And you can stop by our place on the way there, or on the way back, or both. :)
Tom,
Will be working the dates of the Rally. Busiest month of the year for me from The 2nd week of April until the 2nd week of May.
Hopefully something in June/4th of July we can catch up with everyone at.
