A Mobile Converter

[luvrbus]

Does any one know of a mobile cabinet builder that can convert a 1/2 finished bus,the one I know doesn't travel any more. I don't want to take it to a shop 100+ miles from home and drive Sonja over to check on the process 3 times a week, it starting to look like that is my only option

 It's been my experience that these guys have a lot of large pieces of equipment to do a good job wjth wood,, and travel time is expensive,,so hopefully you can find someone near.>>>Dan

Bill wasn't that expensive he converted a lot of buses at peoples locations lol he is like the rest of us he getting older and don't want to travel any longer to work

A quick Google search comes up with a half dozen shops in your area. I assume you have called around and talked to some? They may not come to you, but at least they aren't 2 hours away.

On another note, I have been back home for a few days. Going to be leaving next week until sometime in October so if you're still interested in that thing we talked about give me a call.

I don't know if I would trust just any cabinet maker to do the work.  They are used to doing houses, not buses that have to endure earthquake standards.  I did my own cabinets and used 1" square tubing welded to the bus for the hidden framework.  I have a full size micro convection oven mounted on steel tubing and hit bumps that make the turntable plate bounce off it's mount but the oven has never gotten loose. And you never see the steel tubing in my bus because it is covered by wood.  I don't know what other people do but the steel framing was my idea.

Cliff, I have a chainsaw and hammer and chisel and some railroad spikes. I have always wanted to try to convert someone else's bus. Bring it on over to my place and I should have it ready for you in a couple of days.

I am not looking to build a Moose Cabin or I would take you up on the offer Gary

Clifford just a suggestion why not have a Cabinet company put in the cabinet boxes and selves and the just measure for the doors you want, order them from HD or Lowe's Many styles to choose from. Then get them with hinge holes drilled. All you have to do is drill the hole in the box for the other end which they send a template for and install the doors. Less time at the cabinet shop and a whole lot less in price, alll solid material.

LOL Dave you of all people know what I am working against

Just convince Sonja that she likes a more rustic look.  Then turn me and Gary loose.  I think me and him are kindred spirits although I would add 4 inch deck screws and chipboard to his list of building materials. With your money and our skillset anything is possible.

If I was closer, I would do it for you

Careful what you say about my old Moose Cabin Cliff.  I may do this same design on my next bus as I love that rustic look.  The nice thing about it is, you can just shell your peanuts onto the floor like they do in Texas bars and when you spill your beer it absorbs it right up then you can sweep it out the door every few months.  It is also a very quick build.  A keg of beer and a few friends, we can knock one out over a weekend just like an Amish barn raising. :-)
